I've read some very bad reviews of this movie on IMDb, along with some very good ones, so I thought I'd throw my tuppence worth into the ring by asking all the people who've given the movie negative reviews just what they were expecting from this film? An intellectual piece exploring the notions of airborne terror and snake behaviour in captivity?
The movie is called "Snakes on a Plane" for God sake - you should know just from reading that title that you're going into watch a cheesy, brain dead, completely over-the-top action movie, and on that score, it doesn't fail to deliver. Disengage your brain, sit back and watch as the quite frankly hilarious mayhem unfolds.
From my personal perspective, everything about this movie works, from the paper thin "plot", through the (quite possibly intentionally) woeful CG snakes, to the ham acting delivered by the entire cast. Samuel L. Jackson's performance is never more than entertaining, and the rest of the cast back him up quite admirably - particularly Rachel Blanchard and Juliana Margulies - whoever thought the dour one from ER would take so well to kick ass action movies?
I'd put this movie into the "so bad it can't help being good" category along with Anaconda, although it's much better than Anaconda because it doesn't have the monumentally talentless J. Lo mugging her way through every scene!
Treat this as the makers intend you to treat it - like a cheap, disposable thrill ride, and you won't fail to be entertained by it.
A solid 9 out of 10.

I've only ever seen a few episodes of this show while on holiday in the US, and in the knowledge that it replaced Sunset Beach on NBC's Daytime schedule, I decided to give it a try on an otherwise uneventful weekday afternoon. I'm extremely sorry I did - NOTHING happened at all during the hour it was on air, other than me having to witness some of the most truly atrocious acting and writing I've ever been forced to endure.
What is WITH this show? It's got a friggin' Orangutan in it! It's so truly, utterly dire that it makes General Hospital, and even Sunset Beach, look like works of high art in comparison.
I have to say, if its a spoof of the soap opera genré, it isn't a very good one. I came away finding it dull, boring, completely stupid and quite wilfully sh*t!
