Tremors 4: The Legend Begins

OK I don't see the hate here. Tremors set in the Wild West with a brief appearance by Billy Drago as a top notch gunfighter hired to kill overgrown cockroaches. How can you not love it? I firmly believe Tremors may very well be one of the best b-movie franchises of all time. Admittedly, this movie is ridiculously forgettable and simple, but it's fucking Tremors in the Wild West!

The wild west. Were you shoot first and ask questions later. Where life is cheap. And were questionable franchises go to die horribly drawn out, boring, badly acted deaths.

Wow. Yet another good installment & better than the last. Once again the writers smartly come up with new variations on the graboids (they initially launch at victims like footballs) & to keep things different, this goes back to the Old West - w/ a well-cast gunman- for its setting. Gross continues to be immensely likable (there's a touching scene where he softens over a kid with a bike) as an even more unconventional hero. There's inventiveness too (the saw kill & no creature dies the same

The chain finally came off this franchise... The previous movies were all harmless monster fun, but with this, it seems like the moviemakers really wanted to make a western, but could only get the money by making yet another Tremors...

It may very well be derivative and trite as all hell, but it's got a certain charm that takes over once you give the movie half a chance.

Back to the Future 3 with Tremors I guess.

It definitely does not tick any originality boxes but, instead of being predictably worse than the previous instalments, "Tremors 4" was, lo and behold, a surprisingly good prequel - even refreshing for the franchise -, benefiting from the 19th century setting, the amusing dialogues and the fun characters: Hiram Gummer (Burt's ancestor but portrayed too by Michael Gross), gunman Black Hand Kelly and Rejection's very likable inhabitants. The action is exciting - and the film's got a heart too.

Tremors returns to its roots in this fourth instalment (literally - it parallels the original quite closely), visiting the origins of the worms in the old west. Gross is there, obviously, but this time as a gun-shy, stuck-up businessman - and his hammy performance carries the movie, making up for the iffy story and action scenes. Overall the acting is a bit hit-and-miss and the soundtrack makes everything feel like an episode of Due South at times, but it's perfectly serviceable late-night fare.

Tremors 4: The Legend Begins is for the people who stuck around through one good movie and two mediocre-at-best sequels. It does one good thing, which sees Michael Gross return not as Burt, but as Burt's great-grandfather, who is completely different from Burt. That's funny up to a point. But the movie is dull, feels like a repeat of better scenes and elements we've already seen, and does nothing for the graboid mythos. It's a dull prequel that I didn't enjoy.

Before Cowboys took out Aliens, Michael Gross had worms.

Usually part 4 of a silly franchise goes into space. I think Wilson wanted to, but realized that such a movie already exists. It's known as 'Dune' or - in layman's terms - 'Lynch is hurting my eyes!'. So. Tremors 4 went back in time - and west - where the only entertainment to be had is the generic Chinese family that keeps speaking Chinese first - before repeating the line in English - no matter how stressful the situation. Dull, drawn out and not even 'hmm'-funny.

Okay, sooo it doesn't really have a plot. -- Well, that's quite alright... Alsooo, there's not much action. -- Fine, who cares. At least we have Michael Gross doing his campy schtick, right? ... Wrong! They actually managed to make him dull. -- It's horrendous then? ... Yes and no: In my book quiet ineptitude will always rank lower than amusing badness.

I would rank this a hair above part three but below the first two. The move to old west settings was a bit of a fun novelty, and seeing Michael Gross play a sort of otherworld weenie version of his original Tremors character. There are a lot of awfully dull stretches in the first half though; it was like if in Die Hard the terrorists didn’t attack Nakatomi Plaza until like 55 minutes in.

At least it’s not TREMORS IN SPACE… *nervously checks future entries*…. More of the same in new clothing, but it’s still fun, especially when spotlighting Gross, who at this stage throws all he has into this role, seeming to delight in providing a priggish variation on his more openly venal modern counterpart. Effects work has improved over the previous entry; while the supporting cast are competent enough, it’s a shame none of them really stand out from the pack, save ever-scowling Drago.

I can't hate this one too much, but it's not exactly an original or welcome direction to take a series that staves off the staleness of sequels by redesigning the monsters. But what entertainment was retained by doing so is gone. Now, it's your typical direct-to-video sequel, devoid of charm and value.

Sometime in the year 1800, a small village in a valley is suddenly attacked by huge worms that seem to just come out of the ground. Everyone is trying to save themselves and only the brave Hiram Gummer seems to have found a way to take out the worms.

This "Tremors" Wild West prequel is a curious, but mildly watchable entry in the series for fans of the franchise. The series goes back in time to the origin of Perfection, Nevada while coming full circle on the origin of Graboids in the area, and their life cycle from eggs to "Sand Dragons" to "Graboids" to "Shriekers" to "Ass-Blasters" back to eggs and repeat. Although the origin story of the Gummer family in Perfection is neat for fans of the franchise, the series is now visibly wearing thin.

What happened, this movie may have sank the lovable franchise. Seems like they made this one out of pressure. Shame on them.

What the hell were they thinking?! This movie is a big fuck you to the fans. The main attraction and the only thing consistent in the previous 3 films were Michael Gross' insane NRA character. This movie is about his granddad who just happens to be an east coast sissy albeit still played by Gross. No monsters, no plot and NRA. FOR SHAME! Next to Silent Night, Deadly Night 3 this movie is the slowest told story I've ever seen! More than once during this movie I shouted "DO SOMETHING. ANYTHING!"

For being a third sequel and a made-for-tv movie, the creators could have done much worse than this one which brings something new to the table simply by showing infant graboids an a 19th century community that has never heard of these monsters before.

Ok, meh can't describe how bad this is.

bad movie

Pretty lame film . On par with part 3.

The greatest last scene ever in a movie.
