Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
jadzia92 Mega Piranha is a mockbuster from Asylum, released to capitalise on the release of Piranha 3D. Mega Piranha is truly mega trash of a movie with a conclusion that felt extremely unsatisfying. To be fair the piranhas were truly terrifying. Included in the cast is Barry Williams playing Secretary of State Bob Grady and I definitely appreciate how his character got his surname. Playing the main male character is Paul Logan as Jason Fitch and he sure make his fight against the piranhas looked fun even though this is a truly atrocious movie. The solution at the end only solved one part of a wider problem, a problem that does not seem to be solved to my complete satisfaction. The mega in the title not only refers to the piranha but the size of this complete and utter trash.
donnajpierce Oh,why did I record this? Maybe I thought it would be good but it was not.Boy what came upon me of WATCHING this?I mean they have this guy, right, who can kill the piranha by kicking them! Whats up with that?And the helicopter shoots 20 foot bullets at the river that kill 50 foot piranha, but I still see ducks.How do they survive?And it is not even titled right it should be Mega Horrible . And big,big piranha jumping OUT of water, in the city, and EXPLODING? Exploding? Really, wow.but they do tell how the fish' size comes about, the science experiment. This movie makes a new genre, Horr-able. But, there are 50 foot and up piranha killing people, right? That is very entertaining!And, besides, who cares if they're animated, can you do better?
Knighthawk701 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!
Moragandjim58 I haven't laughed so much for a long time. Giant piranhas which throw themselves out of the water onto buildings before exploding. Then there's the complete non existence of continuity. A road which was 3 lanes wide suddenly becomes a dirt track in a village, the village suddenly becomes jungle, and the jungle then becomes open land. Or how about a ship that changes from a salvage vessel into a battleship, and a crewman working a cardboard box with knobs and buttons being twiddled feverishly! I love the Captain with the long hair and suggestion of a ponytail, or the submarine which has a periscope made from the tube that carpets are wound on. Honestly it is so ridiculously awful, you have to watch it!
