I've seen Anaconda, and, senator, Anacondas is no Anaconda. |

There's some guilty popcorn pleasure to be had from watching beautiful people get digested down into the belly of the beast, but don't expect anything fresh or inventive here. |

The movie does deliver upon the promises offered in its title, and little else. |

Yes, it's a terrible movie and a waste of millions of dollars, but the upside is that Anacondas is hilarious. It is a true contemporary B-movie and qualifies as such because it has no idea that it's a B-movie. It thinks it's a Hollywood blockbuster. |

There are so many greedy Americans fleeing giant snakes in this flick that it's hard to keep them straight. One thing's for sure, though -- they don't die fast enough. |

...if the film had cut any more corners, it would have had to borrow graphics from an old Intellivision game. |

Aside from a climactic giant snake orgy, we've taken scarier trips into the jungle with Tarzan coloring books. |
