The Little Mermaid (2023)

[Bartmanhomer]

Hello everyone. Today I'm going to review the live-action movie version of The Little Mermaid (2023) and I'm going to give my fair and honest review of it.

Disclaimer: Before I begin my review, I have something to say about this whole ridiculous controversy of The Little Mermaid. Everyone has their opinions about the leading actress of Ariel. Yes, I have already mentioned my thoughts about Ariel's skin color and I strongly supported Halle Bailey. The reason why I choose to watch this movie is because of nostalgia, art, and entertainment. I am also a movie buff and I go to the movies every Saturday. And I think this whole controversy is completely stupid, to begin with anyway.

Spoiler!

On last Saturday, I went to IMAX to see the live-action version of The Little Mermaid. This movie is about Ariel the mermaid falling in love with a human named Prince Eric. What I like about this movie is there were so many nostalgic songs such as Under The Sea. What I don't like about this movie is that some of the certain animals that I wasn't giving for such as Sebastian the crab were too cartoon-like. He wasn't realistic enough for me. Flounder the fish and Scuttle the bird were too ugly for my taste. I didn't have any issues with Max the dog (Prince Eric's Dog) and Ursula's electric eels. Their appearance was good but the rest of the animals were not. Also, some of the scenes were a bit dark and grim. Halle Bailey did a wonderful join performing Ariel. So the movie was decent in my opinion. I prefer the cartoon version better. So take your chance when seeing this movie.
