I don't think anyone is going to argue that this is not a great movie by any means, and it definitely has it's share of problems, but there are still yet some good things to be seen. Some of the special effects in the film are rather good and there is a great deal of beautiful scenery as well.
The acting in the film is nothing spectacular, but at the same time you have to remember that these actors are acting against a big mechanical snake, or in some cases nothing at all, so I'll give 'em some props for doing a decent job.
The cast in the film is surprisingly good. Jon Voight does a fine job as the antagonist (although I didn't like him at all the first time I saw the film). Jennifer Lopez does a good job as well, but again nothing spectacular. Eric Stolz makes an appearance as well, although his screen time is very minimal. The great Owen Wilson is also in the film, one of his first film credits. While, not having a terribly important role in the film, he was a cool character, and sadly I would have like to see him make it to the end. Kari Wuher is reason enough to watch this film. What a gorgeous woman! I definitely look forward to her future work. Ice Cube is in the film as well, I don't know what it is about this guy, but I just don't like his acting, in any movie. So he was the only cast member that I didn't really care for and sadly he's one of the few that actually survive the the entire film.
All in all, if you like films about huge killer monsters/animals, then you may like this film. If you're the kind of person that going to nit-pick every little factual discrepancy, then stay away from this film! In any case, if you do end up seeing the film, I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for reading.
