No kidding, I agree with you. And, thankfully, that rating had dropped to a 7.8.

The reason why it got such a high rating was because the target audience was the internet-hypers. So, having had its roots in the internet, I suppose there was plenty of reason for it to have had an early high score (that is, before real viewers got a chance to post their opinion).

When I did check the detailed ratings, I saw polarized opinions (even when it was 8.4). Believe it or not, Snakes on a Plane consisted of mostly 10s and 1s.

But, I took it that this thread was joining the fake hype and making the movie feel large than life. I joined into the mood, enduced the fake "placebo" affect, of sorts, and actually enjoyed the movie to its fullest.

Sadly, the biggest realization was that, with the right motivation... almost any movie could be a Snakes on a Plane.
