Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

sol- Another premonition about a freak accident leads to a different group of 'death cheating' survivors fearing for their lives in this surprisingly decent sequel. While the crash/collision scenes are magnificently intense and very realistic, 'Final Destination 2' does not get off to the strongest start and the first half of the movie feels like more of a remake or rehash of the original, except with even more inventive and elaborate deaths. As the film progresses though, there are some chilling "outward ripple" connections made to the characters from the first movie, which makes the overall project more interesting as an extrapolation on the events of Part One. And yet, even if one does walk away feeling that this is more of a rehash than a sequel, there are several improvements here. The death scenes, for instance, always leaving one guessing as to just what will deliver the fatal blow, the characters are more varied and have more personality than in the first film, plus there is quite a bit of comic relief that actually works. The sequel does not, however, have the visual panache that James Wong brought to the first film and nothing compares to Devon Sawa's hyper-awareness scenes in Part One. The basic idea is also not quite so fresh while delivering the same unanswered questions. As alluded to though, this is still a more worthwhile film overall than one might expect.

Dom Nickson Spoiler Alert!!! I really did enjoy the first Final Destination and it did something nobody has ever thought was possible. They have people dying in a series of what appears to be accidental or self inflicted deaths. I absolutely loved the first one so much that I caught this film on TV. Boy was it really lacking any logical need to know information. I didn't understand how Alex, the lead character of the first was the one to die when it really still was Clears turn by the end of the first one. I mean Alex was the only one who know what to do so how the heck did Clear not die??? Then She comes to try and help end the high bodycount. I'm serious at least 4 people we don't care about die in the first half of the movie. Most of the characters were lacking personalities and I truly don't like the main all that much. I give it a 2 out of 10 on account of the awesome death of Rory the Cokehead.

Taylor Kingston I really like this movie. It didn't get a great rating or great reviews, and I honestly don't know why. I think it's a great movie and a great sequel to Final Destination. It sort of continues from the first one, using the first movies experiences and characters.In this movie, we have another disaster. This time, instead of a plane crash, it's a freeway pile- up. Kimberly and her friends are all going away for the weekend. They're driving down the highway and see all of these ironic things. Like a man driving a "drink responsibly" truck, whilst drinking alcohol. That's smart. We see all of these seemingly insignificant characters, and then they all die horribly and vividly in a highway crash. Then Kimberly wakes up from what just happened. She's confused, understandably, and notices everything that happened in her vision is coming true. Like the songs on the radio and other drivers. Then, before she pulls onto the highway, she stops. And doesn't get on. The people behind her, who were destined to die, also couldn't get on, with her blocking them. The the pile-up happens. And sadly, Kimberly's friends die. She tries to explain to survivors that she had a vision and of course, no one believes her. Then she goes to see Clear Rivers from Final Destination. She had checked herself into an insane asylum, for her own protection. We hear how Alex had died recently, and that's why she's in there. So she won't get hurt. She explains to Kimberly that her friends died the exact same order, as they would've on the flight. They realize that Kimberly's friends died last in her vision, but first in real life. Death is working backwards. She gathers the other survivors and she explains. Everyone is trying to keep safe, but sadly, Death doesn't give up that easily.Overall, I give this movie a 10 out of 10.

Jarek Gunther After the financial success hit of the first Final Destination, a sequel had to be thought up. And seeing how the first movie creates potential for a sequel, it seems fitting that another one had to be made and we get Final Destination 2. Yep. Death is at it again. But the question is did they clean up their mistakes from the first film? Did they decide to make the deaths more serious? Are more things explained in this movie as a sequel should do? The answer to the last question. YES. More things are actually explained! That's right. I really liked this movie. I mean, okay yeah, it's not a masterpiece. Miles from it, in fact. But I think it's a very loyal sequel with more things to offer.Here's the story. Kimberly, played by AJ Cook, is taking a road trip with her friends on the interstate. But an eighteen wheeler carrying a bunch of logs passes by. The logs fall off and crash into countless cars, causing a massive pileup, killing many innocents. But this turns out to be a vision of Kimberly's and she blocks the ramp to the interstate to stop several motorists from entering the interstate. The pileup ensues and Kimberly, along with those who were meant to die in the pileup survives. Kimberly believes that all of this is the same thing as the events of the first film in which Death is now after the lucky ones. Desperate to find answers, Kimberly goes to the only survivor of the first film, Clear Rivers, played by Ali Larter. Yeah, Alex died in between films due to… offscreen syndrome. Clear Rivers decides to help Kimberly and the others to find a way to stop Death and find more information about why this is all happening.As you can see, this movie has a very strong connection to the first film—as a sequel should. And more things are explained, like how Death is doing all this. I like how Kimberly goes to Clear Rivers for answers. I like how they demand answers from the mortician, who was very knowledgeable from the first film about how to defeat Death. I like how the survivors become more and more concerned as the deaths excess. Yeah, I think the characters are better in this movie. I mean, yeah, they're stupid in their own way, but I like how involved they get near the end, even the cop. Yeah! A cop actually gets involved in the horror movie and you know what? He believes Kimberly and immediately tries to find answers after the pileup and ends up helping the survivors early on. There's even a deleted scene where the mortician explains how Death works to bring balance in the universe. I just found that really fascinating.Okay, so what's the not so good stuff? Well...like the first film, the deaths are still stupid. In fact, in retrospect, they're goofier in this one. Yeah, they're Loony Tunes territory and more far-fetched. Also, another big change in this film in contrast to the first one is that this movie seems to be leaning towards a little bit of comedy. I guess you can say that since the deaths were ludicrous in the first film, they decided "why not? Make it somewhat comedic. Taking it too seriously would make it even goofier." And the direction they take with the movie just makes it…well, fun. But they don't make it where it's completely a comedy; there's still some suspense in the mix when they try to find more information. Yeah, it's not scary. Just fun.I guess I'm a big sucker for this movie, but seeing how they treat this movie, they really did try to make it a true sequel. Is it stupid at times? Oh yeah. Are the deaths any better? No. But as far as story and characters go, I think it's an advance from the first movie. I know this had a mixed reaction from people, so you can say I'm a fan of this movie. I liked it, despite its mistakes. Next time it's on TV, give it a shot and see for yourself. Just…not while driving.
