I have to see more info here (and I do wonder if I actually will). Still label me curious/suspicious.

Opening night, of course! I've already read the novelization.....it was a crappy book but it'll make a really awesome movie!

All I've heard about this movie are a bunch of people telling me it's a big buzz on the internet. What does that signal to you? That most of those people will like it because they're telling themselves right now that it's great. That's not so cool. However, I'll see the movie before making my mind up about it, like every other movie. But if those snakes are the only source of fear in the movie, and they're CGI-ed, they are going to need to put so much great Samuel L. Jackson performance into this movie that it makes every, and I do mean every single one of his previous movies look like he was warming up his entire career to just do this one movie.

I said Heck No!! Only because my fears are flying and snakes, so that makes one scary nightmare of a movie for me.

Just the title 'Snakes on a Plane' is enough for me to be interested, I have a feeling it'll be really bad, but who knows! One of my friends has been waiting for this movie for ages so I'll probably go and see it with her.

Also, I heard a rumor that the makers of the film were going to change the title to something else (I've forgotten what), but because of all the hype, Samuel .L. said that if they did change it to something else, then he'd leave the film.

I will be there on the special midnight showing...........this movie will rock, even if it isn't Academy Award material, just all the hype about it on the internet will make it a box office hit.

Samuel L. Jackson is a good actor, he has been in some real turkey movies in his career, but I don't think this will be that bad.

There are a lot worse movies out there now, and I am sure bad ones are on the way. Let's give this one a break until it proves that we were all wrong.

:roll:

I am not going to see this "overhyped" trash. I think it will flop and will probably get a few Razzie (oscars for bad films) nominations. But that's just my opinion. i'll probably be wrong.

The whole draw of the film is that Samuel L Jackson joined the cast because of the title. nothing more, nothing less. When the title was changed, he got pissed and told the studio the title was the reason why he was doing the film.

And that's how the internet hype caught on, that and his already legendary line "m****rf***ing snakes on this m****rf***ing plane".

I think if Samuel L Jackson is as cool as he usually is in this film it should be a very entertaining B-movie. Because that's what it is, a B-flick. The concept is dumb. Sam Jackson is what's gonna make this thing work I think.

I like Sam Jackson, and I like the occasional B-movie, so I'm going to see it. Besides, what else is there to see in August?

This movie doesn't appeal to me at all; therefore I said Heck No!

I guess you missed the part where the whole point was that it will most certainly be a terrible movie. That's the entire reason it is as popular as it is. Look at the title and tell me with a straight face that it'll be a masterpiece.

It's supposed to be one big joke.

I agree. It will be awesomely bad! If you know how to watch it, you'll hopefully enjoy it, the way I LOVED seeing House of Wax in the theater. If you're expecting Pulp Fiction + Snakes + A Plane, you're probably setting yourself up for a horrible night at the movies, and nobody likes that.

I won't watch this. Seems like a run-of-the-mill [and bad] Hollywood production. And the fact that people seem to excuse it's predicted lameness by saying it's supposed to be this bad just puts me off that much more. I mean, then why not have fun with every lame movie that comes out? Most movies just get bashed, and this one shouldn't be any different (if it's that bad).

I might see this. It looks a complete piece of crap, but if viewed in the right way, I think it has the ability to be viewed good in the sense as it's so ridiculous it becomes an entertaining comedy. That's my kind of expectation, anyway; I saw the trailer before The Break Up, and by the end of it, I was laughing my head off.

I'm just going to rent it when it comes out on DVD. So I guess I'll vote Heck Yes! :lol:
