Piranha 3D

Looks like one of those guilty pleasures -- gory, fun, mindless, cheesy. Pure popcorn summer horror movie.
 
Btw, although I probably won't go see it (mainly because I don't have the time), I'm surprised by the positive reviews I read about this movie, and Alexandre Aja (the director) hasn't had a turd in his resume yet, with High Tension, Mirrors, and The Hills Have Eyes all being better than average. Besides, I read that there's plenty of gore, nudity, and very cheesy homage to classic horror flicks like Jaws. I'll probably see this eventually on DVD.

Im so excited for this movie, like genuinely thrilled.
 
this looks so ridiculous it might just work.. i saw a tvspot with a bunch of piranha's creating an underwater vortex/tornado..

it'll prob bomb though
 
It looks really fun. I think ill watch it online but that seems like the worst place to see this. I would call a couple friends over but they get annoying at times.
 
Most of the chicks that aren't main characters are actually porn stars, apparently. Hence the casual nature in which they get nekkid on film.
 
holy crap critics are loving this movie.. 82%???? thats higher than scott pilgrim =o
 
That is actually Surprising. Usually Critics hate movies like this. I think I will see this tomorrow after work because to be honest its the only movie that comes out this week that looks fun.
 
I think its how they marketed it, they didnt shy away from the exploitation of the movie.
 


All the movies coming out this weekend seem like they belong at redbox already , I htink this is the exception . I think everyone knows its supposed ot be campy fun , looking forward to the christopher lloyd cameo
 
This actually looks like it could be a fun time at the movies, I may see it. I always enjoy a good monster movie.
 
I like that one commercial that somewhat spoofs the Avatar 3D thing with the font.
 
Damn looking at the Rotten Tomatoes meter and now its went up from last night its now at 89. This is nuts could it really be good corny fun? Might be one of those Guilty Pleasures movies.
 
a couple of reviews Ive read said this movie does what Snakes on a Plane didn't...which is dance gingerly on the line of parody, but not be parody

the movie knows its place
 
All the RT quotes are making me anticipate this movie even more.

BUT, the Finnish release date is Nov 26th, for ****'s sake!
 

I really enjoyed it . It starts out with all these cliches and the deaths are mostly off camera but then the second half is this incredible gore fest . It was alot more creative and a little more terrifying that I expected. There is some really funny jokes in relation to nudiy and genitilia , also the way they use 3d is mostly for gags . It is campy and exploitation , the acting is decent , jerry o connel really hams it up .

also one of my favorite death scenes was
eli roth getting squashed by a boat and his head getting decapitated

7/10


 
Loved this movie. It was like a 70's B movie on steroids. Everything was over the top greatness. Achieved everything it was trying to be.
 
Am I in the Twlight Zone? Critics actually love this??? I thought this would get absolutely trashed. Did Jesus write the script and possess the body of this director?

Well, if the critics love this and get it, this will flop probably.

Forget Avatar. This movie is what 3D was made for. If you see it, you'll understand. :awesome:
