One of the funniest movies ever

Rating: Null/10 (15 September 2001)

Some very minor spoilers herein
Final Destination is def. one of the funniest movies of all time. After
a slew of teen slasher movies, it's refreshing to see a movie take
itself so seriously and still be so funny...
Having seen so many people give this movie rave reviews, I must
conclude that they are reviewing in the sarcastic, self-parodic
nature of the film. This movie contains middling acting, a terrible
script and absolutely awful realism.
I understand that we shouldn't expect an awful lot of reality, but
when a movie takes its premise so seriously, one would expect its
death scenes to be a little better than "coffee mug cracks, leaks on
computer, causes electrical shortage, computer explodes, glass
impales woman wo runs into kitchen. Flames follow trail of leaked
alcohol after her, where she collapses and the flames cause the
kitchen to catch fire, while she reaches for a towel and succeeds
in dropping a set of knives onto her, and one of the knives drops
directly onto her chest, point down. Sorry folks. If death really
wanted to knock em off, the bus idea was a smarter way to go.
To see so many people praise this movie is revolting. Even among
the long line of slasher movies, this is not very high. Starting with
Psycho, there is a fine list of horror movies that involve serial
killers with knives and other sharp or unusual objects. Final
Destination does not contain the originality of Psycho or
Halloween, the plot of Candyman, nor the self-satire of Scream. It
contains NOTHING.
Most of the death scenes are laughable to any fan of horror movies
that actually knows the horror genre started long before 1978. So
what do you say about a movie that offers nothing but a
half-original ripoff of an overdone genre quickly in decline and not
worth keeping up with?
Well to answer the final lines of the movie: "Who's next?"
Who cares?
3/10 for some shock value and the creative decapitation
