If anything i applaud this movie for portraying mermaids as they should be in lore.

[thecorruptedheart]

I LOVED this scene because it really made the mermaids bad ass and a force to be reckoned with. I loved how they were beautiful and seductive but completely lethal and powerful.

[pepercat]

I love how, as soon as tamara's face submerges, iridescent scales can be seen on her face

[brandonbee]

Gemma Ward portrayed such a captivating mermaid, very mesmerising.

[nscoby]

To this day I haven't seen a movie with a scene so beautifully, frightening, & captivating!

[KatieLeDerp]

As someone who is VERY obsessed with mermaids and sirens, this scene makes me extremely happy. The actresses did an amazing job with the acting. I'm not sure if the tails are CGI, or actual tails, but they look great.

[TwilightAddict]

This scene is perfection. I'm tired of seeing the sweet, innocent mermaids.

[brianakirk]

I love how it looks like they rise out of the water so easily. Makes them look more powerful and elegant.

[SamAceRothstein]

how can people find this scary? i thought it was beautiful. of course you know something bad is going to happen from the start, but the beauty is undeniable regardless.

[MorriganAtwood]

Legit the best part of the movie. They did a great job of showing why men of the time might have been both drawn to/terrified by stories of merfolk.

[johkukoivisto]

Absolutely loved how Zimmer's score was mixed with the singing. Hauntingly beautiful

[DamonFyrian]

This is what I imagine real mermaids would be like.

[Eyeball]

I love the sudden snap from them being beautiful and seductive and resting on the boat to being lethal and frenzied in a split second

[OrthodoxLegion]

The older sailor with the white hair is underappreciated. He didn't fall for any mermaid, he saved Scrum by hitting her in the head and he sliced the flying mermaid in the air! He even survived through the end to serve under Barbossa!

[BrotherWolf]

Scrum just manages to survive the whole attack, when Blackbeard sees him caught in the net Scrum splutters out 'I'm in love'. That is a totally outragous scene, completly funny as hell lol xD

[WebOnion]

This scene had a real sense of fantasy and fear about it. Compared to the usual silliness of Johnny Depp falling 100 feet and getting up unharmed, saying something not even remotely funny, this was one of the best things to happen in the franchise.

Lyrics: 01:09
"My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold,
There is nothing that can console me but my jolly sailor bold.

Come all you pretty fair maids, and whoever you may be
Who love a jolly sailor bold that ploughs the raging sea.

My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold,
There is nothing that can console me but my jolly sailor bold."

[Tarantosaurus]

One thing about this, I'm sure most of us would've liked to see this on the soundtrack.

Even though it's not on there, that's what makes this scene and song so good, The exclusivity and the surreal music in the background just makes it all that more special.

[rz]

come all of you fair maidens
wherever you may dwell
we will take our jolly sailors
and drag them down to hell~

The one saving grace in the otherwise awful On Stranger Tides. I honestly love this scene. It feels like a scene from the original 3 pirates movies.
