Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A fine horror flick.
Review: Being a fan of the first Final Destination, I was anxious to see this film. In many ways, I think the sequel outdoes the original in almost every aspect. The entire idea of mortals attempting to beat deaths design is very intriguing, and the director utilized this concept to its fullest. The opening crash scene is fantastic. With multiple camera angles, wonderfully paced dolly shots and flashy pyrotechnics, the pace for the rest of the movie is adequately set. From here the cast is put through some honestly horrific sequences, coupled with some surprisingly gruesome and creative deaths. The PVC pipe dispatch and the barbed-wire scene makes this film well worth watching. Recommended.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Rube Goldberg on crack or crank
Review: Thinking that this was something different from your usual horror flick, I decided to give it a try. I think the title of my review sums up what this movie is all about very well. Rube Goldberg was a cartoonist who conjured up complex ways to do very mudane things. The process of accomplishing the various mundane things (from scraching your back to opening a can of beans) was then drawn up as a cartoon which wasn't meant to be taken seriously, only for laughs.

Each scene in this movie where someone is killed represents the end of a chain reaction of seemingly random events. In order to stop the chain reaction or keep someone from getting killed, one must break the link in the chain. One must know the chain of events before hand in order to do this however. This is where the one psychic girl comes into the story. After noticing a chain or random freak accidents, a group of people decide to band together and try to stop the strange deaths from happening under the guidance of the one psychic girl.

Summary: BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!!!
Review: AFTER THE FIRST PIECE OF [fluff] IN THIS SERIES, IT WAS A RELIEF TO SEE THAT THIS WAS A GREAT MOVIE.
HOWEVER, WITH THE ALWAYS LOVELY A.J. COOK AS ONE OF THE LEADS, HOW COULD YOU GO WRONG?
SO, IF YOU LIKE BLOODY THRILLERS/HORROR MOVIES, THEN THIS MAY BE THE MOVIE FOR YOU!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Funnier Then The First.
Review: I didn't think this was gonna be a good movie and quite frankly it wasn't a good movie. I liked the first better because the first was creepier and it got to you. this one was funny almost hilarous. The highway pileup scene was pretty cool watch it in slow motion its cooler that way, there is more gore in this one then the first, acually it suprised me a bit, the gore scenes are short but real sweet, the acting isn't there, Tony Todd made me laugh at his sick charater, the movie isn't long and the climax is extremely rushed, the ending was so damn funny as were most of the death scenes, the plot is the same as the first escape death before death gets you and that is a pretty smart plot. The best character was the junkie guy who gets sliced up by the barb wire fence (kinda like cube)lol. I like gory movies and this one suprised me a bit because you saw what happened to the victim, but again they show it but its almost half a second you get to see it. Give this a rent youll enjoy it.

Summary: SO BAD, Please let it be the FINAL Destination...
Review: The first Final Destination was fresh and inventive. The death scenes and scenarios were captivating. That has all gone stale in it's sequel. Yes, many people continue to die in Final Destination 2 but this time you're actually rooting for them to die. The acting in this film is so atrocious it's not even funny. I don't even know who the hell these people were, but man they cannot act, especially the female lead. This time a group of people cheat death after escaping a deadly traffic accident. Some of the deaths are pretty gory which is cool but the acting is so bad it ruins the film. The ending is utterly ridiculous and all but assures yet another sequel. The only thing I can guarantee about the sequel is that I won't be there! Avoid!

Summary: GET THE FULL SCREEN DVD INSTEAD OF THE VIDEO
Review: If you watch this on a VHS tape then you'll miss all the really ... funny parts. Its best to watch certain parts in slow motion.

As for the movie itself....its just a bunch of people getting killed. Its entertaining to watch once or twice, but the first movie is much more interesting.

Summary: Better than the First
Review: Anyone who knows me knows how much I loathed the first movie. It was truly wretched. Though this one was surprisingly good. It had better (or just less annoying) characters that you don¡¯t want to die (the first movie made the mistake of being populated with awful characters), more inventive death attacks and developed the idea of death having a design more interestingly.

Clear Rivers (Ali Larter) is the only remaining survivor of flight 180 and has now willingly committed herself to a rubber room to escape death¡¯s shadow. But lets herself out into the world when learning of a new disaster. A teenager (AJ Cook) on a trip with her pals has a premonition of an incredibly violent freeway pile-up (so more inventive than a distant boom in the sky; the first movie¡¯s disaster) and stalls traffic in her lane. Sure enough the pile up happens and all the drivers who she stalled should be dead too. So death begins to stalk them. But no one has any time for the warnings Clear Rivers has to offer and so death offs them in increasing gory fashion.

It¡¯s cheesy and pure popcorn fun but you¡¯ll definitely enjoy it. If only the first one didn¡¯t exist then this would be more unique experience. Still, buying this DVD would be cool because the 1.85:1 anamorphic picture and the DTS 6.1 sound are incredible. Extras consist of Audio commentary, three documentaries, Deleted/alternate scenes, Infinifilm behind-the-scenes footage, and DVD Rom stuff.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A purposely trashy thriller
Review: While Final Destination 2 follows the plot of it's predecessor, the similarities between the films stops there. The teen-melodrama and too good looking for their own good young stars are replaced (for the most part) with well orchestrated accident scenes and some very nice gore effects. It all starts when Kimberly (A.J. Cook) has a premonition of a huge multi-car pile up and inadvertantly saves herself and a few others. And then one by one, death comes calling with some over the top computer assisted and well orchestrated grisly deaths. Ali Larter reprises her role from the first film as Clear Rivers, and Tony Todd returns in his cameo role as well. Director David Ellis has crafted a purposely cheesy, trashy, and fun horror film that both outshines and pales in comparison to the original; and while it is very graphic and grisly for a mainstream horror film, it is never too mean spirited. The Infinifilm DVD is another fine piece of product from New Line (although I personally like the Platinum Series of DVD's more), and the Bits & Pieces featurette provides enough ample entertainment for horror afficiandos.
