The only thing worth hunting for in this mess is the exit, and then maybe a quick trip to the box office to demand your money back. Go to Full Review

Max W @MaxthorWoo Jan 3 Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid closely echoes its predecessor in both narrative structure and conflict design; its production fails to deliver novelty or breakthroughs. However, as a B-movie, it successfully maintains the franchise's distinct campy silly sensibility and stays true to the series' direction. See more Lucky E @LuckyEddy Jan 1 I dont know why this movie is not more liked. Anacondas is unapologetically campy, but that’s part of what makes it work, it’s also surprisingly chilling and feels more grounded than the first Anaconda. The jungle setting is oppressive and tense, and the survival-focused story makes the giant snakes feel like real, constant threats rather than just flashy monsters. The film’s atmosphere does most of the work, using isolation, darkness, and nonstop danger to keep things uneasy. Even when the acting and dialogue drift into cheesy territory, the suspense rarely disappears. It knows exactly what kind of movie it is and commits to it. That said, the crocodile fight goes a bit too far. It crosses the line from thrilling into over-the-top spectacle, the movie otherwise builds well. Anacondas 2 delivers a fun, pulpy creature feature that’s scarier, tighter, and more effective than the original—especially if you enjoy your monster movies with a mix of chills and guilty-pleasure fun. See more Ash P @AshParth Dec 22 No surprise, with how I'd thought of this movie, it is bad. Simply forgettable probably the next day. You could say that this is my second time seeing this movie, and maybe it would grow on me to like it a little more if I were to watch it again. Yet I doubt it if I were to either be invited or if I'm in the mood to watch both this and Anaconda back-to-back. I will be giving Anacondas four den of snakes coiling in their own pit out of ten. 4/10. Don't worry, it's their habitat. Usually to warm-up or mate, according to the biography of snakes. Well, with two Anaconda movies down, two more to go before the remake. Note, these next two are gonna be my first time. See more Jelisije J @jjosifovic Dec 15 A sequel that does well with the limited material they were given. Its a bit corny and has some very wooden acting but I enjoyed myself surprisingly. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Oct 22 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Raymond C Jul 12 Schlocky, creature-feature fun.
