What are people saying about ‘The Little Mermaid’?

Now that The Little Mermaid has opened in theaters nationwide, reviews are rolling in from critics and viewers alike.

Not surprisingly, reactions are mixed, with some Twitter users gushing with adoration for the film, while others aren’t impressed. “Good God The Little Mermaid movie is terrible,” one nonplussed person tweeted.

The New York Times reviewed the buzzy picture and wrote, “It reeks of obligation and noble intentions. Joy, fun, mystery, risk, flavor, kink — they’re missing.”

NPR‘s take was that The Little Mermaid “is not that bad … but also not that good.”

Even if the movie hasn’t made everyone a fan, this latest Disney live-action remake is predicted to rake in $120 million over the 2023 Memorial Day weekend alone — and the Rob Marshall-directed flick could end up being one of the most successful in the genre of all time, behind The Lion King, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast.
