So, the internets would not be quiet about SOAP. Homemade T-shirts? Music? Crappy blogs that only talked about Snakes still probably had more readers than mine? Check, check and check. It seemed like a lot of hype for a movie whose title told the whole story. On Sunday I went to the movie expecting a laugh, and I got it. What I didn’t expect was an exciting, entertaining movie who could make fun of itself. Obviously you can’t go to a movie like Snakes on a Plane and expect a realistic, clever storyline. Honestly, the movie might have been better if there were snakes on a plane for no apparent reason. The movie had some major plot holes and confusing events. (”You’re going on public transport instead of a safe, private jet to confuse the bad guy? What?” “Why is the bad guy wearing a white suit while he beats a man to death?” “What? The movie’s over? That’s the ending?” etc.) The best parts of the movie take place on the plane, most of the time spent off the plane is weird and unnecessary. This isn’t really that surprising seeing as people who work in the industry wrote the lame parts while the good parts are from a first time scriptwriter’s original story, Venom. This being said, there are still some pretty funny parts in the movie. This isn’t really bad, though, as the job of a film is to entertain, and Snakes definitely does that. As my friend, Harry, put it “It is the best/worst movie ever.” SOAP is ridiculous yet very enjoyable, if you can get in, see it before it leaves theaters.
