Anacondas: The Hunt For The Blood Orchid movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Director Dwight Little and a laundry list of writers (among them Michigan-born Jim Cash) simply deliver a generic hungry snake movie, and on those terms, Anacondas can be kind of fun. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: Anaconda is the Citizen Kane of giant snake movies. Anacondas is more like the Gigli of giant snake movies, only slightly better because at least Ben Affleck's not in it. Read more
Ellen Fox, Chicago Tribune: It's little better or worse than the original. But, to be honest, the original -- minus its nascent stars -- wasn't very good. Read more
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times: Wisely prods not only ordinary phobias about big, bad serpents but also universal terrors of the dark, of narrow spaces, of drowning, of falling, of spiders and much more. Read more
Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle: The sequel might have the formula down, but it lacks everything that made Anaconda fun. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: This movie looks like it was no fun to make. It certainly was no fun to watch. Read more
Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic: As a junky B-movie thriller, it could have been a lot worse. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: Where the first movie had a fragrant odor, the smell, say, of Lysol sprayed in a gas station bathroom, Anacondas actually stinks. Read more
Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times: A ride that's more fun than Disneyland's Jungle Cruise. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: A lot better than a slapped-together sequel to a campy original has any right to be. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: There's no enjoyably outlandish hiss to this variation on the formula. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: The refined taste insists on risibly bad, on hysterically bad, on poke-your-seatmate- in-the-ribs bad, and this falls well short of that hallowed mark -- it's just routinely bad. Read more
Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News: A hokey, old-school creature feature that will appeal to fans of the original and connoisseurs of enjoyably absurd movies. Read more
Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly: It's all tease and no payoff. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: One presumes [the original's cast] had better things to do than revisit old saw-toothed friends. Unless you have some empty hours to fill with swampy slush, you may decide you've better things to do as well. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: Coiled in cliche it may be, but the film offers a reasonably good time for audiences, and it boasts a few cast members with promise, both human and primate. Read more
Robert Dominguez, New York Daily News: The snakes may be longer this time, but Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid comes up short on thrills. Read more
Dave Kehr, New York Times: A programmer that once upon a time would have played on the bottom half of double bills, Anacondas has no pretensions and gets its little job done effectively, providing some small-scale laughs and chills for the late summer season. Read more
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: After watching this film you feel that you've aged a thousand years. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: I've seen Anaconda, and, senator, Anacondas is no Anaconda. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: '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. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: There's no J. Lo this time, no Ice Cube, no Jon Voight, no Owen Wilson. Read more
Scott Foundas, Variety: Pic works consistently on the level of Corman-esque popcorn entertainment thanks to the efficiency, energy and lightness of touch of helmer Dwight Little and his game cast. Read more
Ben Kenigsberg, Village Voice: Clearly a bottom-feeder. Read more
Jen Chaney, Washington Post: Once this movie's momentum gets going, watching it is like experiencing a schlocky monster movie, Lord of the Flies and Peter Gabriel's Shock the Monkey video all at once. Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: It's one of those 'I-can't-believe- I'm-enjoying-this' kind of things. Read more
