Snakes on a Plane knows exactly what kind of movie it is, knows exactly what moviegoers expect from a title like Snakes on a Plane, and delivers the exact pleasures of a movie in which poisonous snakes are unleashed on a plane to kill an eyewitness to murder. Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction, The Long Kiss Goodnight) knows exactly what he's doing in this movie and knows exactly when to pull out the superbad Samuel L. Jackson stare and deliver the infuriated Samuel L. Jackson bellow. The rest of the cast--including Julianna Margulies (ER), Rachel Blanchard (the TV series Clueless), Kenan Thompson (Fat Albert), David Koechner (Anchorman), Bobby Canavale (The Station Agent), and Sunny Mabrey (One Last Thing...)--play their parts with admirably straight faces and deadpan humor. Director David R. Ellis (Final Destination 2, Cellular) gives the movie the much-needed headlong momentum you would expect from a former stunt coordinator. In summation: A perfect piece of self-aware but not self-conscious high camp entertainment, blending comedy and thrills in perfect proportion. --Bret Fetzer
Product Description
It seemed like an easy assignment: Escort a vital mob witness to the trial by way of an aeroplane. But FBI Special Agent Nelville Flynn (Samuel L. Jackson) doesn't count on an assassin smuggling scores of deadly serpents on board, and unleashing them upon the hapless passengers and crew, midair. Coming across like a mixture of AIRPORT and ANACONDA, SNAKES ON A PLANE blends aerial high jinks with reptilian threat

Okay, I admit that there are a few mistakes in the storyline, and that the special effects are awful, ubt it is a very entertaining movie.
I don't know if it is meant to be funny, but i found it hilarious!!! I won't tell ya what as it would just ruin the suprise.
There was a very bad ending, so it made the movie look absoulutly pointless, but to me it wasn't as it got rid of my boredom.
There are some jumpy bits, but spme parts are predictable, so that kind of ruins it!!
The acting is ok, and Samuel. L Jackson wasn't at his best, but i do like it when he says lets get these mother******* snakes off of this mother******* plane!! lol.
Overall, it is a very good movie which should be bought by peepz who enjoyed Final Destination 2 as this is a laugh, like that.

this film is bad,it knows its bad but somehow and this is a rare thing,it is better for that,yes that sounds odd but this is a silly,no brainer film,the like of what arnie used to star in the 80s,except this premise is probably even sillier.
The title of the movie spoils the entire plot,no im joking,but i think you can tell what the film is about,yes,snakes on a plane.
A witness to a murder is needed by the fbi led by sammy l jackson,so they board a plane to go to trial,however the villains henchmen load the plan filled with snakes and release a hormone that sends the snakes tempers spiralling.We get to know the passengers piece by piece and can tell which ones will probably die,that being the scummy passengers and the very weak and so it goes,the snakes leap out biting faces,necks,arms,blood flowing like a sea,sammy l and some brave members on board fight them off,the plane may crash,silliness ensues in bucket loads,great daft quotes flood screen time,yes this is what we all need.
There will always be a cult following for films like these,they may not do well in the box office,but too many serious films makes us dull,we need films like this that are poor but some work and this is one of them.

Well, after first reading the reviews of others and seeing the trailer for this film, it does what it says on the tin!! If you enjoy films that are slightly OTT, tongue in cheek and often cringeworthy (but still funny and entertaining) this is for you. You have to suspend your beliefs at times or you will find yourself shouting at the screen "Noooo! As if!! etc".
All in all though, this is a good fun film to watch with a few mates whilst tucking into a takeaway. Recommended!!! Enjoy!!

Entertaining and some jumps
Although this is probably one of those films where you are not 'meant' to like it, it was good fun and made me jump a few times lol, watch it and enjoy it

Might be one of the trashiest B-movies ever, but it's undeniably fun

Best Film Ever.
This is a powerhouse of a film with Samuel L Jackson on top form. Him, angry, on a plane, killing a load of snakes and basically just being amazing. Read more

Forget the hype...
This is undoubtedly the worst film I've ever seen. I can go with the "so bad it's good" idea, but this isn't, it's just bad.

A serpent based mess of a film.
This film looks as though a 12 year old kid got hold of a film budget, got his friend to knock up a script, and then produced a film they considered to be funny and cool. Read more

Worse than airline food!
It is obviously a movie that needs to be watched with a rather giant pinch of salt. Unfortunately, even in doing that, it will still be the only thing of taste in this movie. Read more
