Filmmakers need to understand that we don't need a high body count; we like suspense and story. Billy was really the last death in that movie (car shard through the head) and the rest was all suspense. That's what made it work! But Tod's/Terri's/Ms. Lewman/Billy's deaths were all creative and neat and suspenseful. Now I am gonna rewatch FD2 and 3 since I have nothing better to do.

Anyone who walks into a Final Destination movie and didt get exactly what they expected had no business walking into said movie to begin with. Much like the Saw series, first it was an innovative concept, but after that, it just becomes the make up and effects peoples opportunity to showcase new ways to kill people and use fake blood and organs. Just like every other horror franchise, theres just so many places they can go before it becomes the same old thing over and over.

After that, they just decied to see how many different ways they could kill people and as many as possible in ridiculous ways. they may as well be Mortal Kombat 3 fatalities, when they started getting ridiculous. AKA Liu Kang dropping an arcade machine on his oponents head, Jax turning into a giant and stepping on his opponent or Kano ripping his opponents whole skeleton out through their mouth.

This was the worst movie of the franchise, by far. The deaths were boring and uncreative, and almost every death was in the trailer. The only good parts were the opening credits with all the old deaths, and the opening premonition did make very good use of the 3D feature. But other than that... total shitfest.

Final Destination 2 DID try to put a new spin on the concept and add in a few new ideas, and it worked, in my opinion. FD3 was when the series started to get a little stale (though it's my favorite one, because of Alexz), but TFD was a complete rehash of every film that's come before it, and not even in a "paying homage" kind of way, but simply repeating it.

What did they do? Go down to the local mall to get some young people to act in this? WTF? This is Z-movie bad acting. I have never seen people in a horror movie being terrorized with such calm and equinimity. Nothing phases them from reciting their lines with zero belief or conviction. FD 1 to 3 all had decent actors who were convincing in what they were doing and the ridiculous situation they were in. 2. No suspense or mystery. Whoever wrote this script just strung a bunch of scenes together to connect the death scenes. FD 1 and 2 at least had the protagonists trying to figure out what death's plan was. In this one, they did an internet search and they immeditely came to the conclusion death was going after them. It was really nice of death to also give directions to the main guy as to exactly how each person dies. The fact they keep dying shows how inept he is when his visions are the most clear of the entire series. 3. Bad deaths. Just deaths you can see a mile away. And they really didn't need to show almost every fucking death in the trailers. All the fakeouts before the actual deaths were useless because the audience was already spoiled. And they all happen to people that aren't even given the bare minimum of what a character would usually get to at least show they were human beings. The only person who got any meat in terms of character was Mykelti Williamson's George. And we all know how unsatisfying his death was. It was in the fucking trailer! 4. And what the fuck was up with the second "big" vision? What was the point? The only good thing about this was the opening credits. It was just a reminder of the less sucky films in this series.

By the time the fourth one rolls around you know exactly how badly it will suck and it's your fault if you go to the theater and don't expect pure and utter camp. Also, I feel like I haven't seen you in ages! holla!

At least not the first two (FD2 is the best in the series, in my opinion). I've seen better straight to DVDs than this. By the time the fourth one rolls around you know exactly how badly it will suck and it's your fault if you go to the theater and don't expect pure and utter camp. Camp is supposed to be entertaining. Part 3 was campy. This one was just pure shit.

Just because you're not a fan, doesn't mean that other people aren't. I loved all 3 Final Destination movies and I was really excited for this one. But it sucked in comparison to all the others. Worst in the series x a million.
