Ondanks de vele negatieve commentaren, best nog een goeie film.
Beste Disney film, nee, maar vond hem zeker en vast niet slecht.
Mooie beelden, goed verhaal, goeie acteurs.
Meerderheid van de zaal was redelijk positief.
Ben benieuwd of dit een kassa succes wordt of juist een flop...
Ga hem gewoon kijken
Despite the many negative comments, quite a good film.
Best Disney movie, no, but I certainly didn't think it was bad.
Good pictures, good story, good actors.
The majority of the audience was quite positive.
I wonder if this will be a box office success or a flop...
Just go check it out

Een van de betere live action remakes van Disney, al zegt dat vooral iets over de gruwelijk slechte films die we al gezien hebben. Grootste manco van deze The Little Mermaid is toch wel dat de film te vaak sleept, niet boeit. Zeker het eerste uur schiet niet op. Maar eens Ariel voeten heeft en op land loopt wordt de film een heel stuk beter, mede doordat het centrale koppel best leuk is samen met goede chemie. Bailey is ook prima met een fijne mix van speelsheid en verwondering met een flinke portie zelfbewustheid. Prettig. Eric is wat kleurloos daarnaast, helemaal in het lied dat hij zingt dat echt geen moment gaat leven. Bailey zingt wel beter maar blijft ook wat vlak in de emotie tijdens het zingen, als actrice is ze beter op dreef. Visueel aardig maar soms erg kitscherig, de zee voelt niet echt aan (James Cameron deed dat beter in zijn Avatar deel 2) en soms is het ook gewoon wat saai in beeld gezet met wel af en toe leuke ideeën in de montage. Ik ga vandaag eens enorm vriendelijk zijn in mijn score: 3,0*.
One of Disney's better live action remakes, although that mainly says something about the horribly bad films we have already seen. The biggest shortcoming of this The Little Mermaid is that the film too often drags, does not fascinate. Certainly the first hour is not fast. But once Ariel has feet and walks on land, the movie gets a whole lot better, partly because the central couple is quite fun along with good chemistry. Bailey is also fine with a nice mix of playfulness and wonder with a good portion of self-awareness. Nice. Eric is a bit colorless in addition, especially in the song he sings that really doesn't live for a moment. Bailey sings better but also remains somewhat flat in the emotion while singing, as an actress she is better on track. Visually nice but sometimes very kitschy, the sea doesn't feel real (James Cameron did that better in his Avatar part 2) and sometimes it's just a bit boring with some nice ideas in the editing. I'm going to be very kind today in my score: 3.0*.

This movie exceeded all of my expectations. From the stunning visuals to the captivating new but familiar plot, this movie truly has it all.
The underwater scenes were absolutely gorgeous, and the clothes, hair, makeup, and places were incredibly well done. It truly felt like I was transported into that magical world.
I was particularly impressed with the way the directors were able to modernize the story while still staying somewhat true to the original. Even though I lowkey missed some parts from the animated version, I absolutely enjoyed and loved the new additions here. And its commitment to diversity. The cast is refreshingly diverse, featuring actors from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds. This not only adds an important element of representation to the film but also makes the story feel more authentic and inclusive.
And of course, I have to give a special shoutout to Halle Bailey's singing voice. She absolutely nailed every song in the movie, bringing a fresh and modern take to some classic tunes. Her voice is so ethereal. Her rendition of "Part of Your World" and even her version of "Vanessa's Trick" gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes.
Overall, I would highly recommend The Little Mermaid to anyone looking for a new, visually stunning, engaging, and diverse movie that will capture your heart from beginning to end.
Diversity and inclusion are never bad when done properly, it doesn't affect the plot or character here, different versions can exist, and we can choose our favorite and ignore the others.

Best Live Action! It's not 100% like the animated version, and that's okay! This is new, fresh, diverse and magical! Halle's voice is perfect for Ariel, she's so adorable and embodies the character perfectly. I loved the setting, the display of the culture, makes way more sense for the movie! This is also a great gift for all those black/brown girls that didn't have the chance to see themselves like this before, I can't wait to see if there's a sequel and what's going to happen!!
