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

While thriller/horror films are my "guilty pleasure," I'm generally found watching something allegedly more substantial. I pre-judged SNAKES as a computer graphic animation fest for adolescent gamers. Well, I guess, gulp, that it is, kind of, sort of. But as the very clear-eyed Amazon review suggests, this film knows itself. Early on I laughed when, before passengers or crew are aware of the impending situation, a snake below deck strikes and severs a power cord: "We've lost our avionics!" Well, folks, if the jet's electrical systems are gone, that's all she wrote. Some hilarious stuff, some intentional, some perhaps less so; but this is a Big B-C-D Cup Hollywood Film out to make us happy and there are a few little surpises for even the most jaded thriller fan--even if most of us would not admit it to the wife or friends at work. Go ahead, proceed--with mild caution. With modest expectations, you just might have a little fun.
Rating:  - Snakes on a Plane!!??!!
Snakes is a fun movie, but has absoultey no reedeming quailites, except for the fact that is fun. chances are good, you will not watch it many more times than one or two,but for the price that i picked it up for (about 42 cents) it is worth it. much cheeper than going to the movies.

After a year of insane hype, the ridiculous movie that spawned it finally arrived. Deliriously cheesy, S.O.A.P. is a riotous blend of Nature Runs Amok and In-Flight Terror subgenres. It plucks the best elements of both and tosses in a bit of TV Cop Show witness protection intrigue for good measure. Beginning and ending with beach montages, (Which threw us considering the film is about an airplane. During the opening credits - which slide from beach shots to dirtbike stunts with all the narrative grace of a Mountain Dew commercial - we wondered if we were in the right theater?".)
Nathan Phillips, the motorcrosser in the opening, witnesses a bloody mob hit in Hawaii and is immediately almost taken out by members of the Eddie Kim gang. Luckily, Agent Samuel L. Jackson whisks him away to the safety of police custody in a hilariously hambone hotel-room shootout. From here we move to the airport - where you'll be thrilled to be out of the leafy wilds of Hawaii and into the sterile, claustrophobia-inducing halls and compartments of the travel industry.
Right off the bat, we're introduced to our flight crew, which features a few working girls, a sexually aggressive co-pilot, and even a token "Air-Mary" (or at least he seems to be). In the tradition of clichéd cop movies, Juliana Margulies is on her "last day on the job" and just wants it to be an easy one; however, somewhat NOT in the tradition of clichéd cop movies, she's not a cop - she's a stewardess. And we also learn that ... Read More
Rating: - More of Sunny Mabrey Please...
Snakes on a Plane brings to the screen the story of an eyewitness to the murder of his father whose testimony could put a major criminal behind bars for good. On his way from Hawaii to Los Angeles, however, the airplane is flooded with countless snakes of all kinds and sizes turning the aircraft into a morgue...
Samuel Jackson and the rest of the cast carry out their performances well though the acting is nothing extraordinary. The pleasant surprise comes in the shape and form of Sunny Mabrey who as Tiffany the stewardess turns quite a few heads.
The setting, the plot, the dialogues, and the music are all good.
In short, Snakes on a Plane is a movie worth watching if you are in the mood for a decent thriller. 4 Stars

[written: 26-08-06]
I can actually say this movie was quite enjoyable. For one thing, you get to know the character's personalities a little better than in the movie 'United 93'. The visuals are spectacular, the suspense builds and you jump in your seat a few times too. Just the right number of people die so as it doesn't add up to a predictable fantasy where everyone is saved in the end. The only problem was the ending with the learning to surf scene. After all the panic and trauma on the plane, it seemed cheesy, falsely-sentimental and gooey and as if the whole snake drama had never happened. Also they leave a lot of questions unanswered which is kind of annoying.
If you love plane drama movies then this is surely for you. I have seen just about every other disaster movie that involves passengers on a plane, and all have been about terrorists; so it was kinda nice to sit back and watch something a little less predictable and imaginative for once.
