Movie Reviews of Anaconda
Movie Review: Chuckles Galore
Summary: 3 Stars
Look, I'm more worried about a slithering snake coming up out of the john than a 40-foot anaconda devouring me (after breaking every bone in my bod), but if I want to be entertained by goofball campiness I'm going to watch ANACONDA. A group of tenderfeet "filmmakers," dominated by a scene-crunching poacher, floating down the Amazon while being terrorized by hissing CGI is a chuckle-fest deluxe. This flick is fun, and, after numerous viewings, continues to furnish ear-to-ear mirth: some of it intentional, some of it not.
The cast itself sends a searing message this is a movie tailor-made for nonsense. Jennifer Lopez and Ice Cube (or is it Ice Tea? I can never keep it straight) as documentary filmmakers? Knee, meet slap. Lopez excels in wet t-shirt shots, while Ice Cube shows some cred doing some serious snake wrestling. The rest of the cast includes Owen Wilson, who was even annoying back before superstardom, and Eric Stolz, who, for the most part, is unconscious (and it's his best acting ever).
But this movie is cut off at its knees (well, snakes don't have knees, but you get my drift) by the crafty, venerable Jon Voight. Playing a diabolical, seasoned snake poacher, and sporting an accent not even Mother Teresa would bless, Voight hams it up supreme, and makes us love every minute of it. He's charming, eery, smarmy, and evil; he busts a groove better than Bill Clinton at an Arkansas hootenanny. He's a perpetual chuckle-producing dude, and he makes ANACONDA a titillating woot 'n hoot.
--D. Mikels, Author Walk-On
Summary of Anaconda
This giant-man-eating-snake-in-the-jungle thriller definitely scores points as a guilty pleasure, especially with Jon Voight hamming it up as the monster-poacher. He makes life miserable for a team of documentary filmmakers on the Amazon river. Anaconda is one of those movies that exists for no other reason than to give computer animators a chance to strut their stuff with a new digital beastie, and they don't disappoint. It's a lot of fun to watch the mega-snake scarf down its victims and--in the case of Voight--regurgitate 'em right back up again, all covered in gooey digestive juices. You might wonder why Eric Stoltz, who plays Dr. Steven Cale, showed up for a role that requires him to be off-screen for most of the movie, but hey--when it comes to big snake movies, you might as well put your brain on hold and sit back for the slimy ride. --Jeff ShannonIn the search for a lost civilization they stumble onto a discovery that will literally take your breath away.System Requirements:Starring: Jennifer Lopez Ice Cube Jon Voight Eric Stoltz Jonathan Hyde Owen Wilson Copyright: 1997 Columbia Running Time: 90 minutes; Closed Captioned.
