what in the hell were they thinking? i love joe dante's piranha and i think i love the remake even more. i was excited for this film when it ws released but then i heard bad things about it and it came and went in theatres so fast i never got to see it. what in the hell were they thinking? two weeks ago or so i saw this movie for $4.25 on amazon. okay i thought, i'll get that. i snatched it up and it arrived and after 3 years (ish) i finally watched it. what in the hell were they thinking? this movie was even worse than i thought it would be. i thought it would be better than i had heard, i mean it is a horror sequel and horror, let alone a sequel never gets a good rap. but boy did this suck balls. it was worse than most straight to video craptacular films that have come out over the years. what in the hell were they thinking? how did they go from the fantastic alexandre aja masterpiece of carnage to this low brow piece of crap? they went from style and grace to utter putrid puke that even a starving animal wouldn't touch. what in the hell were they thinking? were to begin? this is hard... the camerawork is terrible. the underwater footage looked so so bad and the above ground stuff was not much better. the entire film is less than 70 minutes and they stretch it out with over 10 minutes of end credits complete with bloopers. the story is non existent. the gore is sub par. the music is god awful. nothing makes sense, like a guy with a fish on his dick. he cuts off his dick instead of stabbing the fish? why in the hell would he do that? the humour doesn't work at all. it's boring, even at it's barely feature length. the characters are just retarded, and i don't mean that in a derogatory way, i mean it just the way it sounds. a piranha can break through steel and metal but not glass? david hasselhoff is just embarrassing. gary busey and clu gulager are pale imitations compared to richard dreyfus. some of the background extras and sexy woman are so bad they make you feel ashamed that you are watching this. what in the hell were they thinking? i kept checking how much longer as it felt it would never end. i thought to myself i wasted four bucks. i hate that i have seen this movie because my memories of it will tarnish aja and dante's films. why did i watch this garbage? what in the hell were they thinking? i will say that christopher lloyd was. as always, great. and i will say that danielle panabaker was pretty good. i will also say that ving rhames was pretty funny (the only funny part) in this and i enjoyed his maybe 5 minutes of screen time. lastly i will mention how even the copious amounts of nudity couldn't keep me interested (and that never happens, ever). what in the hell were they thinking? production design: 3 out of 10 cinematography: 1 out of 10 re-playability: 1 out of 10 originality: 1 out of 10 costumes: 5 out of 10 directing: 2 out of 10 editing: 3 out of 10 acting: 6 out of 10 music: 3 out of 10 script: 1 out of 10 26/100
