Critics Consensus

Anaconda's pulpy pleasures are constricted by its own absurdity, but creature feature fans may enjoy its brazen silliness.

Carol Buckland CNN.com The monster looks like a maniacal garden hose in a couple of sequences. Still, it delivers the necessary thrills and chills. Jan 5, 2018 Full Review Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Anaconda, directed by Luis Llosa with all of the subtlety of a snake-oil salesman, is in the great tradition of cinematic cheese, as processed as Kraft Singles slices. Rated: B- Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety A silly and plodding Jaws rip-off about a 40-foot man-eating snake on the prowl in the Brazilian rain forest. Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Anaconda brandishes its goofiness like a sword, ready to cut down any naysayer who dares utter a derogatory word. Certainly, the daftness is part of the film’s charm, but it can never rise much above the level of a disposable lark. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 2, 2024 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...a cult monster movie, stands up remarkably well for a killer snake story from years ago, not least because of some killer casting; you wouldn’t get this kind of crew on a monster movie these days... Rated: 3/5 Feb 18, 2024 Full Review Akos Peterbencze Vulnerable Man (Medium) Anaconda is bonkers (yes), but it's also consistent and cohesive in a self-conscious manner, embracing every ridiculous and over-the-top insanity that made it a cult classic over the years.

Todd B A great classic snake movie about that predator, and what prey it desires. All star cast, and the spotlighted appearance of Eric, when I didn't know who he was. The Mask, 1985. I think that we had gotten this from Columbia House, back then. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review Peter G A literal creature feature masterpiece. Snakes are scarier than evil clowns - we need more giant snake films! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Stone C While it’s not a great movie I still love to watch it from time to time. It’s a fun movie to smoke & eat popcorn to. The animatronics are bad but it was the 90s. The cast is great & really the best part of the film. Totally a Jaws ripoff but there’s fun in that. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review Dan D This movie is so bad. Jon Voight's accent is horrible. The snake version of Jaws, but wow...not good. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Stephen C Seriously? ****ing ***holes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/14/25 Full Review Rob A A campy cult classic monster movie with an all-star cast; more people enjoyed Anaconda than are willing to admit.
