I'm watching this movie for my next review and it seems like an interesting movie at first glance.  I'm just starting it right now and curious to hear what your thoughts are about the film.  It looks like it combines CGI and puppetry for the snake effects and it has a rather recongizable cast.  Last thing to note is that fascinatingly enough, Roger Ebert gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, but also gave the same thing to Congo.

This movie has bad CGI and the scene where we see the snake underwater with Owen Wilson in it's belly looks stupid and very fake.

I hated this movie. It has one decent looking kill scene, but the rest is garbage with awful CGI. Just a pathetic vehicle for J-Lo's pathetic acting career.  Thumbdown

For a movie that got a theatrical release, I think it compares poorly to the majority of direct-to-video giant snake movies out there.  At least they're usually schlocky enough to be entertaining.

I liked it.  It was campy and Jon Voight was pretty over the top.

I saw it once after it came out on video and I remember hating it.  There is a funny scene that occurs after the boat becomes immobilzed near a waterfall; when the boat gets moving again, the shot of it backing away from where it was stuck is the same shot in reverse (the waterfall is rising up!).

Although this sucks, the second movie is great.

So true. Jon Voight is the only reason to watch Anaconda.

I know I've seen it, but I don't remember anything at all - I guess that's a bad sign. Or, wait, doesn't Ice Cube get eaten by an anaconda? Or does he survive?

I believe he survives.

Yes, he survives, which goes against the film stereotype that the black actor in the film always dies. But (IMHO) having seen any number of films with Jon Voight, any film in which Voight gives a bad performance, and again (IMHO) his performance is pretty poor is just a bad film and not in a good way.

I have no idea why Jon Voight attempted that ridiculous accent.  It's almost as bad as the one Nick Nolte used in LORENZO'S OIL.
