The special effects and voice acting are good, but they don't have the charm of the original movie.

why watch this remake if the original is a thousand times better? simply an unsolicited product that contributes nothing and confirms the difficulties of disney authors

Everything about this movie from the cinematography to the acting is just downright awful.

That isEverything about this movie from the cinematography to the acting is just downright awful. Disney slapped this thing together and advertised it in a way they knew would create c0ntr0ver5y over the r ace of the main character. That is honestly the only thing they rely on here. We are sick and tired of it! The new song, the rewritten lyrics to older songs, and plot changes make this entire slog of a film a meaningless experience with so many contrivances anyone looking for a good time should spend their money elsewhere.… Expand

The underwater scenes were absolutely gorgeous, and the clothes, hair, makeup, and places were incredibly well done. It truly felt like I was transported into that magical world.
I was particularly impressed with the way the directors were able to modernize the story while still staying somewhat true to the original. Even though I lowkey missed some parts from the animated version, I absolutely enjoyed and loved the new additions here. And its commitment to diversity. The cast is refreshingly diverse, featuring actors from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds. This not only adds an important element of representation to the film but also makes the story feel more authentic and inclusive. And of course, I have to give a special shoutout to Halle Bailey's singing voice. She absolutely nailed every song in the movie, bringing a fresh and modern take to some classic tunes. Her voice is so ethereal. Her rendition of "Part of Your World" and even her version of "Vanessa's Trick" gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes.
Overall, I would highly recommend The Little Mermaid to anyone looking for a new, visually stunning, engaging, and diverse movie that will capture your heart from beginning to end. Diversity and inclusion are never bad when done properly, it doesn't affect the plot or character here, different versions can exist, and we can choose our favorite and ignore the others.… Expand

Best Live Action! It's not 100% like the animated version, and that's okay! This is new, fresh, diverse, and magical! Halle's voice is perfect for Ariel, she is so adorable and embodies the character perfectly. The way she expresses herself,Best Live Action! It's not 100% like the animated version, and that's okay! This is new, fresh, diverse, and magical! Halle's voice is perfect for Ariel, she is so adorable and embodies the character perfectly. The way she expresses herself, the body language, the chemistry!! I loved every single character. I also loved the setting, the display of the culture, makes way more sense for the movie! It's funny and beautiful. This is also a great gift for all those black/brown girls that didn't have the chance to see themselves like this before, I can't wait to see if there's a sequel and what's going to happen!!… Expand
