A team of environmentalists, including a reporter, her camera man, and an environmentalist's famous girlfriend charter a boat and with the captain, sail to a military island. They suspect the island is hosting to illegal activities. Upon arrival, however, they find no one. They finally reach a deserted house, where they find Dr. Susan Richardson, who tells them that everyone on the island is dead, including her father. Richardson's team were working on a compound that could make edible plants grow to super size, however the military intervened with plans of their own. They wanted to test the compound's effects on animals, and proceeded to feed it to several komodo dragons and cobras.

manjodude This TV movie is OK. It has a nice background music and the performances weren't bad either especially from Michelle Borth as Dr. Sara or Michael Pare as Captain Mike. And the special effects are passable too but what's with these mutants? They move so slow and thus affect the pace of the movie. If you're gonna eat the humans, just get to it and save our time! That's what annoyed me about the movie, the pace at times is quite a torture. Most of the time, the characters engage in lot of talk on how to escape from these creatures or the military who wants to destroy the island rather than the action which we expect more. I still like to watch such movies cause they're fantasy or escapist cinema and is a nice way to relax. More mutants or zombies for moi :)
TheLittleSongbird As I have said many times previously, I am not a SyFy original movies fan, in fact while some are flawed but watchable a lot of them are garbage. But I don't take pleasure in talking dirt about them, most of the time in regard to movies I try to be encouraging and not too harsh to the movies I dislike. Komodo vs. Cobra is a bad, lame movie. However I have seen far worse from SyFy. The tropical island was striking, Michael Pare is suitably gruff and Michelle Borth sparkles in her sexiness. However, it is very cheaply made, with a lot of the shots repetitive, the sets uninteresting and unauthentic and the effects incredibly fake. The komodo dragon and the cobra both don't convince either in how they look or as a threat. The title of the film is also unconvincing, as these two are hardly together apart from like two or three confrontations. The music is also generic while the dialogue is cheesy and stilted and the characters are annoying stereotypes that you don't learn anything about. The story other than the effects is quite possibly the worst asset of the film, it holds no surprises, has no suspense, no sense of terror and is dull. It is also very ridiculous, the water snake idea was intelligence-insulting enough, but what really floored me was how many bullets were fired out of that very small gun? The direction is also very flat. The acting apart from Pare and Borth is poor, the actors have very little to do and are very bland as a result. For instance, Renee Talbert is made to do very little other than pout. Ryan McTavish displays no charisma whatsoever. On the whole, Komodo vs. Cobra is not the worst but is still mega lame in most regards. 3/10 Bethany Cox
Tommy Nelson When moviegoers hear two popular villains/characters will be fighting, they flock to the theaters to see how the battle will end. There's Freddy vs. Jason, in which two very popular horror icons try to kill each other. And, more similarly to this, there's Godzilla vs. (Insert Name Here). But the very generic Komodo vs. Python is just a horrible title, and an even worse premise. Obviously, the movie's a D-list picture, but, at least come up with a more compelling name, maybe something that can trick the unsuspecting viewer into watching it. With a name like this, you know what you're getting in to.A group of military men/women, including a 20-something year old sexy scientist woman are left for dead by the military on an island inhabited by a giant komodo dragon. As long as they can make it off the island and to the boat, they'll be fine, but...no...there's a giant python guarding the ocean and the way off. Let's hope all these guys can make it off the island, and that the python and komodo don't verse each other in some sort of horrible special effect battle.Really, this movie is bad in almost every way. The acting is pretty bad, or maybe it's that the special effects are so cheesy, that the acting is unbelievable because no one believes that these people are in any danger with creatures that look like they were made on an early 90s computer. Nonetheless, this movie is actually pretty funny. The creatures are so clunky looking, and the actors really give it their all pretending like they're in danger.I'd like to say that this movie is a steaming pile of sh*squawk!*...but I can't. This PG-13 rated film actually bleeps itself out. Every time a curse word comes, a parrot noise beeps out the word. Even words that can be said on network television. How *squawk*ing cheap that they bleep out words, and with a parrot no less. Eventually these parrot noises got to me and I couldn't help but laugh at the incompetence.This movie is bad, from the silly beginning to the ridiculous Night of the Living Dead style ending, but it's also kind of funny. As a horror movie it fails miserably, as an action movie, it fails slightly less, but still pretty bad, and as a comedy it shines.My rating: * out of ****. 95 mins. PG-13 for some violence and Squawked out cursing.
ctomvelu1 Nothing will ever top KOMODO with the lovely Jill Hennessey as a shrink (!), but KvC ain't quite as bad as I expected for a SYFY channel quickie. Just make sure to watch it while drunk or stoned, or while trying to go to sleep. The unimaginative title basically says it all: A group of mostly unknown actors converge on an island where a government experiment to grow giant vegetables has gone wrong. Giant creatures that came into contact with the vegetables have taken over the island and eaten everyone. So now the government is preparing to blow up the island, regardless of the people being there. The acting is wonderfully atrocious, especially a mustachioed general right out of THE INCREDIBLE HULK TV series, but this is typical of this kind of made-for-cable schlock. The CGI creatures are TV-level quality, which means you know you're watching cartoon monsters. However, two of the gals in the group are very cute, and worth watching as they run here and there in their tight little outfits. You just want to eat them up!
