CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

keith_xyz UniMas, which was previously TeleFutura, often shows silly movies which are high on action/adventure but low on...um...Oscar-winning cinematography. If it ain't a Steven Seagal or Jean-Claude Van Damme film, it's a TV movie from Syfy. As a fan of "Mystery Science Theater 3000," I was riffing on "Komodo vs. Cobra" like Mike, Crow & Servo. But since that show was on Syfy, maybe that's why this movie tried to take itself seriously, coming off like it was a Vietnam War film, not something exploitive like "Sharktopus." 1st of all, lemme describe the plot. 2 bigass monsters blah blah blah government/military experiment & conspiracy blah blah blah determined band of good-looking, 2-D survivors blah blah systematic yet not-too-gross deaths by monster blah blah blah final monster letdown - ahem - showdown...the end. Funny that I mention "survivors" as Jerri from "Survivor" is in the cast; that's the only recognizable thespian in this movie (except for that guy from "Eddie & the Cruisers"). Oh yes, there's another actress named Renee Talbert, who I thought was Summer Glau but only looks like her. (Good thing Glau avoided this crud.) Also, I'd describe "Komodo vs. Cobra" as a movie that would've been cooler as an exploitation monster movie but is instead a wimpy family-friendly film. Yes, you see beautiful actresses in paradise. But they don't do a gratuitous scene bathing or frolicking in a lagoon. The only girly thing they do is scream near the monsters & act frightened while the men shoot infinite bullets @ 'em, including tough "survivor" Jerri & Michelle Borth, who actually was packing heat a little earlier in the movie. It was like watching "MST3K: King Dinosaur," which also had bad special effects, uninteresting characters, & some sexist undertones. There was lazy violence & nonexistent gore. The victims were eaten in one swift gulp & swallowed w/o chewing like in cartoons. & I think KvC relied almost entirely on CGI; not a prosthetic dismembered limb in sight. & only one guy had full make- up. But of course, major props to the two men in uniform who did not go to Kauai (I assume it was shot there) but stayed in Hollywood moving about in the same building talking their mouths off about military nonsense & how the conspiracy's playing out. Oh. Have I mentioned the stock footage of non-American planes? At least the number of stock footage was minimal compared to earlier movies I saw on MST3K (e.g. "Invasion USA"). To summarize, "Komodo vs. Cobra" is a cookie-cutter B-movie - TV-movie, pardon me - that's better watched in Spanish so I don't need to learn the abhorrent storyline. And a favor for all you MSTies out there: please watch this crappy film a few times & compose a few pages of riffs and broadcast it on YouTube or RiffTrax. Don't let the Mads win!

Billy_Crash Down and dirty: Unintelligent, bad acting, "special defects" not "special effects" (old "Land of the Lost" episodes looked better), weak story, automatic handguns with an endless array of bullets (that apparently fire .38 rounds), US Army using Air Force planes to do their dirty work (the plane often switches from an F-16 to an F-4 that does extremely accurate bombing runs without "smart" ordnance), general and major can't even salute properly, and best of all: an Airborne Ranger with seven years experience - as a soldier - somehow is an expert helicopter pilot. This garbage made Ed Wood's "Plan 9" look spectacular. Pathetic on a grand scale as well as insulting. The writer, director and producers should be embarrassed - though I wouldn't entrust them to work a deep fryer. Michael Pare has probably been glued to a suicide hotline ever since.This isn't worthy of a "zero" rating - it should be a "minus" for certain.

Tommy Nelson When moviegoers hear two popular villains/characters will be fighting, they flock to the theaters to see how the battle will end. There's Freddy vs. Jason, in which two very popular horror icons try to kill each other. And, more similarly to this, there's Godzilla vs. (Insert Name Here). But the very generic Komodo vs. Python is just a horrible title, and an even worse premise. Obviously, the movie's a D-list picture, but, at least come up with a more compelling name, maybe something that can trick the unsuspecting viewer into watching it. With a name like this, you know what you're getting in to.A group of military men/women, including a 20-something year old sexy scientist woman are left for dead by the military on an island inhabited by a giant komodo dragon. As long as they can make it off the island and to the boat, they'll be fine, but...no...there's a giant python guarding the ocean and the way off. Let's hope all these guys can make it off the island, and that the python and komodo don't verse each other in some sort of horrible special effect battle.Really, this movie is bad in almost every way. The acting is pretty bad, or maybe it's that the special effects are so cheesy, that the acting is unbelievable because no one believes that these people are in any danger with creatures that look like they were made on an early 90s computer. Nonetheless, this movie is actually pretty funny. The creatures are so clunky looking, and the actors really give it their all pretending like they're in danger.I'd like to say that this movie is a steaming pile of sh*squawk!*...but I can't. This PG-13 rated film actually bleeps itself out. Every time a curse word comes, a parrot noise beeps out the word. Even words that can be said on network television. How *squawk*ing cheap that they bleep out words, and with a parrot no less. Eventually these parrot noises got to me and I couldn't help but laugh at the incompetence.This movie is bad, from the silly beginning to the ridiculous Night of the Living Dead style ending, but it's also kind of funny. As a horror movie it fails miserably, as an action movie, it fails slightly less, but still pretty bad, and as a comedy it shines.My rating: * out of ****. 95 mins. PG-13 for some violence and Squawked out cursing.

MartianOctocretr5 Somehow, this silliness is entertaining. Some of the cheapest CGI (an Etch-a-Sketch toy makes more lifelike images), and some of the lousiest acting make for a comic masterpiece.The title implies a competition between the two monsters, but they encounter each other at least a half dozen times, just looking at each other stupidly, before finally having a fight. They take turns butchering a bunch of hapless environmentalists and a TV crew in tow who are on a private island with some government cover-up (eek!) going on. The animal lunch morsels are led by a guy from a garbage scow who took them to the island and now talks tough.The acting looks like they hired some of those brain-dead people Jay Leno finds for his on-the-street interviews: people who could barely read a script, let alone understand it. I love the actress playing the brilliant scientist; she looks like she should be in a cell phone commercial. There isn't much to this script, to begin with, though; just another experiment gone wrong that turns little animals into giant hungry ones that develop a taste for bad actors.On the plus side, there's plenty of action and violence featuring the fake CGI monsters. There's all the evil government clichés. In short, there's plenty to laugh at; nothing boring here.
