    Ohh, it's a Kill The Celebrities Movie!

    Anaconda turned me off of snake movies, but I decided to see this one because Casper's in it. My last impression of the movie during the credits was, "ohh, it's a Kill The Celebrities Movie!" It was fun to see so many celebrities, Van Dien, Englund, Wheaton, Zabka, but only ONE of them survives! The snake's special effects weren't bad as long as it wasn't a close up. Actually, I wish that the special effects for Mummy II (The Scorpion King) had been done as well as this snake (there was a joke). The gore (acid eaten bodies) actually looked cool and I was happy there weren't any close ups of those. The gore from the snake's death was less than I expected because of the scene's setup. It wasn't very climactic. But hey, maybe that's what REALLY would have happened. The very end shows all of the survivors six months later. There was NO point to that. I'd have expected to see some "hint" at another movie, but no. It was just, look how happy every one is after this and they've achieved all their dreams. Warm and fuzzy, but it didn't propel the storyline. Good Saturday afternoon movie to relax to after you finish mowing the lawn.

    Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

    I don't think I have ever seen a more stupid movie in all my life. Now I have to admit - I always - ALWAYS - go into a movie or video with my head and eyes open to everything. I don't look at the lighting or listen to the script or look for any kind a flaw in the making of any picture. But sometimes you just want to kill certain characters in this movie. Didn't you. I COULD NOT STAND THAT DEPUTY that kept on pointing the finger at the biker guy as the murderer of those people. This movie was just plain dumb and the ending was even more dumb. It was like they were all posing for pictures and talking at the same time. Acting 101 - this is what this cast seemed to have just finished before starting this film.

    Greatest Movie Ever!!!!! (ok just kidding!)

    Ok, so this movie was a piece of trash. The snake, which only appeared two or three times in the whole movie, looked like the graphics from a Super Nintendo. And the writing sounded like it was written by people from Sesame Street. And let's not even talk about the random lesbian scene at the beginning of the movie, (I don't even know where to start with that one.) But COME ON!!!!! WIL WHEATON!!!!! How could you not like a movie that has Wil Wheaton in it. This purple hair really did something for me. I know I would like to buy a house from some punk kid with purple hair. And that death scene. That should have won an oscar! It isn't everyday that you see Wesley Crusher butted into a wall and then eaten by a giant venom spitting Python. This is just a fun movie to watch. Watch it with some friends. It is a hoot!

    Worse than Anaconda, better than Boa.......

    This movie was OK, but it's no Anaconda. I didn't like the fact that the acting was horrible, there were some characters that you couldn't help but laugh at, and they set it up like a slasher movie. This is a monster movie, you can't put half naked girls running through a forest in a movie about a giant snake. The one thing I did like is that Robert Englund was in the film. He is the reason I even took the time to watch it. Also, I liked the gore(even though there wasn't much.) I recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a good laugh. Python II was MUCH better. Boa Friggin' sucked, and Anaconda is absolutely brilliant. By the way, go see Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orcid.

    Good Movie..

    I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.. Sometimes you just want to see a good scarey horror movie.. iee the old movie "Them" - It was a good movie.. Not believable, but I was on the edge of my seat a few times when the snake was chasing after a character or the snake had someone cornered..

    It did make me laugh a bit oo, but that is ok...

      Dr. Anton Rudolph: You have no idea what you're up against.

      Bart Parker: You don't know my men.

      Dr. Anton Rudolph: This is not some garden snake you're going after. We are talking about a perfect killing machine. A 129-foot all-terrain vehicle capable of speeds exceeding 50 miles an hour with skin that can deflect an antitank round, enhanced night vision and a voracious appetite for human flesh. It will slaughter your men before they have a chance to blink.
