ดูหนังออนไลน์ is here, and critics are finally able to share their reactions before this aquatic adventure hits theater screens worldwide. The retelling of this beloved animated classic sees a whole new cast take on this below-the-sea blockbuster, including Halle Bailey playing the titular mermaid, Ariel. However, not all will be exactly as it was back when
The Little Mermaid originally came to theaters in 1989, with some notable changes being made to modernize the film. Early feedback on the movie has been mostly positive with test screenings reportedly calling Bailey
"wonderful" in the film's star. First Reactions to The Little MermaidThe first reactions from critics of
The Little Mermaid have been made public after the film's Hollywood premiere. Kirsten Acuna from Insider called the live-action remake
"mostly paint-by-numbers" highlighted by
"a few great performances:""'The Little Mermaid' is filled with a few great performances from Halle Bailey and Melissa McCarthy, but it's a mostly paint-by-numbers remake that's isn't as good as the animated masterpiece."Film critic Courtney Howard shared a similar sentiment, noting the film is
"charming," but
"incredibly spotty:" "'The Little Mermaid': Charming, but incredibly spotty. Halle Bailey, Jonah Hauer-King, Melissa McCarthy & Javier Bardem put their heart & souls into a film that can’t escape its animated legacy. Best when it leans into campy bonkers, yet limits its fantasy elements for no reason."The film is
"endearing but uneven" according to Simon Thompson: "Endearing but uneven, 'The Little Mermaid' doesn’t deliver the magic of the animated classic but there are plenty of creative touches from Rob Marshall to float the audience’s boats. Halle Bailey and Melissa McCarthy are great. Daveed Diggs and Awkwafina provide solid comic relief."The Direct's very own Gillian Blum was a little more positive, heralding it as the
"best Disney live-action adaptation to date:" "'The Little Mermaid' is the best Disney live-action adaptation to date. Halle Bailey IS Ariel. Major props to the sound effects team. Good changes, though one new song with too much autotune. Could watch this version’s 'Under the Sea' all day, it was the highlight of the whole thing."Zoe Rose Bryant from We Live Entertainment remarked that the remake
"retains the heart and soul of the story we know and love" and is
"elevated even further by a note-perfect star-making performance from Halle Bailey:""'The Little Mermaid' is a live-action remake that retains the heart and soul of the story we know and love, and it’s elevated even further by a note-perfect star-making performance from Halle Bailey - she was born to be on the big screen, & she’s why this new take is worth watching."
