The movie review describes Disney's live-action remake of "The Little Mermaid"
as one of the better adaptations in the studio's trend of reimagining their
animated classics. While some remakes have been
lackluster, this version expands on the beloved 1989 original by
providing deeper character development and a more meaningful relationship
between Ariel and Prince Eric.
Halle Bailey shines in the title role, infusing the character with charm and
vitality. The review praises the script's fresh approach to the story, the
expressive performances of the cast, and the way it explores themes of identity
and breaking free from parental expectations.
However, the visual effects, particularly the underwater scenes, are
criticized for looking flat and artificial. Despite this, the movie is seen as
an enjoyable escape to a fictional Caribbean island. |
