Definitely a film that has aged extremely poorly, Anaconda's graphics and story, but especially those effects, just don't hold up very well. The part where the snake consumed one of the characters and you can see his form within it during a badly edited shot as the snake swims by is cause for raucous laughter. Then you've got the famed backwards waterfall scene that you won't unsee if you know it's there. The acting is good or passable, outside of Ice Cube. I'm not sure whose idea this was but I feel like when it happened and he asked was his character was, the director was just like, "Hey man, I love your music. I really liked Friday. Can you do that guy?" and that was it. It felt really out of place to me. The 90's were guilty of using black characters as comic relief a ton here, and I'll probably note it every time it happens because it's kinda shameful and should be put through the ringer. Scarlet - My anaconda dont My anaconda dont My anaconda dont hunt bums after its blown up some. Rating: 13/100 Snake - Why I chose It - Anaconda is the face of 90s monster movies, becoming a huge box office success and spawning a franchise consisting of 4 sequels. My Thoughts - Though it may get some favorable snake points from me, Anaconda is incredibly dated from its effects to its script to its cliche cast of characters. Jon Voight provides a bit of fun, but all of the deaths just look some like thick green pipe cleaner faffing about until a character eventually bites the dust. JONA - My Anaconda don't Jon Voight can be fun at times, but this just ended up being mostly forgettable for me --- Listen, suffering is a fact of life. Either you learn how to deal with that or you go under. https://i.imgtc.ws/2Q88rI4.gif <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:923774789] in Gauntlet C...
