Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
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.

rotten:
A silly and plodding Jaws rip-off about a 40-foot man-eating snake on the prowl in the Brazilian rain forest.

rotten:
One never questions the realism of the remarkable animatronic and computer-generated effects, but it's hard to credit a snake that screams.

rotten:
Anaconda is about a snake that eats everybody. That about says it all.

fresh:
Anaconda is such a classic combination of feckless dramaturgy and rampant excess that giving way to giggles is the only sane response.
