So originally, I was expecting a whimsical movie far more innocent than what I received. I anticipated a quirky girl viewing life differently. I didn't realise this movie was rated 18, and I saw warnings of nudity flash up before it started. I'm giving this film 3 stars because it wasn't what I expected, and it's not really my type of movie. There were far too many "intimate" scenes, maybe around 10 it felt like? Don't get me wrong, sometimes such scenes are crucial for the story, but at some point, it felt like I was watching an adult film. It’s especially uncomfortable when you realise that Bella has the brain of a child! The actual story was pretty interesting, although I wished they took it in a different direction at times as it did drag. When Bella started selling her body to men I wish instead she tried out different careers alongside. The filmmaking itself was excellent, the cinematography and dialogue were astounding but unfortunately, I just didn't enjoy the film as much as I originally hoped.

Watched the film tonight, and honestly, I was really disappointed. The film is painfully average and forgettable. The idea about the premise of the wishes is really cute and original, but that's about it. Everything else about the movie is an overused trope. The talking goat added absolutely nothing to the story and was so annoying! They should've just taken him out of the movie entirely and just used the star; that would've been less irritating! Also, why the hell did they not go into the villain's backstory? That was like the most interesting premise about the movie that they completely bypassed! The side characters were mere replicas of the 7 dwarfs. I don't quite understand the reasoning behind it; I know it's an anniversary movie, but that choice felt rather lazy. Very disappointing, Disney; please don't be afraid to try new things instead of playing it safe all the time.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Initially, I was hesitant due to my fondness for the original and my general dislike for Disney's live-action remakes. I was also unsure about the new additions, but despite my doubts, I quickly became engrossed in the film. Halle Bailey, the main actress, delivered a phenomenal performance! Her voice is incredible, and I couldn't have imagined a better casting choice for the role of the Little Mermaid. Her singing gave me literal goosebumps! Regarding the live adaptation of Flounder and Sebastian, I don't think they were as bad as some people claim. After all, they are supposed to resemble real fish. I found myself disagreeing with other people's reviews and wondering if they watched the same movie as I did! I encourage you not to be discouraged by negative rants about the movie. From the perspective of a fan of the original and mermaids in general, I can say that it was a wonderful experience.

This is the most boring film ever

It’s really funny seeing Steve Harrington as a degenerate. Found the concept quite interesting and enjoyed the entire movie! It was quite funny watching the generic annoying customers get killed alongside the Ricegum rip off. Fun goofy horror!

Good horror film, leaves you questioning your morals and has great twists and turns! Definitely a solid horror film! Doesn’t really make sense in some parts though, like the villages said nobody ever leaves the mountain alive but the guy got caught in the deer trap and dragged into the hole, then he was strung up by his legs and was going to be taken down the mountain to be dropped off neatly? That doesn’t make any sense. The Foundation don’t just let people free!

Watched this film when I was 10 and very much enjoyed it 🐊
