An unbelievably half-arsed Jaws rip-off that some say has a kitsch entertainment value, and I might have agreed if it didn't take itself so ridiculously seriously. When Jon Voight is leering at J Lo he just looks like he's trying to suck cottage cheese through his teeth. Laughably bad.

Eric Stoltz plays an anthropologist scouring the Amazon River in search of that Long Lost Tribe of natives. He is accompanied by a documentary film crew which includes Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube and Jonathan Hyde. Their peaceful voyage goes horribly awry when they pick up a strange man (Jon Voight) on a sinking ship and the entire film crew is taken hostage by the insane hunter, who takes them along on his quest to capture the world’s largest and deadliest snake the Anaconda. Popcorn-adventure movie with average special effects, cheesy acting and an obviously fake snake! We have Lopez just before she hit her diva status, Voight hams it up as an evil poacher and oh yea, Owen Wilson is in this one as well.

One of those that would be considered a guilty pleasure by many. A decently fun time.

I thought it was a pretty good action movie. Great characters, alot of famous people. I thought Ice Cube and Jon Voight were really good. And that red headed girl was hot.

The special effects in this movie were really bad. I mean, the snake was very unbelievable.

I don't know why this film has such a low rating on here, but it's actually really good. If you haven't seen this film, go rent it or hell, even buy it. It's prolly like $5 at Wal-Mart or something. This has the most realistic looking snake out of all the Anaconda movies. And Ice Cube was the best actor in the entire film! Shocker?

For some reason, an unrealistic giant snake doesn't seem scary after living through sharks, aliens, giant lizards & apes, a guy in a hockey mask, a guy in a William Shatner mask and other freaks. I'm waiting for film about a giant womat.

Special effects and cheap thrills keeps this movie moving along in an amusing enough pace. The unrealistic nature of the movie makes it hard to get into it, but hey it?s a movie about a giant anaconda so what do you expect.
