Advantages: Erm... Disadvantages: Pretty much everything.
-bad fun that some movies bring, there's only so many times that I could watch these snakes kill passengers before I became incredibly bored. Snakes has the elements of a cheesy B-Movie, but I would've enjoyed the film's status a lot more had it not been so keen to relish the thought of its own garbage. I find that most of the fun comes from picking out the inadvertent bad points in a movie and wondering how the hell the movie editors managed to let them slip past.
Another reason to hate this film is its marketing. Rather than paying homage to the other High-Concept films that inspired its creation -- Alien, Predator and Jurassic Park are just a few examples -- Snakes was marketed as if it was a work of art for embracing our favourite action movie clichés. New Line Cinema suspiciously hid away the footage from critics so that they couldn't get ...
Advantages: Good start.... and a few comical bits Disadvantages: everything after the start really
the tree finished his little chat with his oriental friend and someone took a few shots at the witness the only other action for quite some time was when the stewardess threw a tantrum when her passenger list went up the wall due to the FBI commandeering the first class?although there were a few half decent comical moments involving a fictional rap artist who has an aversion to dirty things, a dog in a handbag who takes a liking to the rap man and a rather camp sounding air steward who actually surprises everyone at the end..?
But as for the alleged action I was waiting for, well, I had to wait another hour and a bit before I began to get back into the movie? it was basically seventy odd minutes of pure padding, consisting of some dodgy rubber looking snakes, who seemed to see everything in an illumines green colour, being released from ...
Advantages: Funny, fast paced Disadvantages: Bit daft in places
Samuel L Jackson stars in this all action film about well obviously some snakes on a plane! But there is a bit more to it than that!
Sean Jones (Nathan Phillips) witnesses a murder by big time mobster Eddie Kim (Byron Lawson) in Hawaii. He is spotted and Kim comes after him. Samuel L Jackson is FBI agent Neville Flynn who has the job of getting Sean from Hawaii to LA in order to testify against the mobster and put him away. Reluctantly and fearing for his life Sean agrees to this.
The FBI think of all possible scenarios of Eddie getting to the witness, but they didn't think of this one. The mobster arranges for numerous deadly snakes to be loaded on to the plane and then sprays pheromones onto the lays which each passenger will be wearing. (The flowers you wear around your neck in Hawaii). The pheromones cause the snakes to be ...
