Undeniably yes. Snakes On A Plane may, in fact, be in the top three most supremely entertaining films I have ever seen."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark 4/5 "Snakes on a Plane is the missing badass cousin of the original kitschy Airport films from the '70s"   DVD Verdict   Bill Gibron D "The greatest trick New Line Cinema ever pulled was convincing the world that it had something of great amusement behind their decision to hold Snakes from view up to the last minute. Now that the slither is out of the bag, let the yawns begin."   OhmyNews.com   Brian Orndorf "The action is more repetitive than clever (snakes slide and bite, victims clutch wounds and gasp)."   Common Sense   Cynthia Fuchs 63/100 "Dumb and silly and fun, just not as dumb and silly and fun as I'd hoped it would be."   Cinemania   Dan Jardine 3/5 "The actual movie has moments of inspired tackiness but not nearly enough to merit its one hour and 45-minute running time."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 5/5 "Snakes on a Plane is kind of the ultimate B movie... One of the very best times I've ever had in a movie theater."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 2.5/4 "...a silly, undeniably fun piece of work that certainly lives up to its promise (if anything, some folks might be disappointed that it's not flat-out bad)."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 5/5 "There is much screaming and hissing and biting and ... oh, it's marvelously stupid. And exciting. And just plain fun."   eFilmCritic.com   Dawn Taylor B- "... an exploitation film that because of the well-executed gimmicky snake angle will be ensured staying power as a cultish camp classic."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3/4 "This slitheringly good ode to '80s movie-style inconsequentiality is destined to satisfy anyone willing to leave their brains at the door and go along for the turbulent ride."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B+ "It's a relief to discover that Snakes on a Plane actually is what we hoped it would be: a really, really enjoyable bad movie."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1/4 "The equivalent of Spielberg during Raiders dropping thirty people in a row into the Well of the Souls, having them stare down the same snake, letting it lunge and then dropping another person down."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress 3/4 "It hurts so good. Mike, Cro, Tom, we need you..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. 2.5/4 "Still, this infectious high-in-the-sky thriller radiates with an exploitative off-the-cuff sly wink that's both calculating and campy."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng D- "The ultimate example of heavy hype and puny payoff."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "Samuel L. Jackson is on record as saying this movie isn't for critics. He's right about that. The problem is, it's not for many other people, either. Unless they're stoned. Or drunk. Or just enjoy making fun of bad movies."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/5 "Jackson is key to keeping Snakes on a Plane from slithering into complete preposterousness."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 1/4 "Snakes on a Plane has an irresistible title and an impressive promotional campaign -- but pitches aren't plots, and marketing isn't moviemaking."   Cinematical   James Rocchi 3/4 "Strictly B-movie but rocking with energy."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 7/10 "Pretty fun and takes advantage of its goofy premise in every way it can ... [but] I really don't envy the position this movie found itself in."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 7/10 "[A] blast for anyone who appreciates scares, laughs and all-out entertainment in their summer flicks."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 6/10 "I kept imagining the Zucker brothers doing this. Could there be a sillier premise for a movie than snakes on crack?"   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "While it's hard to recommend a film called Snakes on a Plane to the Jane Austen crowd, I have no reservations telling fans of this genre they will get exactly what they pay for."   Light Views   John Larsen 2/5 "click to read full review [Greek]"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 3/5 "As I said, SOAP makes no apologies and that is the beauty of it. It's rare that a movie is presented as "It is what it is". "   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 3.0/4.0 "... (for) people who want to cheer and thrill to absurdity and many random snake attacks, a good time should be had by all."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 4/5 "It's not surprising that Snakes on a Plane throws every known cliche at you in the course of 100 minutes, but this works to the film's advantage."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr C+ "...offers some surprises, most notably an amusing parody of the original 1970's disaster flick Airport..."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2/4 "The whole enterprise has the sweaty sheen that comes from trying too hard to be cool."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "This is the stuff of direct-to-video trash, but what fun trash this is."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik B- "Snakes on a Plane may not be a good movie by conventional standards, but with the proper amount of love via audience participation, this genre picture is exactly the sort of silly fun that mega-priced, B-grade tentpole films often fail to be."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "[V]ery much in the tradition of that genre of socially aware, psychologically insightful films of the 1960s that Truffaut called cinema du serpent..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "One important reason why Snakes on a Plane works is "supercool" Samuel L. Jackson. Quite honestly, I don't think the film would be as good if it were Josh Lucas, or Dennis Quaid, or Kurt Russell fighting the snakes."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B "I imagine the four screenwriters divided it up: "I'll make a list of places on the plane the snakes will be found, you do body parts they can bite, you do items on a plane that can be used as weapons, and you do things that can go wrong."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/4 "Unsure of whether to deliver scares or laughs, this aerial action-adventure winds up failing to consistently offer either, straining mightily, and ultimately futilely, to be all things to all people."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "You half expect them to wheel George Kennedy out for a cameo."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 3.5/5 "Has the thinnest imaginable premise (see the title) and yet manages to be more fun than most big-budget summer blockbusters."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline "Its genre elements are completely honed down to their basest elements and exploited for the most fun possible."   Stranger Song   Rob Humanick B- "A diverting bit of faddish silliness; enjoyable for what it is, but presuming more in its oddly postmodern way than it has any right to."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux 3.5/5 "While Snakes on a Plane isn't nearly as tight and twisted as it could have been, it'll no doubt tickle its intended audience endlessly."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg 3/4 "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times."   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson "Snakes on a Plane could have been great, good-bad fun. All it had to do was live up to its name."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 8/10 "This repitilian horror thriller is the stuff of which nightmares are made."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger B "New Line has nothing to fear, for Snakes on a Plane is a thrill, seeking, action-packed joy ride that will have you jumping in your seats."   BlackFilm.com   Wilson Morales 3/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito  (1 - 47) of 47 OFCS Rating: 72% Fresh Page   1
