If you like me were one of those people who said this movie sounds so ridiculous that there's no way i cant see it but secretly knew it would be awful then i think you'll be quite surprised.
At first i thought that it would be terrible cause it was a silly idea then i thought it would be terrible cause it had garnered so much unexpected publicity that the studio would make the film more serious then it could pull off but i must say after coming from a staff show of it that i felt it was quite tactfully pulled off considering the story they had to work with.
Sam Jackson, excellent as usual, always bringing colour to a part that otherwise would have be dull and i would like to say he carried the film but he really didn't the ensemble cast were all excellent in the roles with not one bad, token or in any way unnecessary character springing to mind, the script is well written and the direction while not the best, quite admirable in its small confines. My only problems with this movie is first and foremost the snakes are a bit.....well bad, they're cgi and not good cgi at that but it didn't in any way hinder my enjoyment I'm just not finding a lot of flaws worth pointing out. The only other thing i can think of and again will most likely not ruin the full enjoyment that anyone can get from this film but it is extremely violent, violence in movies doesn't bother me whatsoever except when its clearly there for the cringe factor which i felt a lot of the violent stuff in this movie was.
All in all though this is a violent, sometimes witty, enjoyable romp that went above and beyond my expectations. So, Snakes on a plane, it does exactly what it says on the tin!
