adonis98-743-186503 After the events at Lake Victoria, the pre-historic school of blood- thirsty piranhas make their way into a newly opened waterpark. To be honest i think that the first Piranha film was alright but this? It was retarded and not even in a good way. The film is full of over the top kills that don't even happen by the Piranhas themselves, there's even a scene where a Piranha is stuck inside the @ss of one of the characters, another one has legs and kills a child and a lot i mean a lot of 3D shots of fake big tits running around and screaming. The acting is complete garbage from most of the cast especially David Hasselhoff although some of them do try like The Flash's Danielle Panabaker or even Matt Bush and Christopher Lloyd also the cgi is awful and the overall product of this "film" is a waste of talent, time and money.

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.

jlthornb51 Gifted director John Culager, a film maker who recently brought the triumphant Feast Trilogy to the screen to wide acclaim, now guides the Piranha franchise with a sure hand. Beautifully filmed in 3D and utilizing that technique to its best advantage, this motion picture is really as much a black comedy as a horror film. From the opening sequence to its shattering climax, it is, however, a sensitively observed study in human nature under catastrophic circumstances while never letting up on the thrills and suspense. Returning cast members from previous Piranha entries give wonderful performances and some fresh faces are equally impressive. They all do well with a borderline brilliant script that pushes the envelope of horror while allowing for strong character development. Culager is unafraid and does not flinch from violence and gore but never uses these elements gratuitously. An intelligent and humorous horror film that does not fall into the notorious sequel trap, the genius of Piranha 3D is undeniable and the artists involved in its production deserve recognition.

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.
