thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, o filme tem cenas bacaninhas das piranhas, o elenco quase nao ajuda, e o filme tem uma história fraca e com personagens mais ou menos, o filme até teve algumas cenas que salvaram, mas não o suficiente para ser bom. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/04/25 Full Review r96 s 'Piranha' is short on laughs for a "comedy horror", though I did still enjoy this film. The elements to do with the titular fish are pretty strong, they are portrayed in the right way so the humans do feel in suitable danger. The piranhas aren't shown much, which is smart. Obviously it is inspired by 1975's 'Jaws' and does fall fairly far adrift of that classic, though that is to be expected and I'd still log it as a respectable attempt at following the mould set by that Steven Spielberg movie. It's nicely paced too, the ending felt like it came quickly. Bradford Dillman and Heather Menzies make for a pairing that I liked following, the rest of the cast are all on the same level - noteworthy to see Keenan Wynn and Dick Miller involved. It's not really a film about the cast though, let's be honest. Come for the piranha, stay for the piranha. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Farah R The level of quality that went into filmmaking in the past is lamentable when watching movies today. Piranha, a parody of Jaws, has better writing, acting, and special effects than some big-budget movies. If you don't take it too seriously, it's plenty fun.

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review nick s I didn't expect much of this movie given that it was cashing in on Jaws. It did lack the buildup and payoff of the blockbuster and the action wasn't paced well. But what really took me aback was the quality of the acting. Until the appearance of Dr Menders at the half way mark it was very convincing. Far above a B movie. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Dallas H I enjoy watching Joe Dante's creature features even if they feel like a Jaws movie riff. And what is the deal with pronouncing the word "piranha" in this movie? The characters enunciate the word with a hard Y instead of a silent H.
