Anaconda | 100 Movies Bucket List
This was one of the biggest surprises on the bucket list for me.
Because while I really like this film, just from a fun creature-feature perspective, I had no idea it was a cult classic, and so when I saw it on the list I was just really confused!
But nevertheless, I was really happy to give it another watch.
The thing that made me watch the film in the first place was how interesting the cast is. I mean, when you think of a cheesy movie about a giant snake, you don't picture JLO, Ice Cube, Owen Wilson or Danny Trejo, but it just works! They're so much fun to watch and work really well together.
I loved the setting - the visuals are great!
And speaking of visuals, while the visual effects aren't amazing, they're fun and really entertaining. Every time you see the anaconda, you just want to see more of it!
I think it's written well, particularly the 'villain', who could easily have just been thrown in for the sake of being evil. Even though we don't get to know the characters that well, we do get a sense of who they are outside of this world, which makes us care about them.
I loved that the stakes were high, people died (in interesting ways) and other than maybe JLO, anyone could have gone.
I've already said the word 'fun' but that's the only way I'd describe this film. It's not an Oscar-winning masterpiece, but it's a really entertaining way to spend 90 minutes and I enjoy it more each time I watch it.
