Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
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 Shannon
From The New Yorker
Luis Liosa's large-deadly-animal movie, set in the Amazon, doesn't bother much with exposition or characterization-it's almost comically impatient to get to the gruesome stuff-and the whole thing is over in an economical ninety minutes. Although it's refreshing to see an action movie that doesn't pretend to be something it isn't, this frankness has a downside, because what the picture so unapologetically is isn't, in fact, much. With Jon Voight, Jennifer Lopez, Eric Stoltz, and Ice Cube. -Terrence Rafferty

Inspirational.
Enough said. I am banking my future on this or someone will pay for real!
Jon Voight is scarier than the snake!
This is the essence of a great popcorn movie. Lots of fun, and things jumping out and scaring the characters, and the audience. The weakest part of the film is the Anaconda, which looks very computer-generated (because it is, of course!). The director wisely keeps the snake shots to a minimum, and the result is a creepier picture.
BROUGHT SOME MAD FEAR OF ANACONDAS!!!
who hasn't seen this movie. there's no need to describe it or explain it. just look at the cover. creepy enough huh? this movie was a okay. after this came out, everybody wanted to know about anacondas, how big are they really, do they eat people, etc. after that i'm guessing this film got a nice reaction out of people. jennifer lopez did nice, she's gotten better since, but her acting was good. ice cube, crazy man, nice job. owen, i like him better in comedies, but stands out nevertheless, and last but not least the man jon voight what a villian. great job. hated him, but loved him at the same time, very good actor. lured these people to the mighty anaconda, for the prize, he took control and never stopped. it was the good guys, against him, against the snake. the snake was so terrific, really enjoyed it, thought it was a thriller, and it left me chilled just to imagine. stay out of the jungle people.
