Featured review
An insult to the orignal
This movie just wasn't good... They added something like 50 minutes but it didn't improve the movie one it, it only made it drag on.
The CGI is poorly done and the tone of the film is dark and gloomy, not bright and colorful as it should be.
The animal characters look terrible. The changes to the songs are ridiculous, the original lyrics weren't problematic in the slightest.
Scuttle's voice is really jarring and the added song is just bad.
The changes made to the ending make the story worse, not better. They didn't need to make Eric weaker to build up Ariel.
The best thing about the movie was Ursula. At least they didn't ruin her.
