"these creatures attack strictly one at a time, so that Anacondas misses every opportunity to live up to its titular promise. "  Movie Gazette  Anton Bitel

D-
"So who is this movie for? Based on my experience at the theater, kids who just turned thirteen yesterday."  FromTheBalcony  Bill Clark

"There's odd cosmic poetry in the fact that Dwight Little, director of Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid, also directed Free Willy 2."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

1/5
"This is a film that manages to take what should have been delirious camp fun and turn it into a struggle to keep any remote interest."  eFilmCritic.com  David Cornelius

D-
"I suppose it could have been worse: it could have been longer."  EDGE Boston  David Foucher

C
"It's a dumb pic, but it does what these type of escapist summer films are supposed to do--provide some silly thrills."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

.5/4
"Doesn't even fall into the 'so bad it's entertaining' category. As unscary, threadbare, and downright dull as these kinds of movies come."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

D
"This movie features a scene of a snake chasing a monkey, which is more than I dared hope for. "  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

D+
"Does not belong at a theater near you."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

D-
"The original 'Anaconda' was dumb fun; this sequel is just dumb."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

4/10
"Provides some unintentional laughs and genuine bursts of adrenalin, however hokey it gets and however Harry Potterish the snakes."  DVDTown.com  James Plath

1/4
"Who will the snake kill off first: the African-American comic relief guy, the nerves-of-steel heroine, or the treacherous British professor? Take a wild guess."  Slant Magazine  Jeremiah Kipp

4/10
"...there simply wasn't enough cheese mixed in with its crapiness..."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

"Funny how with each film the snakes get bigger yet the thrills get smaller."  Light Views  John Larsen

2.5/4.0
"If you just want to see giant snakes eating people who talk too much and need to die because of sheer stupidity, this movie is for you."  MovieCrypt.com  Kevin A. Ranson

3/5
"Folks, you’ll know whether you want to see this movie or not by the title alone."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

C-
"The CGI snakes are so blatantly computer-based that you expect them to occasionally pause and say ‘You’ve got mail!"  FilmStew.com  Larry Carroll

2/4
"When the snakes do attack, there’s not much originality or surprise to their methods. No one gets spun up and down like a yo-yo, or puked back up."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

1/5
"Se vou perder uma hora e meia de minha vida vendo uma cobra comer pessoas, quero, no mínimo, que a refeição seja composta por caras conhecidas."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

2/5
"Who knew the science field was so jam-packed with beautiful people?"  Filmcritic.com  Pete Croatto

2/5
"At best, it will come as a pleasant surprise to those going in with the lowest of preconceptions. At worst, it offers audiences a chance to get out of the August heat for 90 minutes."  Film Threat  Pete Vonder Haar

"So pointless and forgettable that you can hardly believe that someone was actually paid to come up with it and someone else was actually paid to greenlight it."  Critic Doctor  Peter Sobczynski

2.5/5
"Obviously the cast and crew don't care that this makes no sense--they got a great holiday in Fiji."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

2/5
"A Giant Snake movie that's bereft of thrills, chills, blood & guts is a sorry flick indeed. And don't even get me started on the snakes."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

2/10
"How ridiculous is this? They depend on cellphones that even work in the remote jungle."  www.susangranger.com  Susan Granger
