The fish swimming underwater looked better than the original. Also gorier. Just as cheesy and with as much nudity as the first movie. It isn't as good as the first but still kinda fun. Yes, James Cameron made a film about killer flying fish. Could you imagine how good he'd make a b-movie if he made it now?

If not good as the original but I do think better then remake sequel piranha DO When j first saw this sequel , I did like it at all compared to the first movie However over years this movie and grown on me a litte There are that I really enjoy and liked the bloody parts of the movie and didn't mind the flying fish.It dose take long for the movie getting going but the killing starts and I loved the part on beach Let's eat raw fish , that was great scene , silly but really fun to watch I know it was intended to be funny but it was still great fun to watch The acting was decent and fish effects ts were okay for the time5 out of 10

A piranha with a twist that's more terrifying, as now our killer fish are airborne. Yes, I know it ludicrous, but it's fun none the less, and as an added bonus, we have James Cameron behind the camera in his first feature, prefore to his '84 blockbuster, The Terminator. We have plenty of suspense, and some teasing shots of our man eaters, small bits of gore here and there, to hold us off, until the horrid realization is made, and the real hell breaks loose. That neck sucking scene in the mortuary by one of the killer fish, always stays in my mind, since first viewing it in '84. You should see the rest of the guy. Aside from this and all it's terrifying fun, so much scarier than the original, and bloodier, this isn't a badly made feature, a good starting point for Cameron, who was to later on, be one of those masters for creating hit after hit like the Scott's or Bruckheimer's. One openly candid shot, I liked, features a girl with big hooters, sunbaking on the beautiful Caribbean. There are of course some hotties in this too, one very young, a standout. Piranha does maintain it's suspense throughout, you want to run for cover from these blood sucking fish, and that's what makes a horror movie, and don't underestimate the violence in this either. For Piranha fans especially, or ones let down by the original.

Sitting down to watch this movie in 2011, I was quite surprised to see James Cameron was involved in this movie, and I was also surprised to find Lance Henriksen on the cast list.I have seen the first part of these movies and it wasn't too bad. Then this movie came along, and it all fell apart. The piranha themselves, weren't' too badly made, considering this is back from 1981. But the fact that they suddenly had wings and were flying about? Come on, seriously? That was just too much, and it totally made the movie turn from horror to comedy in a bad, bad way.The movie also suffered from horrendous acting and really dull dialogue. The only one worth watching in the movie, in my opinion, was Lance Henriksen. There were just too many performances where you didn't buy into the performance for a second."Piranha 2: The Spawning" is a terrible sequel and is not really worth the time, unless you are desperately in need of finding something to watch and can't find anything else. I managed to sit through the entire movie, and I can honestly say that I will never pop this back into the DVD player again.And also, I was sitting with a gnawing sensation that this entire movie was just a spin off of the "Jaws" movies, only with the lead "bad fish" changed from a shark to large, flying piranha. It took place on an island. There was a police officer (Lance Henriksen). Gee, didn't we see this in "Jaws" already?All in all, "Piranha 2" is boring and uneventful. I wish it would just grow wings like the fish did and then fly away.
