Summary: Slightly Different From The Original, But Primarily The Same
Review: "Final Destination 2" picks up one year after the original flick ended. By now, all but one of the original survivors of Flight 180 have died in freak accidents. The only survivor, Ali Larter's character, is safely tucked away in a padded cell. The movie begins with, and I know this will shock you, a huge pile-up on the highway. Instead of a young boy having a premonition, it's a young girl this time. She attempts to stop the accident and, another shocker, she survives, as well as a small group of strangers who have nothing in common except for the fact that they were still breathing even though Death meant for them to be pushing up daisies.

What ensues is similar to the original. The young girl seeks out the help of Larter and manages to gather all of the survivors from her premonition in an attempt to thwart Death. One by one they are picked off in some rather original death scenes. There are excessive buckets of blood, impalings, decapitations, and even a wicked fence. The only twist in this flick is that the creepy undertaker from the original(the guy from "Candyman") leaks out that only new life can stop Death's cycle. Other than that, the victims attempt to determine who'll die next, look for warning signs, and try to stay safe.

If you enjoyed the first flick, you'll probably like this one. In fact, I enjoyed this one more than the original because of the fancy and fiendishly funny ways that Death whoops up on his victims. From pigeons to PVC, Death uses everything at his disposal to take out his prey.

Like I said, you'll like this if you liked the first one, just don't expect to be taken away by the acting, effects, etc.

Recommended to those who love gorefests and somewhat funny "horror" flicks(though there isn't anything too "horror" about this one).

Summary: Not as Good as the First
Review: This is the sequel to the 2000 film Final Destination. Unlike the first movie, this one focuses more on creating very blood and disguting deaths than actaully making a good story and believable deaths. The acting in the film was just fine, but the characters do some ridiculous things that any normal person would not do that leads them to their deaths. It just does not seem right.

The deaths in this movie involve a ladder through the eye, a 500 pound window coming down, an elevator going up while the person's head is stuck inside and the body is outside, a pipe through the skull, wires from a flying fence, an explosion in a hospital, and an explosion at a barbecue. These deaths are more bloody than those in the original, but do not seem believable. They are ridiculous.

This movie offers a more disasterous opening. The first movie did a plane exploding shortly after take-off, but this one does a major pile-up. In which we see each individual character, and how they all wind up getting killed. Though it is more action-packed than the first, once again, it seemed ridiculous.

This is a very entertaining movie. It does have a lot of suspence, like the first one. It does have strange twists like the first one, but it didn't seem as good. It looked they just rushed through with the filming and did everything with the minimum quality.

Entertainment = 7/10

Favorite Scene = Scene in Evan's apartment where he wonders what's going on while death does all these wierd things to finally kill Evan. The scene involves getting his hand stuck in a garbage disposal while he tries to pull out an expensive ring while wearing a watch. The food he tries to cook catches on fire, and spreads on the floor when he tries to beat it out. As he makes an attempt to get outside, the windows shut. That's the best part.

Summary: dumb characters, unlikely scenarios
Review: Characters in this movies all are dumb4ss who have no common sense. So disasters happen to them. That basically sum up it.
