In honor of Jack Black and Paul Rudd's new take on Anaconda, we're revisiting the original film and loving the cult classic more than ever.

A group of "Anaconda" superfans decide to reboot "Anaconda" in "Anaconda," a slapdash, mildly clever reboot/ reimagining/ spiritual sequel to "Anaconda" that can't stop talking about or referencing "Anaconda."

Jack Black and Paul Rudd’s new monster snake comedy "Anaconda" is somewhat lacking in bite, according to Rotten Tomatoes’ critics.

The new "Anaconda," starring the amusing duo of Jack Black and Paul Rudd, is completely absurd — in a good way, writes Moira Macdonald.

The movie gets at least one thing right: Rebooting the shlocky, widely-panned creature-feature, starring Jack Black and Paul Rudd, is a goofy idea.

With "Anaconda," the Hollywood studio system comes closer than ever to devouring its own tail. In 1997, Sony Pictures made "Anaconda," a notoriously insipid creature feature starring Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube and a ferocious animatronic snake.

When is a meta movie too meta? “Anaconda” provides an incontrovertible answer. This new take on the 1997 killer snake movie that starred Ice Cube, Jennifer Lopez, and a delightfully over-the-top Jon Voight collapses while trying to be too clever.

The cast of the new version makes a lot of sense. The original, not so much (and that’s a big part of its charm).
