The Little Mermaid (2023)
It fails to deliver
The Little Mermaid" attempts to bring the beloved fairy tale to life, but unfortunately, it falls short due to a casting debacle and a lack of innovation. The film's choice of actors seems misguided, as their performances fail to capture the essence of the characters. This poor casting decision becomes a major distraction, hindering any chance of genuine emotional connection.
Regrettably, the movie offers nothing fresh or engaging for both longtime fans and newcomers. It adheres too closely to the original source material without adding any modern twists or creative reinterpretations. Consequently, the narrative feels stale and predictable, robbing the story of its potential impact.
While the visuals are technically sound, they can't compensate for the film's lackluster script and uninspired direction. The underwater world, which should have been a breathtaking spectacle, is rendered without a sense of wonder. Even the musical numbers, often a highlight in fairy tale adaptations, fail to ignite the screen with the necessary magic.
Ultimately, "The Little Mermaid" becomes a tedious watch. The runtime drags on as the plot trudges along a path that audiences are all too familiar with. The lack of innovation and the poorly executed casting choice result in a movie that struggles to keep viewers engaged. For a tale that has enchanted generations, this rendition is a missed opportunity, leaving audiences disappointed and questioning the need for yet another retelling. Save yourself the time and skip this forgettable adaptation.
Mission Mangal (2019)
Could have been so much better
Absolutely amazing story and a plot that has all elements of making of a great film. However, we just can't seem to come out of our song and dance routines. Who needs that in a film based on facts which are still fresh in people's mind. All the while watching the movie, all I could think was what a waste of a good story. Not sure who the target viewers here but surely it could have been so much better. What a waste of a great plot. Disappointed!
