NO NEGATIVE!! NYT gave it a -solid B-!!!!!!!!!!!!

Associated Press gives it 3.5 stars out of 4!

http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Movies/08/18/review.snakesonaplane.ap/index.html

Yeah, I agree that the NYTimes review wasn’t negative, it seemed like Manohla liked it pretty well, for what it was, which was awesome :)

I just love the pic on the CNN review. Snake? Uh? Arrrrrrgggghhhh!

That’s a good solid review for the NY TIMES.

For Manohla Dargis to like a movie, it must be pretty awesome. She doesn’t like ANYTHING.

“In other words it’s “United 93” without the tears”

that’s the best line out of the NY Times review.

Jesus Fuckin Christ this movie owned in every possible way. I was so nervous going in but SLJ DELIVERED THE GOODS and THEN some!

WHOOOOOOO!!!!
This is better than a Bush steal.. I’ve been up all night waiting for the numbers to come in..
SLJ is our next PREZ!!!!!!!!!!

best movie viewing experience i’ve ever had, only partially thanks to the internet buzz, and surprisingly moreso because of how FREAKIN AWESOME THIS MOVIE WAS

Who am i? just some girl.

72%!??!?!??!!?!? Fuckin A! That’s AWESOME! For anyone who knows anything about RT then you know that’s GREAT! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The NYT review that is linked in your post was written by MANOHLA DARGIS and it is defiantly a positive one. He calls it an “amusingly crude, honestly satisfying artifact”.

A nasty take.

A nasty take.

New York Times review changed from negative to positive.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution gives it a B- here:

http://www.accessatlanta.com/news/content/movies/stories/0818snakesreview.html

Really funny review though. And the said he’d go see it again!

my own little nod to SoaP and traditional critics

http://spavis.blogspot.com/2006/08/snakes-on-review.html

I saw SNAKES ON A PLANE last night in Harrisonburg, Va (special showing, bitches). The only word I can use to describe that movie is snake-tastic.
“FUCKING SNAKE GET OFF MY DICK!”
The theater was full of energy….not so much of people. I think there were maybe twenty other snake fans there, including my friends. Every time something amazing would happen, which was pretty often, we’d errupt in cheers of “YEAH SNAKES ON A PLANE!”, and when Samuel L. Jackson said his infamous line “that’s it! i’ve had it with these mother fucking snakes on this mother fucking plane!”, I think I cried a little from sheer joy.
I give this cinematic experiance five out of five stars. It has everything; surf scenes, boobies, sheer terror (yes, i jumped a few times), romance, hilarity, heel-in-neck action, baseball bats of doom, red bull product placement, sterotypical black guys, OCD black guys and a pissed off British guy.
My expectations were set pretty low….but this was actually a pretty good movie…no lie.
“Who’s your daddy now, bitch?!”
If you see one movie about snakes on a plane in your lifetime, make it “Snakes on a Plane.” You won’t be disappointed, I promise.

lol, that’s one of the best reviews I’ve ever seen from the NYTimes!

I have a review of Roeper’s review of Snakes on a Plane:
http://community.livejournal.com/snakesonablog/87157.html?style=mine

“one of the loudest cheers in the theater down here in Florida was when the plane comes within 20 feet of crashing in the ocean only to swoop upward at the last minute.”

OMG I forgot that one too!!! Yeah people went **crazy** when that happened!!! Everyone was screaming “Sam, you’re the man!” and “My hero!!”

Its funny, how a critic can say it wasnt what fans hoped for, when all i hear from the fans is how great it is. what losers to think thier opinions are everyone elses

At the risk of being a self-promoting blowhard…

Four stars out of five.

http://www.bullz-eye.com/mguide/reviews_2006/snakes_on_a_plane.htm

One question, though is it just me, or did iPod Girl disappear after her one scene? I don’t remember her living or dying. Anyone?

I’m sorry, I heard that this movie was made with fans suggestions and that. Can someone tell me please where can I send future suggestions for upcoming movies? I would appreciate an answer. God job with the movie.

Awesome movie! Bring on the sequel!

what did that guy who you said wouldnt like it cos he doesnt want to be wrong about it. egbert or something?

MSNBC calls it Sssssssensational, the most fun you’ll have this summer. Bought my tickets to the 10pm show, LI, NY. Thanks to this blog for keeping us entertained till the movie actually came out!

The San Francisco Chronicle put a straight-to-website review up. 3 out of 4 stars (clapping man, in Chronicle parlance).

“the best time you’ll have at the movies all summer, if not all year.”

My local paper gave it a bad review. This isn’t shocking. They also gave

Sin City D
The 40 Year old Virgin C
American Beauty C
Lord of the Rings:Return of the King C

So ya know Snakes on a Plane with a C is in pretty good company

Booty Go Thump!!

Three G’s for life!!

I saw the 10pm show 8/7, and struggled to find the right words to describe it. Luckily, my wise and kindhearted cousin had already posted the right words:

triumph in the face of motherfucking adversity
Current mood: snakes

tonight i was touched. not by an angel, not by the myriad gophone customers from my store i note appear on the megan’s law website, not even by my own hairy hand. no, tonight…tonight i was awed…by the power of one man’s struggle against nigh impossible odds. the one man i’d ever want watching my back when i’m at the brink…your friend, and mine. that’s right. samuel l. jackson. tonight he not only saved the life of one important on-screen witness, but an entire theater of rabid moviegoers. we weren’t there to experience the next brokeback mountain (i have yet to experience the first), we weren’t there to see the future of digital filmmaking. no, this group, from varying ages (mostly 20s) and racial backgrounds (mostly white) came together as one, with a singular purpose:

to see samuel l. jackson get these motherfucking snakes off that motherfucking plane.

…and in the process to tazer, kick, shoot, and various other things i won’t mention them into mighty, unadulterated submission. i don’t need to tell you that the movie is the greatest thing made by humans. you know this. what i need to tell you is that the sense of camaraderie felt among the disparate peoples in this theater, the sheer joy felt among all involved as sam fucking jackson screams obscenities while tazering snakes in the face…it felt like rebirth, like i had rediscovered my fellow man and how screaming random obnoxious shit in someone you don’t know’s face can represent the bonds of brotherhood. nevermind the fact that during the entire spectacle some intrepid groups in the back rows saw fit to pelt the crowd with rubber snakes…the sheer geek euphoria at every new cliche, every ridiculous call to arms…it didn’t matter that everything we saw on screen at any given moment was absolute bollocks. tonight i felt the awesome might of film, it’s ability to join people together in harmony as they scream excitedly at people that can’t hear them. tonight i felt the power of that which al gore so lovingly unleashed upon the world, how the internet could turn a shit movie with no discernable plot into a shit movie with no discernable plot that kicks all kinds of foreign ass. and most importantly, tonight i realized that life isn’t about tackling the big issues. it’s about getting together a group of your closest family and friends, grabbing some popcorn, and enjoying seeing a woman get bit by a cobra in the tit.

life is good.

For Immediate Release - Dateline Hollywood:

Did you see the movie “Snakes on a Plane?” I can’t wait for the sequel to come out, “Dogs on a Train.” It’s about a train full of rabid Pit Bulls that break out of their crates while some negligent keeper was feeding them. The train can’t be stopped, because it is an Amtrak Express and their track record for late arrivals has been ridiculed recently in the press. Management refused to stop the train. Once the mayhem ensues, the hero keeps the dogs from tearing the passengers apart by launching milk bones from a slingshot. He is quickly devoured by the dogs and we really never find out who he was. The government has the best solution. They set up a Gatling gun at the side of the tracks and shoot tranquilizer darts through the side of the train. The story comes to a tragic end when an oncoming train is diverted onto the same track named “Frogs on a Freight.”

Newsday gave it 2 1/2 stars out of four.

Well, I don’t know if I can top Chris up there… heh heh… hit the nail right on the head… But anyway, here’s my review, posted the minute I got home last night: http://jemovies.livejournal.com/77380.html
I have been deeply touched by our camraderie. Snakes on a Plane: it brings the peoples together.

Did anyone notice that Brian’s hit his million mark? No? Yes? Well, in any event congrats, man!
WOOHOO!

Snakes.

There were snakes on that motherfucking plane.

My life is complete.

WHAT was the Washington Post reviewer seeing????
Not what -I- saw last night.
I’ll go with ‘The Gray Lady’ ( NY Times) review
Too awesome for words..got my name on the netflix list and WILL buy the DVD…
Hmmmmm…a large screen TV is in my future

Snakes On A Plane ON TOAST!!!!

IT’S MOTHE#$%#IN’ TOAST!

As seen on MSNBC!

http://cgi.ebay.com/Snakes-On-A-Plane-On-Toast_W0QQitemZ130017745267QQihZ003QQcategoryZ1469QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

SNAKES ON A PLANE ON TOAST!

^ Am I mean to dislike the late comers? Yes, yes I am. Ahh well come one and all even reposters of stories we’ve seen ages ago.

I saw it tonight (yeah, I’m posting again) as opposed to last night. There were loads of teenagers in the theater. When Sam said his famous line, people not only cheered, they stood up and cheered. It was…emotional. :-) Snakes on crack! Ha ha.

My local paper has a set of blogs, and in one, a guy found himself a real herpetologist and asked him what parts were unrealistic. That’d be…98%, I think. ;-) But he acknowledged that most people would understand that it was all creative license and not believe that any of that is actually possible. But…you SO shouldn’t suck venom out by mouth…man.

Man, that was one funny movie. Awesome. It delivered what it promised–snakes on a plane.

I’m loving the reviews. Looks like most of the press has hopped on the bandwagon.

Here is my review:

http://movies.modernguy.net/reviews/movie-review-snakes-on-a-plane.php

Thanks,

Neil Miller

The Columbus Movie Guy

Having seen this movie I take back every negative thought I’ve evern held towards “Hollywood”. Now all I got to do is figure out how Samual L Jackson can play Holden Caulfield battling snakes (and phonies) in a prep school…

Aye dudes,

I live in Venezuela so I haven’t seen it, but I wanted to say that the whole reaction to the movie has made my year. I really enjoyed reading the reviews and all of your opinions.

I specially love this line by the Philly guy who didn’t like the movie:

(the crowd) cheered enthusiastically when Jackson delivered the tagline already made famous on the internet, “Enough is enough. I have had it with the snakes on this plane!”

I mean, fuck.

By the way, Chris, about those people at the back of the theatre throwing rubber snakes, I know at the theatre where I work we got FedEx’d a box of rubber snakes and we were allowed to do whatever we wanted with em. Origionally the plan was to actually stay at the back of the theatre, and throw them at people during the show. Unfortunatly the plan died when 20 people showed up.. but it would have been epic.

ps, dogs suck at fighting giant snakes.

I saw he hit the 1,000,000 visitor mark, congrats!!!

“After a while we’re stuck with a one-joke concept that got old months before the movie came out and gets older still as the movie wears on.”

Can someone have this blog owner email me. I have a project I would like them to manage for me. Its for my new environmentally friendly [cell phone/cigarette lighter] device. I am trying to eliminate all the disposable plastic lighters in landfills. Of course its a pretty cool gadget in it own right too.
Thanks

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! I have HAD it with these M-F’in ADVERTISERS on this M-F’in BLOG!!!

Seriously, I wish Brian would post a notice–If you aren’t coming here to talk about how wonderful “Snakes on a Plane” is, BEAT IT!!

Anyway, here’s my local paper’s take on it–I was surprised when I found it was positive, but then I learned it wasn’t the usual movie critic, who hates EVERYTHING good. ;-)

http://tinyurl.com/zjjj8

I’m tired of the personal journal reviews. Though I guess the studios might care so I won’t bitch….too much.

Armmitage112 thanks for using tiny url. Perhaps you will inspire others with their silly long urls.

Has ebert/roeper reviewed it yet?

Oh I just saw…yay Roeper hates everything good!

Greatest mother#$#@*&^ movie ever!

Newark (NJ) Star-Ledger gave it 2 1/2 stars.

I would give it 4 out of 5. It was fantastic.

I don’t really know if I want to see it…. seems to me that the build up was more fun than the movie ever could be….. am I wrong?

4 out of 5 stars here in Arizona where we know snakes

http://www.azcentral.com/ent/movies/articles/0819snakes0819.html

The Chicago Tribune gave the movie 2 out of 4 stars in today’s issue. I thought the movie was better, but that must be just me.

Oops, didn’t notice before I posted, but…

CONGRATS ON 1 MILLION VISITORS!!!

[/capslock]

omg i loved that mavie i would give it a straight 4 and by the way buddy was a hottie!!!!!!!

Fucking snake on my dick!

Live in small town and was one out of five whole people who attended one of two screenings this afternoon. Was one of two laughing and screaming. The cleaning crew, my sister, and I stayed to dance to the ending credits. I’ll rate the flick four out of four for pure entertainment. No leis or mumus for me!!

Movies.com also gave SoaP an A.

Saw it and loved it, laughed and cheered, right up to about ten minutes before the end when I realized that Jackson would never go toe to scale with the great big boa constrictor that ate the British guy. How can you end the movie without Samuel L. Jackson fighting the mother snake!? I had a great time, but when I figured out that turning the air conditioning back on was the big battle, I was let down. After the movie, my buddy Gary and I (we put Snakes on a Plane - Rough Cut on YouTube) came up with four big fight scenes in five minutes that could have been a better end. Urgh! I’d still say go see it, though. Three fangs out of four.

[...] But apparently, not everyone seems to appreciate its greatness, as it’s received some < a href=http://www.snakesonablog.com/2006/08/18/snakes-on-reviews/>mixed reviews. Fortunately, there are some critics who seem to get it. [...]

The movie isnt even PROFITABLE!!! HAHAHAHAHA!

THERE IS A GOD AND HE LOVES MY SCALY FRIENDS!! This movie was doomed from day one. For you that were rabid about it, did you pump of Ishtar too? LOL I love when things work out. Horrible movie that deserves to end in the annals of failure. How about the next movie “Writers on the Unemployment Line”!

Hey SnakeOwner–you may know snakes, but you know nothing of movie greatness. Most reviewers actually liked it, if you bother reading them. And who cares what critics think, anyway? The TRUE fans LOVED it, and that’s all that matters. DVD sales will more than make up for it. So make like a snake and bite me. :-p

Hey SnakeOwner–

LOL–”Document not found” on all 3 links–”Who’s your daddy NOW, B—-!” ;-D

A San Diego radio station’s Musical Movie Review gave it a B minor, on a scale of A to G.
