평가 및 리뷰

Where to start? The changes made are jarring and nonsensical. The casting is polarizing(including the controversial lead). Although a talented singer, Halle Bailey can't act. Scuttle is very unbearable(Voiced by an old chain smoker?) Scuttlebutt is the worst Disney song EVER! The film looks dreary with dark toned colors and fake CGI. The movie misses the mark of what made the original a classic. It's another pointless remake, skip this and go watch the 1989 classic.

Pretty bad. The cartoonish setting doesn't really lend itself to a live action version, so flounder, sebastian and (Akwafina? really!?) scuttle just don't have the same magic. Arielle's underwater kingdom is a world full of color in the 1989 classic but in this version the sea is much darker. This makes for realism but the visuals suffer. Eric is a blank slate, ariele can sing but she can't act, and of course was hopelessly miscast anyway. Leads have no chemistry. Also 2:15hr for a kids movie!?

They could have made their own movie, but nope. They had to make it woke. My argument isn't about the color of her skin, it is about the fact they pushed it along with their new diverse vision, forcing movies to have diverse actors. No longer will creative minds make films, they will now be forced to meet a quota based on skin color. Racist if you ask me.
