This is a popcorn flick, a movie that you watch and eat lots of popcorn and enjoy yourself, cause Shakespeare it is not.<br/><br/>I enjoyed the movie, and I'm planning on buying the DVD.
I am not a filmmaker, but I could guess that the No. 1 rule of building suspense in a horror movie is not to give the candy store away too early. Sure, EVERYONE knows this movie is about a giant snake (which does NOT exist in the locale this movie takes place in) but by showing the creature so early in the flick it just turns the whole thing into "who-gets-killed-next?" There are a lot of things (SPOILERS AHEAD) that are just stupid in this movie - like going to Borneo to find a ship that would take them upriver and, wow, its captained by an American; it is the rainy season, but it only rains in like three scenes and only when rain is necessary to the development of the so-called plot. The acting is pretty bad, too, and the clichéd interactions between characters were tiresome. Halfway through I was wishing I had gone to see something else, but I stuck it out. I suppose it has enough to keep you in the theater, but barely. Avoid this one.
This movie didn't have to be good, but that it's so boring in its badness is tough to swallow.
