The chroma key looked horrible in the car. The effects were cheesy and far less than convincing than all the other films in this series but had a certain charm to them. I actually thought that the sound was okay. It was far better than expected. Enough rambling, it's a god- awful movie that should never have been made.
... View MoreA mercenary-for-hire accepts a mission from a billionaire to capture a dangerous snake that could possibly help cure a terminal illness.What really makes or breaks this film is the awful CGI. And it breaks it, big time. The plot is okay, and the blood and gore are far better than you might expect (though some of the blood is so fake as to be comical). Those snakes... so terrible. And they do not even try to hide it, putting them on screen almost as much as possible. You can do better than that.The selling point of the film is David Hasselhoff. I am not sure how often you can say that, butt it is definitely true in this case. His character, although really more of a secondary role, is redeeming and entertaining. He loves to bite cigars and not smoke them.

View MoreDavid Hasselhoff as a wise-cracking tough guy, a semi-hot blonde kicking people's asses, Romanian bit players who clearly learned their lines phonetically and the best special effects Windows '95 can give you, what more can you really want from a drunk Friday evening? Obviously creature features are just a matter of connecting the dots, but "Anaconda 3" does so in very entertaining ways. Just take the first dot for example: the part where you sorta have to explain why on Earth someone would want to make a 60 ft.-snake who wants to kill anyone that comes near it. Guess what, they do it to cure cancer AND Alzheimer's! Most B-movies will settle for one, but these doctors are real furnaces of ambition. Then the thing escapes (who saw that coming?), which gives us an awesome scene full of the most hilarious computer-generated wounds ever caught on celluloid. John Rhys-Davies also drops by for thirty seconds in a blatant "cash the cheque"-cameo, then it's time for the highly trained cannon fodder to run through the woods and not be able to hit the giant snake if their lives dep...well, their lives did depend on it. Who lives and who dies? Watch this movie for ten minutes, you'll know. But it doesn't matter, because "Anaconda 3" is something you watch for laughs, and it delivers on that count. It's a badly made film (to say it with an understatement), but don't let that stop you from enjoying it tremendously.
... View MoreWhen I stumbled across this on Sy Fy and saw that the Hoff was in it I thought, proceed with caution it's either going to be good or terrible. It was terrible for the most part although did have the potential to be so much better.The film mainly consisted of the super giant snake attacking people in a variety of ways. It was far too focused on the various gruesome ways a stereo-snake could kill someone and not really on much else.Overall it was just needlessly gory.That being said I got to the end and did manage a chuckle at points so it passed the B movie test. It's watchable if nothing else is on but I wouldn't go out of your way.
