Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Michael_Elliott 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?
Woodyanders The considerable box office success of the deliciously cheesy "Anaconda" not surprisingly inspired a rash of derivative, yet still enjoyable low-budget direct-to-video cash-in copies. These rip-offs include the none too shabby "King Cobra," the exceptionally fine and intelligent "Komodo," and this snazzy little over-sized mutant killer snake outing. Once again your standard unscrupulously ambitious scientist (a neatly quirky and understated portrayal by the always excellent Robert Englund) has created one hell of a fast, deadly, impossible to destroy genetically enhanced people-gobbling monstrosity, a vicious python which escapes from its cage and goes on the expected mankind-noshing spree in a tiny podunk hamlet. It's up to cocky ramrod government agent Parker (sternly played by tight-lipped latenight cable fare topliner Casper Van Dien) to eradicate the bloodthirsty beast before things get to out of hand.Proficiently directed by Richard Clabaugh, with slick cinematography by Patrick Rousseau, an effectively spare and moody hum'n'shiver score by Daniel J. Nielsen, and across-the-board sturdy acting from a uniformly solid cast, "Python" transcends the hackneyed plot by virtue of its uncommonly sound execution alone. The bright script by Chris Neal, Paul J.M. Bogh, and Gary Hershberger has fun playing around with the standard fright film conventions, with the saucy lesbian variant on the inevitable have-sex-and-die libidinous couple cliché rating as an especially nifty touch. Better still, the unusually well-drawn and plausible characters are firmly grounded in a certain gritty everyday blue collar reality, the crummy CGI effects are amusingly tacky, and the picture commendably takes its time carefully setting up a spooky tone in the opening first act before cutting loose with an increasingly jolting series of lethal lizard attack scenes. Sexy Jenny McCarthy vamps it up delightfully as the shameless town tramp. A barely recognizable Will Wheaton contributes a likable turn as a scruffy slacker dude. Veteran character actor Ed Lauter has a nice unbilled bit part as an ill-fated army airplane pilot. Compact and smartly realized, "Python" sizes up as a pleasing and up-to-par creature feature.
lastliberal What could be the greatest feature of this movie? Could it be the creepy performance of Robert Englund (soon to be seen in Zombie Strippers)? He is always enjoyable.Could be be the wacky performance of Jenny McCarthy (soon to be seen in Wieners)? She just can't seem to keep her head on straight.Could it be the interruption of a lesbian camping trip by something long and mysterious? No, the best feature of this movie was the towel that Theresa (Sara Mornell) somehow got and wrapped around her after the Python did a Psycho and interrupted her shower. When baby shampoo and a rubber ducky didn't stop the snake, which no one else seemed to be able to escape. She manges to grab a towel and get it wrapped around her while the monster was attacking, get by the snake, run through the basement and the house, get in a car, drive speeding down the road with the snake on her tail, crash the car and run into the rocks - and she never lost that towel! Other than that, it was pretty lame and predictable.
damoviecritic Python is not a film that can be fairly rated based on normal film standards. Instead it must be rated on what are called "party standards." Party standards represent how much fun you would have watching this film at a crazy party. From the opening Lesbian scene (my name is Roberta), to Kenny the Closer's attempt at an affiar, Python is an absolute blast to watch with friends. Unfortunately, I must rate it based on normal movie standards. The acting is below Uwe Boll standards. The special effects are far below Uwe standards. The whole movie is something that would've come out of Uwe Bolls butt on a bad day. The attempts at comedy are much funnier than intended. The attempts at horror are funnier than intending. The attempts at drama aren't there. The whole movie is bad, bad, bad. But go ahead. Rent it with a bunch of your friends. Just prepare yourself for a film that has a better chance of killing you with excessive laughter than Borat.
