Summary: Great Movie
Review: Frist movie was a great one with lots of blood and guts. But the second one I personnly didn't like I like the worms better than those two legged bird like animal. I hoped the their one is like the first one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Graboids are Back!
Review: TREMORS 3 continues the story of giant underground worms or "grabiods" and returns back to where it all began, Perfection, Nevada. With Earl and Val out of this movie, its up to Burt, the survivalist and the remainder of the town to stop the graboids. This time not only are they able to turn themselves into dog-like hopping creatures but now also have become able to change into a flying menace!!
Tremors 3 does maintain the sense of comedy and suspence found in the first two films but it fell a bit short of being completely satisfying. Most of the special effects shots would have been better if they had skipped the CGI and sticked with the animatronic creature instead. Overall this is a good sci-fi action movie, however, I would strongly recommend watching TREMORS first, then TREMORS 2: AFTERSHOCKS and if you still want more go for this one...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Same, Good Ol'
Review: First they slithered, then they walked, now they fly. With each step of evolution "graboids" take, they get deadlier. And with each new Tremors movie there is, they stay the same. The entertainment value and campy fun is the same in each. Of course, there's more of it all in the first, but with the second and third, the Tremor movies are still fun!

In the latest, Tremors 3 : Back to Perfection, we are taken back to Perfection, Nevada where the first movie takes place. Burt (Michael Gross) is the main star in this entry, and we first see him shooting down a herd of Shriekers in front of a frightened tv crew. This was a great opener for Tremors 3. We are then introduced to new characters (Shawn Christian & Susan Chaung) and some familiar faces from the first Tremors. Tony Genaro (Miquel), Charlotte Stewart (Nancy), Bobby Jacoby (Melvin), and Ariana Richards (Mindy) all return. And this makes this movie more at home than the second, and gives a great feeling to it. And also many references to the first. From Walter Chang's store which is now ran by his granddaughter Jodi Chang to the infamous Perfection Valley water tower.

Tremors 3 is the same mixture of fun and rock-to-rock terror. And being a fan of the series, I wouldn't mind seeing a Tremors 4 with Michael Gross in the lead.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: FLATULENT FLYING BEASTIES
Review: This second sequel to the classic TREMORS is better than the first sequel but again can't come close to the original. With that in mind, though, credit the writers for adding some fresh new features to the monsters, like exploding farts, etc., and a much better second banana in Shawn Christian. This one's pace is a little slow at times and Michael Gross continues to become more caricature than character, but he is still fun to watch. Ariana Richards, Susan Chuang and Charlotte Stewart are fun in their roles and good old obnoxious Melvin is back, all grown up and trying to sell real estate. I miss the giant worms being the focal point, the shriekers weren't that fun either, but the assblasters are pretty effective. As in any series of movies like this, the novelty begins to wear off and you risk losing interest. If the writers can continue to morph the graboids, though, who knows?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Much better than the second one
Review: I guess the first 'Tremors' will always be the best if only for bringing the graboids to our lives for the first time. Well, as a movie it's also the best.
But this 'Tremors 3' is a close second. The comedy works much better than in the second one, and the dialogue scenes felt better too (I think brent madock is a better director than his pal).
The Michael Gross character is also a lot more effective as protagonist than as humorous relief, as was treated in the second one. I really think it was a mistake to bring Fred Ward back in that one, there was nothing new for his character to do and the chemistry with Christopher Gartin was not as good as with Kevin Bacon. I like the new characters in 'Tremors 3'. Shawn Christian is good (and hot) and Susan Chuang is a nice match.
In spite of being produced more recently the CGI looks worse than in the second one, but that didn't trouble me.
This is the first dvd in the series with an anamorphic transfer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Graboids, Shreakers, and Blasters, oh my!!
Review: The third in this series keeps up the "excitement" with the latest evolving of these creatures. Bert Gummer saves the day - again but he has to outsmart El Blanco who is following him in around. Another great movie. My girls love Bert (their 6 and 7) and can say his lines with him they've watched the movie so often.
