Snakes on a Plane

From beginning to end, a hopeless and exhausted borefest starring Samuel L. Jackson instead of Eric Roberts. By the end I was really suffering, and I like B-movie stuff a lot. If it wasn't for the stupid advertising campaign that wanted to turn this crap into a cult-movie, I'd probably be more moderate, but I won’t (10/06/2006)

Quite an entertaining piece of crap, perfect for a fun movie gathering with a beer in hand. It requires a lot of detachment, and then you don't mind the crazy logical lapses and the fact that something similar, in different variations, has been done many times before (although I don't remember "oral sex" by a rattlesnake). I missed a bit more humour and an original idea that would refresh the pile of predictable clichés (although I admit that the initial idea and the showdown with the snakes is appropriately crazy). Of course...when the ultra-cool badass Samuel L. Jackson, with an irresistibly pissed off expression, blurts out "Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!", it's clear that you just can't go below the 3*, albeit close :) (01/03/2007)

Maybe more like 3 and a half. Filling a plane full of snakes is a seriously deranged idea. From the moment when the snakes start crawling out of their... um, holes, we witness the most repulsive possible snake attacks on people (compared to other places, the bite in the eye doesn’t seem that bad). And we are treated to some cute PlayStation, RedBull and surfboard product placement. An entertaining B-movie with the superb Samuel L. Jackson and a bunch of pissed snakes in the leading roles.

I read a lot of things about this film (all the hype surrounding it, etc.) only after watching it, which is good because, since all I was aware of was its average rating, the only thing I could expect was ordinary silly fun. That is exactly what I got, therefore I’m satisfied, but I can imagine going to the cinema for the “B-movie event of the year” only to get something where you can’t tell whether it’s stupid intentionally or unintentionally, in which case I think it would certainly not get three stars.

Huh? I wish it was at least stupid to the point that it’s fun, but it doesn't even have a decent dose of idiocy. It's just a stupid accumulation of clichés, moreover in a tragically boring sequence. I would perhaps only describe the solid Samuel L. Jackson as good - otherwise, I was not interested by any of it. Stupid and empty boredom without a hint of fun. (09/24/2008)
