The heel thing was pretty crazy, I covered my mouth and everything at that.

Damn that was a funny movie, but I wish my audience was more enthusiastic. There was just one other person that was into it and not even her boyfriend was enjoying it as much as she. Out of a crowd of 20, only three people were really getting it.

Spoiler:
I could not stop laughing when the light went out real quick and the random guy in the back yelled, "It's the snakes!"

Much better than I expected. Honestly, I was expecting a terrible movie. For example, I expected the sets to be shoddy, bad acting and just overall poor production value. I have to say, I rather enjoyed the plot, I thought the casts of characters (however ridiculous) were interesting and of course I found the movie hilarious. Internet hype aside, I think I would have thought the same of the movie.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I saw it opening day and it was everything I expected it to be. I really loved the gore effects in there. So good to see some great special effects.

I agree, but I am not an expert on anacondas, but in the movie it looked like the snake had the teeth of a dog...it was quite odd looking.

Aren't anacondas supposed to have really sharp, tiny teeth inside their mouth? Or maybe that was a different species of snake, I dunno... I wish there was a Komodo Dragon. They kick ass. Then again, if there was one in the movie, they'd have to change the title to "Snakes and a Komodo Dragon on a Plane".

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I went to a midnight showing of Snakes on a Plane. We got in there an hour early, and as everyone walked into the theater the people that were already in there were yelling "SNAKES ON A PLANE" at them. "What do we want?" "Snakes!" "Where do we want them?" "On a plane!"

I missed a lot of the dialogue because the audience was screaming so loud.

-We missed the first thing Samuel L. Jackson's character said to the kid because everyone was screaming for him.

-We screamed everytime Samuel L. Jackson came on the screen.

-We screamed everytime the damn plane was shown.

The audience's reactions were wonderful, and there was a guy in the back of the theater yelling out Pulp Fiction quotes the entire time. The movie would have been funny without the crowd, but it was a million times better because of them. I'll probably buy the movie, but I probably won't watch it unless there are a bunch of friends around to watch it with me, because, really, it won't be much fun to watch alone.

I saw the movie saturday night with two friends. 'My audiance' was pretty tame compared to what you guys have said. Altough I remember at the beginning someone was like "oh shit, snakes on a beach!" and the audiance laughed.

The whole movie was awesome, and towards the end someone else was all "PS2 Westside!", at Jackson's PSX comment. I even joined in when I shouted out during the ...uh... second bathroom scene "Sucks to be him!", getting a general laugh as well.

Some dude kept yelling 'Snake Vision' during the movie. God it was hilarious. The venom effects were kinda "ew" and some of the attacks were "Ah shit!".

Spoiler:
My favorite death scenes were the first one and the British guy. He totally deserved that (and not for the dog, just for being a prick).

I can so imagine that happening. Just thinking about that is hilarious. "It's the snakes!"

I can't even say a "token black guy" was in the theater since me and some of my group were probably the only not-nigga people in the theater. It was hella fun though.

I didn't get to see it until Saturday since I was out of town for Friday. A buddy of mine and I went and enjoyed it with the other 20 or so people there.

We found some things hysterical, but I'm sure the movie would have been a much better experience had I still been in Denver. Some of us did hiss every once in a while and cheered when a snake would do something sexy. I didn't have a shirt with me like I wanted to, so I did the next best thing I wore one of my DragonForce tour t-shirts.

One thing I wasn't happy with at the theatre was the girl who sold me my ticket. After she did, she just bugged me about saying that this movie was stupid and was a complete waste of time for anyone. I wanted to stand by and ask her what her idea of a funny movie was, but, didn't have time to. That's the part that really sucked about seeing Snakes on a Plane in motherfucking Riverton, Wyoming.

I'd say the movie was a masterpiece. It had damn nearly everything I love about cinema: Samuel Jackson (Muthafuckin' SHAFT, I can dig it), some intense animal fighting, boobs, that guy who played Champ in Anchorman and some amazing quotableness not seen for a while now. We saw the movie with about 30 some people and it was great, the audience was really into it and we cheered when Samuel Jackson's name flashed dureing the opening credits. All the "oohs and aahs" were well placed and it had some great gorey effects for good measure. I was very pleased with this one.

Considering it was made for 30, I don't think anybody is complaining.

This movie will be a huge DVD seller, methinks, and word of mouth seems to be pretty good, so it might do similar business next weekend.

Well, it looks like David Tuckerman is complaining. But yeah, I predict good DVD sales, at least. And the movie's not out of theaters yet or anything.

That's a good prediction. One of my friends who likes movies but hates the whole theater atmosphere said he would check out SoaP once it comes out to DVD, so you know more people are going to check it out since its usually more convienient to watch it at your leisure at home.

So what's the usual amount of time for movies to come out on DVD after a theater run? 3-6 months?

I couldn't stand this movie. I went into it expecting more of a self-effacing parody, but what I got was a bipolar mess. It alternates between the ridiculousness and balls to the wall spectacle of snake biting, and trying to tug at your heartstrings.

The movie fails because it doesn't carry the B-movie theme out far enough. It tries to be genuine, and in doing so it turns into just an overblown, unnecessary action flick, rather than the subject of comedy that all the marketing made it out to be.

One and a half stars, max.

i just watched this movie today i totally loved it. Its one of those movies where you either love it or hate it. After watching the movie though, i can say that i would never watch this movie by myself cuz it just takes all the fun and laughter away. Some very disturbing scenes, although they were hilarious if you're with people. Cant wait for the sequal
