Too much of everything
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Probably the only aspect of the movie worth some mention is the acting especially from Tiffany as scientist Sarah or David Labiosa as the bad Venezuelan colonel. Even Paul Logan did good. But all that sincerity for a story that failed them is unfortunate. How do piranhas detonate on impact?! They hit a house and go kaboom! How?! And there are more such scenes that don't make sense but it'd be a spoiler to reveal here. The effects although weak, is still OK for a shoestring budget. I saw this movie anyway since I just wanted to relax, not with an intention to watch good cinema. So if you happen to watch this on TV or DVD, focus more on your food, drinks or the feel of relaxation and you will do just fine :)
We need them big, we need them strong, we need them more meaner... and so Asylum come up with giant piranha movie that is certainly bad directed, ugly edited, badly filmed with the camera... the camera man was obviously drunk nearly in every scene. Acting is amazingly disgusting... especially from our leading man Paul Logan. The story is about... well, you know, just like the movie title says... a giant piranhas. These piranhas mutated and grow bigger and bigger just to give us a terrible ending. A merciless scenes of large stupidity that insults intelligence. I don't know... was director Eric Frosberg drunk? High? Or maybe he's an idiot? I don't understand what makes Asylum going on and on to waste people's money and time with their Z movie crap. I mean there are such scenes in which people deliberately jumps off the boat into the water... so anxious to get eaten, huh? Paul Logan who defends himself from piranhas while on land by kicking them as they come on to him one after another... and the scene where all piranhas are jumping out of water on the land in some kamikaze style... don't think I made some spoiler here, I don't care, this movie already spoils your brain.Now, the actors... Our incredible leading man Paul Logan... damn... this guy... I have never seen a face like this for a long time. I thought that Steven Seagal is a master for having a same face for every emotional situation, well... Logan guy can inherit that style of acting from Seagal easily. Logan plays Finch a marine who is sent to investigate what happened in Amazon after a piranha attack. Logan, besides he can't change his face, he talks quietly in some scenes, he sounds like a retard... it's really amazing. And Tiffany... oh dear me... Just like Debbie Gibson, she has a washed up career in music, just like in the films. And just like Debbie Gibson... we can easily say for Tiffany that her life career is sealed with crap and no smart work at all. Tiffany... does she have a last name? That pretentious co*ksucking bi*ch... Her character is silly, does she look like a scientist to you? She doesn't even look like a heroine in the usual action film, she is fat and ugly... far from some sexy, "smart" scientist. Ugh. She and Logan made some kind of romantic connection in the film and that resulted with the kiss on the end, but... there was nothing emotional between them... nothing at all.Don't waste your time here... you have something better to do... kill yourself.
I considered giving this film a 4 for laughs alone. but hey, its really should of got a 1 . OK, first off Greg Brady's in it but they call him Bob Grady... yup .. you get the picture. right away when one said.. "they double every 3 days" or something like that. they other scientist says "oh no , they are growing exponentially, they are doubling every 36 hours" AWWW both are geometric progressions. well, i don't want to ruin the ending but I guarantee you . if you have 3 digits in your IQ you will be saying "and this works... WHY???" in the mean time the fish will get bigger then smaller then really big .. then small.. and the acting is as bout as good as when my friend made a spoof movie and I acted in it. lol. if you like really STUPID scifi movies.(as I do for the laugh factor) you might like this one. there is plenty to laugh at. nothing is believable and the animation is about as good as Gumby. and capt America is wayy better then any body from a cheep 3rd world. lol .. this movie has it all.. but it really makes NO sense and Don't think... you will experience brain cell loss if you do.. just point and laugh. lol
The 4 stars I give to this movie are only for the fun factor as we had a great time watching it and making fun of it. The mistakes are too much to mention, the plot, dialog and characters are laughable and some scenes are just to bad to be funny, rather annoying. Some scenes are really over the top.I would like to mention the scene were the giant piranha's attack the US. The grow and grow and are as big as a submarine. They survive a nuclear explosion yet the hero and his SEAL buddies want to take them on using underwater guns that are build to shoot submarines??? Somehow this rocket-science idea fails and the hero (who only speaks monotone) goes to Miami to battle them at the beach. There they see the giant fish jumping out of the water wanting to eat a whole building and suiciding themselves. Sure...But at the beach he is attacked by some piranha's as big as small sharks. As the Van Damme clone he is he kicks them while sitting on the ground. Not one, but a dozen. After he kicks off the piranhasoccerteam, he keeps sitting on the beach talking with his back turned to the water as if there was not a chance he will be attacked.I also would like to mention the many movie mistakes, like the Venzuelan army flying US choppers, the US sub that in the next shot turns into a Russian sub, the US destroyer that is first showed as stock footage of the landing ship and then turns into an Iowa battleship. The car chase that features 2 groups of people that seem to be changing cars during the middle of the chase. The hero drives 3 different cars and the bad guys first drive a brand new SUV then the next shot it turns 10 years old.In short order, a real Syfy-channel classic!
