Other than must sees at IMAX
if Tarantino didnt make it, who gives a flying fluckLike any movie, tv show, etc, as long as it’s a good story with good actors, it doesn’t matter what race the characters are.
The Little Mermaid is now portrayed by an African-American actress and with the movie the best! Diversity is wonderful and people might even prefer an African American actress in this role.
The mantra "Go woke go broke" well be challenged here, because if this movie makes a lot of money then it is not always true that woke goes broke.
Well you go watch it or take your kids to watch it?
Even then, I can't see the point. Nor could I see the point of 3D.
I have only seen a single 3D movie since the 1980s, and that was the Deathly Hallows movies. And that was only because the AAFES theater did not charge extra. And just like 3 decades prior, the effect did not impress me. Maybe that's why 3D will always be a fad and never remain for long.
\Which is why traditionally their movies for kids were under 90 minutes. Even Mulan was pushing it at 115 minutes. This thing went on for 135 minutes, which is another common review complaint is the bloat in the story that was not needed.
Guess that's why I haven't gone to see a movie at the theater in at least 15 years, when this POS disney crap is the "best" they got!
How about just admitting it is not all that great of a movie?
Hell, even NPR admits so.
And that in general is what most have been saying. Not needed, bland, not the same movie or magic as the 1989 original.
And why exactly do you think political pandering is more profitable than giving the fans of Little Mermaid what they want?
If they wanted a profitable black princess remake they could have gone with The Princess and The Frog.
Forbes suggests Rotten Tomatoes is not counting negative reviews of the movie, thus the suspiciously high 95% rating from alleged movie goers.

Which is exactly the problem. Because that is all they are churning out anymore, senseless and unneeded remakes.
And I really don't know of anybody "obsessing" that she is black, other than from a story aspect it simply makes no sense. In fact, most of the story simply makes no sense as their casting was all over the board. And yet another remake, like Pinocchio, Lady & The Tramp, Dumbo, Peter Pan, Mulan, and the dozen others in the pipeline for the next few years.
And remakes as a rule tend to have a rather interesting history. Just look at Kite, or Rollerball, Flatliners, Charlie's Angels, Taxi, Point Break, Nightmare on Elm Street, Get Carter, The Mummy, Red Dawn, Godzilla 1998, The Wicker Man, Hellboy 2019, The Pink Panther, The Day the Earth Stood Still,, Chips, I can go on and on and on.
Remakes in general have really only done alright when they were relatively low budget affairs. Then when the theatrical run was finished they could sump them to VHS or DVD in the hopes of actually making a profit. However, physical media is now dead, and they are shoveled to streaming services. And when Disney owns the streaming service, that means they are getting no more money.
Remakes in general rarely perform all that well. The early Disney live action did good, because it was a new idea. But now almost a decade into that trend, they are old and boring.
And this can be seen in that they are already starting to hedge their bets. Lilo & Stich was supposed to be released for theaters. But in the wake of the losses in the remakes it is now going straight to D+. Just as Lady & the Tramp, Pinocchio, and Peter Pan. At least some are starting to realize that the remakes are likely not going to make money like they had hoped when they announced them, and I bet half will be cancelled before production starts. And most of the rest will be shoveled to D+.
Now it only remains to be seen if they will actually try to create original content again, or simply dump out more of the same trash.
To be honest, I could not care less what color the mermaid was, or any of the cast. It is just another sign that they have lost all sight of what it is the audience really wants. And it is not message movies that is to be foisted off on either the Right or Left wings. It is supposed to be entertainment that is to entertain the majority of the audience.
Oh, and in case some missed it, a few years ago Disney decided to film a stage production of Hamilton for theatrical release. But that was cancelled for some reason, and it went straight to D+. With little promotion or marketing needed, as it was essentially filler content that only cost them $12 million. At least they did not go the route of Universal, and dump around $250 into the production and marketing of "Cats", only to see it tank with around $75 million in the box office.
Riiiiighhttt. Because how can people not immediately fall in love with an unnecessary remake just to up their ESG score
Coming this summer: The Godfather Reduex

It’s an offer you can’t refuse, unless you’re a hater

Disney relies on the over seas market. And it is tanking there.

IMDb have now overtaken control of the ratings because Little Mermaid got too many low scores.
“Our rating mechanism has detected unusual voting activity on this title. To preserve the reliability of our rating system, an alternate weighting calculation has been applied.”
Considering you woksters had a fit and made them dump the actress Disney hired for Lilo and Stitch because she was too fair skinned I would say…yes.
Kids can't sit still for 2 1/2 hours.
Or it is completely irrelevant.
Doesnt matter if the people are real or not. The double standard exists.
She has an amazing voice.
Sad that so many people will hate her just because of her skin color
