4.0 out of 5 stars
fun and thrilling(but as deep as a puddle) (3.5/5),
By
This review is from: Anacondas: The Hunt For the Blood Orchid (DVD)
Anacondas is the second of the anaconda films,but is not a sequel tothe original.it is a stand alone film,and a fairly decent effort.in fact, i thought it was better than the first one.there are no cast members from the original film.i think the film takes a more serious tone than its predecessor with less campy elements.The action scenes are much more plentiful and intense.and instead of just one anaconda,there are several,hence the title.there is an ensemble cast,which are all competent,given the material.there an eclectic character mix here ranging from the likable to the not so likable and the completely hate inspiring.the motivations of the characters are well fleshed out,always a good thing.the film itself delves into the territory of implausibility at times,but there would be no movie otherwise.Entertaining,fast paced with some thrilling sequences,combine to make Anacondas a worthwhile experience.just don't expect anything too deep. 3.5/5

This is Why We Go to the Movies,
By L. Mintah "Author of the Heart" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Anacondas: The Hunt For the Blood Orchid (DVD)
Films like Anacondas 2: Hunt for the Blood Orchid are why we go to the movies. To escape. To forget our problems. Anacondas does not disappoint. I was enthralled from the moment I pushed play on my DVD player.The filmography is impressive. There are great panoramic shots of jungles and nice shots of the full moon that gave me chills. The score of native music lends to the mood of being lost in the jungle with a maniac and giant anacondas. The story is about a group who goes to Borneo to seek rare specimens of the Blood Orchid. These researchers believe the Blood Orchid has chemical properties that can extend a cell's lifespan, thus prolonging life. The expedition does not go as planned, and our friends are soon fighting for their lives. The little monkey, Kong, is so cute. He is a terrific actor. The director did really well to focus on him so much. The monkey's facial expressions, chattering, his toting goods, and his obvious emotion should win him Best Supporting Monkey. He lent a great deal to the film. The DVD extras have deleted scenes, trailers, and a featurette on how they made the anaconda effects as well as how the movie was made. The director and some of the actors speak about the making of the film. I think we could have seen more snakes. I just wanted one final, big showdown with the anacondas. 22 of 23 people found the following review helpful

Silly but loads of fun,
By Ratcher - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Anacondas: The Hunt For the Blood Orchid (DVD)
As dumb as it is, you'll no doubt be highly entertained by Anacondas, the far superior sequel to the 1997 original. This time around it's the greedy co-orperate types who are the real snakes, the reptiles are bigger and scarier, the direction darker and more complex and the fun level higher.I would have liked to have seen more people gobbled up but it's mighty fine, completely harmless fun for what it is. Anyone judging Anacondas as anything other than popcorn fare doesn't deserve to have their opinion listened to. 20 of 21 people found the following review helpful

SSSSSSSSnakes, Snakes Everwhere!,
By rhmoviemogal "russ" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Anacondas: The Hunt For the Blood Orchid (DVD)
The first rule of thumb with most nature-run-amok pictures is they have very little logic, but try to over explain itself to justify its star critter. Lucky for us, this is a sequel, so we aren't bothered by such things. A crew sets out to find a rare flower, but find themelves in a real snake pit of trouble. Again, like most sequels this one has to be bigger, and more. So, they are faced with a larger snake, or should I say snakes. They are everywhere! Lots of action, and plenty of goo and gore make this adventure fun. Still there are some attempts to overexplain things to manufacture a plot. But who needs a plot? Come on people! This is not 'Passion.' It's a snake movie. It is suppossed to not make any sense. Sit back, eat popcorn and enjoy.
