O Live Action mais esquecido, e não é atoa, pois é um grande fracasso, entediante e horrível, os efeitos visuais são horrorosos.

I'm not sure why this movie is so poorly rated. I thought that it was excellent! Well acted and just a great overall movie. I definitely can recommend it!

I found this film quite by accident, but I must say that it is a refreshing palate cleanser after watching Disney's disastrous 2023 live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. It's not perfect but this film feels far more like what Disney's should have been. The story is original and interesting, finding a wonderful balance between the original Hans Christian Anderson tale and a more modern spin. The acting is on point for the most part and the special effects are wonderfully done. It can get a little cheesy at some points, but not enough to throw off the viewer. As a whole, this film is excellent and a much better alternative to the 2023 Disney film. I'd certainly recommend giving it a watch.

My 9 year old described it at the end as "disappointing" - after I sat through it because I thought she at least was having a good time watching it. I found myself quietly hating it with a passion. The sound was distracting badly designed, the story unengaging saccharine, the effects were lame, camera and direction ameatur. Save yourself some time and do not watch it.

Creaky visual effects, slapdash plotting and a script drunk on cliché: There's pretty much nothing but cheap parlor trickery here.

There are likely enough sweet, effective moments to engage kids and their parents looking for a safe escape.

Devoid of social or political undercurrents and untethered from recognizable reality...

Without Drayton, The Little Mermaid would flounder completely. At least she brings enough energy, life and charm to the role that the grade for this movie sounds like a trip on the ocean. It's somewhere in the high Cs.

Rated: 2.5/4
