Directed by Dwight H. Little, Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid is the sequel to 1997's tongue-in-cheek Anaconda, though none of the original cast have returned. The film chronicles a fateful mission ordered by a pharmaceutical giant: to travel deep in to the jungles of Borneo, where a rare black orchid -- one that can be used to attain immortality -- has bloomed for hundreds of years, unbeknownst to man.

Clearly a bottom-feeder.
This movie looks like it was no fun to make. It certainly was no fun to watch.
It's one of those 'I-can't-believe- I'm-enjoying-this' kind of things.
'There's a way in. There's a way out.' He's right. It's behind you, right below the sign that says Exit. Just follow the stampede.
The sequel might have the formula down, but it lacks everything that made Anaconda fun.
After watching this film you feel that you've aged a thousand years.
...represents a significant improvement over its lackluster predecessor...
The character development is as thin as shed snakeskin.

Provides some unintentional laughs and genuine bursts of adrenalin, however hokey it gets and however Harry Potterish the snakes.
The featurettes are actually pretty informative...
Picks up pretty terrifying momentum once the jungle snakes get an urge to chow down on these humans, even if everyone on the menu is on the lean side
Strangely enough I actually liked this sequel over the first film which was a big surprise as I really expected a complete pile of nonsense and that would look pathetic. So much to my amazement I found myself enjoying the film from start to finish, yes the plot is basic and your typical group of adventurers taken down
