Good concept, poorly executed.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The anaconda series is an interesting one for me. While it's definitely not a good series, it has its moments and is mostly harmless fun. However, in terms of comparing the first film and this one, for all its faults I'd actually say this one is the superior film.Yes, despite being set in Borneo where anacondas don't live, this film takes itself a lot more seriously than the first one. Dwight Little I'm a big fan of, and his style is definitely present throughout. The acting too for the most part is pretty good and it's beautifully shot. I don't think I've ever seen such a rich jungle environment. The snake effects too look so much better than the first one and, admittedly quite shockingly, this movie answers some logic questions from the first movie, the main one being how are these snakes growing so big/killing so many people so quicklyAll in all it's not a great movie, but it's still pretty enjoyable

This is a very scary movie. The original Anaconda is very scary. But this sequel is scarier. This a very scary movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. If you do not get scared of this movie then no movie will scary you. Some scientist go into Amazon in find an Orchid that they think could be cure for cancer. They find group of big man eating snakes. This is very scary. One mistake they made is that there are no tigers in South America. But still no big deal. This a such a cool movie. That is should be no big deal. This movie is a must see. It is very intense. You my not want to watch it alone. Try not to scream in terror. If you thought the The Exorcist was the scariest movie ever made. You could be in for a surprise.

The first Anaconda was exceptional with a realistic created puppet version of the snake, some eye candy courtesy of 'Jennifer Lopez',the creepy portrayal of an out of control frantic by 'Jon Voight' and 'Ice Cube' whom supposedly was to spark some flavor to the movie.Despite the not so good storyline it all worked well and the movie was a box office success.But then the sequel came through with a well written storyline,catchy dialog and not so famous actors whom all were heading for the biggest break in the careers had the movie become a hit.The atmosphere was well groomed as the audience worldwide was anticipating a sequel where there would be more snakes and more people to feed from, but the latter failsMake no mistake though as the plot unfolds well with good characterization 'although some of the actors depiction of the characters were too bogus as well as aggravating such as 'Jonny Messner' as 'Bill Johnson' in the lead role',who was intended to be atrocious and charming,but turned out to be more misplaced and feeble.The only convincing actor was 'Eugene Byrd' as 'Cole' who turned out to be in the wrong movie.The production design was terrific.The action is far too over the top especially the scene with the crocodile and the snakes movements are too unbelievable making the movie fade away from its original concept of using puppets.It doesn't build up and creep up on you as its predecessor and other movies of animals attacking people like 'Jaws'(which was done on a shoestring budget),'The Ghost & The Darkness' (which is packed with the fright and the seriousness of a jungle horror adventure).Instead what the director 'Dwight Little' wanted to achieve turns into humor as it all happens too fast and leaves a lot to the mind.I found myself laughing most of the time than having the lights scared out of me and wanting to know when will it end.Anaconds 2 could have worked well as a comedy instead.I recommend it for those who are looking for an adventure but with nothing serious in mind and very forgettable.

I honestly can't understand why so many people hate this movie. Sure, not very many people die, in Anacondas, all but three were left! But this film spaces out the deaths perfectly to build suspense. Another criticism is that anacondas and tigers aren't native to Borneo. But, if you were to take movies like independence day and Jurassic park for inaccuracies and plot holes, you would have much longer lists than anacondas. This film remains one of my favorite movie purchases, at 3 dollars, along with toy story 2, which I got for only a dollar, because it was missing the bonus disc. But the only reason I really wanted to see this movie was because I saw an ad for dish that advertised it. When I finally saw anaconda several years later, I remembered the ad and rented it. (Actually, it isn't an official sequel.) Although the cover was neat, the tagline and the title were cheesy. However, upon watching, I noticed that the director was Dwight h. Little, the man behind how awesome Halloween 4 was. He made it realistic, but other films, 5 and 6 for example, don't feel like the setting is Illinois. The acting was superb, with a cast playing cringing and squeamish executives, scientists and researchers. The special effects are awesome, and in my opinion, this film is better than anaconda because it is more believable and suspenseful. Okay, in my opinion, there are few creature features worth watching. Jaws, jaws 2, deep blue sea, python, anaconda, abominable, arachnophobia, the Jurassic park trilogy, red water and the carnosaur movies (guilty pleasures) and anacondas: the hunt for the blood orchid.
