For those who saw the film, what did you think of Jodi’s cameo? Such a fun and uplifting moment for me!

36% for The Lion King and 41% for Aladdin. No-one expected the critics to love this remake.We are getting to the point of critical mass on Rotten Tomatoes' Top Critics rating, currently sitting at a Rotten 48%. Note that Strange World's Top Critics rating was 73% and Lightyear's was 61% for recent comps.
It’s only review bombing when people who haven’t actually seen the film rail against it for personal and/or ideological reasons. (See this thread for examples of such a mindset.)Oh wait, that would mean that the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, NPR, Associated Press, Hollywood Reporter, etc. are "review bombing" racists. Never mind.
Wouldn’t that be more appropriate discussion for the Spoiler thread?The songs, the acting, the visuals, the plot—among many other topics. A whole thread’s worth of things.
What? It’s been 5 days…Wouldn’t that be more appropriate discussion for the Spoiler thread?
I posted a spoiler-free review here, as did others. Perhaps this thread should be renamed “Disney's Live Action The Little Mermaid—for those who don’t actually plan to watch it” if discussion of the film itself is somehow off-topic!Wouldn’t that be more appropriate discussion for the Spoiler thread?
All this talk about it it being the "fifth highest grossing Memorial Day weekend film" reminds me of how Cleopatra (owned by Disney now lol) was the #1 highest grossing film of 1963... but was so much of a financial disaster that it nearly caused Fox to shut down.But it was the fifth highest grossing Memorial Day weekend film* and a woman on Facebook really liked it! Doesn’t that count for something?

Not by my definition, but I’ll delete my post if others think it is.Isn't mentioning that there's aa spoiler?Jodi Benson cameo
I guess it gets frustrating because, again, I never said it was a failure. But yet you say your opinion is different than mine. Here's what I said again.By my standards (which appear to be different from yours), The Little Mermaid is not a failure. If I felt the opposite, I would readily say so.
In no way did I call the film a failure. It seems that only the negative part of what's being said is looked at, not the whole statement. If the movie doesn't profit, than I'd say it's a failure. I see nothing wrong with that as an opinion. I love Transformers. I might love rise of the beasts, and because of the not so great way the franchise has been handled, it might not profit. If it doesn't, I'd say that's a failure. just like I said prince of Persia is a failure. And I loved the film.As far as the box office goes, it is/was pretty well assumed by most that the movie would make between 600/700mil plus. Will that be a success or failure? Depends on your definition. If the movie makes money, I'd say it was successful. If it falls short of making a profit, that's a fail in my eyes.
Because my opinion is different from yours. You wrote, “If it falls short of making a profit, that's a fail in my eyes.” In my eyes, that isn’t a fail, which is why I said we have different standards.I guess it gets frustrating because, again, I never said it was a failure. But yet you say your opinion is different than mine. Here's what I said again.
I feel like the stuff you mentioned could only really be discussed if someone had seen the film. And i kind of thought that’s the purpose of the spoiler thread - to discuss all the aspects of the film amongst those who’ve seen it.I posted a spoiler-free review here, as did others.

I’m not sure how to respond to this. Clearly my notion of what constitutes a spoiler is very different from yours.I feel like the stuff you mentioned could only really be discussed if someone had seen the film. And i kind of thought that’s the purpose of the spoiler thread - to discuss all the aspects of the film amongst those who’ve seen it.
This thread seems to me to be more appropriate to talk about stuff related to the film like the box office or critic/audience scores or release dates, etc. stuff that aren’t dependent on having seen the film. but that’s just how I view the difference. Sometimes I don’t get to see a film for a few weeks after it’s been out and I avoid the spoiler thread but wouldn’t not look at a thread like this.
Because isn't that what everyone around here is doing? I have no strong opinion one way or the other on the topic of this thread, but, IMO, there is a good deal of all around bickering in this thread. It is tiresome.Well if that's the case, why do you keep arguing with people over whether this damn film can already be declared a flop!
Of the movies coming out this summer, Indie is one of the more appealing options, IMO. It looks fun.If you look at projections for Elemental they may just give up on it and put that money towards Indie.
Your twisting more than a wounded rattler on this…I posted a spoiler-free review here, as did others. Perhaps this thread should be renamed “Disney's Live Action The Little Mermaid—for those who don’t actually plan to watch it” if discussion of the film itself is somehow how-topic!
