Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
mattiasflgrtll6 It was inevitable after all. Considering there's so much to explore with the concept set up in the first installment, there was bound to be a sequel. But luckily, this movie is awesome!A character once again has a premonition of a horrible accident, this time a disastrous car crash. A couple of people thankfully are saved... but for how long? There are slightly more survivors in this movie, partly because Clear from the first movie returns (this is only a spoiler if you haven't even seen THAT one). In terms of characters, they were really good. Kimberly and Thomas were very likable, Eugene is hilarious and of course it's also a plus that Clear is back. Speaking of her, she's different in this movie. She's more cold, sassy and doesn't manage to get along all that well. But considering what she has gone through, I think it's commendable character development. She has a lot of scars from previous events and so is not the same person she was before. Even so, I was completely rooting for her. Here, she plays the role of guiding the new survivors in order to help them escape Death. She and... Mr. Bludworth. It would have been stupid not to have him return, so I'm happy he makes another appearance here. He knows even MORE about Death this time, and the scene with him is perfectly uncomfortable. You won't BELIEVE what he's doing while talking to the teenagers!David R. Ellis directed this movie, and with the over-the-top action in this movie, it's easy to see this is the guy who made Snakes On A Plane. He's clearly having fun, but also seems to know where the limit goes here. Sure the action is crazy, but it's FUNNY-crazy! The humor is even darker than the first movie, and I was laughing hard so many times I lost count. That's not a negative thing however, this movie knew what it was doing and so managed to highly entertain me. And there is still great tension, as it often is unpredictable where the movie will go.New twists and turns, many quotable lines, a great cast and is just enough chilling to be interesting. Don't worry, this is a sequel worth batting an eye at.
Dom Nickson Spoiler Alert!!! I really did enjoy the first Final Destination and it did something nobody has ever thought was possible. They have people dying in a series of what appears to be accidental or self inflicted deaths. I absolutely loved the first one so much that I caught this film on TV. Boy was it really lacking any logical need to know information. I didn't understand how Alex, the lead character of the first was the one to die when it really still was Clears turn by the end of the first one. I mean Alex was the only one who know what to do so how the heck did Clear not die??? Then She comes to try and help end the high bodycount. I'm serious at least 4 people we don't care about die in the first half of the movie. Most of the characters were lacking personalities and I truly don't like the main all that much. I give it a 2 out of 10 on account of the awesome death of Rory the Cokehead.
Taylor Kingston I really like this movie. It didn't get a great rating or great reviews, and I honestly don't know why. I think it's a great movie and a great sequel to Final Destination. It sort of continues from the first one, using the first movies experiences and characters.In this movie, we have another disaster. This time, instead of a plane crash, it's a freeway pile- up. Kimberly and her friends are all going away for the weekend. They're driving down the highway and see all of these ironic things. Like a man driving a "drink responsibly" truck, whilst drinking alcohol. That's smart. We see all of these seemingly insignificant characters, and then they all die horribly and vividly in a highway crash. Then Kimberly wakes up from what just happened. She's confused, understandably, and notices everything that happened in her vision is coming true. Like the songs on the radio and other drivers. Then, before she pulls onto the highway, she stops. And doesn't get on. The people behind her, who were destined to die, also couldn't get on, with her blocking them. The the pile-up happens. And sadly, Kimberly's friends die. She tries to explain to survivors that she had a vision and of course, no one believes her. Then she goes to see Clear Rivers from Final Destination. She had checked herself into an insane asylum, for her own protection. We hear how Alex had died recently, and that's why she's in there. So she won't get hurt. She explains to Kimberly that her friends died the exact same order, as they would've on the flight. They realize that Kimberly's friends died last in her vision, but first in real life. Death is working backwards. She gathers the other survivors and she explains. Everyone is trying to keep safe, but sadly, Death doesn't give up that easily.Overall, I give this movie a 10 out of 10.
Jarek Gunther After the financial success hit of the first Final Destination, a sequel had to be thought up. And seeing how the first movie creates potential for a sequel, it seems fitting that another one had to be made and we get Final Destination 2. Yep. Death is at it again. But the question is did they clean up their mistakes from the first film? Did they decide to make the deaths more serious? Are more things explained in this movie as a sequel should do? The answer to the last question. YES. More things are actually explained! That's right. I really liked this movie. I mean, okay yeah, it's not a masterpiece. Miles from it, in fact. But I think it's a very loyal sequel with more things to offer.Here's the story. Kimberly, played by AJ Cook, is taking a road trip with her friends on the interstate. But an eighteen wheeler carrying a bunch of logs passes by. The logs fall off and crash into countless cars, causing a massive pileup, killing many innocents. But this turns out to be a vision of Kimberly's and she blocks the ramp to the interstate to stop several motorists from entering the interstate. The pileup ensues and Kimberly, along with those who were meant to die in the pileup survives. Kimberly believes that all of this is the same thing as the events of the first film in which Death is now after the lucky ones. Desperate to find answers, Kimberly goes to the only survivor of the first film, Clear Rivers, played by Ali Larter. Yeah, Alex died in between films due to… offscreen syndrome. Clear Rivers decides to help Kimberly and the others to find a way to stop Death and find more information about why this is all happening.As you can see, this movie has a very strong connection to the first film—as a sequel should. And more things are explained, like how Death is doing all this. I like how Kimberly goes to Clear Rivers for answers. I like how they demand answers from the mortician, who was very knowledgeable from the first film about how to defeat Death. I like how the survivors become more and more concerned as the deaths excess. Yeah, I think the characters are better in this movie. I mean, yeah, they're stupid in their own way, but I like how involved they get near the end, even the cop. Yeah! A cop actually gets involved in the horror movie and you know what? He believes Kimberly and immediately tries to find answers after the pileup and ends up helping the survivors early on. There's even a deleted scene where the mortician explains how Death works to bring balance in the universe. I just found that really fascinating.Okay, so what's the not so good stuff? Well...like the first film, the deaths are still stupid. In fact, in retrospect, they're goofier in this one. Yeah, they're Loony Tunes territory and more far-fetched. Also, another big change in this film in contrast to the first one is that this movie seems to be leaning towards a little bit of comedy. I guess you can say that since the deaths were ludicrous in the first film, they decided "why not? Make it somewhat comedic. Taking it too seriously would make it even goofier." And the direction they take with the movie just makes it…well, fun. But they don't make it where it's completely a comedy; there's still some suspense in the mix when they try to find more information. Yeah, it's not scary. Just fun.I guess I'm a big sucker for this movie, but seeing how they treat this movie, they really did try to make it a true sequel. Is it stupid at times? Oh yeah. Are the deaths any better? No. But as far as story and characters go, I think it's an advance from the first movie. I know this had a mixed reaction from people, so you can say I'm a fan of this movie. I liked it, despite its mistakes. Next time it's on TV, give it a shot and see for yourself. Just…not while driving.
