Extremely Violent but not scary

Rating: Null/10 (3 February 2003)

I barely remember the original Final Destination. The plot sounded creative that death was chasing people who had somehow managed to cheat it.

**WARNING MINOR SPOILERS** I will remember FDII more just because of the violence. This is one of the most extremely violent movies I have ever seen. The director obviously wants to go for the over the top semi-funny death scenes. We get to see people decapitated, sliced, stabbed, and blown up. The difference between this film and many of the same genre is the cameras never turn away. You see the violence and they are very good special effects. If you pay attention, you will know how the character is going to die. I think this was intentional by the director in order to try and build tension.
The movie deserves credit for it's creativity but there but besides a spectacular freeway wreck scene, there is nothing that stands out about this film other than excess gore. It is not scary, does not build tension, nor is it thought provoking. The creativity in the death scenes makes it just above average. This is probably a must see for horror fans but this will not bring new viewers to the horror genre.
Rating 6 out of 10.
