Best movie ever!

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It is not as if I immediately hate on low-budget movies, I have enjoyed and been entertained by some. Python is not one of those I was entertained by, in fact while the beginning sets things up nicely and has all the makings of an enjoyable enough movie it was simply terrible. I have seen worse special effects, but they do look outdated and close ups(and there are a fair few of those) are not kind to them. The gore looks like jelly or at least to me it did. The editing is also rather scrappy too. The dialogue is both cheesy and trite with nothing memorable or much that adds anything to the movie's quality. The story is also a disaster, I don't actually mind predictability but it was the complete lack of suspense, thrills or excitement, bland atmosphere and lethargic pacing that I did mind a great deal, and Python has all of these. Plus the predictability was so vast that you knew exactly what was going to happen next. The characters are insufferably annoying, while the snake is not just poorly rendered but not menacing at all and we learn next to nothing about its origins. The direction has no life and does nothing to help the actors or to make the story halfway interesting. The acting is dire all-round, particularly from a woefully miscast Caspar Van Dien. Robert Englund is the best of the bunch, and he has done and deserves so much better than this. In conclusion, decent beginning but not enough to save the mess that is the rest of the movie. 2/10 Bethany Cox

absolutely terrible the snake looks like the sorta thing you'd find in a Mario kart game the graphics are extremely outdated and come on a snake that barfs stomach acid on to things to melt them thats just stupid unless your with mates don't even bother watching it not much more i can say but the snakes attacks were pretty cool like slashing some chicks head off with its tail and the random sex scenes particularly the lesbian scene in the early part of the movie are pretty erotic still not worth it though only buy it if you get it for a dollar ninety five like i did but still the worst dollar ever spent i guess rent it if you feel that way but still if only IMDb had minus ratings this movie would take the cake

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.

The town of Ruby and it's surrounding country-side are terrorized by a giant python created by the typical secret government organization called Biogene which was released after a plane carrying it crash-lands. Dr. Anton Rudolph(Robert Englund, who gets all the theatrical dialogue), who had a part in creating this massive reptile through variations of serpents, informs Agent-in-charge Bart Parker(Casper Van Dien, far removed from "Starship Troopers" or "Sleepy Hollow")that it's practically unkillable and very fast with a nasty venomous acid-spit you wouldn't believe. Pro-biker John(Frayne Rosanoff)and deputy Greg(William Zabka, known for playing blonde haired bullying punks in the 80's such as in "Karate Kid" & "Back to School")who have angst over a chick named Kristin(Dana Barron, one of many variations of Griswald daughter Audrey in "National Lampoon's Vacation")must join forces to stop the python.Could easily play on Sci-fi channel with it's low quality computer effects of the monstrous python. The python really is never convincing which makes the film play rather cheesy instead at all scary. The flick benefits from a cast of recognizable faces. Star Trek The Next Generation's Wil Wheaton plays a real-estate agent wannabe sporting a pink hair-do, Jenny McCarthy stops by to play a wealthy widow sexpot, Sean Whalen is a Barney Fife deputy, and Gary Grubbs(my favorite of the cast who I enjoyed every moment he was on-screen)as Sheriff Griffin Wade.
