Again, it is mostly positive on Rotten Tomatoes right now and you have not seen it. I’m sorry to disappoint you.

Yup. This. Exactly this. People declaring that it suck’s before they see it is just ridiculous.

My biggest concern so far is the “Scuttlebutt” song.
Halles vocals are incredible and I can’t see how anyone can say any different.
Melissa McCarthy & Daveed Diggs look/sound like they’ll be giving some stand out performances as well.
Jonah Hauer-King also sounds great as Eric.
As per my previous comment, don’t really care for Akwafina, and I don’t think she was a good choice. Javier doesn’t seem like a great Triton either. I haven’t listened to the new songs on the soundtrack but I have heard positive things.

So basically the worst Disney movie since 2017.
And one of the worse of all time.
Enjoy!!

There was an annoying seagull in the absolutely atrocious Pinocchio remake as well. That one was insanely voiced by Lorraine Bracco. Hopefully Akwafina is better than that, lol. Don’t know anything about this Scuttlebutt thing.

The reviews are telling us what an educated observer would have guessed - it’s incredibly safe, workmanlike, uninventive, and any new additions feel extraneous BUT Bailey and McCarthy are very good, production values are high, and the core story remains strong. In the pantheon of Disney paint-by-number remakes, it’s one of the better ones. If that’s what you want, you’ll enjoy it.
Look, we all like what we like. I’m gonna see Fast X even though I know it will be dumb as heck. I want these remakes to stop, but I’m not gonna begrudge folks who like them a good time.

You do know that it is Monday and the film opens on Friday, correct? Most reviewers have not yet weighed in, and I thought that most of you haters are of the “reviews don’t matter” faction anyway.71 Disney and Pixar Movies Ranked By Their Rotten Tomato Scores!

Did you see the film yet
Sure the reviewers are mostly Disney shills.
However I have been informed that audience score doesn’t count, so what am I suppose to do?

My sincere hope is that this movie makes more money than it cost to make and market.
TWDC really needs a win here.

Disney will shortly pass Uni as the highest grossing studio for 2023. It’s doing fine.

Trauma’s saying a lot of incorrect things, but the critical consensus is pretty much set. We may see a few points of movement in the score, but it’s unlikely to be substantive.

So let me get this straight. The good reviews are Disney shills and the bad reviews are legit????Sure the reviewers are mostly Disney shills.

I’ve seen Rotten Tomatoes scores change drastically (for both better and worse) between a Monday and a Friday opening.

I'm still trying to find out why people are arguing with someone who hasn't seen the movie and doesn't plan to. Just take their comments for what they're worth and move on.

It is not a “lazy copy paste” if one of them is less than 90 minutes and another is over two hours. You seem particularly triggered tonight. Why?
I don’t believe the critic reviews at all when it comes to Disney movies.
I have posted audience reviews and been shouted down on this forum that they don’t count.
So I guess if everyone gets to cherry pick what counts or not I should join in on the fun.
