I just got home from seeing Snakes On a Plane. I must say that, technically, it could be the worst film ever to be created, but, ironically, it might just be my favorite movie of all time.
This really doesn't make much sense but you would have to see it to understand. It made me laugh harder than I've laughed in a movie in a long time. Just hearing Samuel L. Jackson say anything caused the entire theatre to burst into laughter and cheer.
I don't care what people say, I'm telling everyone to go see some mother *$%#ing snakes on a mother $%*%ing plane!

I agree it's amazing. I've never been in a theatre where everyone is waiting for one line to be said. And when he does say it everyone yells it. A very fun experience.

Sounds like it could turn into a Rocky Horror Picture Show type of thing. Argh, I'm still not motivated to care but oh well movies can be different things to different people.

man this movie was very entertaining, and really well made in the middle section. Great old school horror flick. And you guys need to stop this little pissing war. Who wants to be known as the guy who hated Snakes on a Plane?
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

I read this on the IMDb message boards, and I thought I'd re-post it here because I think it sums up the movie pretty well.
quote:
Some films just 'get it'. Now here's a message for all the humourless fools knocking around who keep ripping on the movie, films that 'get it' are BEYOND CRITICISM. You can mistake what is tongue-in-cheek and unpretentious as 'stupid' but that's your problem, you are just unable to understand the pure, childlike wonder in the eyes of all those who realise the true genius of Snakes on a Plane.
Its more than a film. Its a way of life. Its a reflection of both everything right and everything wrong with Hollywood, and I'm willing to bet a helluva lot that its the funnest movie of the summer.
Because we think we're better than other people? Is that why they hate us? Because we're snobs? Is that it Hill? Hill? Hey isn't that why they hate us Hill? I'll get back to you. It looks like you're too busy stroking your ego...
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

The mishmash of humor types made it unevenly paced. The final 20 minutes were fantastic, and several inspired sequences sprinkle the rest of the film, but I wanted more laughing-at, not laughing-with, moments. Sam Jackson's unexplained and unquestioned entry into the film was beautiful, though; that was exactly what I was hoping for.
I liked Keenan or Kel, whichever one that was.
Why do Muslims hate us? Are we making too many badass mother****ing movies?

Ah, wait, I got this one! It's because they're really snakes, right? The Muslims are snakes? The whole movie is actually a metaphor for racial profiling on passenger jets? Dang, no wonder they'd hate this movie and us.
Anyway, I haven't seen the movie, so I don't really have any thoughts other than to make a random comment about gross generalizations. Jury's still out on whether or not I will see it, but I'm doing my best to keep an open mind about it.

lol, I loved the way SJ was just all of a sudden in that guys house too. I personally laughed throughout the whole thing, but I really could've used 3 or 4 more scenes of snakes biting gentalia, but hey that's just me.
