Didn't watch it in 3d. It was regular and i don't now how much i lost from movie experiance , but generalliy as someone who got a respect for Aja i'am quite disappointed. Ok the gore is all there , Aja filming style and 70's sense for humorDidn't watch it in 3d. It was regular and i don't now how much i lost from movie experiance , but generalliy as someone who got a respect for Aja i'am quite disappointed. Ok the gore is all there , Aja filming style and 70's sense for humor too , but i expected something more memorable than summer blockbuster hit. The main character is dull , his mother is ok but the rest of the cast ( Except for the Kelly Brook which is obviosly there for the eye candy moments) are quite irritant. There is a certain grindhouse feel in the movie which is also a plus but that's individual impression. CGI Pirahna's dont look so good at all , and their real potential is probably only there when watching in 3d. This is a rolecoaster ride first , and a good horror movie second which is a bad for Director who staretd with Heute Tension , and Hill have eyes remake. This movie is his downhill , that he started with Mirrors , but that doesnt mean audiences wont enjoy it. Fun and cheap.… Expand

"Piranha 3-D" is your average bloody-gore fest boobs-n-blood movie that only those who enjoy it will greatly appreciate.

The movie was silly and exactly what you expect it to be. Gratuitous nudity, great gore prosthetics, and enjoyable groan-inducing dialogue abound. The 3D was acceptable and only added to the carnage.

I wanted this to like this movie. But I was underwhelmed. Granted there is the first 3D nude underwater lesbian scene in fil history, but that scene was decidedly not sexy.

I just wanted it to be more.… Expand

Piranha 3D is pure trash but the violence and gore is actually funny that i enjoyed it to an extent. Stupid yes, acting pitiful yes, but a stupid movie, with terrible acting, that has fish biting off people's limbs never felt so enjoyable.

It's a shame they didn't shoot in native 3D. The conversion introduces annoying artefacts but it's still worth watching in 3D to add to the insanity. Definitely the best piranha movie. Nude 3D swimming. It's an assault on the senses in a good way.

Its fun, gory, boob filled, scary, and just grotesque. I LOVED IT. don't go to this expecting academy noms, but just kick back, rub your eyes, put the glasses on, and cheer to the gore.

Cheerfully idiotic 3-D nonsense throws so much blood, gore, and nudity into the faces (literally) of the audience that it makes Roger Corman's wonderful 1978 JAWS ripoff of the same title look like MY DINNER WITH ANDRE. In the right frame ofCheerfully idiotic 3-D nonsense throws so much blood, gore, and nudity into the faces (literally) of the audience that it makes Roger Corman's wonderful 1978 JAWS ripoff of the same title look like MY DINNER WITH ANDRE. In the right frame of mind (preferably a little buzzed) this actually goes down quite enjoyably, especially with a cast full of pros (Elisabeth Shue, Jerry O'Connell, Ving Rhames, Christopher Lloyd) leading the way. Oh, and good old Richard Dreyfuss cast in a cameo for pure the nostalgia's sake, still humming a certain tune that will be instantly familiar to all JAWS fans. No pretentions, just good, nasty, R-rated fun.… Expand

Sick, gruesome, but entertaining b-movie. I had some serious doubts about this, but it was fun to watch and sometimes laugh out loud funny. I can't recommend this to anyone, but if your looking for a bloody, horror, b-movie ride, look no further.

It is somewhat fun to watch. Its a little forgettable, but this typically offensive movie is somewhat unique.

Sexy, funny, bloody, and wild, Piranha delivers low class, roller coaster entertainment.

Not much to dislike about this movie. Boobs, blood, guts...it's a winner in my book. So much fun to be had with this film! Unfortunately they quickly made a sequel for this, but this first addition is good.

Piranha 3D is that kind of movie that isn't self aware, it is the kind of movie that should be watched once and then trashed, of course, Piranha is a 3D movie that can't be watched in 2D it would make it worse for the viewer, with boobsPiranha 3D is that kind of movie that isn't self aware, it is the kind of movie that should be watched once and then trashed, of course, Piranha is a 3D movie that can't be watched in 2D it would make it worse for the viewer, with boobs everywhere, this isn't a movie it is a porn in water with tons of blood, on the bright side, Piranha is a movie that is so bad that it gives you a good time, but don't expect anything from this kind of cheap horror movie.… Expand

PIRANHA 3D delivers what it promises: gore and boobs, but doesn't realize that to be a good horror comedy you have to be clever in your attempts to spoof the genre, and well, in the end, sort of falls flat.

I don't know.. I'm a bit disappointed. Although this had a lot of boobs and two set pieces with good gore, I just can't call "Piranha 3D" a "gore fest". "Braindead" was a gore fest. This one just had bad cg fish.
