There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Why older movies look more real is such s mystery. The first lake placid looked like a real croc. First anaconda looked like a real snake in most shots. Better tecnology years later and we get things that look like cgi and the lighting on the creatures doesnt even match the surrounding. Like its pail or looks like a paper cut out moving on screen. People getting eaten looks as fake as it actually is and acting. Modern movies should just stick to anamatronics and real special effects. Theyed lose less of the audience that way. Cant make money if everyone agrees that movies now cant even match up to the orginals in any way but the story line. Noone wants to see that its cgi. Noone wants to notice that its cgi. Noone wants to see a person get eaten or crushed and the thing biting or crushing them look like its photo shopped into the shot. How... Just how are movies so much worse these days. Cant say its hd tvs either, jurassic park still has real looking dinosaurs on modern tvs.

This ScFy Channel creature feature is directed by A.B. Stone and can claim crocs on the dock, snakes in the lake, babes on the shore and blood galore. Scientists Beach (Stephen Billingham) and Jim (Robert Englund) Bickerman are determined to crossbreed a giant crocodile with a freakish large anaconda. Jim now suffers minor deformities from his last encounter with Lake Placid crocs. Transportation problems will end up causing the escape of hungry creatures and the mother-of-showdowns between a giant anaconda and larger-than-large crocodile. But of course, before the big battle various size chompers will feed on pretty girls and terrorize a whole town. Throaty-voiced Reba (Yancey Butler) is still around the lake area and this time with more authority.Horror, violence, disturbing images and sick humor abound. This just has to be your cup of tea or very quickly you'll be slapped in the face with stupidity! Miss Butler seems to always lead in the acting department. But Englund does have some pretty funny scenes. Rounding out the cast: Corin Nemec, Skye Lourie, Annabel Wright, Georgina Phillips, Oliver Walker, Ali Eagle and Nigel Barber.

I'll just start with a big wow. Like, the overall badness of this movie just stunned me. I was truly astonished. Mind = blown. Honestly, I didn't expect much to start with but I was just blown away by how little I should've expected. Just watch it to revel in how bad it is, soak up the glorious lack of talent and creativity. If only there was as much originality as there was gore, this would've had a much better rating. It is horrendous. The special effects are, well, special. They're a special kind of bad. Now this would've been acceptable if the movie was made a few years back but 2015, seriously? The equipment must've been ancient. The only way this would've been slightly okay is if the creatures were actually created by a bunch of 5 year olds experimenting in graphics for the first time. As for the acting, it's mind-numbing. Honestly, it made me feel like I had a chance to be in a movie and my acting is crap. They just didn't pull it off well, at all. The tones, pitches and gestures were weak. The overall performance was lacking. It just made the already ridiculous film seem more fake. Pretty much every cliché under the sun was used in this. The only thing I'm proud of is that they didn't have one of those tiresome romances. If you want a good laugh, watch it with a group of sarcastic friends. They're bound to have a field day with this. I feel like the story-line, although grossly unoriginal, would've been tolerable if everything else wasn't so crap. But it was, so it is. It's impressive just how bad it is. Like I was expecting it to be bad, but wow, it amazed me just how bad it was. It's one of those things you can watch on a bad day and it'll cheer you up because it'll remind you that your life still isn't as bad as the acting and special effects in this movie.

Years ago, I watched both 'Lake Placid' and 'Anaconda' in the cinemas and, for all my sins, loved them both. Yes, I know a 'good' film when I see one and I knew both of these were definitely not good. They were cheesy B-movies that could only be considered 'good' in a 'so-bad-they're-good' kind of way. But, sometimes I'm in the mood for that sort of film, so that's okay.I seem to remember seeing a sequel to Anaconda (another snake/another jungle) and I'm pretty sure I at least heard that Lake Placid (another crocodile/another lake) had another film out of video (didn't even have DVDs in that day from what I recall!). Now, from what I read online, 'Lake Placid vs Anaconda' is the fifth film in both franchises. I guess some may think that it might be difficult to pick up the story missing 3/5 of the story. Don't worry. I don't think I missed much in the way of story.Scientists (the movie kind, therefore they're evil) are trying to do experiments on the giant anaconda snake and it gets away – right into Lake Placid. And it just so happens that there's a whole group of scantily-clad teenage girls in bikinis running around on that day. And, if you've ever seen a film before, you'll probably fill in enough of the blanks to work out what happens for the next ninety minutes.Lake Placid vs Anaconda is basically a slasher film with monsters who occasionally fight each other in between gobbling up the next cheerleader. The acting is dire (and even the presence of Robert Englund can't elevate it that much), the special effects are about the least special as they could be (seriously, I've seen Playstation 2 cut-scenes that are better than the CGI snake and crocs) and the plot is nothing you haven't seen before. The characters are pretty unlikeable – the 'nice' ones are two dimensional and underdeveloped and the 'bad' ones are even more clichéd (although the token 'mean girl' of the story was actually quite funny!).Therefore, the film is pretty forgettable. I'm writing this review trying to remember as much of it as I can before all traces of it slips from my mind completely. However, as dumb as it is, I didn't hate it. I was actually quite entertained while I saw it. I doubt I'll ever see it again. There are plenty of other monster movies out there that are better and new ones being filmed every day.
