Are you planning on seeing this? - The Little Mermaid (2023) Discussion

Absolutely. It looks visually stunning if nothing else, but from what I've heard so far from the trailers, Halle Bailey sounds really good.

I am in love with the way the mermaids' tails look.

Adults who are fans of the original might be interested in this. Also, adults who are fans of someone in the cast might want to see it. It's not just for children.

No, but I'm an almost 55-year-old guy without children. No version of "The Little Mermaid" is of interest to me.

What about a version with nudity and the mermaid dying then turning to sea foam after refusing the murder the prince in his sleep?

That might be mildly interesting.

I got the uncut version. I thought the dialog was boring; possibly due to the translation from Japanese to English. The 1989 version was better even though it was changed for a milder rating.

Not a chance.

no I saw the photos with the big height discrepancy--awkward. If they wanted a black actress they could have cast a taller one. This looks like he's dating a kid. Yuk

Fuck no. Delete this, Allaby.

Why? It's a remake of a popular film from my childhood. It looks like it is going to have great visuals and wonderful music. I think it could be a big hit.

No, because all the Disney live-action remakes have sucked.

reply

[–] [deleted] a year ago

I liked a few of them.

you like shit movies then

reply

[–] [deleted] a year ago

Sometimes, yes. Film is subjective.

[–] Otter (24464) a year ago

Shit remakes of great movies aren't just a waste of time, I find their existence offensive!

No more of these shitshows for me, and I've got Disney Plus so I don't have to pay extra for them.

Yet, still paying for Disney. lmao

It's my money, dude! I can easily afford the channel, and if all I want to with my subscription is watch the stupid Thor movies over and over, it's money well spent.
