Movie Review of "Snakes on a Plane"
This is a movie that got much hype basically because of its bad reputation, but after watching it for myself; I realized that the plot really wasn't so bad after all.
I know it definitely made me hold on to my frequent flyer credit card for a while.
Here you have a movie about a guy who witnessed a murder and is being escorted by two FBI agents to LA to testify against this man.
What they do not know is that men who work for this guy put snakes on their plane to kill off this witness before they reach LAX.
The snakes are in a timed crate so that while they are in mid air they will be released.
To ensure an attack, they passed out leis that have been sprayed with a snake pheromone.
Samuel L.
Jackson being an FBI agent spends most of his time killing snakes off one by one while still trying to save everyone else.
One thing that people like about Samuel L.
Jackson is that he seems fearless in many roles that he plays.
This role is no different.
While the movie is hilarious because of the ridiculous quotes in the movie, one does have a bit of fear in them just thinking about the situation if they were ever caught on a plane with snakes everywhere.
As in any survival movie, we learn about what people would actually do if we were caught in an extreme disaster like this one.
Strangers would hold on to each other in fear and hope, along with helping one another.
It is funny how quickly attitudes change towards others when we fear for our very lives.
We get to know some of the characters such as a couple who just got married and are coming back from their honey moon or a little boy who loses his mom.
After getting to know our characters a little better we feel bad when they get hurt or killed.
Overall, I would say that this movie is pretty bad, but it does have some good points that make up for it.
The plot was solid and there was a legitimate reason for snakes being on a plane.
While I can see several different ways to kill a man, I guess we can still account for creative people in the world.
Another good point was the quotes of the movie said by Samuel L Jackson.
One of the most popular ones being "I'm tired of these mother f****** snakes on this mother f******* plane.
" Who wouldn't laugh to a ridiculous quote like that? Only Samuel Jackson could pull off this role.
Even though the movie was bad, it is a movie that I highly advise for everyone to see for themselves.
Sometimes a movie can be so bad, it's good.
