Snakes on a Plane - Will you see it?
Plot and story, characters with depth, a script with lines that aren't completely stupid and/or hopelessly cheesy, any semblance of reasonably possible events; you don't need any of that shit if you've got Samuel L. Fucking Jackson!
Unfortunately, this movie only has about 5% of the total SLFJ that it needed. After adding in the four bonus stars for the SLFJ that it did have, I give it a total score of 2 out of 5 stars. I don't quite feel like my time was wasted watching it, but I can't recommend it.

Saw it.
The film makers' sin was... they still tried to make a serious movie underneath all the camp. They missed several chances for laughs...
Baggage handler: "The snakes are on the plane!"
Random passengers: "What the.... snakes on a plane?"
Captain: "Mayday! We got snakes on a plane!"
LAX Tower: "OMG, they got snakes on a plane!"
Snake expert: "Snakes? On a plane?"
And then, finally, Sam Jackson can start dropping the mother fuckers.
They tried to make the movie a thriller, but all by itself nobody was going to accept it for a thriller.

Goddamnit. I was afraid of this. The previews did nothing to allay my fears. This is how you fuck up a flick that's supposed to be bad.The film makers' sin was... they still tried to make a serious movie underneath all the camp.
I'll 'Flix it one day, but I ain't seeing it in the theatre.

I figured as much. So far people that saw it in an empty theater were nearly universally disappointed, and people seeing it in a packed theater nearly all loved it.
If there's a special midnight showing advertised somewhere (similar to Rocky Horror, with drunken weirdos in costumes), I'd go see it again then. Otherwise not so much.

Have you all heard about the kids in Arizona who thought it'd be funny to release snakes into the theater on opening night of this film?

I'm certainly going to hell for this, but goddamn, that's more than somewhat amusing.Have you all heard about the kids in Arizona who thought it'd be funny to release snakes into the theater on opening night of this film?

Truth be told, the venom of the western diamondback isn't as bad as some of the other snakes they could've chosen. & dumping some cold-blooded critters into what is probably an air-conditioned theatre means that the just slow down as time goes on.Well, the THOUGHT was funny.Have you all heard about the kids in Arizona who thought it'd be funny to release snakes into the theater on opening night of this film?

Still, some suitably sized garter snakes would've been funnier.
