Hasselhoff fans please don't be angry because my comments here are in no way aimed a The Hoff or his talents. I tuned in to "Anaconda 3" because I am a fan of Sci-Fi Channel and a fan of Hasselhoff (who is a competent actor) but was stunned by how bad this movie is. Despite The Hoff's charisma and the fact that he can and does manage to do a good acting job playing villain roles, this movie is just lousy.
Very fake snake, cheap CGI, no character development. But the main sin of the movie maker here is that "Anaconda 3" is just not entertaining. It drags in places and often is just not scary.
Yes its a "B" movie and in a TV "B" movie I can live with only a smidgen of character development, but here we actually have none. Not any. Zero.
Huge snake climbs around roofs but doesn't even knock off a shingle. In contrast, the sci-fi movie "D-War" (2007) has a similar monster but when it crawls on a roof, the building cracks and debris falls off.
In "Anaconda III" the animal weighing thousands of pounds rushes around the forest at lightning fast speed but doesn't even snap a twig or stir up any dust (reference "D-War" again), although it leaves a trail in the grass that men can walk through. I know snakes are supposed to be sneaky, but... this giant is not believable enough, even by Sci-Fi Channel standards, and I enjoy most of their product.
The extremely fake visuals overwhelm the very capable performances by the cast, and unfortunately cancel out The Hoff's charisma and ability.
