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.

This is a film that manages to take what should have been delirious camp fun and turn it into a struggle to keep any remote interest.

Provides some unintentional laughs and genuine bursts of adrenalin, however hokey it gets and however Harry Potterish the snakes.
