Diamond in the Rough

Rating: 7/10 (21 March 2003)

How often do you see a good film wrecked by a absolutely horrible sequel?? Too many to count. Usually the constant recycling of material, the same trademark lines and new characters that seem to replace characters that were brutally murdered in the last movie lead me to believe that it is impossible to up-stage an original. I stand corrected. I went and saw Final Destination 2 last Monday and I was shocked to see that it was just as good as, if not better than Final Destination 1. With a new plan, brand new characters (except Ali Larter) and new and exciting ways to kill people, Final Destination 2 stands as one of the most stable horror/thriller sequels that I have seen in a long time. As a 17 year old, I can be too critical, but I can safely say in this instance "keep up the great work David R Ellis!!!"
The best bit(if you don't want to know what happens, look away now!!!) was when that pigeon chasing kid got absolutely pancaked by the falling glass and someone in the cinema yelled out "GET THE MOP!!!"
