del Toro gets a re-do
Now famous director Guillermo del Toro gets to cut his first American film as close as he can to his original vision and it's worth the effort - it's a terrific suspenseful thriller now that the damage done by the studio's ham-handed butchery has been repaired. The idea that you're getting that film bundled with it's two inferior sequels for the about same price as the original film by itself (I paid even less than the single disc version was priced at the time) make it a good buy. You might only watch Mimic 2 and 3 once, but the Director's cut is now good enough to justify repeat viewings.

So So
The original Mimic was great & would have given it the full five stars but Mimic 2 & 3 weren't really necessary. Part 2 was good & did extend the story a little while part 3 was totally UNnecessary. Highly recommend the original only.

The original Mimic is really the only one here
For the price, you can't go wrong with the trilogy but make no mistake, the original Mimic is the only one worth watching again. If you can slog through #2 and #3 you probably won't revisit them.
