Viewing Notes
I’d never seen this sequel to Anaconda, but my library had it on DVD, so I grabbed it and did a double feature with the original.
With the exception of Morris Chestnut, the cast is pretty unknown, and I wasn’t expecting much, given the poor effects and goofiness of the first movie.
Wow, was I surprised! This is actually a pretty well done movie with good dialogue, good acting, and a reasonably realistic and interesting plot.
The creepiness factor on this sequel is much greater than the first movie, mainly because they keep the giant anacondas as a lurking, ominous threat more than shove it out there. Fear of the unknown is much greater than fear of the badly CGI’d.
