Movie Review -- Snakes on a Plane
"Feel good" movie of the year......just kidding.
Went and saw Snakes on a Plane on Friday with a couple people. And let me just say...I think the title of the movie is total crap. I didn't see a plane until about 10 minutes into the movie. And no snakes appeared until about 20 minutes in. I think this is totally disingenuous[0]. I don't know how they could (in good conscience) name the movie "Snakes on a Plane".
The movie, on its own merits, is fairly terrible. The movie experience, however is quite enjoyable.
It's been a long time since openly heckling and yelling at the screen has been permitted or even encouraged at a movie I went to. This can enhance the movie experience by large amounts. I definitely got my $10 worth going to see this movie, although it was more of the experience of going with friends, yelling at the screen and general laughter at the plot/characters/dialogue that made it an enjoyable movie-going experience.
The pirates abstained from voting on this movie for fear of the sequel to this movie being "Snakes on a Boat".
[0] My big word of the day.
