Final Destination= Atmosphere Final Destination 2=gore

Rating: 1/10 (12 September 2003)

Okay, I liked the first one, I thought it was good, i think it was a hidden horror gem, there were some problems, but it sure was creepy! Then, I rented the second one, wow, this had none of the things I liked in the first one (okay maybe some). The first scene plays out very well, but I hated the guy on tv talking about death (only the kids should know, nobody believed them in the first). The car crash is excellent, creepy and atmospheric, and after that it goes downhill. The frequent prominations are annoying (what happened to the signs?) and most deaths are way too stupid and gory (The fence part, The kids death..) and the when Claire opens the door and gets charred, the fx they put in looks horrible! This has none of the original FD goodness (whats with all the prominations? Is she psychotic?). It does tie up some lose ends, but really creates more than that. Plot hole example: When the druggie saves that other kid, (wait, why is a ambulance headed straight for him??) and he um dies um later, does that mean everyone who almost gets killed will die later???). Well I'm done with my rant.
Final destination: ***1/2 out of *****. This movie: ** out of *****
