Piranha 3D (2010)
10/10
Everything I wanted it to be and so much more.
20 August 2010
Gleefully unapologetic B-Monster-Movie throwback loaded with blood, guts and gratuitous nudity. The premise is simplistic like most movies of this sort tend to be but its great cast, pacing and excellent mixture of tongue-in cheek humour and legitimate thrills turn what could have been a run-of-the-mill creature feature into one hell of a fun ride. It's cheesy but never to the point of parody and while it threatens to go over the top, it sits at a comfortable medium of ridiculousness.

It's been so long since I've seen such an entertaining B-movie of this calibre in theatres. It just doesn't happen anymore. If I have but one complaint, it's the awkward and seemingly tacked final twist ending that I'm still on the fence about.

If you're turned off by how stupid the movie looks, odds are you won't think so strongly of it but for those who go in looking for a bit of fun, the movie will most certainly deliver the goods.

My favourite of 2010 so far.
