Let's be honest, there are bad reviews because of racism. Halle is perfect as Ariel. To be honest, I never watched the older one, it was the first time I was watching Little Mermaid.

To be honest, I never watched the older one, it was the first time I was watching Little Mermaid. Even though I don't have the nostalgia, I loved more the movie than I thought I would. It's not perfect, like a new music for Eric - this song was embarrassing and inconsistent -, or the color correction, wich was too dark most of the time. It's not the best live action of Disney, but it's one of the bests. Expand

My mother (55) and grandmother (81), who both saw the animated film in theaters, also thoroughly enjoyed it. In my opinion, one of Disney’s best remakes yet. The film is true enough to the original animated film while still adding new scenes and songs that provide depth into the characters. The few changes that were made did not disrupt the plot in any major way, and did not bother me. The whole cast did a spectacular job, and Halle Bailey absolutely blew me away with her portrayal as Ariel. In addition to her ethereal singing voice, her face is so beautifully expressive and the viewer can truly connect with Ariel. Her performance brought me to tears multiple times, it was truly more emotional than the original animated film. I couldn’t think of anyone else who could have done such a fantastic job, she truly embodied the curious and kind Ariel. Bailey and Jonah Hauer-King (Prince Eric) had amazing chemistry, I was completely invested in their love story.
Despite people mentioning dull and poorly done CGI, the underwater scenes were spectacular and colorful; truly magical. The animals, particularly Flounder and Sebastian, are drastically different looking than the animated film, but the realism works next to the live actors and they do not seem out of place. I found Under the Sea to be one of my favorite song sequences, mostly due to all of the dancing animals and plants. Bailey’s additional vocals were also a treat. The land scenes where also beautiful, and I loved the in-depth view of Eric’s castle and the village around it. Time was taken in the film to flesh out Eric as a individual, and the culture of his kingdom. After seeing Ariel experience 3 days on land, the viewer can truly see why she loves it and how she fits into it.
I would absolutely recommend this film for anyone who enjoys the original film, fairytales, or love stories.

The actress that played Ariel is amazing the way they showed how she feels trapped in the ocean is truly amazing, Ursula was amazing, yeah some probably 2 songs not needed but whatever that was more kid based but out of all amazing movie

La experiencia de ver a Halle Bailey interpretando las canciones es maravilloso y si la ves en cine hasta te eriza la piel, sin duda es una buena película aunque con varios detalles en algunos personajes.

I'm a 41 year old white dude who never watched the animated one growing up as a kid, but has as an adult since seen it a ton of times over the last 15 years as it's my wife's favorite Disney film and I have to say this is easily the best liveI'm a 41 year old white dude who never watched the animated one growing up as a kid, but has as an adult since seen it a ton of times over the last 15 years as it's my wife's favorite Disney film and I have to say this is easily the best live action version yet by far!!

I actually thought it was just a woke casting choice and was sad it wasn't a natural redhead cast at first, but after seeing it I can see that is not the case at all! She does amazing as Ariel. She nails the vibe and the voice and the songs and is very easily likable in the role.

And everyone else in the cast does great in it! Melissa McCarthy as Ursula is fantastic and she gets lost in the role.

They nailed the songs and I thought even the new rap song in the film worked and was funny because Ariel isn't having it as it happens.

My biggest complaint is the cinematography could have been a bit better in some scenes but other than that I have no complaints.

It really was a fun watch and if you can see it in 3d it's a nice additional touch.

The overall story was actually improved upon and both Ariel and Eric are given more reasons to connect and be flushed out full characters.

All in all Id rate it a 9.3 but since trolls on here are obviously unfairly rating this film I rounded up and gave it a 10.

This movie is hands down better than all the other live action adaptations by far. Like it's the first one that has actually made sense as a live action and stood on its own I could almost go see it again the next day because it was such a fun easy watch.

Don't listen to the haters, it's well made and well acted and well cast! All around a very great film (I am a huge animation fan in general fyi) and I would say that this is the first actually great live adaptation

Pequena Sereia traz um sentimento de infância, de quando tudo era mais bonito e nossa vida mais doce, me senti como se voltasse a ter 9 anos e sonhando em ser sereia.
Halle tem uma atuação e voz belíssima, ela não é somente a protagonista
Pequena Sereia traz um sentimento de infância, de quando tudo era mais bonito e nossa vida mais doce, me senti como se voltasse a ter 9 anos e sonhando em ser sereia.
Halle tem uma atuação e voz belíssima, ela não é somente a protagonista como também é o ponto alto do filme, trazendo de forma artística toda a doçura e inocência de Ariel.
É tudo que eu esperava que esse filme fosse.
