“That said, Anaconda is not bad enough to be one of the worst movies ever made. The tropical scenery is splendid, the snakes are impressive and the premise while daft was at least interesting. However, if I were to coin the phrase "absolute poppycock" I would give it to Anaconda. The story was interesting in its concept but it is very predictable with some unbearably silly scenes. Anaconda is also quite poorly paced, sometimes it drags, sometimes it feels rushed. The script is very cheesy and clumsy, and the characters are shallow. The direction is rather murky, and the acting is pretty dire. Jennifer Lopez is very bland in her role here, while Jon Voight is annoying and just awful with a very poorly written character, complete with a horrendous accent(not quite Superbabies:Baby Geniuses 2 ” read more

"First viewing - Feb. 19th Netflix There are some people who will try to tell you this is a good movie. Some of them will even go a step farther & call it great. These people are sadly misguided. Now, granted, I didn't see it when it was released, so perhaps at that time it seemed better than it is & in that case it may be nostalgia that's to blame. I went into it with low expectations, & found it to be laughably terrible. The characters aren't developed much, plus they're mostly stupid, which "

"9.3. Netflix Uusintakatselu. Pakkohan se oli. Harmillista huomata, ettei Anakonda tarjonnut enää oikein mitään, edes kunnollista nostalgiaa. Hetkittäin hyvää seikkailuelokuvatunnelmaa ja hassua hauskaa, mutta lähes koko keston ajan mietin vain, miksi olen yläasteiässä tästä salaa pitänyt. Ice Cube on vaivattoman cool ja Jennifer Lopezilta näkyy paidan läpi nännit. Varmaan siksi. Nukkekäärmes näyttää ihan hyvältä, mutta CGI-käärmestä ei kehtaa katsoakaan. En muista tu"

"En ymmärrä sitä melko vakiintunutta käsitystä, että Anakonda lukeutuu niiden elokuvien joukkoon, jotka ovat niin huonoja että ovatkin jo hyviä. Uusintakatselulla kävi ilmi, että Anakonda lukeutuu elokuvien joukkoon, jotka ovat niin hyviä että ne ovat hyviä. Toki matkalle mahtuu muutama ylilyönti, huono efekti, Ice Cuben pöhkö repliikki ja käärmeenmahassa käyneen Jon Voightin silmänisku, mutta silti, Anakonda on mielestäni erittäin dynaaminen, taloudellinen, näppärä pikku"
