Python 2 (2002)

That was an excellent one.

Not even bad in a good way

Excellent, a Must See

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I do like low-budget movies when they're entertaining and have a story and characters to care about. I greatly disliked the original Python, and when I read that there was a sequel I decided to see it just to see how it compared. I'd go as far to say after watching it that it's even worse. It makes all the mistakes of the original film, and in most cases it does those mistakes worse. Like the original, Python 2 looks cheap, the settings are nothing new and look bland and the photography and editing are choppy, but they are at least a little better than the special effects(which the close-ups are not kind to), to say that they are cartoonish is an insult to the word cartoonish. The antagonistic snake is not menacing in the slightest, we learn nothing about it and it is utilised poorly. The script is contrived often and sometimes feel like padding, and the story(you decide whether the fact that it has no connection in this regard to the original Python is a good thing or not) is so predictable and lacking in suspense you'll know how it'll end even at the halfway mark. There are so many laugh-out-loud ridiculous moments that you can write a book about them as well. The characters are every stereotype you can think of, and to make it worse they are both obnoxious and poorly developed. The acting, like the original, is dire though at least the original Python had Robert Englund trying hard with the material working against him. Here everybody is either over-compensating or going through the motions. In conclusion, a terrible sequel that manages to be even worse than the original. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Fugitive ex-baseball star and his Russian bride find themselves the unwitting pawns in a CIA-led mission to recover a giant, highly agile python that has been unintentionally released from its cargo hold by Chetynan rebels, and is now on the prowl at a Soviet military base.Generally, the acting is either very pedestrian, or totally over the top, with stereotypical characterisations of mobsters, mercenaries and military types, all of whom attempt to exude too much sentiment for the depth of their characters. The film largely takes place on a military base, in which, a supposedly crack team of commandos hunts down and attempts to capture the giant reptile, with catastrophic results for most concerned. It's formula 'catch and kill' stuff, and plays out like a video game. Only Zabka's mildly tongue-in-cheek performance offers any hint of talent, his presence the fragile pedigree to "Python", although despite, ostensibly, playing the same character, the persona are vastly different. Mackinnon's accent is painfully erratic, with an obvious Australian drawl surfacing in moments of despair, while perennial Russian-mafia typecast Binev, is becoming something of a staple in these types of movies, making a virtual 'guest' appearance as a Russian-esque mobster.The title reptile is even less convincing than in "Python", the CGI effects so blurry and poorly scaled, that the occasional interaction with a cast member is laughably absurd. Corny sets and cheap-looking outdoor staging is soon surpassed as the film takes up permanent residence on a fictitious military base, thus descending into a cat and mouse game with the snake, while stealth fighters prepare to raze the facility, to silence all witnesses. In spite of the competing threats, there's little, if any suspense, and a poorly executed climax that looks anything but the feared demolition that was to have taken place, to 'neutralise the situation', or 'go black' in the apparent CIA-speak oft employed throughout the picture by Zabka.Overall, if you like big snake movies, then you may be moderately satisfied with this basic offering; on the other hand, if you're more discerning, say, "Anaconda" rather than "Python", then you're unlikely to find it here.

This film is an awful and boneless piece of junk that does not even make up for the original failure, Python. In fact it includes all of from the faults from the first one plus a whole bunch of new ones! The plot is basic trash taken to a new level: the American army captures a uselessly large and unhappy python, but the plane which is transporting it crashes, as usual, and the safe(best word to describe it) containing the beast is taken by the Russian army who takes it to a military base and... opens it. You know the rest. This is Anaconda mixed with Alien, but without the quality. The actors are a pointless bunch of nondescript idiots who include a would-be murderer base-ball player(ludicrous) and a character from the previous episode, the useless and pathetic failed FBI agent. The snake is even more awful than in the first one because there are TWO of them. ARRGGGG! Two times sixty feet of awfulness! Things I learned from this movie: -Whopping enormous pythons are common in Russia. -Whopping ginormous pythons will fit easily into a tiny safe-like box. -Base-ball players can kill people with a ball.

below average sequel is weakly made and directed and plus it's not that particularly exciting and is dull to boot and the snake effects are really shoddy and has some lame flashbacks from the original the acting is so William Zabaka is really good here once again but this time around he is a lot different then he used to be SPOILERS!!!! you will see why near the end of the film Simmone Mackinnon is alright here and didn't convince me all that much and lets her accent do the acting Dana Ashbrook and Alex Jolig do alright Jolig lets his accent do the acting as well i really have nothing more to say other then Don't bother *1/2 out of 5 there is no one to root for either so all the characters except Larson are unlikable
