	Anaconda 2 Film Review
		The 1st Anaconda film was not bad enough, here is follow up to the 1997 film Anaconda 2.
		Anacondas (also known as Anaconda 2) : The hunt for the Blood Orchid sees a B-grade cast replacing the cast of Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Jon Voight and Eric stoltz in the original snake thriller.
		As for the anacondas themselves, unless you suffer from fear of snakes (ophidiophibia), you are unlikely to be terrorized by the mix of computer- generated and real snakes.

	Anaconda (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was followed by the even-less-critically acclaimed Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid.
		The plot centered on a film crew for National Geographic who are kidnapped by a hunter who is going after the world's largest anaconda, which is discovered in the remote jungle.
		The film was critically panned, garnering six nominations in that year's Golden Raspberry awards, though no "victories".

	Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004), the sequel to Anaconda (1997), is a thriller.
		Their plans are upset by more anacondas and they find themselves in a small aboriginal village consisting of thatched huts with a dead and disembowelled anaconda prominently displayed.
		Anacondas are found in South America, not Borneo.

	Anaconda (1997)
		But Sarone is on the hunt for a giant anaconda snake and soon he drags the crew into a life-and-death struggle to capture it.
		The problem with the film though is that it takes quite a long time to get going so by the time the snake has decided to appear, it's a big anti-climatic.
		Films like this should be cranking up the tension with some scares (see Jaws) and tugging on your heart strings like Aliens.

	Film Journal 2005
		When the film attempts to be scary or atmospheric it is effective, but the film keeps making detours eventually tying the film in so many knots that it doesn't make a lick of sense.
		This film is far too busy for its own good, with the story within a story within a story that pushes its post-modernist fun to the breaking point where it becomes tedious and annoying.
		This film has a whole mess of tedious backstory before the Santa clothed killer even begins to attack and the first group of slayings were disappointing as suspense or gore satisfaction.

	'Anaconda' is so bad it's entertaining
		The film is a singular experience--absolutely incompetent, totally ludicrous, terrible in every respect, yet it is still the most entertaining thing to hit theaters in a while.
		This is because in tone, both films are serious and brooding, causing the technical imperfections to clash strongly with the subject matter.
		Well, this film certainly delivers the goods and, based on various reports, audiences around the country are getting the joke, which is only good news for the film's word-of-mouth.

	Movie Review - Anaconda
		Anaconda is a film about a documentary crew's search for a tribe of Indians in the Brazilian jungle, who are believed to be extinct.
		In the beginning of the film a barge, in the middle of the river, is seen with monkeys and parrots in cages.
		There is a scene near the end of the film where a large number of small snakes are seen in a boiler room on an abandoned barge.

	Anaconda
		In a nutshell, a film crew is assembled to film a documentary about a mysterious Amazon tribe that has been heard about only in myths and fairy tails (and B rated movies such as this).
		During the film I was often wondering why several of the actors participated in it, as some of them have actually produced respectable films in the past.
		Films that use second rate computers to generate effects are so obvious because the snake is blurry, has very "plastic" looking colors, and casts no shadows.

		The film is a thriller about real anaconda snakes, although the size, proportion and violence of the snakes seems to have been somewhat exagerated.
		A film crew set out on a journey through the Amazon to film a documentary on the discovery of a lost tribe.

	Stomp Tokyo Video Reviews - Anaconda
		Paul's equivalent statement is that the "river has a thousand ways to kill you." He, of course, is the film's villain, an avaricious snake hunter who has manipulated the unknowing filmmakers into becoming the bait for his next set of slithery targets.
		Too frequently, the monster effect in a monster film is too expensive or too hokey to show often during the course of the movie.
		Anaconda also informs us up front that anacondas sometimes spit up what they eat, just so they can eat it again.

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: Anaconda
		Anaconda is not an original idea -- it's a little bit Jaws, a little bit Alien, and a little bit Moby Dick.
		The entire point of movies like Anaconda is to get you from civilization to where the monster is. Once achieved, the point is to scare the bejeezus out of you.
		The capture of a live anaconda is his equivalent of the white whale.

		The low-tech “Anacondas” is the type of film made for direct-to-video release, so it’s a small miracle that it could make its way into theaters.
		The film plays even more like a Disneyland “Jungle Cruise” adventure than the original, if only because sweaty people talking about what they need to do to survive is a lot cheaper than showing it.
		Only brief glimpses of the anaconda are allowed, which is fine given the quality of the effect, but it keeps the terror and the suspense muzzled.

	`Anaconda' humorless and conventional (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		For its first half, the film's biggest shock is the cast -- stars you'd think were too respectable for such potboiler silliness.
		Stoltz gets to sleep through half the film when his character is injured.
		Indeed, Anaconda's biggest scares are the reality of smaller snakes and the shock of an emergency tracheotomy, in a scene recalling Pulp Fiction in more ways than one.

	FILM REVIEW -- 'ANACONDA' . . . HISSSSSS / Big snake is the new monster in rehashed action adventure
		The other is that ``Anaconda'' is so desperate and silly that here and there, it's a lot of fun.
		To watch ``Anaconda'' is to get the impression that there is only one snake in the entire rain forest and that it's been waiting its whole life for a chance to devour Eric Stoltz, Jennifer Lopez and Ice Cube.
		But those actors are mere window dressing for the main attraction of ``Anaconda,'' Jon Voight, who does to the scenery what the snake does to the supporting players.

	Anaconda . Austin Chronicle . 06-20-97
		Truth be told, Anaconda is a numbingly pedestrian affair, surprising no one (discounting the eight-year-old in front of me who thought the whole thing was "way cool") and really letting down those of us who came expecting a rip-snorting monster movie of epic, serpentine proportions.
		Sarone will have none of that, though, and instead embarks on a suicidal mission to capture the legendary giant anaconda that haunts the riverbed, taking the filmmakers, against their better judgment, along for the ride.
		In the end, natch, and the scene is nicely shot, to boot, but that can't save the bloated Anaconda from chasing its tail for a good 90 minutes before the bad guys get regurgitated.

	Anaconda
		The written prologue at the film's outset makes clear what kind of movie one SHOULD expect, when it tells us that the anaconda "will regurgitate its prey in order to kill and eat again".
		Anacondas might be big, but nobody's ever seen (much less caught or killed) one that got to forty feet.
		Some of the plot is a mess - in particular, the arrival of a second anaconda near the film's conclusion after the one we've seen so much of appears to have been removed from the action.

	DVDActive - Reviews - Video Discs - Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (US - DVD R1)
		This film tries a similar trick by planting another enemy amongst the walking smorgasbord, but the character is poorly written (such is the case with all of the characters for that matter) and the actor doesn’t have Voight’s ability to elevate the part above the script.
		Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid is presented with the choice of either an anamorphic widescreen transfer at the film’s theatrical aspect ratio of 2.40:1 or a 1.33:1 pan and scan transfer for its release on DVD.
		The film’s sound is crisp and clear, but I found too much of the film’s sound forced through the centre and front channels creating an audio experience that isn’t as immersive as it should be for a film that takes place in the jungle and features gigantic, slithering reptiles.

		In fact, when I saw this in the cinema, the audience was in fits of laughter at the very first sight of said beast.

	Review: Anaconda (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Much of the first half of Anaconda is devoted to building tension between the human characters as Sarone makes it apparent that he's less interested in helping the film crew than in pursuing his own ends.
		Despite all the time devoted to interpersonal interaction at the beginning of the film, we learn very little about these people beyond certain basic facts: their names, their jobs, and who they're sleeping with.
		The animatronic anaconda is okay, but the digitally composed version looks exactly like what it is: computer generated.

		"Anaconda" has a cast with some talented actors, a menacing monster, a scary unexplored jungle location, personality conflicts between the characters, and yet, somehow with all this, the movie stank.
		Another problem with the film is when plot elements defy science so badly that we cannot get past the film being a fantasy.
		I also liked the camera shot from within the snake as it ate a person, yet as was pointed out by my friend, it is pretty rare that a snake would be in a straight line for 15' or so.

	So You Wanna Sell A Script - Film Reviews
		Seeing ANACONDA for the first time in full this morning, I found myself utterly gleeful at the sight of Jennifer "Satan" Lopez slumming it in one of her early movie roles opposite a bloated, scaly monster.
		The much-referenced anaconda of the title appears in five foot sections for the majority of the film.
		Besides the snake, I began to get the impression about half an hour into the film that the whole goddamn movie was shot on the same quarter mile of river, kind of like in old cartoons where the characters would chase one another past the same end table and telephone over and over.

		While the days where films like “Alligator” where a dime a dozen are a thing of the past, a new reptile like “Anaconda” comes along and brings us the same cheesy fun that once was had with a mono speaker hanging from a car window.
		The film is presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen and as expected with the Superbit line of DVDs, there are no apparent flaws or imperfections in the transfer.
		It is a fun little film that is good for mindless laughs and watching it once or twice will not leaving you feeling cheated out of eighty-nine minutes of your life.

	Movie Database - tvguide.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The film's foreboding atmosphere is so efficiently established from the outset (cinematographer Bill Butler also shot JAWS) that when the crew comes across stranded snake hunter Paul Sarone (Jon Voight) -- whom their enigmatic, Brazilian riverboat captain Mateo (Vincent Castellanos) already seems to know -- you know there's bad trouble ahead.
		Voight's performance -- one of the film's pure, trashy delights -- is all leer, sneer and macho swagger, while the rest of the actors feel like the disposable snake-fodder they are.
		The animatronic snake is generally a nicely nasty piece of work, but can hardly live up to the revolting title card that tells us just how it kills its victims: First it crushes their bones and swallows them whole, then partially digests them and regurgitates them before finally finishing the job.
