While not as good as the original, still very watchable

Rating: 8/10 (24 March 2007)

It is often difficult for a sequel to live up to the original film it follows, and in that "Final Destination 2" is no exception. The problem is that it was not directed by James Wong, and Ellis, while doing a good job, did not have the vision that Wong did for the first film. That having been said, this film is still a very watchable sequel and bringing back Ali Larter as Clear Rivers, the one survivor of the first film was a definite plus.
It is now a year after the crash of flight 180 and death is out hunting again, as the plot unfolds we find that nearly everyone on his list had some tie to one of the dead people in the first film. Some of the deaths are even gorier than the previous picture but delivered in much different ways. It is this that keeps the franchise fresh. I give it 8 out of ten.
