Disney's Live Action The Little Mermaid

[DCBaker]

Isn't that the same IMAX poster?

 

[Ghost93]

That looks more like Avatar: The Way of Water than The Little Mermaid.

Dose abs!!

Dose abs!!

Well, she is constantly swimming, gotta have a good core to pull that off.

70 on RT with over 70 reviews.


Critics Consensus
With Halle Bailey making a major splash in the title role, Disney's live-action Little Mermaid ranks among the studio's most enjoyable reimaginings.

 

[BrianLo]

But when are the real real reviews coming?

/sarc

It’s largely in line with what we expected. A passable RT score. Now comes the audience 90+ percent and an A CinemaScore. Finally a healthy box office return.

I thought THIS McCarthy was playing Ursula. Perfect casting

I actually like the Japanese poster the most

So when the audience scores come in for this are we still going to blame review bombing?

Just wondering since the reviewers also say it sucks.

It’s 69% right now on rotten tomatoes. Seems more mixed to positive if anything based on what I’ve seen.

I’ve seen more positive to mixed rather than “it sucked”. I’ve seen several people saying it’s the best Disney remake

What are you talking about… it has been 70% that is far from all reviewers thinking it sucks

69% for a Disney movie ?

Either the checks have stopped clearing or this is real bad.

Some reviewers say it sucks. Other reviewers say it is fantastic. Let’s not get it twisted.

I wouldn’t tell anyone NOT to see this movie. It is all about fan service and if you are a fan who wants this, you should try it… in a theater. But it’s not a good movie.

“David Poland”

Still rated it fresh though.

Sounds fresh to me.

How can you declare that it is not a good movie if you have not even seen it???? I’m seeing it Thursday night and if it sucks, I will be the first one on here to declare that it sucks. But you don’t know that yet, and neither do I. In the meantime, a lot of the “bad” reviews on Rotten Tomatoes (it’s still mainly positive) are from extremely questionable sources, like the far right Rupert Murdoch owned New York Post, which hasn’t said anything true in years. And this review just came up on my feed. It’s from Variety, which I trust a lot.
