Pros: interesting premise, new characters, never boring, intense Cons: very violent, extreme gore, thin in story
When it comes to movies that should have sequels, this series of films is a set that really didn't need them. Final Destination 3 is of course the third one in a series of films about kids trying to escape death. The premise of all three of them ...

Pros: Some original moments Cons: Too mechanical
Final Destination 3 proves that a decent horror movie idea can’t be stretched into a trilogy without sucky consequences. I thought the original movie offered a cool premise and the sequel had some of the most creative death scenes ever, but this ...

Pros: Really cool death scenes, decent cast, smart thriller, special effects. Cons: It aims toward the high school audience.
So here we are. At number 3 in this franchise about cheating death. Who knew the series would go this far? It all started in 2000 with a film called Final Destination. A movie about a group of young adults cheating death with Alex Browning's help. A ...

Pros: really great effects, some great moments Cons: very lame dialog, very trite, flat, love story was never explored.
You might think that a film called "Final Destination" would have no sequels. Going on that theory, you'd think it was a bit odd that the video game "Final Fantasy" has so many sequels. Why not just call the game "Fantasy" and this film, ...

Pros: Hmmm.. Cons: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..
There he is. The black cloak waves in the air, though there is no wind. It covers his entire body; better have it covered than seen in front of millions of viewers tonight. He slowly approached me and sat down as he put his scythe on the side of the ...

Pros: Very imaginative special effects. Cons: That's all that carries this movie.
FINAL DESTINATION 3 (which I will now abbreviate as FD3) is a continuation of what may be a hardy franchise in teen screamers. Within that genre (and I emphasize that qualifier) it a good flick. In case you dodged the two previous FD movies, I ...

by darthmary , Feb 13 '06
Pros: The first 20 minutes offers a suspenseful buildup and a pretty impressive roller coaster crash Cons: Blood and carnage trump suspense for the rest of the film.
I was so sure that Final Destination 2 was the last film in the series, until the final scene of that movie, when a day player was blown to bits by the barbecue and one of his bodyparts landed in someone's hamburger. I still have no idea why that ...

Pros: One of the most enjoyable movies I've seen in theatres for a long time. Cons: Corny and same premise as the first two.
Recently, Final Destination has become one of my favourite series of movies. I bought the first not long ago and have already watched it a couple of times. I also saw the second, and loved it. The first two Final Destination movies had managed to be some ...

by funslinger2003 , Feb 21 '06
Pros: Director Wong's fast-paced editing. Gore factor achieves epic levels. Instantly forgettable camp. Cons: With my expectation bar laying on the ground "FD-3" could not fail to achieve.
My local six-plex movie theater (Glen Cove Cinema, L.I., NY) runs $4.00 movie night on Tuesdays. That’s $4.00 for any movie at any time. Relative to the fact that on regular nights two tickets, a bucket of popcorn, or two, and a pair of Snapple’s runs in ...

Pros: Shocking deaths, hilarious moments Cons: Same old storyline, certain scenes are predictable
In the original Final Destinations, Alex Chance Browning (Devon Sawa) saved his mates from plane crash, only to have them killed one by one in freakish accidents. Then in Final Destination 2,Kimberly Corman (lovely A.J. Cook) saved strangers from their ...

by Monnie1976 - Top 500, Dec 21 '07
Pros: Creative, fun, decent acting and creates a sense of suspense Cons: Believability is at times sacrificed for flare. A bit gory.
Final Destination 3, released in 2006, is one of those movies you just might not expect to be good. After all, it has a cast of people you've probably never heard of and its a sequel once removed from the original. Yet, I started watching the movie on ...

Pros: Good CGI, Plenty of gore. Cons: No storyline, Bad acting, No sense of narrative progression.
For many years, the idea of teenagers getting picked off one by one by a maniac killer has been a popular convention in the horror genre. People sit down every day in order to watch popular films of this respect such as Halloween and Nightmare on Elm ...

Pros: Death scenes, fast pace, nicely cast, conclusion Cons: Unoriginality, highly stereotyped characters
First.. let's ask ourself a philosophical question: How many final destinations can one life have? My wife is a huge fan of these films, but I had only watched the first in the series, and that was when it first came out. I skipped the second one ...

Pros: gory,well written and acted out. Cons: None
My dad borrowed the movie final destination 3 from one of my cousins I figured why not watch this one since I have seen the other two that had came out already. A few of the scenes really scared me and usually nothing really bothers me because I love ...

Pros: New characters, constant links to prequels, tension throughout Cons: bare storyline, predictable at times, unnecessary gore
The first Final Destination movie(2000) brought something quite unique to the horror scene. The belief that you cannot cheat death. When your time is up you have to go. The basic story was of a teenager Alex Chance Browning(Devon Sawa) has a ...
