My mate got me this DVD for my 22nd birthday today. We saw the preview on the internet and it has been legendary since. Now I've actually seen the film, I'm happy all the time. Seriously. My parents got me an awesome and fantastic and expensive watch, but when people go "So what did you get?" I'm going to scream "Boa VS Python!!!" at them, and staple them to the living room couch and force them to watch this film a la Clockwork Orange. Only then will humanity truly find peace. How can people not like this film? The dubbing is perfect, the script is unparallelled, and Adam Kendrick's portrayal of a British casino owner-cum-big game hunter is spot on. He even got the flame-thrower action just right! I know a lot of casino owners-cum-big game hunters who have seen this film, and they all say he got it. This whole film is like they took a documentary about a crappy worm and got Ice Cube to pimp it. "Pimp my Worm Documentary!" they cried. And they did. Ooh, one little thing...I was well expecting an angry black guy to be part of some kind of SWAT team...oh wait, they got him in there too. Top stuff.

The most enjoyable thing about "Boa vs. Python", aside from the occasional gratuitous nudity, is the DVD case art. It depicts two giant snakes battling in a city while being fired upon by a helicopter -- something that never even comes close to happening in the actual movie. Still, the artistry is well done and is something to look at as an alternative to the cinematic atrocity being perpetrated onscreen.

The computer-generated effects, made under the supervision of Ulysses Agetta, look far from realistic. They don't blend in well with the live action background, and at times their movements don't seem as fluid as they ought to be. Usually terrible special effects would be the death of a monster movie. In "Boa vs. Python" it really doesn't matter. Fixing the film's special effects would be like curing acne on a leper.
