Review of The Little Mermaid (2023) by Dnlhdez87 — 26 May 2023

A nonsense and unnecessary live action. Terrible casting by the way. The race ''diversity'' doesn't make sense sometimes. Triton is polygamist, his daughters are all from different races. Ursula is the pretty one, Eric's mother is black but Eric is white.

And of course, the protagonist's absurd race swapping from white to black obviously to promote Halle Bailey's career. She can be sweet sometimes during the film, but she's definitely not Ariel. Her acting feels forced and fake in order to fit a character she never fit into from the very beginning.

The CGI sometimes looks good, but most times looks horrible. The animals are not funny at all, and all the comedy that the original movie had got lost. In general, this film does not have anything new to add up to the same formula and falls far short of its animated counterpart.
