Piranha 2: The Spawning

This movie was pretty terrible. In retrospect the original was terrific! The special effects were terrible. We rarely ever got a clear shot of the fish, and when we did, they looked like plastic fish hung on wire! And believe it or not, this is a James Cameron movie! The man who brought you the special effects from Titanic and the Abyse! The story was predictable and uncreative and the characters were plain. And worst of all, the horny old lady, and the asshole of the movie lived! AHG! Boo this movie. Boo. 1 out of 5.
