After months of endless anticipation, it finally arrived. Would it be the movie to end all movies, or just another rushed Hollywood hack job hoping to cash in on its star power?
Well, I just went and saw it with Kent (of Kentcer.com fame) and the survey says… it was really good (and DVD-worthy). For the type of movie it is (copious creatures senselessly attacking), I definitely put it in the upper echelon, in the same vein as Lake Placid and Slither. This movie is about snakes. And it’s about a plane. And it’s about said snakes on said plane, for which it makes no apologies. Nor should it need to.
The real question is: if Snakes on a Plane takes off (pun intended), will this be a new trend we’ll be seeing in Hollywood? Would Pulse have been a better movie if it had been called Ghosts in a Cell Phone? Would more people have gone to see The Descent if, instead, its title had been Hot Chicks Kicking Ass in a Cave? I think so, too. Now the important thing is to not go overboard like those crazy Brits.
