hyped garbage
Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Seeing the original movie that started this franchise, "Final Destination" left me wanting more, but it spawned so many sequels it lost its touch and just became feed to the box-office machine. The sequel to it came quickly after the success of the first one, but I, myself, have not seen it until now and that is a lot of years apart from when I first watched the original."Final Destination 2" continues the supernatural premonition nightmares through the eyes of A. J. Cook, who witnesses a massive accident on a highway, for which the consequences will lead to a series of unfortunate events.Unlike the first movie, the script for its sequel seemed flawed and did not give the same thrill and exhilaration, this time feeling more like an X-Files episode as its predecessor was meant to be in terms of quality and production values.All in all, for a horror sequel in the 00's, "Final Destination 2" is a decent popcorn film.
Final Destination 2 is a great sequel to the original. It continues with the first film's premise, while incorporating a couple of new elements and twists and turns without being boring or annoying.The inclusion of a character from the first film helps easily tie the films together, which the future sequels can have a bit of a problem with.One of the franchise's strong suits is its ability to have extremely entertaining deaths. This one takes those deaths to a new level and has some of the best in the series.I don't like this one as much as the first one, but it is a close second. Definitely give it a watch if you've seen the first one.
Final Destination 2 is a sequel to the 2000 hit that left many people skeptical of going on a plane ride, set with a new set of characters. This time around involves Kimberly Corman (played by A.J Cook), who sets on a vacation with her friends to Daytona Beach. Like Devon Sawa's character in the first film, Kimberly has a terrifying premonition of her friends and everyone around dying in a horrific disaster, only this disaster a massive car pile-up that leads to a number of deaths. Kimberly intervenes and saves the lives of many (not all) people on the highway. However, she soon learns that Death still has the lives of the individuals she saved on it's agenda. She teams up with Thomas Burke (played by Michael Burke) and Clears Rivers (played by Ali Larter), who revives from the first film, in attempt to save them.This film carries roughly the same story structure as the first film, with an opening disaster and the people getting killed in strange accidents. However, I didn't this one to be as realistic as the first one. Some of the deaths in this film were okay, others were a bit too laughable. The deaths that occur during the massive car crash scene at the beginning were quite good and surprisingly realistic. Secondly, the characters are a bit underdeveloped. Unlike the other films, each of the characters do not have any unique personalities. In the others films, you had the jock, the geek, the hot girl, and all the other character stereotypes. This film didn't have these and made the characters incomprehensible.The good part of this film is the plot. The film moves a decent pace and has its moments of suspense. The climax towards the end was my favorite part of the movie. What I also liked how it connected with the first film, especially having Clear from the previous film return as the character who is incarcerated in a mental institution to protect herself from Death. Overall, this movie isn't a total letdown. It just not as good as the first.
Taken on its Own Terms, these types of Movies have to be Compared to its Peers and not High Art. This is either a Guilty Pleasure or not.The Final Destination Sequel doesn't have the Luxury of being Groundbreaking or Clever. This is Number 2 and it is Spinning Off those accolades and delivering a Cash-In and seems like it was done Only for just That.It means that this is More of the Same. It might be that the Third Entry can go for Deeper Insights and Suspense, but it was not to be for the Follow-Up. The opening "Highway to Hell" pile up is one of the most Visceral and Smashing Car Crashes ever put on Film. It is Stunning.The rest of the reveals are no where Near as Engaging and are Nothing more than Semi-Clever ways to Countdown those that have Cheated Death.The Formula shows signs of boring Repetitiveness in the Dialog about Death and its Plan. It Has become more Airy-Fairy in its explanations that were there in the Original but then it was all New Stuff.Now its just seems Blah, Blah, Blah...Death's Design...Blah, Blah, Blah, Who's Next?, and so forth. The Gore is Great and the "Fun" is there if You Turn Off Your Analysis and sink Into Your bucket of Popcorn. But if the Third Final Destination doesn't Get Smarter it too will Sink under the Sameness. But even if it doesn't, well, at Least it will be another Guilty Pleasure for Fans of the Type, Like This One.
