I own the original Anaconda on VHS, my mom and I found it back
in I think 2012.( I'll be honest, I'm not a huge fan of it but I do like it).
I think we got it from an acquaintance, anyway I just
recently seen this one a couple of days ago and I thought it was honestly a
pretty good sequel to the first.The boat captain's pet monkey named Kong was so cute, my mom and
I really liked him. The characters in this one aren't bad, they we're written fairly well, I liked the boat captain and at least a couple of the scientist, in movies like this you know at least one of them goes bad.The Anacondas in this are kinda cool since the film-makers didn't use
puppeteer-ed props the used full CGI effects for the snakes their was
one crocodile puppet-ed prop use in one scene which wasn't too bad.
Director Dwight Little did a decent job with this film, I've only seen
a couple of his films like Murder at 1600 which I own and I think
the live action film of Tekken but this film was alright I liked it.Overall a decent film, I liked that it was a light monster movie
and that it was in the same tone as the first.I give it a 4/10. A pretty good sequel to the first film. Give it a look.

A scientific expedition sets out for Borneo to seek a flower called the Blood Orchid, which could grant longer life. Meanwhile, they run afoul of snakes and each other.Some reviews are saying this film is "criminally underrated". Well, those people have no idea what they are talking about. The movie is apparently part of the "Anaconda" franchise, I think (this is not clear), and they could not even muster up a single B-list or even D-list actor to carry the picture.This was rather boring and did little to hold my attention. Maybe I am getting old and cranky, but I have seen enough bad movies in my life. Even SyFy, which makes the worst, has a way of often making them entertaining. This was bad and boring, the ultimate one-two punch of failure.

Where did the anacondas come from? A native snake species from South America, in the nation of Borneo, how did they get there? Back to the more important question, if ancient tribes people living in the region known as Borneo have passed on traditions and legends concerning anacondas for like generations, how in the f*ck did the snakes get there? The Amazon river basin is like thousands of miles away from Borneo. Do screen writers not understand how distance works? Is science not that important? Geography not important anymore? Do you not care about stuff having reasons for why stuff happens? What does anything mean anymore?

The original Anaconda was a good horror/creature movie with good performances from real stars and impressive snake-effects.This garbage, with a very misleading title,is so bad that I actually hate it. It's boring with a bunch of unknown actors playing cliché characters that are so annoying and so stupid that waiting 40 minutes for the first snake attack is torture.As for the snakes, they clearly didn't have the budget to make them convincingly. So most snakes are seen slithering under water. And the few times the snakes are seen clearly, it's really bad cgi. Two of the attacks are happening almost completely off camera. They didn't even have the budget for some animatronic snakes, so they show as little as possible. And after an attack a victims boat crashes and explodes. Apparently on a mountain side even though the boat was on the river. They couldn't even afford to show the boat crashing so the explosion is just bad cgi.And don't even get me started on the fact that they can get online on a river in the middle of the jungle. Avoid this!!!!
