Forget King Kong. Forget Godzilla. Python 2 (or, as it is even more awesomely named in the UK 'SNAKES') is truly the defining monster movie of our times, perhaps any times.So awesome is this tale of man and reptile, in fact, that the distributors see fit to charge no more than £1 for it in bargain basement DVD buckets. So epic is it, that the producers avoided putting any of their or their actors' or directors' names on the back of the DVD cover. That there are no special features at all should be of no importance.Why, if you squint you eyes and smear your screen with Vaseline you can almost dare to say the CGI Snake looks real. The actors' performances are so virtuoso they barely move at all on screen. One woman was even included in the cast! The plot tells a weeping tale of tragedy and the folly of over-ambition, as the government (or, some guys with guns at least) try to recapture a big freaking' snake in a military base somewhere in Russia. Surely some social commentary on our times, friends.This movie will change your life. I haven't even finished watching it yet and I am moved to review it on IMDb.

Things I like about Python 2: -It has snakes. -It's a sequel to a decent movie... Things I hate about Python 2: -This seems unbelievable, but the CGI is actually WORSE than the first one. This was just terrible, and sad. Oh so sad. -The plot makes NO FUDGING SENSE. Why where those snakes in that container (for that matter, how did they FIT INTO the container)? What was the opening scene about? And WHAT IS UP with the blonde dude from the first movie? Who is he working for? WHY!!? Who thought his big "plot twist" was a good idea? -Where are the other actors from the first film? I guess they read the script... -And finally, this movie makes the same mistake as Anaconda-it takes itself far too seriously. The first one was littered with dumb gags and innuendo, but they tried to make this movie about GIANT SNAKES a WAR DRAMA!! What's up with that!? This is THE worst Sci-Fi movie I have ever seen.

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

Just like the first one, the movie was good, but in this movie the CG snake was better, they had more money so the snake ate people on-screen instead of off-screen. The acting was OK. But on the first movie...the CG snake wasn't good in a few shots. I liked the movie. But...the kicker is there is now 2 snakes, instead of one.that complicated it abit, e.g. how long is the new snake, how was it made, why is it there?. All together I liked the movie, my favourite scene was when the orignal snake was chasing Nalia.
