Every single change is made for the worse. The feeling that the animation invokes is completely lost in a film that's trying so hard to hide it's disdain for the themes of the original but it just can't help itself. The animals look terrifying. Changes made to the plot, although admittedly small changes, are still significant enough to make you scratch your head and ask "Why would they do that?". But then you remember that it's the mythical modern audience that this was made for... It's not worth the price of admission by a long shot. Wait till you can watch it for free if you have to watch it at all. Expand

This review has nothing to do with politics or anything like that. I didn’t enjoy this movie or ANY of the changes they made to the original story, the music was disappointing, the casting was misguided at best, dialogue below mediocre. I wanted to give it a fair shot, like I have all the live action remakes and every time I’m shocked at how bad they are. I set my bar pretty low and Disney somehow manages to undershoot by miles. Just stop, stop ruining everything and focus on creating good/new stories. I still believe you’re capable of it, despite all evidence to the contrary. To be honest I wanted to give it a zero out of 10 but that wouldn’t be fair. I’m sure most of the people including the cast worked very hard on this, it’s not their fault it was a massively disappointing mess. Expand

Totally different feel from the 1989 classic I loved. Not a fan of this new Ariel. I mean, seriously! She doesn't look a bit like Ariel at all. Kiddos were confused. Horrible CGI, atrocious rapping by Scuttle.

And that horrible scuttlebutt song...that was insane. How did that pass quality control?

I watched the original film for the first time after watching this and understood why everyone was so upset about this film. This new one is dull and lifeless with dumb modern touches that destroy the timelessness of the original. Disney needs to fail. I finally accept it and hopefully the disastrous indiana Jones sequel coming later this summer will put the final nail in the coffin. Films like this make one realize how cynical and empty and hateful and greedy the people redoing all these stories are because you can actually go back and watch the original which transports you into a fairytale the way it is supposed to.

Let disney die. Nothing of it remains, anyway here.

Good riddance.

Hopefully she isn’t wasted anymore on Disney. They don’t have original ideas anymore, and recycle old ones and try to put new spins on those ideas hoping the public will buy them again. Why not make a brand new little mermaid movie, or something completely different, to showcase Halle instead of throwing together a live action with poor cgi? Expand

4) script dropped details and added useless things
5) natural graphic of crab and fish is garbage. Like some small insects.
6) songs are very so so
7) weird to see black daughter from white father and white son from black mother. It can make damage to kids. Personally I don't care much but this was not logical at all. Like why?
8) The coast and king and king on coast looked like homeless dude that searches garbage bins for food.
9) sisters of Ariel has different natianality. how white father can have black Ariel, asian and albinos daughters?

10):
But the main fail is it was overall lame. It was like cheap 2000th spectacle when you hire low paid workers to work for food.

The CGI was bland, the acting stiff and lifeless, they destroyed the supporting characters, they changed Ariel from a young woman who was curious and excited about the world outside, but was taken advantage of and needed to overcome the unknown to now being a girl boss who doesn't need any help, knows how to do anything/everything, and has an "I'm better than you" attitude.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I promise, this is not brigading…I actually paid to watch this crap! The Little Mermaid is definitely not the worst live-action Disney remake but it is the most frustrating by far. It is a mess of differing tones, great cgi mixed with laughably atrocious cgi, over-acting mixed with wooden acting. This movie doesn’t know what it wants to be.

Tone - starts off as visually darker, more gritty, and more realistic (the sea life looks and acts like they’re real.) Missing a few of the musical numbers from the beginning of the animated film, but then halfway jumps to bright, vibrant cartoonish colors and lighting and haphazardly goes from one song straight into another. They even gave Scuttle the bird (voiced by Awkafina) a freaking RAP. And all the musical numbers have that annoying sing-talk-sing-talk formula.

CGI - underwater elements looks good, except the characters themselves. Hair sometimes sways with the ocean, sometimes it looks like a helmet. When characters are fully computer generated, their faces look like bad deepfake (there’s one scene with Ariel near the end of the film where it doesnt even look like she has pupils). The finale with giant Ursula is so dark it was obvious that it was intentional to cover up the laughable cgi. Acting - Halley Bailey was usually good (sometimes overacting though) in scenes by herself, but has awful and blank reaction shots whenever anyone is talking to her. Melissa McCarthy is understandably hammy with her overacting to the point where she wouldn’t be out of place in a bad off-off-Broadway production. (For Venture Bros fans out there, she sounds EXACTLY like Red Mantle.) All of Ariel’s sisters are wooden that they give Gal Gadot a run for her money. Akwafina was Akwafina. Prince Eric guy was okay, but his performance made me wonder why this movie has five different accents in one region…British, American, Spanish, Caribbean, and New Orleans??

So why did I waste my time and money on this turd? I was excited to go to a movie theater with my kid, who is four. My kid has that new glimmer of excitement when I ask if they want to see a movie in a theater! But it is very telling how bad a movie is when your four year old says it’s, “kinda okay”.

So, where to begin? For those who still thinks, this is racism based cause the main actress which was chosen is a black woman.
It's a BIG NO, you're wrong.

It's because Disney ruined memories, demandings and trample on the original. If anyone really think, it's because she is black is blatantly wrong. Furthermore the decision, that is clearly made on a woke base, is just wrong. Politics should NEVER have an impact on an original.

Facts: If Disney really wanted to be an woke ambassador, why not creating (and risking) a black mermaid on a brand new name? Thats the second thing, why this remake deserves the flop status. No one would care about Halle Bailey as a Mermaid. People care because Disney used expactions from the name Arielle. Create new male or female heroes, even trans or black, wouldn't create that outcome.

When you have zero respect for the original, you get what you deserve.
Not true? Let's take a look at The witcher when Henry left, let's take a look at the Witcher spin off, and also the Rings of Power.
I swear to god disney, if you ruin the Frozen Movies or The Fox and the Hound i will never ever touch anything again related to your company. Than you give more about politics than creativity.

And Triton also seems to have had his fun with all the mermaids around the globe, because Ariel's sisters are apparently Asian, African, German, Nordic, etc. Where even the woke nonsense doesn't even make sense. You should really watch Arielle with an open mind because the actors are convincing in the end. But anyone who knows Arielle could not identify with it from childhood. Expand

The latest in Disney's attempt to cash in on all their old IPs instead of making something new and original has finally hit the screens and it's not great.

A far cry from the bright captivating colors of the original, this ocean is dark and muted. Have the animators even visited a coral reef before? Or are they just trying to hide imperfect CGI by just turning down the color and brightness? Perhaps they should watch Avatar 2 to see how to do a stunning live action underwater world right. The live action aspect actively hurts the film due to making the non-human characters unexpressive at best, uncanny valley at worst.

The run time is bloated, and although they have added some extra things in to fill the time, you kind of wish on the whole that they didn't. The rap song is particularly bad and doesn't feel like it fits at all with the rest of the music in the film.

Halle can certainly sing, but that's just not enough by itself to save this movie. Like many of Disney's remakes that have gone before, there's no particular reason for this live action remake to exist apart from being nostalgia bait. A low effort way to try and reel audiences in rather than making something shiny and new. Give it a miss and watch the original instead.

The plot makes no sense - why is Ariel's father supposed to convince himself of the people - who, according to this version, killed his wife and Ariel's mother, when all the work in the finale is done by our little mermaid? That was the point of the original - the prince showed that he was worthy of a little mermaid despite the fact that he is "only" human. But of course, the screenwriters' delusions must be stronger than the positive message of the original. Expand

So basically, not only is it an unoriginal movie using the exact same dialog, songs, and plot, they decide to wreck the main character while they're at it. What did you think was going to happen?

This is my 'unverified' comment what I have posted in Rotten Tomatoes, a rating movie site which is bribed by Disney, so now I repost it here again:
Such a disgrace and blaphemous to my childhood by casting an urgly, bad-acting, and pseudo-voice actress like this. Anyone votes down or tells bad about this aweful movie is labeled "racist". I'm Vietnamese coming from Asia so there is no racist here. If you buy the expensive ticket for this cheap movie then you are wasting your hard-earning money. You are definitely going to regret to money and time after warching this, just mark my words and you'll see.

They are so creatively bankrupt that they can't even STEAL their old content effectively. The writers had an easy job: Take an old masterpiece + turn it into live action = easy money.

Wait...wait wait wait.....we have to check some boxes first. Change skin color for a bunch of people, change the theme of the story to be geared towards female empowerment (because Disney has never done that before), and make sure we hire people based on their skin color/gender. Talent? Pfff.....that's not a part of the hiring process you fool! Put aside all of the politically driven choices that were made for casting and writing (such as Arielle killing Ursula, not Eric), the film is just an absolute slog. I cannot imagine children wanting to watch this film. I was wanting to fast forward through it after only about 10 minutes. There is so much pointless fluff; it isn't exciting. What is the opposite of being "glued to your seat"? Wanting my seat to have an "EJECT" button? Yeah, that seems about right. Disney has no idea how to make movies anymore. It's just a fact. They don't care about entertainment and I don't think the executives even actually care about the various political causes they pretend to rally around either. They just care about the ESG money being funneled in from Blackrock and State Street. Well guess what Disney? I think that line of credit is starting to get tapped out. Your coffin might need one or two more nails but any way you cut it, modern Disney cannot continue in this fashion. What we the customers are left with are soulless PRODUCTS, devoid of any character, risk, heart, or quality. I have been watching the woke agenda take over for over 15 years. It was this year that normal people have finally....FINALLY started to notice. And it's about damn time.

I only give this a 0 because The Little Mermaid failed at its job to entertain me or anyone else in the audience and feels like a bad and pointless cash grab.
Most of the good stuff will be better in the original animated feature, so why bother giving it points when there's a top-notch animated version compared to this depressing remake that stole the sole from the OG film and replaced it with garbage?
The CGI is rushed and looks awful, for example. They expect this to work well with kids when the designs look just as bad as the other CGI elements, which freaked out the kids in my audience.
Worse, the songs.
Some are missing, while the additions don't fit and feel like they were songs stolen from another feature or production and slapped out of laziness.
Not to mention, the runtime is 2 and 1/2 hours. There is no need for that runtime, and it's painfully clear why when it forgets how to tell the story during parts of the movie and adds filler to make it to the runtime.
It's not surprising the kids in the audience were bored and wanted to leave.
My little brother and sister, who wanted to go, hated it, and they asked me to take them.
You're wasting your time if you see the remake.
Just watch the original. Everything is better there, and you don't have to worry about freaking out or boring your kids.

The script is sub par and the direction is uninspired. The film's visuals are also underwhelming, with the underwater scenes lacking the vibrant color and energy of the animated film.
The biggest problem with the remake is that it feels like a paint-by-numbers retread of the original. The story is the same, the songs are the same, and even the characters are the same. Anything new (music, scenes) is total garbage. There is nothing new or exciting to be found here, and the film quickly becomes a tedious and predictable affair.
