Showing us how this whole thing started was pretty good and having Michael Gross again as a wild west Burt but not so badass was pretty cool as well. I think this one is more comedy than action something that pretty much works this is a great franchise to me and i believe with each sequel it gets even better but i will always choose the first and 2nd films because the effects looked better and the cast was better but i have to admit it the effects on this one were so much better than the ones in the 3rd one it had cgi but not too much. Tremors 4 was a big surprise and i believe it was a great sequel to the franchise.

TheLittleSongbird I call myself a Tremors fan and have enjoyed all four movies. The first is the best of course, but the three films that succeeded it are flawed but equally worthy. This entry is the weakest in some ways, but it was still fun and enjoyable.I do agree this one is the slowest entry. Not just in the pacing, which is rather lethargic even for Tremors, but also the action which had its jumpy and tense moments but sadly seemed rather subdued and lacklustre. I wasn't hugely keen on the story here either, I loved the idea, but while there are some entertaining parts the slow pacing and lacklustre action made some parts drag a bit, while the direction wasn't as efficient as it could have been. Also I wasn't as impressed with the design of the Graboids this time around, they were great in the previous three but here they seemed too small and somewhat cartoonish.However, the cinematography is skillful and the scenery is beautiful. The sound effects are great, and when the action isn't lacklustre it does shock you and make you jump. The script has its fair share of funny moments too, and the acting particularly from Michael Gross is decent. Overall, it is a decent prequel, but it was a little messy at times this time around and lacked something. 6/10 Bethany Cox

Steve Pulaski The relationship Tremors 4: The Legend Begins and I have has long been a strange one, stranger than the original Tremors film going from a modestly successful, contemporary B-movie into a series that spanned three decades, a TV show, and an online video game. Tremors 4: The Legend Begins was never the sequel I craved to watch as a young child, totally invested in the universe of Perfection, Nevada and the biology of the Graboid. I always craved the first two films and watched the third film on special occasions, yet I was never drawn to the idea of a prequel to the franchise set all the way back in the 1880's. One faithful day when I was about nine, I settled into watch the film and shut it off after about forty minutes; the action wasn't there, the suspense was missing, the faithful characters I grew attached to over the course of the years weren't even a twinkle in the eyes of the characters, and, bottom line, the atmosphere felt all wrong. I put the film away and decided I'd never watch it again.About six years later, I tried once again, made it to the end credits, and generally liked what I had seen; it was a film I found pleasant enough, somewhat entertaining, but again, never really wanted to see again nor craved every year like the previous three films. Watching it for the third time, making it to the end credits of the second time, I'm caught between my downright hatred from my first "viewing" and the acceptance of my second to reach a point of indifference. Tremors 4 is a mediocre addition to a franchise that otherwise boldly worked with the elements of suspense and constructing biology of obscure, constantly developing creatures and an assembly of quirky but, for the most part, instantly lovable characters.Tremors 4 lacks that smoothness that made the first three films so investing, and doesn't really know how to assemble or make use of its time period without it seeming like a costume party. The film follows the town of Perfection, Nevada in 1889, when it is known as Rejection, Nevada. The town is a largely desolate, unremarkable town that is financially elevated by the silver mine, which soon becomes a dangerous location when numerous miners are reported dead or killed on the job in a mysterious fashion. To investigate, the mine's owner Hiram Gummer (Michael Gross), great-grandfather of the Tremors' franchise's Burt Gummer, a cold and mannered businessman concerned about his bottom dollar above all, arrives in Rejection.Hiram immediately gets acquainted to the townsfolk, to whom he is incredibly standoffish, before getting a look at the "dirt dragons" themselves. Before transforming into the typical subterranean beast we know them as, the worms are smaller, more land-oriented creatures, about the length of a skateboard, with spikes along their sides and a smaller head that resembles their Graboid successor. Hiram, Juan (Brent Roam), a mineworker, and Pyong Lien Chang (Ming Lo), current owner and operator of Chang's General Store, realize they're ill-equipped to combat the violent beasts, they enlist in the help of a skilled sharpshooter. The sharpshooter presents himself to Rejection as "Black Hand Kelly" (Billy Drago), an ominous figure cloaked in black and blessed with a quick trigger finger.Tremors 3: Back to Perfection was the point in the franchise when one could really see that the budgets for the films had become increasingly minimized and the fate of the series headed in the direction of Sci- Fi Network TV movies. Tremors 4 further reduces the budget to a real pitiful muddle of poorly conceived CGI and limited human interaction with the creatures. The combat and suspense elements included in the preceding films are notably missing from this one, sacrificed in favor of listless conversation between the characters that doesn't eloquently build character nor create any additional interest in the situation.Finally, there's the overall lack of spirit from the original three films. Those were movies that built off of one another, adding characters related to one another, providing epilogues to those who weren't in future installments, and linked together like an elaborate food chain. Tremors 4, aside from the connection to Burt Gummer and Walter Chang's market, largely feels divorced from the series all together, and although S.S. Wilson, Brent Maddock, and Nancy Roberts are all still a part of this film, a lot of the zest and the attributes that made the preceding films so watchable and easily lovable feels so subtracted that this might as well be a prequel made by total strangers of the series.Starring: Michael Gross, Brent Roam, Billy Drago, Sarah Botsford, and Ming Lo. Directed by: S.S. Wilson.

Boba_Fett1138 This fourth movie out of the Tremors-series is actually a prequel. The movie is being set in the time of the old wild west and again features Michael Gross in the main lead, this time as the ancestor of the character he plays in the other movies. He is actually the only actor out of the series that has appeared in all of the, so far, four Tremors movies.This movie is directed by S.S. Wilson again, who also directed the second movie out of the series. He is also the writer of all of the Tremors movies and served as a second unit director and producer on some of the Tremors movies as well. In other words, here is a guy that really understands the series. Yet the two movies that he directed are also the worst out of the series. Not that they are horrible or anything though, just a bit messy and less interesting to watch.The movie seemed to have a good and original idea with its main premise of making this a prequel but they did too little interesting with this in the actual movie. It actually takes quite a while for this movie for its action to kick in. The action itself is also less tense and spectacular, which is probably also due to the time period that the movie is being set in.But you can say a lot of negative things about this movie. Fact remains however that for a fourth movie in a series such as this one, it certainly ain't a bad movie. It's still being entertaining for most part and if you liked all of the previous movies out of the series, there basically is no reason why you wouldn't like and enjoy this one as well.A certainly decent enough movie. They are still playing with the idea to make a fifth movie as well and I don't see any reason why they shouldn't make it really.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
