After having suffered through the 2021 Chinese movie "Huge Shark", also from 2021, I must admit that I weren't expecting this movie titled "Mutant Python" to be any better. But since I hadn't already seen it, of course I opted to watch it.
Luckily, I have to admit that writer Zhuang Qin delivered something entertaining here with "Mutant Python". It was a fairly straight forward and enjoyable movie. The kind of movie where you just grab your snack, lean back and watch the screen. The storyline in "Mutant Python" is straight forward and doesn't require the audience to do a whole lot of thinking.
The acting performances in the movie were fair. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "Mutant Python", but they put on good enough performances to carry the movie. The only downside to "Mutant Python" was that I had obtained a version dubbed into English. Yeah, dubbing movies in 2021, seriously? And on top of that, it was that kind of horrible dubbing that make the actors and actresses sound like they are soulless drones high on something. A shame really, because it took away a lot of enjoyment from the movie.
Visually then I was impressed with director Er Dong's "Mutant Python" movie, because the CGI was good and the snake looked good and sort of realistic. Well, aside from the fact that the python in the movie had a hood, for some odd reason.
If you enjoy a good old fashioned creature feature, then give "Mutant Python" a chance. I was genuinely entertained here, aside from the dubious dubbing.
My rating of "Mutant Python" lands on a six out of ten stars.
