Reviews
Obviously the cast and crew don't care that this makes no sense--they got a great holiday in Fiji.
So who is this movie for? Based on my experience at the theater, kids who just turned thirteen yesterday.
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.
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
It's fun to see the characters get eaten up. It's the people who remain alive and talking that may disturb the viewer.
these creatures attack strictly one at a time, so that Anacondas misses every opportunity to live up to its titular promise.
Funny how with each film the snakes get bigger yet the thrills get smaller.
Not especially tedious, the snakes were OK, and I understood most of the conclusion. The only surprise, though, was that I made it to the end.
Despite a script that borders on banality ... and Strickland's sometimes distracting emoting, director Little and director of photography Stephen F. Windon do an exceptional job of creating tension.
Se vou perder uma hora e meia de minha vida vendo uma cobra comer pessoas, quero, no mínimo, que a refeição seja composta por caras conhecidas.
Some people say nature is a good thing, something that ought to be encouraged. These people are stupid and should shut up.
