I had to give Piranha 4 stars just to even out these rubbish reviews that are so wide off the mark it beggers belief,people seem to have taken this movie way too seriously ! Lighten up folks ! What did you expect? a serious frightening horror like Halloween or Susperia !
This has to be the most fun i've had watching a movie in 2010 ( apart from kick ass), it delivers everything it says on the tin, you want gore ? - you got it, you want T&A and hot girls ? - you got it, you want a tight paced action movie? - you got it, you want some dumb funny lines and humour? - you got it. You want a couple of cool cameos from Richard Dreyfuss reprising his role from jaws and Christopher Lloyd reprising Doc Brown? ( ok well the latter isn't true but it's very doc like!) you got it all folks!
This isn't really a remake of joe dante's 1978 original, it has a different story entirely and this is more a reboot than remake. The spring break setting works for the movie and the story is slightly reminiscent of jaws in places. Big seaside weekend is being threatened by killer shark..er..i mean fish !
Ok ,so it's dumb ! It's meant to be!!! it's not supposed to be straight horror or high art but if its entertainment you want in a tight paced 88 mins then this movie delivers. Lines like "They stole my penis" weren't put there due to a bad script with poor dialogue, it's meant to be that way!. I personally found this movie hilarious in places !
When i saw this movie i got exactly what i thought it would be , a dumb comedy horror with lots of gore and i was completely happy when i walked out of the cinema with my expectations delivered.
GREAT FUN BUT PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS MOVIE SERIOUSLY !

The original Piranha is a dreadfull shameless cash in of the classic film Jaws. Piranha 2 is only worth watching as a curiosity piece as it's the debut of one James Cameron. Hopes weren't high for this remake, in fact i was thinking why on earth are they even bothering? And it's probably fair to say that a lot of you out there were probably thinking the same. But Piranha the remake has defied the odds and is probably the best horror remake of all time. A gloriously silly, tongue in cheek, very trashy and very enjoyable horror movie and lots of fun to watch with a great cast playing it completely straight and 2 great cameos from Richard Dreyfuss, probably wishing that he had a bigger boat, and Christopher Lloyd. It also features model Kelly Brook and she gives a surprisingly decent performance. I wouldn't go as far as saying that she's oscar material, she's nowhere near that good, but considering the last thing i saw her in was an early episode of Smallville and she was dreadfull in that it's not bad. On the other hand, if they gave out oscars for best nude scene, then she'd probably win hands down with the most ridiculous girl on girl scene that you'll ever see. Great fun and a joy to watch, and very gory, just don't take any of it seriously.

I got thid 3d version hoping to see some good affects, but it was a complete bore and the 3d affects are the worst ive seen with this newest technologly, ive seen better 3d affects with the old red and green glasses. leave this alone if your after some quality 3d viewing or a decent film.

Gore fest.
In fairness - not my cup of tea. Little or no plot and an out and out gore fest, some good special effects!

Piranha is highly entertaining. It doesn't hold back on the blood and there are some moments of pure bad taste. Read more
