I've read two reviews of this movie, and both have said it's really good. I kept waiting for the critics to type "PUNK'D" in all caps, but they neither did. They said it was a fun time.

I still won't see it, but I found the early reviews very interesting.

PIRAHNA 3D REVIEW *MINOR PLOT SPOILERS*


Pirahna 3d is a pile of shit. It is no more than a summer blockbuster sell out to rake in the dough. I do not understand how this movie actually receives good reviews, really says a lot about our society. Poor acting, pathetic storyline, and minimal 3-d effects, considering the fact the movie has “3D” in its fucking name! The beginning of the movie showed some promise to me. I couldn’t stop laughing at the perv-boy who begs the main character to shoot some “wild” films with him. That guy is probably one of the funniest parts of the movie, and his death was hilarious, too. I also laughed when the mom caught her son looking at porn twice, and the kid got pissed off.

The beginning certainly has some funny moments, but unfortunately, the movie does not go anywhere from there. There is a scene with an old professor and a captured piranha in a tank that explains how the piranha is from a prehistoric time period and how they are ultra-violent. That’s about as detailed as the plot ever gets. Unfortunately, even this scene comes off as pretty corny, for some reason I could not stop chuckling at how goofy and cliché it seemed.

The action scenes of the movie consist of the killer fish tearing apart every human in sight. It was kind of badass, but still even the fish came off as super fake, with their GLOWING, red eyes. Seriously? The main theme of this movie is boobs, however. If you do not wish to see lots of bare boobs, please do not invest in Boob, er Pirahna 3D. The main setting is a girls gone wild type environment, with thousands of dumb shit teenagers partying for spring break. The movie takes things to the extreme by combining nudity and gore. Normally, this would not really bother me, but this whole movie was just flat out mindless killing scenes and there was NOTHING intelligent or interesting about it.

The action scenes are entertaining, and funny as hell a lot of times, but very empty and pointless, and often way over-the-top. Boobs on screen are NOT the same as fucking deceased genetelia. However, it was funny when the guy yelled “They took my penis man!” Again, that actor is fucking hilarious. Although the guy generally can’t act for shit, and is probably an asshole in real life too. For example when his legs are almost completely devoured by piranhas, I laughed my ass off at how fake he acted. First of all, you will NOT be conscious when you have lost that much blood (and body parts). Second, he was not even acting like he was in extreme pain; he came off like a fucking retard. Third, he miraculously comes back to life just to mumble about a wet t-shirt contest, HOURS later, and then dies again. What a stupid asshole. Stay dead, please.

So obviously the movie is supposed to be a comedy/horror, or at least I hope those were its intentions. Unfortunately, the poor acting and incredibly stupid and unbelievable scenarios that the characters experienced just completely turned me off of the movie. For example, the “mermaid” scene, where two girls supposedly make out underwater while holding their breath for several minutes at a time. What the hell? And of course, after this scene, there is the incredibly cliché “false alert” moment, where everyone who was on the boat minus the main character “magically” disappears for a minute, then they all show up together all of a sudden. A fucking 10-year old could have seen this coming.

A lot of times, the movie is funny when it is not trying to be, and that’s a big problem in my opinion. Is this supposed to be funny or serious? It’s pretty pathetic when you get the movie’s jokes and serious scenes mixed up and laugh at both of them. Yes, I actually did this. The way the entire crowd ignored the police after they told the kids there was an emergency in the water also come off as pretty unrealistic to me, and just made me want to see the dumb assholes die. So I did enjoy watching those morons suffer. Maybe when the authorities tell you to get out of the water for an emergency, they’re not just doing so to piss you off, perhaps there’s something IN the water?!?! Nah, of course not. Cannonball!

The ending, and the scene before the ending are also extremely stupid. (I will not spoil it, but it SUCKS.) The ending itself is incredibly cliché, NOT funny, and totally predictable. I’m talking, so predictable, I was able to guess what would happen within less than 10 seconds before it happened. Whatever happened to the ending being an important part of the movie? This is just a stupid ending for a very stupid movie. It kind of finishes off that feeling you get: “I really just payed money for this piece of shit?” The saving of the trapped girl in the boat at the end was also very drawn out and way too dramatic. Either save the fucking girl or leave her, don’t take 5 minutes arguing with your mom, swim down, kiss her, and then, somehow, let a boat pull you underwater at about 50 mph. You’re going to be in extreme fucking pain when a boat moving that fast pulls you underwater, by the way, not happily gliding along. And how come the piranhas were not a problem when rescuing the girl and while being dragged back to safety? They sure were a problem for the lady who died while climbing across the rope, minutes earlier.

This is shallow, cheap entertainment. It’s not worth the extra money, the 3d effects are almost non- existent and suck when they happen, and the movie will be offensive to some. If you want to go with some friends to have a good laugh, see a lot of tits, and watch a lot of dumb assholes die, you could go to this, but the extra money is totally not worth it to me. If you’re looking for a thoughtful intelligent movie, that perhaps actually requires the usage of a human brain to comprehend, stay the hell away from this. I don’t know about you, but I paid a lot of money for these “special”, 3D tickets and glasses, and felt totally ripped off.

You must really hate it if you made your username. Unless you're a spammer. I'm leaning towards hate because it's an emotion I'm familiar with.

Holy shit someone does NOT like that movie! Shocked

I'm looking forward to seeing it on DVD personally. Great to watch during a SyFy movie marathon with a keg and lots of fried food close by. Very Happy

If you were older than ten, you'd know that "old professor" is Christopher Lloyd, and he's fucking amazing. The man was Doc Brown AND Judge Doom.

I kinda wanna see it, but unless Jeebus is really bored some day, we probably won't. Sure I'll be able to watch it on video, but it won't be the same as in 3D. I really hope Jerry O'Connell gets killed. Seriously, fuck Jerry O'Connell. Everything he did after Slider sucked and completely bombed, and yet, he keeps getting work. WTF?

Bill Simmons put forth the idea that post-Brad Jennifer Aniston has intentionally dated guys that she know she'll never be in a longterm relationship with (John Mayer... SERIOUSLY?) in order to keep herself painted as Aw, Poor Jennifer Aniston in the press and thus keeps getting work.

Yeah, but now even that's failing. Her best movie was Leprechaun and then someone told her she was good for whatever fucked up reason. I would nominate her to play Cathy in a live action adaptation of one of the shittiest comic strips ever.

I heard on the radio that there is an over abundance of 3D boobies in this film.

My boss saw this, and was actually really excited about seeing it. That excitement is now gone and he has declared it one of the worst pieces of shit ever made. As I understand it, Christopher Lloyd is the only good part of the movie, and only because he was playing the role over the top because he understood what the movie was. And blackout, he agreed. I guess there's literally a 3 minute scene of two topless girls swimming together.

I have no plans of seeing this even though it's out now. The only draw is...what? Girls in bikinis? OK, that's a fine draw to a movie, but if I want a horror/comedy I'm sticking with Army of Darkness Smile

Apparently this tore up decently enough at the BO to warrant a sequel.

Really? He was expecting a cheesy B horror movie about man-eating pirahnas to be awesome and was excited to see it? Did he not see the trailers?

A cheesy B horror movie can be awesome. And a super violent redband trailer came out online last month. So the hope that it would be nonstop violence was probably there.

Damn this movie was gory. I haven't seen a recent horror film, so the level of gore did surprise me. The movie was pretty good, if not a little corny.

@ihatepiranha3d

I haven't seen this film so i really don't have right to comment though i have two friends who went to see it and they both had differing opinions..

My first mate only went to see it because he wanted to see expendables and it was sold out. He hated it and thought it was shit.

My other mate went and said it was excellent and described it as so bad it was good.

When you watch a film it isn't always the film that makes you enjoy it, it is YOU who makes you enjoy it.

If you honestly went into piranha with the mindset that it was going to be good or the best film ever then you need your head checked. I haven't seen it, or seen trailers, read reviews etc. and i know it is going to be awful.

and because i know it's awful i can go and enjoy the probable over the top acting, shit effects etc. but i can enjoy it for what it is.

I buy loads of shit B-movies especially from independent film companies like Troma: Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell, Surf Nazis Must Die and also Troll 2. Then shit from major film companies as well like the Leprachaun series.

Because i have went into the films with the right mindset i have honestly laughed at Surf Nazis and Troll 2 harder than i have laughed at most comedy films. I laughed at Troll 2 harder than that National Lampoons Animal House which i always hear as being hilarious but is in fact a total dirge.

Basically it's down to you as the viewer as to what you take from a movie experience. I know people who love shit action films with Jean Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal, while i hate them. It depends really what you are into.

But i.. i love watching shit made films because even though the plots are bad, the effects are crap and the acting is poor, they are some of the most entertaining films i have ever seen.

This is worth seeing for the gore alone. Movies today usually hype up the killing, but fails to deliver. If anything else, I'm always a fan of any project that brings Christopher Lloyd and Elizabeth Shue together.

We got a taste of the James Cameron of old this week when he told Vanity Fair that Piranha 3D “is exactly an example of what we should not be doing in 3-D. Because it just cheapens the medium and reminds you of the bad 3-D horror films from the 70s and 80s.”

It hasn’t taken long for Mark Canton, one of the producers on Piranha 3D, to respond. His lengthy letter to James Cameron covers a lot of ground, but might best be summed up with one line in particular: “Jim, are you kidding or what?”

Apart from some opening invective, the letter is relatively politic, choosing to emphasize the fact that Piranha 3D is meant to be fun and seems to be satisfying audiences in that respect. Here’s a sampling of Mr. Canton’s comments; head to Movieline to read his full letter.

This is the rough stuff:

Mr. Canton wrote:
Mr. Cameron, who singles himself out to be a visionary of movie-making, seems to have a small vision regarding any motion pictures that are not his own. It is amazing that in the movie-making process - which is certainly a team sport - that Cameron consistently celebrates himself out as though he is a team of one. His comments are ridiculous, self-serving and insulting to those of us who are not caught up in serving his ego and his rhetoric.


But then there’s talk about teamwork, and a plea, of sorts, for Cameron to leave well enough alone:

Mr. Canton wrote:
What it comes down to, Jim, is - that like most things in life - size doesn’t really matter. Not everyone has the advantage of having endless amounts of money to play in their sandbox and to take ten years using other people’s money to make and market a film….like you do. Why can’t you just count your blessings?


The letter is all over the place, and in this case less would probably have been more. But it isn’t difficult to see where Canton is coming from. If there was something actually damaging about Piranha 3D, then seeing other filmmakers rip it would be more satisfying and useful. It’s not even like Cameron is even taking some moral high ground against the movie. He’s just kicking sand in its face.

Then again, you can’t buy publicity this entertaining, so perhaps Canton and The Weinstein Company should just run with it.
