[Anonymous]Oct 27, 200610Anyone looking for a cinematic masterpiece will be disappointed with this film. However, the film's title is Snakes on a Plane, and the film delivers snakes on a plane. It's pure fun and entertainment, and plenty of snake-on-human action. Two thumbs up!

FoOdzAug 18, 20067[***SPOILER***] When you hear the title, "Snakes on a Plane" this is exactly what you hope it will be. It makes all of your funniest jokes about ways to die from snakes on a plane, and puts it to the screen. Jackson is at his campy best, and at his very best when he throws out standard Sam Jackson-isms. And really, who liked that stupid dog?

BrysonicAug 18, 20069Much better than I thought it would... some truly funny moments.
-
-
RobertJ.Aug 19, 20069Any critics who say it sucks are just trying to be cool, and they need to try harder. This is some of the most fun I've had watching a movie in quite a long time.

BosGuyAug 28, 20061totally worthless movie with no value whatsoever. i'd rather have spent the time answering work email. yes, it's that bad.
-
-
LaurentAug 20, 20061VERY boring until 10 minutes before the end - as an afterthought - when the real Jules kicks in. Avoid.
-
-
WaisyB.Sep 18, 20068While its story and premise is really weak, the jokes(if only 5 of them) and Samuel Jackson's great acting were really REALLY entertaining. Snakes on a Plane is the best way to spend a night with your friends.
-
-
DianeM.Sep 3, 20069Having read about the hooting, clapping audiences, we tried it for ourselves. I agree with David A.; "guilty pleasure" it is! Relax and have fun! We laughed and clapped. I will be purchasing the DVD!!

-
CherBOct 15, 20067Turn off all your intelligence, and this movie is worth a 9. But, since we are not all Americans, I will not give it that rating. Though for the sheer number of 'oh my god' moments this movie has, it is worth a 7. Cheesy entertainment at its best.

JohnKOct 7, 20060This is the worst movie of all time! If it was any worse it wouldn't be called a movie. The acting, the story and the special fx were terrible. I would rather pay money to watch Barbie than watch that horrible movie. It is easily the worst movie around.
-
-
SamJacksonAug 17, 200610Hell yes!
-
-
TonyD.Aug 17, 200610Probably the best movie of the summer. Its greatness comes with its subtleties. This character driven drama shows how we all have horrible snakes inside of us.
-
-
ChrisB.Aug 18, 200610I expected this to go down as fast as a Thai hooker, but instead it sailed beyond my muthaf-ckin expectations. some truly shocking and entertaining scenes and some very memorable and hilarious lines make it an epic in the category of awesomely bad and hilariously outrageous

KimC.Aug 18, 200610One of the best theater experiences I've ever had. It really helps to go in a packed theater so see this film while its hot and don't be afraid to yell "SNAKES ON A PLANE!" once in a while, good times.
-
-
ChrisK.Aug 18, 200610One note, I'm never using the airplane lavatory ever! Sam was the man and that's all that anyone can ask for!
-
-
TroyB.Aug 18, 200610This is what going to movies is all about. Excitement, energy, escpaism, the howl of the crowd, and a movie with the sole aim of giving the audience what it wants and what it paid for: no nonsense entertainment. A true rollacoaster experience. It truly was the people's movie.
-
-
NickB.Aug 18, 20066The meeting of expectations - which were set low - was surprisingly satisfying. And I don't know if I'm embarrassed to say that I was fully engaged and entertained all the while feeling like I should know better. Advice to potential viewers: just enjoy it and don't expect more than the title.

DanB.Aug 18, 200610Sometimes you just want to have a good time. Look for the stuffy, pretentious critics to pan the hell out of this one. All I know is that myself, and the entire audience I saw this with was laughing uncontrollably and bursting into spurts of spontaneous applause. If you're even slighly intrigued by the concept, you'll love this movie.
-
-
JerryH.Aug 18, 20067The best bAD movie I've ever seen in the theatre. This film fails on so many filmmaking levels but never stops entertaining -- mainly through belly laughs of absurdity, violence, stretched cliches, bad acting, and some one liners of which some are intentionally great and some are just well to horrible not to laugh at -- I was totally entertained. Enjoy.
-
-
MikeG.Aug 18, 20067Taken seriously, it is one of the worst films ever made, but it is also one of the funniest. You will enjoy this if you go with a crowd that gets the movie for what it is: A b-movie that makes fun of itself and the genre.
-
-
DaveT.Aug 18, 20068Snakes are serious business. So are planes. Sam Jackson understands this. Therefore, when snakes cause trouble aboard his plane, you best watch out.

Q.Aug 21, 20060Quite possibly the worst piece of .... to be released as a major motion picture in the last 10 years. All you people giving this movie good ratings because of the internet buzz surrounding it and the "so bad it's good" effect are fools, pure and simple. You have been suckered by a handful of bored, clever people, and you really need to start thinking for yourself. You'll be happier.
-
-
BrianV.Aug 21, 200610Outstanding movie-going experience. Clearly not the manifestation of poetic genius, but this is a movie you have to get out and see in the next two weeks while the crowds are rowdy. Easily the best time I've had at the movies.
-
-
WongitAug 20, 20069Hands down the funnest movie in a very long time. this summer saw some great flicks, some serious (miami vice) some dumb (talladega nights, but still awesome) but Snakes is just fun, its awsome and honestly i felt like cheering at the very end of the film. Great all around.
-
-
LaurieV.Aug 20, 20068Forget the snakes, it's Samuel L Jackson on a plane. He carries this movie from being merely entertaining to being iconically good.
-
-
JacobF.Aug 20, 200610This is the best movie i have seen all year. This might be sthe best movie of all time. The way the audience participation with the movie just makes it more fun. It is so fun to watch. Of course it is it's Snakes on a Plane!!!

MikeD.Aug 23, 200610Pure genius, the best and worst film of all time similtaneously. Can never get tired of these ----- snakes on a ------ plane
-
-
LisaK.Aug 20, 20069Really, your enjoyment level while watching this film rests partly on the audience, a necessary participant. The well-timed hissing behind us as well as in front of us had me in hysterics.

GregK.Aug 17, 200610I honestly didn't think it would live up to the hype. The intro is cheesy as hell, the acting is brutal but damn are those snakes freightning. A must see movie of the year, not for the faint of heart, but an entertaining thrill ride of emotions.
-
-
ChrisM.Aug 17, 200610Best movie ever.

R.C.Aug 18, 200610One of the best Dark Comidies ever made.

DarleneAug 18, 20068GREAT movie! one of the best worst movies of all time. The hype, that doz guy gettign the tattoo..the movie itself was a riot!!!

SarjuS.Aug 18, 20068Snakes on the screen, puke on the seat next to me, and I still had an amazing time. You do the math.
-
-
JohnK.Aug 18, 20069It's no work of art but so what, it doesn't try to be. Best time I've had in at a movie in awhile. Have some fun and check it out.
-
-
JoeyCAug 18, 20069Honestly, I didn't expect much. Damn I was wrong. Trust Sammy L Jackson.
-
-
RobertB.Aug 18, 200610I haven't laughed that hard at a bad movie in a long time!!!! Very entertaining
-
-
MatthewB.Aug 18, 200610You will Laugh, You will Scream, You will HISS! Snakes on a Plane delivers with everything it promised it would... "MotherF-ing Snakes on a MotherF-ing Plane!"
-
-
MarkB.Aug 18, 200610This is the best time I've had at the movies ever. It is an experience. As a parody, it worked wondrous magic over me and the entire audience I saw it with.
-
-
K.C.Aug 18, 20068It might have helped that the theater was packed, and the audience was clapping along to the opening music and cheering for both Sam J and the snakes, but I had a great time.
-
-
ZachF.Aug 18, 200610It turned out to be exactly what I had expected for a movie about snakes on a plane vs. sam jackson. Fantastic!
-
-
DarkSynapseAug 18, 200610Go see it. Really. It's better than you would expect...a perfect end to the summer movie season.
-
-
KathleenO.Aug 18, 200610This isn't Citizen Kane, nor was it intended to be. It was hysterical and the audience reaction was awesome. I can't recall ever having so much fun at a movie.
-
-
EricGAug 18, 20069Perhaps the most upbeat film of the summer. It's hard not to have fun--there were many moments of spontaneous applause in my showing.
-
-
SteveH.Aug 18, 20068I've never been so entertained by such a bad film.
-
-
JeremyAug 18, 200610Easily the most fun in a theatre. Ever. Someone said this was the perfect movie to end the summer. I am in total agreement. I really hope this movie does well, it absolutely deserves it.
-
-
MaxAug 18, 20069I saw this movie on the premier night and from start to finish people were applauding and laughing at how ridiculous the movie was...if you go into the theater expecting a scary thriller you will be disappointed...but if you go in expecting to have a fun time and see Samuel L. Jackson kill some snakes in insanely amazing ways then you will enjoy yourself.
-
-
NatAug 19, 20068What did you expect? Anyone who expected this movie to be a truly good movie must be out of there mind. It's so bad, it's good, and they knew that when they made it.

MarcoPoloAug 19, 20068

JohnB.Aug 19, 20069The snakes are symbolic of current difficulties being experienced in the air today. Like Sma J said " I am tired of these mother f....ing snakes on this mother f........ing plane."
-
-
SKAug 19, 20065Cons - plot, script, cast, acting, directing Pros - less than 2hrs long I was bored through most of the movie. Only laughed couple times. I felt like I was sitting through a plane ride waiting to get off. Yawn!
-
-
MikeR.Aug 19, 200610You get what you paid for and it kicks ass.
-
-
AdrianH.Aug 19, 20069Definitely the most fun I've had going to the theater this summer.
-
-
BrianGAug 19, 200610What can I say, with all of the hype this movie received coming in, I figured I would be probably get let down to some degree.... but not at all it turns out. This movie is everything the bloggers and all the little myspace kiddies hyped it up to be, and a little more imo. Definitely worth paying to watch.
-
-
NateAug 19, 20069I've never seen an audience more involved in a movie before. You know you've done something brilliant, or horribly wrong when someones death is meant to be a dramatic moment and people can't help but laugh at it. If you go to the movie, you have to go expecting the absurd. Only then will you be able to love this movie.
-
-
ClayAug 19, 200610If you're looking to have a good time with this movie, you will. It is everything ANYONE could have wanted it to be, and if you don't like the movie you should have known not to go to begin with.
-
-
PatrickAug 19, 200610Snakes+plane+Samuel L Jackson=Best Film ever. I dont need to say anything else.
-
-
YamatsukaEyeAug 19, 200610Instant cult faovourite. Suprisingly funny. Suppassed my hype for the movie.
-
-
LarS.Aug 20, 20060Should have been name "Idiots in Movie Theatres". It's what's wrong with American film making. Samuel L Jackson must be laughing all the way to the bank and laughing at the idiots who bothered to rate this "C" movie!
-
-
RyencokeAug 22, 200610Wow. This exceeded my expectiations by about a million times, I expected a really brutal movie. Instead I got a movie that was funny and cool. Everybody in the theater was cheering when someone died in a cool way or for a matter of fact, at all. Check this one out.
-
-
AaronO.Aug 22, 20069The in theatre experience of snakes on a plane just can't be beat. Samuel and the snakes deliver ample amounts of fan service throughout!
-
-
MikeBAug 22, 20062Pretty silly. Good effects (snakes), but a virtual remake of Poseidon Adventure with snakes instead of water. Yes, some laughs, but not enough to save it. Interesting how some reviewers here give it good marks because it is stupid. I deducted because of it.

BryanAug 20, 20068
-
-
MarkAug 22, 20069This movie was totally fun. All the fun Dead Man's Chest was missing. Jackson is cool as hell, though his big line should have been delivered more grimly/sternly rather than yelling it. I think that would have worked better. Some cheese, like the acting of the guy who played Eddie Kim, but nonetheless a fantastic theater experience. Audience was into it.
-
-
AllistairP.Aug 23, 20065Probably a blast with an awesome audience, but a bore with an empty audience. And we were drunk off our ass so that's saying something. NY and LA enjoy it while you can, everywhere else good luck finding a fun, interactive audience.

DavidAug 23, 20060So bad that it is impossible to believe the viewers positive scores given this trash was released? I have heard from a few that their opinions were not published. Makes one wonder it this site is on the up and up.
-
-
PatD.Aug 23, 20069A movie best enjoyed in a packed theatre full of rabid SoaP fans. Wow, great moments in the movie. Lines that got people out of their seats. Everybody goes nuts for that one line. You know the one.
-
-
GoffyAug 24, 20061So bad and campy that I laughed at times. But seriously who comes up with crapola like this?
-
-
LadyfingerAug 24, 20060One of the worst movies ever made. It is a below a B movie if you can believe that.
-
-
SidiotAug 26, 20061Samuel Jackson get a one. The rest of this crapola gets a minus ten.

-
DanH.Aug 29, 200610Awesome movie if you shut you brain off and just relax.
-
-
38Neither as good nor as bad as you'd hoped it would be: It's just a mediocre exploitation picture with an inspired premise (succinctly spelled out by its title), loads of gratuitous gore, a dash of equally gratuitous nudity and enough inanities to make you wonder if Ed Wood rose from the grave to serve as a creative consultant on the project.
-
The film failed to be frightening, suspenseful or dramatic but accidentally succeeded in being absolutely hilarious.
-
75Looming large over all this is Jackson, who glowers and growls and acts the hero better than any actor out there.
