The 1 box office hit follows a young film crew as they are hijacked by a hunter obsessed with a mythic man-eating snake.

Summary: Guilty pleasure
Comment: This is just one of the guilty pleasures I enjoy from time to time.
BUT, I just ordered this from Amazon and while it said it was the
widescreen edition, the full screen edition was shipped.
Now, there isn't a separate listing for a full screen on this site
so I'm at a loss as to what to do next, can't very well order it again
as I'd probably get another full screen edition to return all over again.

Summary: 2 stars out of 4
Comment: The Bottom Line:
With terrible special effects, a leaden pace, no interesting characters beside John Voigt's campy river rat, and a minimum of suspense, Anaconda is barely above the level of direct-to-video and certainly not worth watching.

Summary: Original Beautiful Cover vs New Ugly Cover
Comment: Mom and I were very disappointed with Amazon.com upon receiving this DVD. This page is deceptive: It shows the original cover of the movie (which we already had on VHS). We wanted to have this movie on DVD and looked everywhere we could think of to try to find an edition of the DVD with the original cover and not the cover showing the people. When I saw this page I thought this was it. Alas, we received the movie yesterday and when we opened the box it was the new cover with the actors on it instead of the beautiful snake. In my opinion that was deceptive advertising. Other than all that we have always loved this movie.

Summary: Anaconda
Comment: Do you ever get in the mood to watch people eaten by large creatures? I have for years. Not in real life of course but I love the giant creature SciFi movies. This has a decent cast with Jennifer Lopez, Eric Stoltz, Ice Cube, Jonathan Hyde, and Jon Voight. It is reasonably good and worth at least a rental. The story is a documentary crew looking for a lost tribe in South America heading up river meet up with a man that captures snakes. It is trouble of the worst kind for them as he heads them into dangerous waters where giant Anacondas live. From then on one by one the crew is killed off and he takes over the barge.
Voight obviously had fun with this role. He uses an odd accent and claims to be from Ecuador when he tells the crew about how he captures snakes. He does a great bad guy in this movie showing no remorse when someone from the crew that buys into his scheme is made into snake lunch. The special effects aren't bad but there are a few segments where you have to go along with the stretch of it being realistic. Overall great camera work and excellent sets with atmosphere for the shooting. This is one of the reasons many people enjoy this one over a lot of the other B movies that have cheap sets. Good quality DVD with some replayability. If you enjoyed this catch "Lake Placid" and "Congo".
