Dull and unimaginative, there is no reason why this latest live-action remake, about a stupid mermaid, should be watched.
For what it’s worth, I did try my best. I made an effort not to be that man. I made an effort not to be a snobby downer. Curmudgeonly reviewer in the vein of Anton Ego criticises a kid-friendly film for lacking substance or originality. The most recent derivative live-action remake of a Disney animation classic was something I tried to approach with an open mind, looking for the fun and promise while also giving credit where it may have been due. When we are exposed to the most uninteresting undersea environment we have ever encountered, I fought to resist the urge to become jaded (forget Finding Nemo; this movie makes Aquaman appear like a feast of imagination). I made an effort to suppress my inner cynic by using the punchable doorknob characters, exceptional colour aversion.
