Been generous, the movie could have been a 6, but I have to take into account what came before. Ursula was plain awful with her singing, looked like it was a voice over and she was clueless on what was going on in the scene. The think that disgusted me the most was how out of tune the old songs were, and it's a shame because Halle has a great voice, but time and time again she was out of tune with the music.

I think there are three new songs, the Halle Bailey one was good and original, the others quite meh. The controls are somewhat clunky at times, but after eight hours of gameplay I’m nowhere near bored. The graphics are good and the sound design and music is deeply unsettling. Some scenes from the original are gone and some others are added. The Maiden of Black Water is atmospheric, intense, emotionally involving, and the themes of suicide and grief are dark and disturbing without being treated trashily. The story is basically the same but stretched. Ursula is bad, fails to make the character her own and just copies the original but badly. Eric is ok too as well as Bardem as Triton.

Halle Bailey doesn't do it bad as Ariel, her acting is ok and she has a great voice. The movie tries too hard to be what it is not, it would have worked way better as a new original story even if it was based on the same tale. The original 1989 movie was one of my favorites as a child although I enjoyed more Aladdin and the lion king.
