9 January 2007
What should be said about "Snakes on a Plane?" Is it enjoyable? Is it recommended? With arguable the most internet hype ever, is "Snakes on a Plane" worth that hype. Was it a disappointment or an instant cult classic? Well, you will have to read this review to find out.

Sean Jones witnesses a murder at the hands of crime lord, Eddie Kim. After a failed hit on Jones' life, Federal Agent Nelville Flynn convinces Sean to testify in Los Angeles against Kim and help put him behind bars forever. In order to get to that grand jury, Jones and Flynn must fly across the Pacific Ocean, but Kim and his men try to prevent that by taking the plane down with the help of poisonous snakes hidden in the cargo area. Anarchy erupts and blood is splattered. There is now a war of man (and woman) vs. snakes 30,000 feet in the air. Who wins? Watch this movie to find out.

"Snakes on a Plane" was horrible, yet at the same time completely amazing. Your movie experience will be one of the most fun times you will have. The idea of making this movie "so bad it is great" really worked. This film is loaded with as many clichés as you can think of for both action and horror films of the 1980's and 1990's. The visuals were horrible. There are holes in the plot that are so obvious even people who do not look for any will find them. All of the characters were stereotypes. What makes "Snakes on a Plane" stand out so much is that the makers know of all of the films flaws, but instead of trying to correct by pointless explanations, they just add more.

The acting is also very mediocre. Samuel L. Jackson was the star of this film as Neville Flynn. Julianna Margulies was a flight attendant named Claire Miller. This movie also centered on Sean Jones, played by Nathan Phillips. Rachel Blanchard played a Paris Hilton wannabe named Mercedes. Flex Alexander played a rapper named Three G's. David Koechner played one of the flights pilots, Rick. Even Kenan Thompson shows up as Three G's bodyguard, Troy. It truly looks like everyone had a blast making this film!

Overall, if you are up for it, you will love "Snakes on a Plane." "Snakes on a Plane" is an instant cult classic. There is not anything bad to say about this movie. It was everything expected. You should expect snakes, you should expect a plane, you also expected the snakes to be on the plane, and lastly you should expect Samuel L. Jackson. What more could you have asked for? If you want to watch a movie purely for the fun aspect, watch "Snakes on a Plane" with a group of friends. This movie is easily recommended!
