Piranha 3D Review Thread (Use Spoilers)

[SleeperAgent]

Word. They filmed this in my town. Best part about it was them giving restaurants money to upgrade. Makes me sad to see Ving Rhames and the guy from Sliders in such terrible movies.

Movie will be utter crap.

[Foggy]

I guess there trying to get the crowd that went watching Final Destination, Well they won't do that if it's not in 3D

Apparently they also moved it because they wanted to get out of the way of Kick-Ass

[Crimson King]

I just care about the Joe Dante original, seem like Corman sell the rights to those classics every few years or so, first Concorde New Horizon, then Buena Vista, and now Shout Factory. Piranha had a great "B" cast which included Paul Bartell, Dick Miller, Barbara Steele, Bradford Dillman, Heather Menzies, Keenan Wynn and Kevin McCarthy.

Reminded us that underneath every "progressive" Avatar and Up fan, there is the old-school kitschy "Treasure of the Four Crowns" fan waiting to come out.

(Hopefully, Disney might salvage a clue from that first "Nature movie" fakeout, and actually GIVE us a DisneyNature in 3-D...
We can assume that somebody else's "Spring Break 3-D" is already in production. )

Alexandre Aja updating the b-movie classic in 3D? Come on! This just screams fun. Words like "bomb" and "suck" shouldn't even be an issue for a film like this. It's the type of movie that never pretends to be something it's not. I for one am disappointed by this news.

[P@t_Mtl]

I am maybe confuse on this, did I see a pic at one point that Richard Dreyfus was in this movie?

[OrlandoEastwood]

Yeah, he was in the trailer.

That's been the trend in Hollywood for decades. Make a film that raises the bar, and you have a bunch of garbage to follow. How many Star Wars/Alien rip offs have we've come accross in the 80s?

Then you have "Jurassic Park" which was a CGI feast, followed by a bunch of garbage in which their movie trailers and TV commercials showed all of the CGI that was to be displayed in the film, thus walking out of the theater looking Perplexed.

I watched about 30 minutes of "Transmorphers" with my son this weekend, and talk about "read between the lines". The script read, "We don't have enough money to make a decent CGI character, so we will have as much dialogue as possible to eat up the time".

[WyldeMan45]

Damn Harvey really needs to cut this shit out and sell the company to someone who knows what they are doing. And this movie no longer in 3-D? Lol, that was the only reason to see it, this is gonna gross like $500k W2G numb nuts.

[detective392]

There was a lengthy blog post about how the Weinstines waste everyone's time it was pretty funny. I was looking forward to seeing this movie but I am waiting for the blu release.

[LordCrumb]

On set photos (five), features gore so I thought I better add spoiler tags.

[Show spoiler]

Judging by the first pic I see the Cat in the Hat is going to be making a special guest appearance?

[CZAR]

Wow that is to much! I assume its a horror/comedy right? Got Em!!

Judging by the whole 'Piranha' thing, yeah Its safe to assume its probably not going to be taken seriously.

See thats the thing. I want it to be a serious film. I dont like to many horror/comedy films. There are exceptions but this could actually be a scary film if they took it serious. Guess well see. Got Em!!

[GORT]

They should have gone the whole nine yards and put Laser beams on their heads to.

You mean Sharks, sharks with frickin' laser beams. Although Mike Myers would have to feature then.

I was lucky enough to see a full-on 3D trailer for this before Avatar (any truth to the rumor that this is going out in 2D only?) and it definitely looks like a horror/comedy.

It will still probably be intense since Aja is the director

[LordCrumb]

I think everyone should see it as it has Christopher Lloyd in it anyway

[OrlandoEastwood]

I beat you to it, KaiGusto.

It's probably not going to be in 3D anymore. So, F*** HARVEY WEINSTEIN!

[LordCrumb]

Yeah I did search for 'Piranha' before I posted but nothing turned up. A Mod might merge them.
