A
federal witness is being flown from Hawaii to Los Angeles to testify
against a notorious crime lord, but the crime lord and his evil
henchman plant several cases of various snakes in the cargo bay
of the plane. When the timer goes off the snakes, made ultra aggressive
by pheromones, get free and all hell breaks loose in Snakes on
a Plane.
Snakes
on a Plane is exactly what it says it is, exactly what you
want it to be and exactly what it needs to be, pure fun from start
to finish! The hype's over and the movie is finally here, and
it delivers what it promises, Samuel L. Jackson kicking snake
ass on a plane, although I'm really not sure if snakes actually
have an ass or not. The creative minds behind this flick have
done something that has never been done before, they have created
a mass appeal cult movie, that fans have been dying to see.
The
film starts off a bit slow, but as soon as the time clock countdown
is shown, the film changes. And once the clock strikes zero, all
bets are off and your in for the ride of your life. The kills,
cast and story are exactly what you would expect them to be, but
somehow, they are able to throw in a few surprises that will make
you jump, chuckle or gasp at unsuspecting times during the movie.
Also
let me say this, the audience wasn't hot for this flick, they
were on FIRE! Snakes on the Plane had the best audience
involvement in a movie that I have seen in a long time. From the
moment the snakes begin to slither, your hooked and by the time
the cast and story get you to the point where Samuel L. turns
and gives the line "I've had it with these MOTHERFUCKING
snakes on this MOTHERFUCKING plane!" The audience was at
a fever pitch and the place went nuts, excellent!
The
kills are good and at times brutal, the story is good and mixes
great shocks with some really good humor. The cast is excellent
and everyone pulls their weight. The CGI snakes are kind of bad,
but they are supposed to be. Also they kind of take on their own
personality as the film goes on. Everything about this flick just
meshes so well together, you can't help but enjoy it.
This
is a film you have to see in the theater, make that a crowded
theater, it's that much fun. I really enjoyed this film from start
to finish, it's an absolute blast and the entire theater was along
for the same ride and everyone was really into it.
Snakes
on a Plane has been worth the wait and worth the hype, check
it out today!

| I
was actually left a bit underwhelmed by Snakes on a Plane.
I expected more of a satire, and I'm not saure anyone would have
even noticed this film were it not for all the hype surrounding
it. I did see it in an empty theatre though, and I'm sure that might
have had something to do with my ambivalence. This is a crowd movie
if ever there was one.
The
cast is great, and it's nice to see Kenan Thompson and Julianna
Margulies on the big screen again. There are also some cool kllls,
and the snakes get owned just as often as the humans.
I
did have a couple of issues with how the film was made. First,
it actually seems panned and scanned sometimes; something I've
never seen in a theatrical release before. In fact, I became convinced
while watching that it was shot entirely on video, but research
afterward proved this to be false. Second, the snakes all appear
to be CGI, even when I knew going in that they were live snakes.
Odd.
There
are also a couple of silly lapses in logic (for example, a man
dead sitting against a door falls through when it's open, but
lands several feet away so that the door can be closed again with
ease).
Ultimately
though, the brilliant title "Snakes on a Plane" makes
the film virtually critic-proof, and I'm not being sarcastic.
It's kind of difficult to gripe about the quality of a film that
boasts so honest a title without appearing silly. The film never
claims to be anything but simple fun, and it achieves that.

| Any
movie that simply describes what it is in the title is a movie that
I have a moral obligation to see. This movie is no exception.
Sure,
the plot is cheesy and unbelievable, but that's what makes movies
like this great. I unfortunately didn't have the chance to see
it in the theater, but the movie was everything I wanted. The
only bad thing about this movie is that it needed a bit more cheese
for my taste. Not much, but just a light sprinkling.
Sam
Jackson was perfect for this movie. I don't think there's anyone
else that could have pulled this off like he did. In an interview,
he said that this kind of movie is what he used to watch at the
local cinema when he was growing up. He has a love for cheese
and he plays the role to perfection.
The
rest of the cast doesn't really matter to me, except for Keenan
Thompson. He was laugh out loud funny in some parts, especially
the end. Ultimately this movie belongs to Samuel L. Jackson.
I
hyped this movie up at work so much that my manager, who is a
big movie buff, rented it and said that he wants to hit me with
a bat for recommending it to him. I say he doesn't have a good
taste in movies.

| I
have to admit, this movie sucked balls. It was entertaining and
goofy at first, but toward the end I don't think a person can get
high enough to not be shocked at how stupid it got. I did try, too.
It
was amusing for a while, snakes eating dicks, up crotches, down
throats, up asses. I'm pretty sure Beavis and Butthead
wrote this movie. I did get quite a few giggles and some good
jumps, but about halfway through it lost all momentum and I just
found myself saying "end already, so I can watch anything
that isn't this movie."
I
mean I can enjoy a good comedy horror as much as the next guy,
but this is terrible. This is Anaconda
meets Weekend at Bernies, but not as clever.

I fall into the category of people who enjoyed this flick. Yeah
the plot is simplistic and absolutely ridiculous, but Snakes
on a Plane knows this and has fun with the premise.
The
movie boasts a solid central performance by Samuel Jackson and
terrific support by Kenan Thompson. I agree with Prime that the
snakes looked pretty cheesy at times, but the carnage they inflict
on the passengers more than makes up for that.
While
SoaP will never be considered an all time classic, it is
a blast to watch and ranks as solid B movie entertainment.
