Piranha 3DD (2012)

 
 
After watching Dark Shadows last night, I decided to keep the movie momentum going with another flick from 2012. Of course, I knew going in that there was no way this one could even come close to that Tim Burton entry, but hey, sometimes everyone suffers a little. My late night selection last night was the little publicized (for a reason) Piranha 3DD.
 
 
Plot/ After the events at Lake Victoria, the pre-historic school of bloodthirsty piranhas make their way into a newly opened water park.
 
 
Honestly, before even popping this into the DVD player, I knew what to expect. No, I had not read a review, I could just tell that what I was about to watch was going to be miserable. To be fair, I had hoped that there would be enough campy fun for me to overlook the flaws that I knew would permeate through the entire flick. Unfortunately, I could not even get that. This has to be one of the worst sequels in history. The acting is bad (except for a couple cameos, which are decently funny), the plot makes little sense, and it really offered very little in originality. There was some gore, some kills, and some hot chicks, but that is about it. In the end, this flick was truly one of the most terrible sequels I have watched and feel dumber for have spent time with this on my television. Honestly, avoid this at all cost!

Piranha 3D (2010)



After a few days at rebuilding the living room after moving into the HD age, it was time to sit down with a few flicks. My first choice on the new TV set was the 2010 remake of the 1970s Roger Corman flick Piranha, Piranha 3D.


Plot/ After a sudden underwater tremor sets free scores of the prehistoric man-eating fish, an unlikely group of strangers must band together to stop themselves from becoming fish food for the area's new razor-toothed residents.


From the first time I heard of this remake, I really did not expect much. Honestly, I got more than I expected. Yes, the plot, script, acting and some of the CGI was off, and seemed Sci-Fi Channelish at best. However, for me the boobs, comic moments, nudity and gore at least made it an enjoyable hour and a half. Plus, seeing Richard Dryfuss on the water was pretty funny, not Bill Murray funny, but funny. In the end, this is far from a great flick, but if you like blood, guts and boobs, you should enjoy it at least a little. I at least enjoyed watching my wife jump at the ending!
