Summary: Sickening
Review: I too have not seen the movie and really don't care too.
I'm with the lady who was saying you can have good scary movies
without all the gross things they are putting in movies these days.
The Ring for example,no real gross stuff....just a good scary movie.
I don't know about alot of people out there,but i don't really enjoy seeing people cut in half or on fire or their brains getting knocked out of their head.I really think some writers have sick minds these days.
Just give us a good scary movie-a good thriller-without making me want to throw up.I used to enjoy scary movies.....now i can't even watch one all the way through.I end up closing my eyes through half the show.

Summary: Disturbed...
Review: I first have to admit I have not seen this movie, but have read some reviews and have heard second-handedly how gruesome the violence in the film is and I have to say I am deeply disturbed. First of all, in this day and age when terror and war abound, why would a healthy person want to pay money to watch such gruesome and horrible deaths play out realisticly on screen for entertainment purposes? I also think about people who have been in or lost someone from a horrible car crash and go into this movie totally oblivious to what they will see. That can't be right! Mothers watching their children die grotesquely? Sounds awful and sad! The movie is obviously targeted at teenagers, most of whom are impressionable, why subject them to this kind of mess? I have talked to young people who have seen this and just thought the death and destruction were the coolest thing ever! Why do they think that? A movie can be scary without being hideously gory (The Ring, The Shining), a car accident can be shown onscreen without demeaning human life (Adaptation, Sweet Dreams). I'm not saying there is never a place for violence in films. But the sheer joy this movie and audiences delight in seeing human beings destroyed for fun just seems sick, depressing and downright unhealthy.

Summary: Not the average edge-of-your-seat-thriller
Review: Closer and closer still the puzzle pieces come together. If you like cringing at the excruciating pain on the big screen, or contemplating how the plot is developing, this one's for you. Woven around a twisted plot and wrapped together; but not with that cheesy gift wrap. It's got amazement turn after turn, you'd wished you left your mouth closed for most of the movie. Not the typical sugar coated junk, but everything else but that. Snuggle close with that special someone or share a couch with the good ole boys or girls, cause this one's gonna jolt your seat!!

Summary: A very good sequel
Review: For a sequel, this movie is actually very good. And it would stand quite well on its own too. Its just light-weight horror entertainment. Not thought-provoking or anything, just sit back relax and enjoy. Of course there are quite a few moments of extreme tension and horror. Like the car pile-up in the beginning. Aye! And oy! that elevator scene and dentist sene, ect., ect. :D I was very *glad* to see Ali Larter back, she was great in the first one and just as good in this one. And Tony Todd as well who was, unfortenately, only in the movie for but a few moments. :( (Of course in my opinion anything with him is worth seein just once.! :D hehe) A.J. Cook is very good as the girl with the premonition this time. And the rest of the cast is good too. And the gore is top-notch. If you're a horror fan you must see this. This one has more of a sense of humor then the first, it doesn't seem to take itself quite as seriously, which helps it along and ends it with a "bang".! :p So if you've seen the first see this.! And if you haven't see it.! Of course it would make more sense if you see the first one first as well. :D So *enjoy*!!! God Bless ~Amy

Summary: just as good as the first, very inventive kills
Review: A film by David R Ellis The movie opens by referencing the first film, Final Destination. We learn that this is the one year anniversary of the explosion of Flight 180 (the big event that triggered the events of Final Destination). A girl is sleeping in her room with the television on. The program is a news broadcast covering the anniversary. The guest on the show talks about how death has a design, a plan and if that plan is interrupted, people are more likely to die in strange ways just so that death's plan is not too messed up. This was also the plot of the first Final Destination movie and being a direct sequel, we know this will be a major part of Final Destination 2. After the scene setting the stage for the movie, we move into the actual plotline of the movie. Kimberly Corman (A.J. Cook) and 3 of her friends are taking a road trip. They are stopped on an on-ramp to get onto the freeway. We see Kimberly merge onto the road and keep driving, and there is a huge accident, visually impressive. Even this multiple vehicle (and I do mean multiple) accident comes up with some creative way to kill folks. Everyone dies. The scene shifts and Kimberly is still on the on-ramp. It was only a vision and it freaked her out. She stops her van sideways on the on-ramp and nobody gets on the highway. The officer trying to get Kimberly to calm down is a witness to a horrible accident that happens just as Kimberly said it would. She saved the life of everyone on the on-ramp, except for her three friends who are still in the van as it gets run down by a semi. Back at the police station, Kimberly is insisting that everyone who survived will die in a specific order and only the police officer on the scene believes her. It isn't until the first survivor dies that people start believing. To try to figure this out and find a way to beat it, Kimberly goes to get help from Clear Rivers (Ali Larter), the only survivor from Flight 180, and the only survivor from the aftermath. The rest of the movie follows Kimberly as she tries to save everyone from being randomly killed. She continues to have visions and picks up on signs of what may be coming. The real joy of this movie is in the creative and inventive death scenes. Sure, some are a little gruesome and I cringed a couple of times, but they were so well thought out that I couldn't wait to see how the next person would be killed. Final Destination 2 is not any different from the first movie, but because of the creativity of the deaths, I didn't mind at all. I like how the movie teased me with one kind of death but turned it into something completely different but equally impressive. Anytime I thought I figured out a death, the movie turned it to something else. It kept me on edge waiting for the next kill and the movie had a perfect flow to it. I'm not sure if the movie is better than the first, but it is just as good. If you've seen the first movie, you know exactly what you are getting into. If you haven't, this is a fun movie with a lot of creative kills. The movie exceeds the quality of its subject matter and is actually a pretty good movie.

Summary: The Final Destination Was Not Final Afterall!
Review: The surprising success of Final Destination, ensured that it was only a matter of time before a sequel hit the screens, and surely not to disappoint, there it is.
This success was interesting, because the film mixes your average blend of gore and thrills with the universal question of mortality: Can Death be inevitable? When the time comes, does it really mean just that and you can not escape it? (assuming the grumpy grim reaper has made too long a journey to go back empty handed!)
Well,I seem to be in a minorty here, but I really did not like this sequel much. Not because it is a bad movie, it surely has its moments, but because I found it very similar to the first! Final Destination 2 is a bland, bland movie. I believe the filmmakers concentrated more on how to make the next death scene more gruesome and gory than the previous one, in a style that will make Dario Argento proud, instead of working on developing and expanding the story more. Surely they might have thought if the formula of the first film brought in the dollars, why not use the same one for the sequel, but somehow I found the two films identical as a result.
Final Destination 2 is heavy without being intellectually challenging, and gruesome without being scary.
The acting is pretty average as well,the best performance given by Final Destination veteran Ali Larter.
On the other hand the Extras on the DVD are very good, exepct for the fact that there are '?' everywhere in the menu, which was very annoying! I mean did the studio assume that the viewer need all the help he/she can get in figuring out how to select the widescreen option??
So at the end..(I am afraid I can not avoid this 'end', no matter how I try to escape it)..Final Destination 2 is Final Destination with new faces and new deaths.Nothing less, nothing more..

Summary: VERY VERY DIFFERENT!
Review: Yes, I did watch the second movie...Hey! I had to find out what happened didn't I? On the anniversary of the crash of flight 180, Kimberly and her friends are on their way to a fun vacation.
While getting on the Interstate, Kimberly has a premonition of a
terrible accident involving numerous cars and death. Blocking traffic with her car she keeps several from being killed in the accident.
Again, death has been cheated and the hunt begins to kill off
the ones that should have died in that accident.
I have to say they did come up with some interesting ways
for death to get ya! Yes, it was creepy again but at least several of them beat death, that was a high point at the end.
Or was it? I wasn't sure if we would be seeing movie # 3 in the future. Time will tell, but I think I'll just skip the hunt next time.Death has way too many ugly faces in these movies for me. A good creepy, scary, unsettling movie for those who enjoy
that sort of thing.

Summary: Riveting from start to finish !!!!!
Review: Wow!!!! I can only describe this as a roller coaster seat gripping experience ! I watched this DVD with my home-cinema system cranked on high. I sat in shock during the premonition accident sequence in the beginning. It's not necessary to see the first movie to enjoy this one but it probably will give you a better idea of what you are in for, thereby making it more tense. If you want to test the accuracy of your subwoofer and meatiness of your amplifier then crank up the volume in the dentist room scene when the pigeons whack into the glass windows. This is a 'must see' movie for all thriller junkies. The DVD has some great extras as well.

Summary: FD2's freeway disaster scene outlives the rest of the movie
Review: I was a big fan of Final Destination but decided to wait for Final Destination 2 to come to video stores before seeing it fearing it would be a very bad sequel to a very good first movie. I rented it this past months and can say I was wrong on most accounts, FD2 delivers high thrills with more gore and a freeway car crash pile up that will leave you stunned and wondering how it was pulled off for film. On the other hand, I felt FD1 had a more solid ending to it, where as this one seemed tired and over pushed into the "yes there will be a part 3" category of endings. For all around performance Ali Larter still remains my favorite because she was carried over from the original as well as the "Candyman" actor who is back playing the sort of grim reaper death info guy. If you see this movie for one thing and one thing only, let it be the opening car crash disaster sequence, that stunt is worth the 4 buck rental fee.
