Final Destination 2 Reviews

A surprisingly potent follow-up to the sleeper original hit, this film takes the basic elements from its predecessor, multiplies it with some of the most gruesome kills ever put to screen, a couple of small twists, more premonition gobbledygook, a handful of memorable sequences and wraps it all up with a tiny wink of the eye. [read review] 7/10 --'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com) ...takes a good idea from the first film and pounds it into the ground, not to mention decapitating, electrocuting, skewering, blowing up, incinerating, drowning and gassing it. Perhaps movies are like history, and repeat themselves, first as tragedy, then as farce. [read review]  --Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times) While this follow-up isn't bad, it's nowhere near the original in story and entertainment. While the gore effects are pretty rockin' the plot is ridiculous with poor logic and a predictable set-up for yet another sequel. ... Competently made and bearablebut too sloppily written and feeling too much of a rehash to be anything but disappointing. [read review]  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com) For a horror movie which isn't meant to be much more then a quick and fun roller coaster ride, Final Destination takes you back to what these types of horror movies should really be. If you're a horror fan that is sick of the glitzed out Hollywood... [read review]  --Brian Balchack (MovieWeb) Still, there's no denying that Final Destination 2 is one of the most purely enjoyable films out there right now. It's not trying to do anything except entertain, which is reason enough to check it out. [read review]  --David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews) Throwing political correctness to the dogs, the sequel serves up one of the goriest mainstream Hollywood films in years, complete with bad dialogue, a ridiculous plot and terrible acting. [read review] -- (eSplatter.com) While Final Destination 2 lacks some of the really terrifying deaths from the original, the flick does rebound a little bit with some pretty impressive-in-a-shock-standpoint moments. [read review] C+ --Lee Tistaert (Lee's Movie Info) Satisfying sequel, even if it lacks the originality of its predecessor – a good-looking cast, a tongue in cheek script and some inventive death sequences make this worth watching. [read review]  --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon) Final Destination 2 is a great example of how the director takes anvantage of the audience. Knowing that we are expecting something to happen, we are constantly toyed with. [read review]  --Mr Disgusting (Bloody-Disgusting.com) These are funhouse thrills from a director who bears watching. You'll gasp, you'll flinch, you'll cringe, but mostly you'll scream. In a humorous way, of course. [read review] --C.W. Nevius (San Francisco Chronicle) If nothing else, Final Destination 2 will be remembered for one of the most impressive and intense car crash pile-ups ever presented on film. [read review] 7/10 --Nate Anderson (Movie-Vault.com) Surprisingly good sequel with many twists and plot turns. It's been a long time since I saw a movie with this amount of gore in it aswell... [read review]  --AnthroFred (SlasherPool) If you're a fan of the original then you'll probably enjoy this sequel. I know I did. Check this out. [read review] 8/10 --FrighT MasteR (UHM) ...the characters are sketched well enough to hold the attention, without ever troubling the heart [read review]  --Nev Pierce (BBC Films) You can't outrun death, but you can still hide from this teeny-bop horror flick. [read review] --Andrew O'Hehir (Salon)
