Rating:  - Cheating Death Again
Another movie about: you can't cheat death. And if you do; than the death will come back at you at any given moment to finsh you off. A lot different from the first Final Destination and much better than the first.Another vision about how people are going to die, but this this time the vision is a lot more thrilling and gruesome than the first, such as: people on fire, logs through the head, or getting chopped in half at the torso. Then that movie takes off into a non-stop thriller and more gruesome accidents than the first and as soon as the we get introduced to Clear Rivers again, the movie becomes more and more interesting as the characters figure off that death is working backwards. Much, much better than the first; not as scary and thrilling than the first, but a lot more better than what you would expect from a sequel. This sequel did what a sequel is suppose to do: carry on the storyline and be better than the first film. In other farther words: this movie will keep you on the edge-of-seat and filled with action, thrills, and blood and guts. This is movie to see if you want to see one of the few sequels that's better than the first. This movie is very good and suspenseful. For you slasher lovers, this is movie to see; for you thrill seekers; and for you people who like to watch really good movies, this is the perfect film for you.
Rating: - Sooner Or Later Death Will Come For Us All...
Audiences who saw Final Destination were in for a great surprise when a movie that followed the release of Scream 3, the supposed "nail in the coffin" for the horror genre, came out of nowhere and put the terror back into the box office. Three years later, the highly anticipated sequel Final Destination 2 is here. The story is pretty similiar to that of the first and is set exactly one year after the "Flight 180" tragedy. This time around our main character Kimberly (A.J. Cook) is going on a road trip with her friends. While on the interstate she has a premonition about a major accident that would kill everyone on the road. Snapping back to reality she ignores her friends pleas to continue driving and places her car in an area that will keep the wreck from happening. As she gets out of her car to explain to Officer Thomas Burke (Michael Landes) what she's doing, everyone is horrified to watch as a semi truck smashes through her vehicle and causes a major wreck that they would all have been involved in. The accident scene is worth the price of admission alone. It's horrifyingly realistic and brutally gruesome showing what can happen when people drink, goof off while driving, don't pay attention, etc. The rest of the film plays out as expected which is the reason why I gave this movie only 4 stars. In the original movie, no one knew what to expect or that death was gonna come back at them in terrifyingly clever ways, but with the sequel you do expect it. However, the makers of the film have many surprises in store and you have to see it to believe it. None of the death scenes in this movie are as surprising as Terry's (Amanda Detmer) hit by the bus scene in the original, but instead of pulling away the camera like they did, this movie delivers it's shock value with it's amount of gore. FD2 revels in it's own disgust and bloodshed using every chance it can get to let "death" slice, dice, cook, drop, smash, burn, stab, slam, impale and totally annihilate it's survivors. All in all this is an excellant movie that I will see again asap. It's definitely a great sequel and I think all of the fans who liked the first will love this. It's loud, violent, twisted and the biggest rush I've had at the movies since the original. A promising sign of how good it is, is when the movie was over, you could hear everyone gasping and laughing nervously.
Rating: - Good For A Sequel But No Way Original
Final Destination was an unexpected hit at the movies. It's clever use of how death can't be cheated and how death will come after you was very impressive and it also starred a popular teen cast! Of course a sequel followed and this is the storyline. A young girl called Kimberley is taking a vacation to Daytona Beach with her three friends. But just before turning onto the highway she predicts that a HUGE pile-up will happen due to an unsafe timber truck. In the prediction her, her friends and many other drivers die in the crash but then suddenly Kim finds herself back at the turn point to the highway. After making sure none of the other drivers go onto the road a policeman tries to reason with her when suddenly the crash she'd predicted suddenly happens before their eyes with a different set of cars. Sadly a speeding truck ploughs into Kim's car killing all of her friends and it makes her realize that what happened to the survivors of Flight 180 is now happening to her and the drivers who were suppose to get on the road. The film is definitely worth a watch even if you haven't seen the first film because it's funny, gory and something that gets your blood pumping. The films stars AJ Cook, Michael Landes, TJ Carson and Ali Larter (Who starred in the first film). Sadly Devon Sawa and Kerr Smith do not reprise their roles in this sequel because apparently they died in between the space of the end of the first film and the beginning of the second. The reason I gave this 4 stars is because it's basically just a re-make of the first with a different group of characters and a fresher storyline. Also the acting is a little cheesy sometimes.
