Konterr Brilliant and touching
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
pcgneurotic In comparison to the 2010 remake starring Elizabeth Shue, this is a very different beast. That film was an earnest effort. For better or for worse, the 2010 Piranha, for all its flaws and moments of greatness, was a reasonably taut, thrilling story. You could play it with Lake Placid and Anaconda, and have a trio of aquatic monster flicks that took themselves reasonably seriously, and were all the better for it.But Piranha 3DD makes a seriously jarring tonal change into frat-boy, gross-out farce. I won't spoil any of the gags here for the sake of making my point, but man, are they ever base. No class at all. This is a YouTube 'funny' pranks video-with-horror that veers from moment to moment between trying to carry on the story of the 2010 remake, and being a 'Haw-haw! Ya spilled yer popcorn ya big dummy!' face-palmer. The surprise-star cameo opener that apes the clever Richard Dreyfus turn in the previous film here becomes a fart joke (literally), and what would have also been a cool David Hasselhoff cameo in the 2010 film is here a long, drawn-out squeezing of many old, old jokes. (The Hoff is still brilliant though). Happily, Christopher Lloyd returns to push the plot forwards a wee bit, and is just as brilliant as he is in everything he does.But perhaps nowhere is the confusing clash of directions in Piranha 3DD more evident than in the casting of Danielle Panabaker -- she's so good in all of her scenes that her very presence gives the lie to the film's real intentions. It's like watching an actor's performance in one film being CGI'd into something else entirely, and one can easily imagine that she was pitched this role as being something totally different to what was actually made around her. Ving Rhames, reprising his part from the previous film, also heavily gives the lie to the whole film, with his character being firmly shoved into the realm of comedy nonsense. And again, for those of you who enjoyed the 2010 Piranha, his characterisation here makes no sense.In short, although Piranha 3DD is billed as a "horror comedy", and although one really shouldn't be surprised by a film that uses a comedy bra size joke in its title, I personally found it to be a huge disappointment as a follow-up to the previous entry in the series, and a film that even in its own right is a confused, rambling mess.
jacobjohntaylor1 Do not see this movie. It is one of the worst movies ever. Piranha 3D is an awful movie. And this is worst. The story line in this movie is awful. The ending is awful. It is not scary. It is just really gross. It will not scary you. It will gross you out. 3.8 is not a good rating. But this is such an awful movie 3.8 is overrating it. The actors in this movie are good. There wasted there time being this movie. Do not waste your time. Do not waste your money. Do not see this awful movie. The man who wrote Dracula 2000 wrote this awful movie. He can do a lot better if he wants to. Do not see this movie. It is one of the worst horror movies ever. You have been warned.
bent-mathiesen OK, I never saw the first movie, but I guess it has to be better.As every gore movie, the teenagers just think too much about having fun, as in drinking, sex. And the bad guys just think about money and get the show running (to make more money). And no officials that prevent disasters - they are always not existing.Pro: So what do we have that some like, and can add to list - nudity - bitten of penis head, piranha in the vagina, piranha in the butt. - for those who like gore, plenty. - the bad guys die, the good guys survive. - A few funny scenesCons: - bad acting, very little logic if any. - gore/scary scenes: The first scenes are 'tense' - then after half way it just gets ridiculously bad.It is what is is, a bad b movie with plenty of gore.
xsophietaylorx This film is absolutely terrible an abomination. I can't even remember half of it, somehow David Hasselhoff got dragged into this film and his unfunny weird character. The film begins dull and un humorous with the extremely un funny cow scene, which just ends up making you feel queasy. It's hard to even write a review on this film because it is literally that bad there is no plot at all, the film is just sex and gore. I can honestly say I never laughed once not even a small chuckle or a smile I sat almost angry that I had actually even given this film hope to be OK. It's so boring to watch and you are just waiting for it to end. Probably up there with the worse film I've ever watched in my whole entire life I can name probably ten horrible things I'd rather do then sit through this film it's an embarrassment for the cast and anyone else involved in it
