Default Snakes on a Plane.....

......has to be, without question, the worst film that I have ever seen. Ever. However, it is so awful that you absolutely must see it. I cannot remember when I had laughed so hard for so long. My sides still hurt.

I am not wasting £10 to see that rubbish, I don't see many films now due to the cost of getting in. The last film I saw this year was MI3 which was better than MI2 but not as good as the original, and anyway on all these films wait another six months and you can rent the films on DVD for £3 a night.

£10? Unbelievable... We pay half the price here, sometimes even less.

10 pounds is crazy. Here in Chicago it's $6.50 during the day and $8.00 at night.
But I have to see SoaP, it looks so bad that it'll be good.

The cost at my local cinema is £10 at night and £8 in the afternoon, a friend of mind lives in London and he pays anywhere from £10 to £15. It's rip off U.K. for you.

And if you buy snacks........ Well you get the picture.

The whole concept for this movie seems so odd. Maybe I'll have to try it when it comes out on DVD just for the laughs.

Samuel L. Jackson has really been pimping this movie on the talk show circuit but the previews looked terrible (too much fake CGI) and the plot simply stupid (but hey, catering to people's fears of terrorism and air travel is profitable). Sounds like simply the latest piece of trash with this once respectable actor's name on the credits (who like so many other good actors now seems only to care about a paycheck instead of producing good movies).

Geez.....$8.00 to see a movie you might not even like?

Oh if it only were in the old days when movies cost a dime and you always got a double feature. They actually had GOOD movies in those days. Alfred Hitchcocks movies were the best.

Dunno where Steed is living but up here I can pay £5 to see a movie. Just don't buy drinks or popcorn, or take your own in. Baggy trousers help

Come on Steed life here isn't that bad.

XabbaRus, your up Scotland way, I'm down here in the south and it's cost alot of money. A mate of mind up in Manchester can still get a pint for a £1 try getting that price down here. We pay any where from £1.70 to £2.30, that's just an example of life here in the south.

PS Lucky You.

That's just the thing. There is no pretence about this being a great film, or a good film, or even a bad film. It is, in fact, a horrific product, and bills itself just as that. It's camp, and was created to be camp. To rate the film as a serious artistic piece is to miss the point completely.

Hahahaha! The title alone should be your first clue as to how bad it is going to be. The second clue is the fact they didn't release it to critics before releasing it in theatres so as not to risk a bad review.
