Almost Perfect!

On the review website’s audience section, the recently released film received an impressive 95%.

The film debuted in theaters on May 26 and has already made close to USD $200 million (AUD $306 million) at the box office.

The film is a reimagining of Disney’s animated classic and features Halle Bailey in the lead role of Ariel. Rob Marshall is directing the movie, and it is expected to include both beloved songs from the original film and new compositions by Alan Menken and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

In addition, viewers adore it, with the movie receiving the highest fan rating for a Disney live-action adaptation to date, beating out Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin, which had a 57% rating.

One to Beat

Additionally, it defeated 2016’s The Jungle Book, which has an audience score of 86 percent, Kenneth Branagh’s Cinderella, which has a score of 78%, and Mulan, which has a score of 47%.

It happens after the Disney movie was the focus of review bombing, which was mostly organized by online trolls and occurred in nations like France, Germany, and Korea.

Even AlloCiné in France released a statement last week, disclosing that the movie had gotten a “unusual” amount of negative reviews and advising moviegoers to form their own opinions.

“We are currently observing an unusual distribution of scores which demands the need for caution. We encourage you to make up your own mind about the film,” they wrote.

The following notice was also released by IMBD for its websites in the US, Canada, Brazil, and Mexico: “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.”

It added: “Although we accept and consider all votes received by users, not all votes have the same impact (or ‘weight’) on the final rating.

“When unusual voting activity is detected, an alternate weighting calculation may be applied in order to preserve the reliability of our system.”

Really The One

Since it was revealed that Halle Bailey had been chosen to play the most recognizable mermaid in the world in 2019, The Little Mermaid has faced a lot of criticism.

Fans even used the current hashtag #NotMyAriel to tweet about the casting announcement.

Even yet, The Guardian‘s Ellen E. Jones praised the 23-year-old for her portrayal, calling her “about as naturally Disneyfied as real human beings get.”

“Bailey is both the finished film’s only unmitigated triumph and the best argument for this whole live-action remake enterprise in one shimmering mermaidcore package,” she added.

“If these films are to have any purpose beyond being nostalgia-powered cash-ins, it must be to allow all children – not just the white ones – to see themselves as Magic Kingdom denizens.”
