Rob Marshall's new live action Little Mermaid was a film my daughter and I were extremely excited for, in spite of the excessive runtime. Sadly this ended up being by far the worst live action Disney production I have seen in the modern era. I am deeply saddened to say Halle Bailey just didn't capture the charm of the Ariel character, and the chemistry was nonexistent with her co stars.
Disney has been declining in quality for quite some time, but I really had high hopes, as I love this story, and the animated film so much. Obviously some will still find something to enjoy, but I highly recommend you at least wait for streaming on this one. Over two and a half hours for young children is way too much to sit through, and adults are going to have a rough experience making it through the whole movie.
