Critics Consensus

Snakes on a Plane lives up to its title, featuring snakes on a plane. It isn't perfect, but then again, it doesn't need to be.

Snakes on a Plane | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle A solid little B-movie arriving cloaked in the dodgy garb of a fanboy phenomenon, Snakes on a Plane really ought to garner some sort of award for truth in advertising: It's exactly what it says it is and very little else. Rated: 3/4 Sep 2, 2006 Full Review Snakes on a Plane | Rotten Tomatoes (2) David Denby New Yorker Intentional low camp always seems wrong unless it's very funny; in trash, one wants clumsiness, even a certain tackiness, and this movie has the production values and the high-tech fluency of a much bigger movie. Aug 28, 2006 Full Review Snakes on a Plane | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Peter Bradshaw Guardian All those CGI snakes can be quite shudder-inducing. But there is also something cheerfully ridiculous in the way the film switches to rubber snakes for hand-to-hand combat. Rated: 3/5 Aug 26, 2006 Full Review Snakes on a Plane | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault A catchphrase, a marketing triumph, a hipster phenomenon. Fortunately, it’s also a slyly entertaining flick divorced from all that. Rated: B Sep 20, 2022 Full Review Snakes on a Plane | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies So as a thriller/comedy/horror/survival mashup, “Snakes on a Plane” squeaks by simply because it unashamedly embraces its cheesiness and absurdity. Rated: 3/5 Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Snakes on a Plane | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Stephen Silver Tilt Magazine An unforgettable phenomenon, based on a forgettable movie (15th anniversary) Rated: 2/5 Aug 27, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Charles R The movie is a guilty pleasure. the first time I saw it I hated it, the more I saw it the better it got, until it turned into a hey nothing is on ill watch snakes on a plane. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review James B It's extremely violent and disgusting and ensures viewers to have a fear of snakes and planes. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review Terry S Would not have enjoyed it nearly so much without Keenan Thompson ! Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/23/23 Full Review Hermione M This is one of those terribly perfect and perfectly terrible movies that you love to hate watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/23 Full Review DanTheMan 2 From the director who bought you the worst Final Destination movie, Snakes on a Plane is an exploitation flick that knows exactly what it wants to do and gets the job done expertly. It's not perfect and doesn't have to be, coupled with Samuel L. Jackson in tow; Jackson makes this movie far more than the disposable B-movie it was initially conceived as. He bestrides Snakes on a Plane with the authority of someone who knows the value of what he's appearing in with that signature fierce glimmer in his eye. Ridiculous in every sense of the word, Snakes on a Plane is nothing if not a riot with a few friends or after having down a couple of beers, yes it's stupid and yes it can be pretty sleep-inducing, but who honestly cares when it more than lives up to its title. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/05/23 Full Review Andreas K You get what it says. Snakes on an airplane, and Samuel L. Jackson as a cop in the middle of it. It's fun and entertaining, but in the end it's still not a good movie but absolute trash. And at this level there are actually slightly better representatives. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
