Snakes was the most exuberantly trashy delight of this summer movie season or last.

Looming large over all this is Jackson, who glowers and growls and acts the hero better than any actor out there.

Scary as hell! I have always hated snakes, and this tale it to another level. Kept me breathless!!!

This movie was really good, frightening and a little bit funny. But it had a lot of flaws- Goddamn it I sound like a real critic. This was a freaking great movie

This is a coolly efficient, tongue-in-cheek horror-comedy.

It’s the sort of picture you'll either queue all night in the rain to see twelve times or avoid like a Wayans Brothers Retrospective for the rest of life.

The audience decided to sell Snakes to itself, and that became the event--the actual movie could never have been more than another exploitation picture.

The result is not quite a horror movie (too cheerful and can-do) or a thriller (too cheerful and stupid), nor does it parody itself or take itself seriously, thereby canceling out the camp factor. It's more like an improv sketch at 30,000 feet.

Not since Pet Rocks riveted the nation have so many gotten so excited over so little.

The snakes are visually horrible and the actors are not really good either,even Samuel L.Jackson is not good in his cop **** story is stupid but,the movie is enjoyable and i don't why.

A movie that doesn't try to be anything more than an entertaining b-grade action thriller. A thin plot but big on over the top action sequences.

I just watched a whole bunch of computer-generated snakes terrorise a flight. It was a wild flight. There isn't too much excitement as you are stuck on this small airplane for the majority of the movie. The snakes are not scary and the whole film, apart from some gross killing, is lacking any extreme violence. The action is strictly mediocre. Fun to watch but lacking any real substance at all and is often boring. This does not live up to the fun b-movie ride that it should have been.

Yeah wow there really were snakes on that plane, I was just as shook as Sam Jackson was about that alarming amount of bad cgi snakes. 3/10 Jay x
