I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Wonderful character development!

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The only reason I watched this movie because it was the directorial debut of one of my favorite directors and probably one of your favorite directors, James Cameron. I did not see the original "Piranha" movie, but I have seen "Piranha 3D", which happens to be the most critically acclaimed movie not screened for critics ever made. Not much, but that's something. I really don't care to see the original, as this one is just plain bad. Even the opening credits seem to be done in a really choppy manner. The cuts in this film are really bad. What was it about little things attacking people in movies at this time? The original film was released the same year as "Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes!".This movie features piranhas that are actually genetic experiments that are able to fly. We get so many shots of these little things just swimming and flying aimlessly. It's a pain for the eyes to see these cheap special effects and listen to these weird sounds they make. I don't recall a single character's name. This movie has way too many characters and not a single one is memorable. Almost all of the acting is really bad. It's especially pitiful when the one guy, "I'm a kill those fish". This film is also painfully boring. It builds up to an attack that only lasts for a few minutes. "Piranha 3D" knew how to do its pacing and it went all the way with its detail and was shot nicely. Something like "Evil Dead" holds up because of how well it looks. This is just a shoddily put together film with nothing memorable. It's easily the worst thing James Cameron ever worked on and it's nice to know he only went uphill from here. Cameron himself is an atheist. When your career starts with a movie as bad as this, I can understand you lacking faith. *

"Piranha 2: The Spawning" looks exactly like what it is: two different movies made by two different people, using the same story, actors, and crew. Unfortunately, the less talented of the two also happened to be the producer, and he got his way. The result is an occasionally interesting, intermittently gripping, and mostly ridiculous pot of glop.I'm just making assumptions here, but I'm going to guess that you can see James Cameron's involvement in the straight, dramatic portions of the movie, including the murky but eerily pretty underwater sequences. Definitely the casting of a strong, resourceful, reasonably complex woman in the lead is a Cameron trademark. Producer Ovidio d'Assontis, I reckon, is responsible for most of the more slapstick, broad, typically B-movie material, of which there is a lamentable mountain. The movie's mixture of horror and comedy does not work *at all*. It's not even good comedy--stupid one-liners coming out of the mouths of third-rate Central Casting rejects and would-be Penthouse models. Next minute, it's Tricia O'Neil, Steve Marachuk, and Lance Henriksen playing it dead serious. Like downshifting to second gear from fifth at 80 mph.O'Neil is a quite good actress and gorgeous in a world-weary, edge-of-fortysomething way to boot, and Lance as the gaunt, stressed-out police chief/heroine's husband is a true professional as always, but Steve's wisecracking scientist/playboy gets really annoying really fast...and he's supposed to be the co-hero. The rest of the cast is just downhill (or is that rapidly sinking?) from there, mostly a tiresome assortment of cardboard goofballs, although Gabby the dynamite fisherman is a likable representative of movie-Caribbeana and probably the most interesting character of the lot. The romance between the two teens is interesting when you consider that Leslie Graves was actually close to ten years older than her 15-year-old paramour, Ricky Paull.I almost forgot about the fish, the reason all these people were assembled in the first place.Do you blame me, though? You don't really see them much, to be honest, as much as you hear them, making that sort of wooga-wooga-wooga warbling noise as they swim in for the krill...er, kill. And when you do seen them, you don't for very long because your eyes get all scrunched up from you laughing. They really are ridiculous looking things, or at least the special effects shots in which they star are so badly done that you can't take them seriously. Granted, it's a cheap movie and I have seen worse ("Up From The Depths", anyone?), but I would think that if a visionary like James Cameron had had his way he would have approached the task a little differently. In fact, from what I read he had been originally hired as the Effects Supervisor when d'Assontis snatched him to replace the original director. If only he'd been left in his original post...but then the good parts of the movie wouldn't have happened at all, probably.What's the final verdict, then? It's an interesting, modest footnote to the early career of one of our towering cinematic giants, a typical Italian-flavored horror B-movie of the period. Largely dumb, but not a complete waste. Of definite interest to underwater fans.

As a fan of the original Roger Corman classic, Piranha i just had to check this one out.the names of Lance Henriksen and director James Cameron (terminator, Aliens, the abyss) attracted me to the title. it cost me a pretty penny as the DVD is hard to find in Canada, but i got it nevertheless and was entertained for an hour and a half. while not of the humorous caliber of the original, i still enjoyed the campy quality of it. the film appears to have many flaws with acting, plot, direction and obviously budget, but if you enjoy a mind numbing, silly good time with cheesy effects, and a healthy amount of nudity you won't be disappointed with Piranha 2: the spawning.

"Piranha II – the Spawning" is the tale of a burgeoning beach-side resort town that is besieged by razor-toothed grunions. While local biologist (O'Neil) courts her latest beau (Marachuk), her estranged husband and local police chief (Henriksen) has his hands full with mutilated bodies, and worse still, the savage little blighters can fly. When it emerges that Marachuk has a shady background that may be related to the winged mutations, O'Neil and Henriksen reunite to save the local community during its annual beach ceremony.Director Cameron's inauspicious debut is a gore-fest with plenty of bare flesh (check out the randy scuba divers in act one, or the topless pair who swindle the nerd) and some truly alarming special effects (half masticated corpses courtesy of Giannetto De Rossi). Henriksen is his usual reliable self (and became a staple in Cameron's movies), while O'Neil is an attractive and self assured leading lady. Soap opera (and for that matter, men's magazine) viewers might recognize the young face of the ill-fated Leslie Graves, who co-starred on "Capitol" shortly following this film.Cameron's film is overlong and conceptually infantile, not to mention clumsy in its detail (some of the "flying" fish appear to be doing so with the aid of a fishing rod, cables in view). Conspicuously absent is the wit and good taste of the original, while cheap slapstick and poor taste are now in abundance. Senses on overload with enough to whet the adolescent appetites of the target audience mesmerized by flying chainsaws gnawing off the kind of extremities normally reserved for Sylvia Kristel films of the era.
