I'll tell you why so serious

hyped garbage

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Can you say best B movie ever? well neither can I because that title belongs to reptilicus. But still the genius that went into this movie is astounding. Beautiful plot, great characters, and a perfect ending. Let's start with the plot of a romantic couple of some sucky baseball player and a foreign chick winning a romantic get-a-way to a Russian military testing site for super fast intelligent blah blah blah ... pythons and a crazy guy who looks like Chet Stedman from the movie Rookie of the Year or Keys from Predator 2 and his 2 henchmen Bones and Tattoo. And of course both parties can't just leave the complex because of fires and not one but TWO! pythons (how original). So their long elaborate scientific plan is to use dynamite to blow up the fire you know instead of something useful like blow up the snakes and safely leave. So they have the foreign chick somehow escape the complex and run about two miles away to go into the crazy dude's van. And wait it gets better, instead of calling for help or looking for someone that could help them she runs back to the complex to get back into an inescapable place. So of course they have to cross a bridge where the pythons are clearly both at the bottom of and they of course have the lovable Bones and Tattoo cover the front and rear that way they can be picked off with no inconvenience to the pythons. And instead of blowing up the snake with a few explosives they throw about 50 containers of C-4 into the fires. somehow it works and there is enough oxygen for them to pass but on the way out Chet Stedman himself unfortunately dies at the hands of the python. At this point I was laughing too hard to see the rest of this movie but it has become my goal in life to find it you can see the ending for yourself but guaranteed that you will love it a solid 9 out of 10.

below average sequel is weakly made and directed and plus it's not that particularly exciting and is dull to boot and the snake effects are really shoddy and has some lame flashbacks from the original the acting is so William Zabaka is really good here once again but this time around he is a lot different then he used to be SPOILERS!!!! you will see why near the end of the film Simmone Mackinnon is alright here and didn't convince me all that much and lets her accent do the acting Dana Ashbrook and Alex Jolig do alright Jolig lets his accent do the acting as well i really have nothing more to say other then Don't bother *1/2 out of 5 there is no one to root for either so all the characters except Larson are unlikable

There's a certain paint-by-numbers formula that these creature movies follow: the creature is always created by the military, which never makes any sense but we can live with it if the movie's good. The movie always seems to end up in a dark basement full of pipes. The good guys shoot the creature numerous times, but considering it's obviously added via CGI in post-production, shooting it never seems to have any effect. And then there's the half day of work they pay the pyrotechnics crew for, which is the last scene where the monster is destroyed. This movie follows the same formula, but overlays it with the Sci-Fi channel formula of having the characters behave obnoxiously and fight amongst themselves for reasons of, well, apparently they saw people doing that in a real movie once.In this flick, a giant snake is loose in a really small Russian military base. A team of commandos goes in to get it, but they need a truck to haul it back with. Yeah, you know, all that training, all those weapons, all that organization, and a 100 thousand dollars to throw around, but no truck. So they do something that this audience member really regrets: they hire an American truck driver to accompany them. So they get to the base and find that the 85 foot, 12 ton snake has escaped its refrigerator sized box, and since it's now obvious that they won't simply be hauling it back on a truck, they tell the truck driver to go away. Oh, if only he had. They even paid him the whole 100 grand, for doing nothing, and yet he still sticks around. What follows is the snake attacking these folks numerous times, and the truck driver whining and complaining about being put in danger. Didn't they give him 100 thousand and tell him to go away? He even punches the guy for getting him into the whole mess, but wait... he tried NOT to get him into this mess. Then he demands to know "the whole story". Oh please, please go away!That's what really ruins this thing, the typical Sci-Fi Channel obnoxious lead character. Leave him out and it would have been quite watchable.

This movie did a rare thing for me: it started out so badly that I was going to slam it, utterly...and then it got BETTER and I decided it was okay. I found that the main good guy (the mover of heavy cargo) was likeable due to his quirky origin story, and his Russian wife was cute. Also, there was a pretty solid plot link to the first "Python" movie.The lead good guy looked like a cheaper version of Bruce Campbell, but his acting actually got better as the movie progressed. The woman who played his wife was fairly convincing. Billy Zabka, who played the leader of the mercenaries, did the best job, rising above the material.
