Boa vs. Python Trailers

After an overly ambitious businessman transports an 80-foot python to the United States, the beast escapes and starts to leave behind a trail of human victims. An FBI agent and a snake specialist come up with a plot to combat the creature by pitting it against a bioengineered, 70-foot boa constrictor. It's two great snakes that snake great together!

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I will start by saying, I was anticipating worse. Any low-budget film that has vs in the middle of its title, and I know from experience from watching the likes of Dinocroc vs Supergator, leaves me dubious. While not a good or great movie, there is something watchable about it. Visually, it actually doesn't look all that bad, the photography and editing are quite good, quite a remarkable feat seeing as I saw several low-budget movies in a row where they were problematic, and the effects, excepting the ridiculously over-sized python, while not great as such are a cut above the cheaply rendered ones I've seen recently. The locations are also quite striking. However, the script reeks of cheese and is incredibly amateurish, the story is illogical and sluggish complete with unconvincing action scenes and one underwhelming and tension-less battle between the snakes and the characters are stereotypical and made to do moronic things. The acting is also pretty poor, some of the actors are attractive but not much is done to go beyond that. In conclusion, a bad movie but not quite bad enough to be a terrible one. 4/10 Bethany Cox

To truly appreciate films like this, you just have to approach them at the right angle! The film is crap...yes. The CGI is laughable, the plot is none-existent and (aside from David Hewlett who makes the most of what he has) the acting is atrocious. But this film (along with other such gems as Charlies Angels: Full Throttle and...well...pretty much any film with Arnold Swachenegger or William Shatner in it), is just one of those SO EXCRUCIATINGLY AWFUL movies that go through the boundaries of crap into hysterically funny. I guarantee that if you watch this film with a few other guys or gals who are in the mood for it, you will find it as funny as I did.How can any film with these lines be bad?: "That snake is big. Big is good.", "God I hate you son." and "Guys like that, they get what they want. their own casinos, a hot biscuit like her, and now he's getting the first shot at killing our snake. F**ck that!" I rest my case.

I was looking forward to this movie, because I loved Python and thought Boa was okay. Unfortunately, these are two completely new snakes, and it has absolutely NOTHING to do with Boa (aka New Alcatraz), Python, or Python 2 (although that may be a good thing considering how much that one sucked). It does keep the spirit of Python 1 alive, being rather tongue-in-cheek and not taking itself too seriously like Python 2 did. Also, the cover is LIES. The snakes fight for about 10 minutes. There's plenty of other stuff happening, but when the movie is called Boa vs. Python you wanna see a Boa fighting a Python dangit! Still a fun movie, but don't expect the kind of action the cover promises.

by making me truly appreciate the power of a horrible film. This was the first poor film I saw, but certainly wasn't the last."Say, Billy! I hear you want to make a movie. Well, sit back and I'll give you a few pointers about movie making: Your female protagonist should be sexy, and, if possible, loose her top at least once during the film. This will keep your bored audience at attention, waiting for another possible slip. Well, if they're male. Millionaires are idiots, all of them. Remember, they may have displayed some prowess making their fortunes by their late 20s and early 30s, but it was all luck. Leave a few questions unanswered, and try to stuff a sex scene in somewhere. Running out of money for your budget? Buy off a few minor folks to serve as actors. Models will serve. Beef up those graphics. Remember, the government is incompetent on how to deal with monsters."Seriously, this film deserves a place in your hall of fame. I originally watched it on the Sci-Fi channel, and, despite the poor quality, kept watching it in hopes that the lovely Jaime Bergman would show more of herself. It starts out somewhat believable. This rich young man (trying to pose himself as a tough guy) and his sexy, masculine girlfriend are hanging out. Eventually, the girl pulls out a gun, and the two of them hop up to boink. These two morons have a bunch of equally stupid friends who are all ready and willing to hunt a huge reptile, which is brought in from outside the country. Their posse is a bunch of clichéd, flat characters with nothing deeper than their accent and costumes. Over the course of the film, they all die, Jaime and a stupid snake raiser release a big snake to slither off and slaughter the enemy snake, the Python. Well, it ends up with one guy with a flame thrower killing some folks for no reason, getting eaten, then the Python dying in a subway. The Boa just kind of disappears.Ultimately, this film ends up being on a flimsy basis, with some crappy acting, poorly developed characters, and a more or less "by-the-book" storyline. By which, I mean, good guy gets the girl out of his league. This is all complete with the normal incompetence of FBI and government agents, since civilians are much more able to deal with a major crisis.It's all just a reason to show two snakes fighting each other. Over all, there were four valuable things I took from the film, and carry with me.1) A nice bikini shot, and some brief nudity.2) Every Sci-Fi Channel movie follows the same basic plot, and are chocked full of red shirt characters.3) A fun new game to play with my girl friend. ("Hey, how do you catch a 100 foot snake?" "Get a bigger snake!" (By the way, the Boa, who was supposed to capture the Python, was actually smaller... and the Python wasn't 100 feet.))4) An appreciation for crappy works of 'art', such as poor video games and movies. And for people who enjoy poor movies for the comedy, this gains around a 7/10. However, for the mainstream, 2/10
