Hollywood Remake Remake In Hollywood Best Comedy 2 Guns Born To Race Born 2 Race
Awesome!!! Hilarious!!! Bloody!!!
Alexandre Aja has, with Piranha, managed to make something that skirts the line between parody and horror, without really straying too much into either camp. A perfect blend of comedy and horror…
…and boobies.
It's just a whole hell of a lot of fun!!!!
I watched this again, with my father, in preparation to see The Meg, 'cause I was worried hearing reports the upcoming film was neutered of it's blood soaked glory. I wanted to compensate any blue balls I thought I would have by first drowning myself in wild girls tits and ripped apart penises before inevitable disappointment. I think Piranha loses some of it's enjoyment on repeat viewings, but there's enough over the top fun and classic b-movie antics to keep all horror fans satisfied. It's crazy to see such a crass and low brow endeavor like this film get critical acclaim from critics. The effects aren't the greatest, the story is childish, but the greatest attribute it boasts I proudly agree with is it doesn't hold back. This is a clear cut modern example of not taking yourself seriously, just having fun with your premise. You want to see an entire lake of spring breakers get ripped to fucking shreds with blood and gore everywhere? You will most definitely get it and more. You want to see Christopher Lloyd briefly reprise his role as Doc Brown raving about the piranhas? You got it. Want to see Eli Roth get his head cut off? You bet your ass you'll get it. Want Adam Scott to shoot piranhas with a shotgun while riding a jet ski? It's here, baby. How about tearing the shit out of them with a boat propeller detached like a chainsaw? I'll stop spoiling the fun. It's a crazy match made in heaven, few "don't take yourself seriously" films like Sharknado hit that very specific sweet spot that makes the film fun as hell to watch, but not in a laughing at it bad way. Piranha 3D is the very rare gore fest that knows how to have loads of genuine summer fun; a return to 80's exploitation.
It's just bad. So annoyingly bad.
this was horror done in the style of late 80s horror movies. they were going for laughs, not scares.. it amused me.
Such a shame that this was so weak....pathetic attempt at a horror
I'm with you Sean, I really think they hit the mark they were aiming for. I missed it at the cinema and regret it because the 3D money shots looked like they would have been cool. I watched it with a couple of friends and had a laugh over a few beers. I watched it again with my teenage kids and it still hit all the same marks for them, so it wasn't the beer :)
Jerry O'Connell played it perfectly; a total a-hole who meets the most perfect demise for him I don't think that is a spoiler as the moment he opens his mouth for the first time you are just counting down the minutes until he bites it.
Ving Rhame's has a classic moment that shows he's all that is man.
A nice genre nod at the beginning too.
The obligitory gratuitous nudity scene was inspired, as its balletic nature nearly stops the film dead and serves it to you on a platter. If you are going to tick the box, tick it well.
The characters are all one dimensional and I never expected more, it's all about the deaths. Some of them reached laughter at WTF?! levels and required a rewind to appreciate the set up and for those so inclided the work of the FX/Makeup crew.
So, is it great? Wow, not by a long shot.
Is it fun? With a group of friends sure, on your own maybe not quite as much. You just have to put your brain in neutral.
This is a f***ing comedy movie. A great comedy movie indeed.
The more friends you have watching this with you, the better it'll be.
This is where they kill the fish with a shotgun and whatnot...
"Excuse me, but is that a fucking piranha?>
A simple cash grab that turned out to be pretty hilarious. I am a Jerry O'Connell fan and while they heavily rely on cheap looking CGI fish and summer nudity, it is still an entertaining flick.
Hold Da Fuck Up Rotten Tomatoes gave this a higher score than The First Transformers WOW!!!!!
I liked a lot. A bit bloody (too bloody) but very good.
one of the shittiest movies ever. but there are a shitload of tits
It's a good over average budget B-Movie. Not much can be said, but that this movie pulled off a good film to watch with friends, as this would not be as entertaining alone. But for a spoof of itself and on other "teen gorey monster" movies, it's pretty good. Though boring in some spots.
Watch with friends otherwise, you might get turned off by annoying characters or the too simple plot and unbelievability of it all. But with friends, it's good for a laugh and just a good time.
ich fand den film hmmermäßig horror remake mit 80er flair... gute effekte (außer am anfang)... ^^
geile hd titten und muschis die im wasser schwimmen... was will man mehr?!

A cheesy b grade movie done to perfection.. loved it !
The movie is what it is, described below. An 80's throwback that suceeds. It was worhty of the watercooler discussion in the office the following day.
