Shadowed by a Great OriginalA Guilty PleasureOr Not

Rating: 7/10 (30 March 2015)

Taken on its Own Terms, these types of Movies have to be Compared to its Peers and not High Art. This is either a Guilty Pleasure or not.
The Final Destination Sequel doesn't have the Luxury of being Groundbreaking or Clever. This is Number 2 and it is Spinning Off those accolades and delivering a Cash-In and seems like it was done Only for just That.
It means that this is More of the Same. It might be that the Third Entry can go for Deeper Insights and Suspense, but it was not to be for the Follow-Up. The opening "Highway to Hell" pile up is one of the most Visceral and Smashing Car Crashes ever put on Film. It is Stunning.
The rest of the reveals are no where Near as Engaging and are Nothing more than Semi-Clever ways to Countdown those that have Cheated Death.
The Formula shows signs of boring Repetitiveness in the Dialog about Death and its Plan. It Has become more Airy-Fairy in its explanations that were there in the Original but then it was all New Stuff.
Now its just seems Blah, Blah, Blah...Death's Design...Blah, Blah, Blah, Who's Next?, and so forth. The Gore is Great and the "Fun" is there if You Turn Off Your Analysis and sink Into Your bucket of Popcorn.
But if the Third Final Destination doesn't Get Smarter it too will Sink under the Sameness. But even if it doesn't, well, at Least it will be another Guilty Pleasure for Fans of the Type, Like This One.
