I was a fan of the Lake Placid movies and the Anaconda movies ever since I was a young child. I absolutely adore reptiles, and I thought hey, the two are going to battle it out? What a movie this will be!
Well, I was wrong. I have never been so disgusted with the characters of a movie in my life. My absolute pet peeve for this movie though? The leader of the college girls group (whatever her name is). This woman is the definition of a b*tch. Not to mention the absolutely obsessive and narcissistic Mrs. Murdoch. I watch these movies because I love the creature action, but the characters make it that much harder to even enjoy the film at all.
So let's talk about the actual creatures themselves. The Crocodiles are no larger than perhaps 8 feet. A very small comparison to the original Lake Placid monster. The anaconda does not seem to eat any of the crocodiles, rather it simply squeezes them so hard that they explode. In one scene the snake uses its tail as a whip that cuts a crocodile in half. What on earth was that?
This is the first film I have seen that I KNEW would be a cheesy piece of junk, but I wasn't expecting it to be THIS bad!
