Advantages: the characters were good apart from a couple Disadvantages: the snake did not look very real
...Anaconda is about a giant snake that is 40 foot long and is lurking in a swamp. The characters are on a mission to do a documentary about the people living around this swamp and finding out how they survive until they find a so called stranded local. During the movie the Anaconda attacks the boat several times squeezing all the life out of all of his victims. The man who was picked up says he knows a thing or 2 about snakes, then when an abandoned boat is found in the swamp there is a picture of him in a newspaper cut out and says that he is an expert snake catcher and they slowly begin to figure out that his story was a lie.

...emblazoned upon their foreheads within the first ten minutes. You get to miss the hamfisted attempts at humour which would have a 5 year old rolling their eyes at how juvenile and misplaced it is and you will hopefully get to miss out on sitting through this heap of trash if you pay any attention whatsoever to this review.

major players in the cast - no surprises there.
If you do miss this film you won't be missing much!...
