Review of The Little Mermaid (2023) by Aclower — 27 May 2023
Is it the worst remake? No. Is it the best remake? No. It's what you would expect of a remake. The CGI is wonky at times. The romance scenes seem forced. The songs are underwhelming and don't hold up to the original at all.
The only song that I really liked was McCarthy's Poor Unfortunate Souls, because it stayed true to the original as much as it could. McCarthy was also really good as Ursula, and I think she fit into the role quite nicely.
Also, really liked the fact that Jodi Benson had a cameo. I will never forgive Lin-Manuel Miranda for putting The Scuttlebutt in the film. Not only was it cringe, but it was annoying. I also had a hard time sitting still as the movie was 2 hrs and 15 mins long.
The changes were unnecessary and add nothing to the story. Save yourself. Watch the original. You'll have a better time of watching that, then you will this.
