I caught an advance screening last night & let me just say SNAKES ON A PLANE KICKS ASS!!!!
is it a masterpiece? no, not by any stretch of the imagination.
But it's so over the top & so much fun!!! The snake gags are great...especially the 2 bathroom scenes, and Samuel L Jackson is still a bad mutha fucka
...and let me tell you, if Mace Windu said "That's it! I've had it with these muthafuckin sith in my muthafuckin temple!!!!" right before he tried to kill Palpatine, the sheer bad-assness of the statement would have had little orphan Anakin pissing in his robes & he would have been too over come with awe to intervene...Palpatine would have died, Anakin would not have turned to the dark side & the empire would have never risen, the Sith would have disappeared & the Jedi would have never been killed off.
Luke & Leia would have grown up with loving parents.
Luke would have been a great pilot just like his father
i'm sure the odd intergalactic battle would have taken place from time to time, and then, eventually, another war would break out, and Luke would be a 'hero' just like his father was
Then, one day, some cunning saboteur would get to Luke's ship, and we, the audience, would be treated to the next great summer movie...
