• Clearly a bottom-feeder.
• This movie looks like it was no fun to make. It certainly was no fun to watch.
• It's one of those 'I-can't-believe- I'm-enjoying-this' kind of things.
• 'There's a way in. There's a way out.' He's right. It's behind you, right below the sign that says Exit. Just follow the stampede.
• Wisely prods not only ordinary phobias about big, bad serpents but also universal terrors of the dark, of narrow spaces, of drowning, of falling, of spiders and much more.
• The sequel might have the formula down, but it lacks everything that made Anaconda fun.
• After watching this film you feel that you've aged a thousand years.
• Coiled in clich it may be, but the film offers a reasonably good time for audiences, and it boasts a few cast members with promise, both human and primate.
• The supersize snakes don't even make an appearance until the movie's midway point -- and when they do, appalling special effects render them merely risible.
• Anaconda is the Citizen Kane of giant snake movies. Anacondas is more like the Gigli of giant snake movies, only slightly better because at least Ben Affleck's not in it.
• The refined taste insists on risibly bad, on hysterically bad, on poke-your-seatmate- in-the-ribs bad, and this falls well short of that hallowed mark -- it's just routinely bad.
• Precisely what you think it is: a workmanlike sequel to a thrill-kill flick that doesn't even pretend to be good.
• Director Dwight Little and a laundry list of writers (among them Michigan-born Jim Cash) simply deliver a generic hungry snake movie, and on those terms, Anacondas can be kind of fun.
• A lot better than a slapped-together sequel to a campy original has any right to be.
• I've seen Anaconda, and, senator, Anacondas is no Anaconda.
• Where the first movie had a fragrant odor, the smell, say, of Lysol sprayed in a gas station bathroom, Anacondas actually stinks.

  The snakes may be longer this time, but Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid comes up short on thrills.
• There's no J. Lo this time, no Ice Cube, no Jon Voight, no Owen Wilson.
• A programmer that once upon a time would have played on the bottom half of double bills, Anacondas has no pretensions and gets its little job done effectively, providing some small-scale laughs and chills for the late summer season.

The blood orchid - A rare flower that holds the secret of eternal life and a fortune to the pharmaceutical company that finds it. Led by a two-fisted soldier of fortune, a scientific expedition is sent deep into the jungles of Borneo to locate and bring back samples of the legendary plant. Battling their way upriver, the explorers brave poisonous insects, ferocious crocodiles and savage headhunters, unaware they're being stalked by an even greater danger: a nest of giant anacondas, voracious, fifty-foot-long flesh-eaters who'll stop at nothing to protect their breeding ground, the blood orchid's home.
