Review of Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004) by C. B — 22 Feb 2011

Sufficient cheap thrills and enough of the prevailing camp quality. Sublimely trashy, this conceptual sequel to 1997's surprise hit, "Anaconda," doesn't expect to be taken any more seriously than its schlock predecessor, and keeps its tongue-in-cheek thrills flowing rapidly. For all its improbable characters, wretched dialogue and stock situations, the movie has an earnest dumbness that sneaks up on you to be surprisingly entertaining. It's one of those "I-can't-believe-I'm-enjoying-this" kind of things.

VERDICT: "Rental" - (Negative to Mixed reaction). These films are only worth renting because of certain good things that are worth seeing, but are not worth paying at a theater to see due to bad things that overcome anything good.
