A catchphrase, a marketing triumph, a hipster phenomenon. Fortunately, it’s also a slyly entertaining flick divorced from all that.

| Original Score: B | Sep 20, 2022

So as a thriller/comedy/horror/survival mashup, “Snakes on a Plane” squeaks by simply because it unashamedly embraces its cheesiness and absurdity.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 25, 2022

An unforgettable phenomenon, based on a forgettable movie (15th anniversary)

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 27, 2021

Good bad fun right through to the crazed final act, and Samuel L. Jackson's ridiculous performance as the FBI agent who just wants to kick some asp is guilty-pleasure gold.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 20, 2020

The fact is, the film isn't as bad as it wants to be, which isn't a good thing if you are going for that campy B horror movie feel.

| Nov 20, 2019

The giddy awfulness of it all that makes it what it is - a wildly entertaining bad movie.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 6, 2019

This is a good-looking film, and Jackson is just so much fun to watch. The other horror films that are out there? This one's a slither above them all.

| Original Score: B | Jan 5, 2018

A movie about snakes on a plane does not need to be straightforward; it only has a shot if it is either genuinely scary or so incredibly over the top it's funny. Snakes on a Plane is neither, but maybe Snakes on a Boat will be better.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Mar 30, 2011

Few studio-supported films match its B-movie nirvana of stupid-goodness. It's exactly what its title suggests and more ? the proof in the primal levels ranging from basic exploited fears to the crowd?s roaring reactions and howls of humor or horror.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 8, 2010

A snarky genre exercise and its own late-night sketch parody, it parades nothing so much as the force of the public's lowered expectations

| Aug 30, 2009

Although the film's production company New Line retooled the movie from a PG-13 to an R rating with ideas and dialogue from web fans, "Snakes On A Plane" is a boring ride.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 14, 2007

It hurts so good. Mike, Cro, Tom, we need you...

| Jul 10, 2007

Its genre elements are completely honed down to their basest elements and exploited for the most fun possible.

| Original Score: B- | Apr 25, 2007

Its trash pic spirit locates funny nuances of human behaviour.

Full Review | Mar 15, 2007

With entertainment this cardboard and weightless, isn't a response like disappointment disproportionately complex?

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 30, 2007

Snakes fails for the simple reason that it is a terrible, terrible movie.

| Original Score: 1/10 | Jan 11, 2007
