Snakes On A Plane

Last night I rented "Snakes On A Plane." This film got SO much internet play, and word of mouth spread so voraciously online, that my interest was peaked. I became even more interested when word came out that the director shot additional footage to get an R rating, rather than PG-13.

Plus, Samuel L. Jackson fighting snakes! On a plane!! How bad could it be?

Answer: Pretty bad.

This movie was too bad to be good, and not bad enough to be entertaining. With so many varieties of snakes in this world, I hoped that there would be a greater cross-section of snakes in the film. With one notable exception of a guy getting squished and swallowed by a boa constrictor, every one else was bitten. Lots of snakes, lots of bites - including bites on every imaginable part of the body (Yes. Even THERE.) - but it wasn't enough to make up for a very sub-average movie.

I won't even get into the gaping plot holes and the sudden, dramatic-less ending.

Basically, watch this movie when it airs during late-night TV on the USA Network. Until then, there are many other films to rent. Don't bother with this one.
