Had high hopes for a little mermaid live action. Ever since a kid, I have loved Ariel with my heart. And that never left while growing up. I'm an adult now and I am disappointed that this was the film Disney decided to put out into the world. I expected so much more. CGI was terribly obvious and ruined the movie. And 2 hours?? Come on.... They changed so many things about the film that just wasn't what I knew and loved. I couldn't stand Awkwafina as scuttle, her song was unnecessary and so cringe to me. I'm glad others can see the positive in this movie, as a real fan I just couldn't. I really believe that this live action was a lame and lazy attempt to say that Disney is about representation and inclusivity. Halle Bailey deserved better and us fans did too. Sloppy work done Disney.
