The acting apart from Shue and Dreyfuss's cameo is not that great in all honesty, Christopher Lloyd overdoes it badly to the point you can't keep a straight face whenever he appears and Jerry O'Connell is so obnoxious you feel nothing but irritation for him. The editing could've been more tight and less sloppy, while the direction lacks focus and the female nudity does get too much after a while. The piranhas are effectively designed, but they're not really that threatening until the big attack and a lot of scenes suffer from a lack of tension and excitement. The script was mostly very weak and cheesy, the music verged on gimmicky and obvious and the story is dull with little surprises. So what was wrong? Sadly, pretty much everything else. Elizabeth Shue is very good in her role, and Richard Dreyfuss's cameo was really quite neat. The big attack is gory and one of the few scenes in the film I'd call tense, the special effects look great and well-incorporated here and the scenery is really beautiful. ![]() But apart from some good moments I found this movie messy and rather pointless too.There are some good things. Just for the record I was fully prepared for a fun, silly movie like the original Piranha. Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 3 / 10 Messy.
