Where to Watch Anaconda
- Paul WalshFebruary 14, 2026A giant snake. Ice Cube. And Jon Voight's accent all combine to create a fun escape.
- ZokkiieJanuary 18, 2026Pure dumb fun, and not much else. You can almost see the desperation to land a big name — I’m guessing Jon Voight got paid very well (or snagged a nice chunk of the box office) to show up and do the most basic performance imaginable, complete with what might be the worst Spanish accent ever put on film. Honestly, J.Lo’s ears must’ve been bleeding on set. That said, if you completely shut off your brain, it kind of works. Big snake, cheesy deaths, over-the-top reactions, and zero shame. It’s not good — but it is entertaining in a “lazy Sunday afternoon” way
- ርልዪረFebruary 2, 2025“It’s about this big mama snake!” That’s how I remember ice cube describing this film in one of the promo interviews and it’s stuck in my brain. I think this films great. Fun film with a great main villain. Some dodgy effects but overall good for the time. Crazy to see Owen Wilson and j lo together in a film near the start of their careers and again all these years later in marry me. At the time this was a 5 star film. Compared to todays, it’s a 5 star, must see, classic!
- Bryon Shannon SROctober 28, 2025It's a little outdated but it's still enjoyable if you can get pass that.
- CarterAugust 9, 2026Anaconda does not hold up as a good movie. Positives: - The Animatronics for the Anacondas themselves look good - The cast is super stacked - The kills are fun Negatives: - The characters are nothing - The performances are throwaway - The character decisions are stupid - The movie is so over the top and ridiculous it’s hard to watch Overall Anaconda is a really bad movie that I will never watch again.
- karellstemarieSeptember 24, 2025All star cast for 💩
- DoggesAndCattesAugust 8, 2026A redeemable bad movie if you find Jon Voight's acting unintentionally hilarious.
- Vincent NguyenJanuary 30, 2026Good for its time, some unintentional hilarious moments too. Liked this better than the 2025 reboot.
- Ray HopkinJanuary 29, 2026I sat down ready to watch the new 2025 movie, but realised I hadn't seen the original since it came out many moons ago, so decided a rewatch is in order! It's such a fun, goofy, B movie, and it knows it too! The cast is perfect (although I still don't know what accent Voight was trying to do!). As long as you accept the dated effects and not great dialogue, it's a great time!
- assassin007January 19, 2026My son and I decided to watch these movies and this one was good with a star cast. The effects are old but so is the film and it does not detract from the story.
- nicpedersonDecember 31, 2025Not great. Not bad.. An enjoyable cast. Good pacing. Visually satisfying. Definitely something everyone should watch, but with proper expectations.
