SNAKES ON A (Motherfucking) PLANE

Yes! Yes! YES! It was surprisingly excellent.
Yeah, I’ve been to see SNAKES ON A PLANE with Bouff and JD. My motivation behind this was purely because of the internet hype- I expected it to be a let down because I was expecting so much (like the Matrix Reloaded), but my god, SNAKES ON A PLANE did not disappoint.
You could tell it was directed by the guy who did Final Destination 2, purely because of the gory hilarious death scenes. You could see where the plot was going every inch of the way: the first part of the film is spent building up some backstory for each of the passengers, which makes the inevitable all the more tragic, especially as you know exactly what is coming. There was motherfucking snakes on the motherfucking plane.
Without a doubt it is Samuel L Jackson that makes this film- without him (and perhaps the excellent title), it’d just be boring Final Destination 3, but with him, and the motherfucking snakes, it becomes something else.
The film is laced with humour, which mostly works, although you find yourself laughing more at the over the top action and the snakes… that are on the plane. Kenan from Kenan and Kel is in it- it was nice to see him as I thought he was dead.
The whole film builds to a point where Jackson says the immortal line: “ENOUGH is ENOUGH. I have HAD IT with these MOTHERFUCKING SNAKES on this MOTHERFUCKING PLANE“. A guy on the row in front of me had practically leaped out of his seat and was punching the air in time to arguably the greatest line in cinema history.
The audience in the cinema made it better- they laughed, shrieked and even clapped along with bits of the film like it was happening live in front of them. The audience collectively gasped and laughed when there was a man using the toilet, and a snake was seen slitering up through the toilet bowl… you can see where that was going. It was excellent.
You must see this film. I want to go and see it again. Yes, it’s cheesy, yes it’s clichéd, yes it’s brainless, yes, I’m probably talking this up a little bit too much, but its excellent.
