#TheLittleMermaid<\/a> is a live-action remake that retains the heart and soul of the story we know and love, and it\u2019s elevated even further by a note-perfect star-making performance from Halle Bailey \u2013 she was born to be on the big screen, & she\u2019s why this new take is worth watching. pic.twitter.com\/Tcewp2L4MY<\/a><\/p>\n

Disney\u2019s #TheLittleMermaid<\/a> is definitely one of the better live-action adaptions. Halle Bailey pours incredible emotion into Ariel and I got chills watching her, while Melissa McCarthy\u2019s Ursula and Daveed Diggs\u2019 Sebastian steal scenes all day. pic.twitter.com\/DHhIkbIj8s<\/a><\/p>\n

#TheLittleMermaid<\/a>: Charming, but incredibly spotty. Halle Bailey, Jonah Hauer-King, Melissa McCarthy & Javier Bardem put their heart & souls into a film that can\u2019t escape its animated legacy. Best when it leans into campy bonkers, yet limits its fantasy elements for no reason. pic.twitter.com\/c7Bt2BO5rq<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s real simple. Are you excited for #TheLittleMermaid<\/a>? You\u2019ll like it. It\u2019s exactly what you think it is. Are you skeptical and worried about it? That\u2019s valid too. It looks weird and disjointed. Bailey is great, McCarthy rules, the songs work but it just feels so unnecessary. pic.twitter.com\/n4qp7MsVFH<\/a><\/p>\n

Endearing but uneven, #TheLittleMermaid<\/a> doesn\u2019t deliver the magic of the animated classic but there are plenty of creative touches from Rob Marshall to float the audience\u2019s boats. Halle Bailey and Melissa McCarthy are great. Daveed Diggs and Awkwafina provide solid comic relief. pic.twitter.com\/kt1pVURZiL<\/a><\/p>\n

It may look visually rough under the sea, but THE LITTLE MERMAID eventually recreates some of the original\u2019s magic through its timeless story & cast. Daveed Diggs & Melissa McCarthy are highlights but Halle Bailey is the one astonishes with her gorgeous singing & empathetic charm pic.twitter.com\/DhmmtOLaLJ<\/a><\/p>\n

#TheLittleMermaid<\/a> makes it pretty close to being the best live action Disney movie, however it still struggles in the villain department. Halle Bailey IS Ariel and I had literal chills throughout her performance. This is a little mermaid retelling like you\u2019ve never seen before. pic.twitter.com\/JjtLOR61vL<\/a><\/p>\n

#TheLittleMermaid<\/a> 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\u2019s Under the Sea all day, it was the highlight of the whole thing.<\/p>\n

#TheLittleMermaid<\/a> is FANTASTIC! Rob Marshall\u2019s great direction gives us one of Disney\u2019s best live-action remakes and a joyful theatrical experience. @HalleBailey<\/a> is PERFECT as #Ariel<\/a> and is the heart of the movie. It\u2019s an ENCHANTING journey under the sea I can\u2019t wait to rewatch! pic.twitter.com\/rqdsHtbg3t<\/a><\/p>\n
