Smile Snakes On A Plane

I saw this movie today. It's funny !!! Not one of Samuel Jacksons better films, but ok.
Great special effects where the snakes bite people and how they die !!!
Would liven up any QANTAS flight!! Bet it doesn't get shown as an inflight movie!!!!!

Would you recommend anyone to go and see it ?

I personally think it sounds absolutely pathetic and cannot justify spending money to go see it. Please let me know otherwise if its a worthwhile movie to go and see, as I instantly think of fake crap movies such as anacondas and other movies with animals that are just too crap to even mention heh.

cheers martO

I can't help but laugh everytime I hear the title of that movie. It must have taken about 2 seconds for them to decide on what their new movie would be about, plus an additional second to think of a title.

Apparently Samuel L Jackson signed on the instant he heard the title, and when they wanted to change the title he wouldn't let them. You can't think of the movie as something which will be completely serious, it is inentionally a bit 'out there' so don't go to see it expecting a masterpiece worthy of an Oscar for Best Picture.

This review probably describes the whole thing best, it really was/is something of a cult movie to a degree:

Quote:
You know, I was sad as I walked out of my theatre when Snakes on a Plane ended. I knew I would never have such a memorable, up-roaring, unbelievable, unimaginable, and unexplainable experience like that in theatres ever again. This was the first physically possible time to see the film in the world: the 10 PM public screening on August 17, 2006. Me, my friend, and the fifty other people in the theatre (I work at) knew that fact, whether they were movie buffs, fans of the month-and-month-long cult, or just people who wanted to see how stupid this movie was. Everyone was energetic. People came in groups of five to ten people. I don't think there was a single person over 25 in that theatre. Me and my friend figured we'd be the only ones who'd applaud any part of the movie, but as the lights dimmed, EVERYONE applauded, roared, and shouted at the top of the lungs. The threading at my theatre isn't the best, so one fellow employee accidentally threaded the final Snakes on a Plane teaser trailer along with the movie. That caused extreme applause. As the Feature Presentation slide came on, people roared. As the film started with its easy, mellow atmosphere, people were yelling at the top of their lungs. They did when the title came on and they did when Samuel L. Jackson first came on screen five minutes in, with a line that will undoubtedly be one of the many to become famous. "Do as I say, and you'll live!"

That's all I'm saying. I'm not spoiling any of the film. You simply need to see just how over-the-top the film is with itself. Samuel L. Jackson is the man. He owns this movie. He owns every single shot he is in with every single line he utters. It's simply indescribable to tell you the experience you'll have watching this movie. If your audience is even a fraction as fan-crazy as mine was, you're going to have one of the best theatre experiences of your life. My audience was hell-bent throughout the entire movie, laughing, yelling, and having the best fun they'll ever have. Everyone erupted with the famous line. As soon as Jackson said "Enough is enough," everyone stood up, waited for the rest of the line and deafeningly applauded for about ten seconds.

Snakes on a Plane is without a doubt one of the most entertaining theatre experiences I've ever had or ever will have. I simply do not want to watch another movie right away because I know it will never be as crazy as Snakes on a Plane. It was one of the most memorable times I'll ever, ever have in a theatre and me and my friend will never, ever forget it. I'm so excited right now, I just do not want to sleep. I want to yell and tell everyone how ********* crazy this movie is. My throat is sore from all the yelling and my hands are nearly bleeding from all the clapping. I've never felt like that before. This is like drinking 20 Red Bulls. If you are a film buff, film snob, or just a human male, you must see Snakes on a Plane. I know I will at least once more. And be sure to see it with a good fellow audience; the participation is half the movie. This is the greatest popcorn movie ever made, period.

My Rating: 10/10

I've missed all the internet hype on it and it looks pretty stupid, but I spose I can see a bit of merit in it. I'll probably go see it.

That's a ****er though.

did anyone else see chasers war on everything where they took the literal value of the title to a new level?
Priscilla queen of the desert became - poofs on a bus

I'd have to agree, that the movie doesn't look that good, although it could be like "lake placid" and end up being really funny. Is snakes on a plane supposed to be funny?

people on youtube were making like their own screenplays using the script, and they changed stuff, and the producers of the movie actually took those fans changes and put them in the movie, and i think one of them was for SLJ to say muth f**** twice in a sentance??? *in his usual style*

Jackson seems to think the movie is just a big mutha****** joke.

I reckon he only did it because of its stupidity.

I figured the snakes would all be computer generated ones, and some of them are, but the majority of them are real. They had a "Behind the scenes" show on Fox during the week, and it had them with literally handfuls of live snakes, putting them onto actors etc
Still looks like crap though (and wtf was that reviewer on?)...

I saw this the other night and loved it. It's so bad it's good.

For the horror fans there's also some pretty suspenseful moments in it and the effects of some of the snakes and their bites on people is pretty cool.
