i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
View MoreI enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
View MoreIt sucks to be a mermaid fan. Finding a live-action movie dealing with mermaids is difficult. Here's one that has *three* mermaids, and is online for free, in decent quality. So what if the plot is a pile of clichés and the acting isn't great? I can dig it. But I can't dig these mermaids. Twice I tried to watch this movie and I couldn't. I try to avoid using the word "prep" at all costs, being that I'm almost 30 years old. But I can think of no other word to describe these "mermaids." Never mind that they seem too human-- plenty of tongue-in-cheek fantasy movies do that. I don't care if they're kind of vein or valley-girl-like; Aquamarine was that way and I liked her. But these mermaids transcend that. They aren't preppy in a forgivable, fictional way; these actresses literally say their lines like they have no idea what they're actually saying, and are on the verge of unleashing the typical rehearsed-preppy-girl- laugh at how "dumb" this script is. "Like, OMG mermaids? like that's so weird, Britney! Well, like, Lauren, like, I did kind of like Ariel as a kid. Oh my god let's comb our hair with forks! T'HEHEHEHEHEHEHHEE omygod...no, I'd never really do that, that'd be so weird. Hehe (slowly brushes streaked hair out of face). Let's go to the mall later on. Great directing decision there. This is absolutely the type of person that the typical fantasy fan will relate to and want to watch for an hour and a half.This movie is a cruel taunt to mermaid fans. Fittingly, the movie itself is like the sirens of old; luring you in with the thing you're desperate for, only to deliver your worst nightmare. No matter how much you love mermaids, this just isn't worth it. All you'll find are obnoxious Barbies with fish tails. That's it.
View MoreBrilliant film, love to watch this with friends on a night in. Such a good movie with a good strong story line with lots of development on the characters, you feel as if you know the character in the first twenty minutes and feel as you can relate with sibling rivalry. This movie blows me way every time with moments when you can't believe something has happened to when you get that strange happy feeling. Like nearly everyone has said in the reviews so far, can't believe this has not become a television series. Would recommend this to anyone if they are into mystical and magical movies just like this. One of my favorite movies.
View MoreI am an elderly man (who still likes cute romantic movies).My only complaint with "Mermaids 2003" is that it has NOT come out on DVD yet so that I can purchase a copy for my 9 yr old gr-dau who also likes mermaid movies. I would approve and promote this this movie to any parent. Its perfect for FAMILY viewing and entertainment. And I agree with a previous comment that it is too bad that this movie never made it to a series production, which only proves a lot of GARBAGE is acceptable over good family themes. OKEY, thats my soapbox of the day, except that I would truly enjoy a sequel!!!If the movie "Memaids 2003" is going to be released on DVD, how can I be placed on a mailing list or notified of its availability? I really would like a copy because for anyone looking for good, clean, and very enjoyable entertainment to watch with their children, THIS IS IT!!!
View MoreI liked this movie so much I believe that it should be a TV series. Three beautiful young mermaids who have the ability to have legs while they're dry and havetails when they're wet (an idea seen in the movie 'Splash' 1984). I loved the way these three mermaids had magical powers. Diana the oldest (and wisest of the three) has this hair clip which can transform into a powerful pitch-fork which can cut through anything. Diana also has super-strength. Venus has the power to hypnotize men, and seduce them into doing anything she wants. She can also make men lose their memory.June has this magical mirror which allows her to have visions, i.e. allows her to see things that are happening else where.There was also one other thing all these mermaids were capable of: making a high pitched scream which can shatter glass. These mermaids refer to humans as "mortals". Their only weakness is that if a "mortal" makes a wish to them, these mermaids would have to grant the wish. These three mermaids from the start of the film have chosen three different paths in life. Diana has chosen to live in the sea with her father, while Venus and June have both chosen to live on land with humans. Venus works as an "aquatic dancer" in a restaurant and June works as a staff member in an aquarium. So all three have gone separate ways until their father is murdered by an unscrupulous fisherman. All three sisters reunite to bring their father's killer to justice. But their reunion doesn't go smoothly they have a number of disputes with each other but soon learn to resolve them. So to me this film is like a soap opera, comedy and fantasy all combined into one film. This is a very beautiful and enjoyable film and I very much recommend it!
