1. Snakes was the best instantly disposable cinematic event I've attended since Bride of Chucky was launched on an unsuspecting world eight years ago.
2. This kind of film should be like a porno: Don't even bother trying to come up with a plot, just cut to the money shot.
3. ...mostly delivers what the title promises and the anticipation hoped for...mostly.
4. Put simply, this is quite possibly the most fun you'll have in the cinema all year. If you like the title, you'll love the film. Highly recommended.
5. Imagine if you will that a monstrous, CGI-sized jumbo python has squeezed together Airport and Alligator. What you'd then have is Snakes on a Plane.
6. The movie isn't just mediocre -- it's profoundly mediocre.
7. Snakes on a Plane has an irresistible title and an impressive promotional campaign -- but pitches aren't plots, and marketing isn't moviemaking.
8. Pretty fun and takes advantage of its goofy premise in every way it can ... [but] I really don't envy the position this movie found itself in.
9. The movie plays to every expectation the viewer might have -- the more absurd, the better. In this regard, it doesn't miss a trick.
10. This repitilian horror thriller is the stuff of which nightmares are made.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic 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.
