Anaconda is one of those movies you watch again late at night and think what's the big deal? It's not awful or merely good, it's just a bad 90's action movie.

The film is horrible but it does not belong to the worst. The plot is ordinary and boring, the scenes are very predictable, the characters are very confusing and the overall presentation of the movie is below par.

Felt like it tried to be Jaws with a giant man-eating snake instead of a Giant man-eating shark except it lacks the tension or at the very least the thrills that Jaws had.

Yep hope I never see any giant anaconda In person. I would freak the hell out. Probably pee my pants too lol. It's a ok movie, but the snake does look fake. Either way I hate snakes.

It's a fun film. Is it super fantastic, kick-ass, best film of all time, classic? No, not really. The best part is watching Jon Voight trying to capture the snake, then running away, then getting swalloed whole by it. Yeah, that was It's a fun film.

Not many scenes that are as memorable, though, but for those that are looking for a good creature feature after crap like Python and Some gator and croc flicks, see this. Better than the sequel, which, these days, after excellent films like Batman, but its even more kick-ass sequel, begins, and Spider-Man 2, you can't really say alot.… Expand

The special effects were terrible, well for 90% of the film. I started off OK and until half way through it was a decent watch, but the film caved in on its own complications. They went too far and over the top towards the end to the pointThe special effects were terrible, well for 90% of the film. I started off OK and until half way through it was a decent watch, but the film caved in on its own complications. They went too far and over the top towards the end to the point where you were almost certain the snake/jon voight was going to somehow survive the attacks that would certainly have killed them had the film been sem-realistic. Jon Voight was regurgitated and a snake survived being blown up. I'll give this a 4 down to some good performances from Lopez and Voight and a good start.
- Had it not been for the deterioration near the end this would get a 7.… Expand

A documentary crew heads into the Amazon rainforest in search of a lost tribe of Native Americans, but they soon find themselves fighting to survive against a 40 foot snake.

Anaconda delivers pretty much what you’d expect from one of these 90’s action/horror movies. The special effects don’t particularly hold up, but with J-Lo and Ice Cube doing their thing and Jon Voight putting in an entertaining turn, it makes for an hour and a half of dumb fun.… Expand

Can't really complain about the movie. It was about as good as it could have been. Story was pretty simple and banal, but still exciting. Lopez could have been worse.

Yeah, I was surprised, but this movie really felt kinda empty and boring. The anaconda wasn't very threatening, the action and suspense wasn't very gripping, and the only redeeming qualities were some decent acting and a few moments of fun special effects almost all of which they seemed to save for the last act. I was interrupted about halfway through it, and nearly didn't bother finishing it not a good sign for a movie. Overall, it's not terrible, but it's sure not terribly memorable either. More of a snakeskin than a real snake.… Expand
