La Petite Sirène

Some of the actors were not bad others were horrible, fight scenes were very laughable. Plot was redundant and it got very boring for the last half of the movie. I think giving it a 5 was being very nice.

So many ignorant people here who don't realise that Disney did not create The Little Mermaid. In actual fact, it's a fairy tale written in 1835 by Hans Christian Andersen. Whilst I agree that this movie has some very bad acting and is a bit slow paced, it's a good story, fairly close to the original story and overall I enjoyed it

As an adult, I expected more. I knew this wasn't like the original story but the title little mermaid isn't right. They should have called it something else like the curse of the mermaid.. I do believe kids will like te movie and thats why I gave it 5 stars.

So there are a ton of reviews trashing this movie because they're coming from adults who (like me) grew up with Disney's Little Mermaid and have been waiting for the "real people" version of that movie to come out. But this movie is not meant to be a remake of Disney's Little Mermaid, it's meant to be a twist on that story. (I also think it's kind of hysterical the people saying the fight scenes were boring and didn't look real; it's the effin Little Mermaid, if you were looking for decent action scenes, you're an idiot.) Don't have expectations when you watch this movie; I'm not saying that in the sense you'll be disappointed, I'm saying that because this isn't Disney, and it's not "the" remake we've been waiting for; that'll come out eventually. This a children's movie based loosely off of the original, and I actually think it's good. It's not necessarily a movie I would watch again, but not because it sucked, just because it's a little too calm for me. And I think that's exactly what's good about it. This is exactly the type of movie I would put on while babysitting. It's sweet, it's clean, the love between Cam and Elle is inspiring, and the fighting scenes aren't intense at all.

@EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE MOVIE: Well done, truly. You somehow got the green light to produce a movie in the 21st Century without violence, without sex, without hidden innuendos (as EVERY kid's movie has nowadays). Try not to let the haters bother you. Darkness will always try to choke out the light.

I felt that the story was good, it was an interesting perspective on the little mermaid, however there's masses of room for improvement. There were a few half-decent actors but the acting was pretty bad overall. The score/music was very basic and repetitive, the editing wasn't great - the film didn't really flow properly - and the script included many cringe-worthy lines. It's what you'd expect from a low-budget film like this one, but if this was done better I think it could have been a really good movie.
