are the rave reviews here with us in the room?

 

Considering we've just had pages and pages of outright raves, there was absolutely no need for you to come in here and embarrass yourself like this. We get it, you want the film to fail. Sadly for you, the reviews and early box office tracking seem to be showing the direct opposite. Get on board or get out of the way.

im so scared for the reviews and performance. i have a feeling it's gonna be luckwarm

The Lion King’ Praised in First Reactions: ‘It’s Going to Change How We Look at Movies Forever’

you alredy have reactions that just tell plain and simple this movie is mediocre. But as you said...rave reviews.

I’m leaning towards an Aladdin scenario, mid critical reaction, but a big crowd pleaser leading to box office glory. 
 

Most of these movies (catered towards kids/families) are critic proof anyway. As long as as the general audience loves it (they will), it’ll be big.  I remember a few weeks ago people were all gloom and doom over Mario’s negative critical reception and it ended up being absolutely massive.

 

Halle is getting nothing but praise tho which is what I care about, personally. I knew she would kill it.

So you do believe some of the reactions then?  I guess it's just the ones that support your narrative. Shocker.

The way the same users who've been underestimating/hating on this film from the beginning ran in here to move the goalposts yet again. 

 

First, it would get panned by critics, that failed. Then it would bomb, only for it to be revealed to be tracking to be the biggest Memorial Day weekend ever 

 

It's okay to admit you were wrong about predicting the WORST of the worse about this film. To continue downplaying it at every turn atp is just... 

[Arcadius]

Social media reactions are often difficult to trust. But, hopefully it sounds like it’ll have a  tomato score.

The original TLM was my favorite Disney movie. But now that I am grown up I can see that Ariel was a complete idiot. Her father was totally at right for wanting to stop her interactions with humans and the above world especially at age of 16.

 

And not only did she sell her voice and leave her family for just a man she barely knew about but also risked the whole ocean.

 

In this remake they are changing this though.

That wasn't the story in the original. 

Please re-watch the OG Part Of Your World.

Some users are determined for this movie to fail, I truly wonder why

Ariel is nothing but a half fish skank who left her family for some common diq. Easily the worst princess. 

 

Halle is amazing though I am a fan of hers so that's why I will watch the movie.

[Price of Fame]

sounds like the GP will like it while the purists/cynical/film twitter types will hate it

 

so basically exactly as expected

Ariel wanted to be a human long before she met Eric.  I swear people just completely forget the actual narrative of the film and get swept up in these social media think pieces.

Even those who didn’t love it still had positive things to say!

Exactly. 

She does fall in love with the Prince a little too hard over him being basically being a hot human. I wish they invested a little time in him being a good person too. He does risk his life to save his dog but still wanted a little more there to justify her falling so hard.

More TV Spots

Some toys from McDonald's Happy Meal

Yas at the acclaim  I knew everything would go the right way. 

 

--

There is no need to include extra scenes to show Ariel's obsession with the above world. She literally has an entire cavern full of human items

Notice how none of the reviews mentions the movie being dark or dull.

 

What I like most about this movie is how it taught people the concept of a promo rollout. And that underwater caves are dark at night.

[Thinking Of You]

There’s too much acclaim on social media to keep up. But even the very few mixed reviews, they are still praising Halle’s performance to the high heavens.

 

In conclusion, she won and racists lost.

Yeah and Snow White broke into a house that didnt belong to her, Alice followed a Rabbit and didnt even thought "omg a rabbit hey Tove Lo you got drugs?", Cinderella agreed to be a slave to her family, Belle fell in love with a Beast.... 

 

This is so sad looking at all thoses stories with adult glasses   Even children knows they don't represent the reality...

None of those are as extreme as the Ariel's choice.
