Python 2 (2002)

Best movie ever!

Absolutely Fantastic

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Python (2000) BOMB (out of 4) Robert England plays a mad scientist who created a huge python that spits acid. I'm terrified of snakes, which means I usually have a good time being scared with snake movies but this one here was downright awful and ranks as one of the worst films I've seen the past twenty years. The acting is atrocious, the screenplay laughable and the special effects are terrible looking.Python 2 (2002) BOMB (out of 4) The American government brings home an eight-five foot snake, which eventually escapes and starts eating people. This is another horrid, direct to video horror movie but it's slightly better than the first film since this one here runs ten minutes shorter. Is that any kind of recommendation?

Can you say best B movie ever? well neither can I because that title belongs to reptilicus. But still the genius that went into this movie is astounding. Beautiful plot, great characters, and a perfect ending. Let's start with the plot of a romantic couple of some sucky baseball player and a foreign chick winning a romantic get-a-way to a Russian military testing site for super fast intelligent blah blah blah ... pythons and a crazy guy who looks like Chet Stedman from the movie Rookie of the Year or Keys from Predator 2 and his 2 henchmen Bones and Tattoo. And of course both parties can't just leave the complex because of fires and not one but TWO! pythons (how original). So their long elaborate scientific plan is to use dynamite to blow up the fire you know instead of something useful like blow up the snakes and safely leave. So they have the foreign chick somehow escape the complex and run about two miles away to go into the crazy dude's van. And wait it gets better, instead of calling for help or looking for someone that could help them she runs back to the complex to get back into an inescapable place. So of course they have to cross a bridge where the pythons are clearly both at the bottom of and they of course have the lovable Bones and Tattoo cover the front and rear that way they can be picked off with no inconvenience to the pythons. And instead of blowing up the snake with a few explosives they throw about 50 containers of C-4 into the fires. somehow it works and there is enough oxygen for them to pass but on the way out Chet Stedman himself unfortunately dies at the hands of the python. At this point I was laughing too hard to see the rest of this movie but it has become my goal in life to find it you can see the ending for yourself but guaranteed that you will love it a solid 9 out of 10.

"Python 2" is rather underrated in my opinion. Granted, the sets can be seen in many other low-budget science fiction channel projects like "Dragonfighter" and "epoch", the characters were stereotypical and the plot was absurd (How the heck are they going to train a seventy-five foot snake to do things for the military?), but the actors were competent, the special effects are surprisingly good for a television film (SpoilersAcid-spittings, soldiers getting bitten two, people being swallowed whole, a impressive-looking CG snake), it was generally inoffensive and quite watchable, I must say I enjoyed it. People keep bashing it, but remember..it's a TV film, not a big-budget hollywood blockbuster. Just ignore the few irritating flaws in the plot and I think you'll enjoy it, too.

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.
