Movie Failure: Snakes on a Plane

If your peers ask you about a movie that you just watched and it sucked badly, I am sure you can spend the whole day condemning about the movie. Today, I shall share with you a little critic on Snakes on a Plane. Firstly, it is not a bad movie after all, but just ridiculous. I mean, why are there snakes on the plane? Secondly, why did Snakes on a Plane failed to make big box office? It just raises so many questions.

So, why are there snakes on the plane? It is basically a set up to kill Sean Jones (Nathan Phillips), who accidentally witnessed a murder of an attorney by Eddie Kim (Byron Lawson) while he was on a joy ride on his dirt bike. So Jones was heading to L.A. to testify at Kim's trial. Pretty smart way to kill someone I guess.

What was the main reason Snakes on a Plane did not hit the box office? New Line failed to come up with a good marketing campaign. This movie was intended to be called Pacific Air Flight 121, but instead, they came up with a silly title. The significant thing about the title is those venomous snakes. Probably New Line had no idea how to market this movie, but they thought they knew. Sadly, this summer blockbuster film did not make its way to the box office.

Since the snakes are so significant, a dude unzips to pee and gets his asset blown by a copperhead; a half-naked chick going for 10,000 feet above-ground flight gets a snake bite at her chocolate chip. A nippy little Chihuahua gets eaten by a viper, while a nasty Brit who hates dogs is swallowed by a python. In the end, it was fun to talk about and had everyone laughing about.

Another thing on this movie is that there is just too much profanity. Samuel Jackson, says "mother*****n'" countless times as the film's cop hero. To summarize this movie, its about mother*****n' snakes on a mother*****n' plane.
