Too much of everything

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

best movie i've ever seen.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Hired for his transportation services, a former mercenary and his wife accompanying a secret convoy to a Soviet military base find it overrun by a gigantic snake and must battle the creature to get out alive.This here turned out rather decently overall, though it's better than might be expected. The location being kept in the darkened military base underground with its tight, cramped quarters and endless corridors always it to have a bit of a creepier feel than expected, especially when it winds itself up and really lets loose in the second half. That it focuses on the more traditional forms of suspense with its wailing cry off in the distance and being hidden away in the location makes these scenes far better than expected, and generally makes it quite exciting at times. While it does provide a nice body count within, the fact that the CGI for the snake is so ludicrous that it rarely looks realistic enough and really takes that away from the film. Also quite flawed is the fact that it doesn't really have a sequel feel to it, with little to connect it to the first one other than one character, and that's not saying much else for it. It's also got a tendency to fall into cliché far too often and feel reminiscent of too many other films when it could've done something unique with the material. That quality with the CGI, though, is the film's real true falling grace and what holds it down.Rated R: Violence and Language.

Forget King Kong. Forget Godzilla. Python 2 (or, as it is even more awesomely named in the UK 'SNAKES') is truly the defining monster movie of our times, perhaps any times.So awesome is this tale of man and reptile, in fact, that the distributors see fit to charge no more than £1 for it in bargain basement DVD buckets. So epic is it, that the producers avoided putting any of their or their actors' or directors' names on the back of the DVD cover. That there are no special features at all should be of no importance.Why, if you squint you eyes and smear your screen with Vaseline you can almost dare to say the CGI Snake looks real. The actors' performances are so virtuoso they barely move at all on screen. One woman was even included in the cast! The plot tells a weeping tale of tragedy and the folly of over-ambition, as the government (or, some guys with guns at least) try to recapture a big freaking' snake in a military base somewhere in Russia. Surely some social commentary on our times, friends.This movie will change your life. I haven't even finished watching it yet and I am moved to review it on IMDb.

Just like the first one, the movie was good, but in this movie the CG snake was better, they had more money so the snake ate people on-screen instead of off-screen. The acting was OK. But on the first movie...the CG snake wasn't good in a few shots. I liked the movie. But...the kicker is there is now 2 snakes, instead of one.that complicated it abit, e.g. how long is the new snake, how was it made, why is it there?. All together I liked the movie, my favourite scene was when the orignal snake was chasing Nalia.

Someone with Science Fiction clout, but no talent, in TV programming has decided that giant snakes, among the slowest creatures on earth, make frightening movie monsters. Well they don't. I dearly love monster movies, but these snake pictures are simply useless. This one follows the really awful, 'en vogue formula to the hilt, and straight down the slithery slope of utter ennui. In my estimation these "lighter than air, faster than greased pigs" reptiles are utterly without any redeeming "monster" qualities. The snakes are almost incidental to the film. They are so badly portrayed as to have no personality, and absolutely no sense of dread about them. They are mechanical vehicles of the plot, which is terminally boring from the first scene. The only character I even cared about was the beautiful Russian redhead, and that's just because she is so gorgeous to watch. It seems that the director just didn't know how to portray people with any sense of timing or reality. The characters, and the acting, quickly fell apart under vague and vapid direction. The plot was never in attendance. The film seemed to drag on forever as inept warriors pointed their fancy guns into dark corners, and blasted away at cartoon snakes to no discernable avail. The snakes moved much faster than the action. I felt that the director was simply trying to figure out how to prolong this mess long enough to eke out the requisite 90 minutes, sans commercials. It didn't work. Avoid this mess unless you are addicted to lovely redheads.
