I wanted to but couldn't!

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Allan A. Goldstein's inspired direction brings incredible creativity and vision to this refreshingly original horror film. Creating an environment that's overwhelming in its tense darkness and unrelenting terror, Goldstein weaves a tight story against the backdrop of a steaming jungle where the atmosphere is virtually unendurable. The creature that stalks its victims without mercy is one of the most stunningly horrible ever imagined and will leave audiences long-lasting nightmares. A fine cast gives memorably powerful performances and Stephen Baldwin does some of the finest work of his career. Exotic locales, intense thrills, and never-let-up shocks make for superb cinema horror and a motion picture experience you will simply never forget.

I was not expecting much in terms of a good plot and good special effects, but I was expecting it to be entertaining with some of the actors giving their all. That was not the case with Snake King(or Snake Man). This was a horrible movie from start to finish, redeemed only by the striking scenery and Jayne Heitmeyer, who is pretty decent not to mention good looking. The rest is one big mess. The special effects are really cheap and some of the least convincing of any special effect I've seen in any movie in a while, and the choppy editing, suspense-less and un-thrilling attack scenes and the snake(s), which are the opposite of menacing or effective do not help. Neither do the crass dialogue, clichéd characters(the film doesn't even try to give them any sort of development either), slack pacing or the formulaic, unexciting story(which further suffers from being derivative of the far superior Anacondas 2). Nor, with the exception of Heitmeyer, does the acting, which in Stephen Baldwin's case is bland, and in the case of others, including the villain, verging on camp. So overall, the scenery and Heitmeyer are good but the rest contribute to Snake King being the stinker that it is. 2/10 Bethany Cox

What makes me miffed is those who can a movie like Anacondas especially the second one, which I enjoyed. Well I recommend you see this first and then you will realise that the former are entertainingly good movies with a far higher acting standard than this one. Do we really need to live 300 years? Most of us cant handle the ones that we are granted in the first place. Or is that another, if you are rich then you are deserved of potential immortality. OK they needed to make another serpent movie but next time make a better one, with a better script and better actors. The snake fodder are obvious from the very start, hardly deemed to get any lines, and are not allowed the courtesy of developing personality. The snake is very unrealistic even though size does matter. In Anaconda one at least felt that the snakes where real(istic). And in this movie everything is said in the first half an hour giving the movie very little scope to work on. Why don't they let the obnoxious guy get it early and save us all a little grief. Stephen Baldwin although a little thinner, did it best in the Flintstones. He should stay with that genre, a hunter hey ho! The Jaguer chief was not plausible in the role and needed to shed a few cat kilos himself. I know it isn't going to happen but I will go back to my video shop and ask for my money back. Don't bother

Where to begin. The story, the characters are a bit wooden and two dimensional and the evil corporation who cares for profits over human lives maybe true, but it's getting old in movies. Steven Baldwin, looks like he'd appear at the opening of a letter. I mean even he's better then this. But it's not all bad, I think there was clever dialog and Naga looks real. I've done my research and there are versions of Naga that are just multi-headed snakes, they didn't screw that up. I respect any movie that researches the subject matter. It's not dull by a long shot, lots of bullets flying around and stuff blowing up and people getting ripped to pieces.It does get confusing at points, first they're fighting the snake god and the natives, next they join the natives. What's up with that? Anyway I give it six stars.
