Amazon.co.uk Review
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

Synopsis
It seemed like an easy assignment: Escort a vital mob witness to the trial by way of an aeroplane. But FBI Special Agent Nelville Flynn (Samuel L. Jackson) doesn’t count on an assassin smuggling scores of deadly serpents on board, and unleashing them upon the hapless passengers and crew, midair. Coming across like a mixture of AIRPORT and ANACONDA, SNAKES ON A PLANE blends aerial high jinks with reptilian threat.

Failed to meet even minimal expectations
Okay, so you've got a mass of snakes and Samuel L Jackson on a plane. What's not to like about popcorn entertainment? Well, for one thing, it has to follow a logical narrative and the viewer has to suspend disbelief. The problem is that the film is so badly shot, acted and constructed that it just looks like a joke at your expense. By the end, i was wondering how much Jackson got paid to appear in this, and how on earth something so amateurish could even be made in Hollywood. That's the real point, not that it's brainless entertainment - that's what you'd buy it for - but that it was badly made brainless entertainment.

Ha ha ha ha, crap
If I was watching this on my own I would never have gotten to the end. As it was, I was watching it with someone so I stuck it out to the end. I wasn't expecting much from it, but at least it should have been mildly entertaining in a dumb undemanding way. Unfortunately it was just boring. Seriously boring.

I wasn't expecting logic from the movie, but the logic was too dumb even for a dumb B movie (a boa constrictor that kills and eats a grown man in about twenty seconds?!, everyone being told to strap in before a window is shot open and yet half the characters didn't bother to strap themselves into a chair?!).

The movie was bad. Not so bad it's good. Just bad. Avoid.

complete rubbish
it was never going to be much good but did it have to be so bad? i mean come on this is just mindless cliched rubbish,anyone who wants too watch a really good b movie watch slither and avoid this
