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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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: it`s suspenseful, I couldn`t of picked better actors myself Cons: the ending could of been better
The Final Destination movies are always different, first one - car crash up, number two - airplane, and that's leaves 3 - roller coaster! But wait... Final Destination 3, is not the Final Destination what about Final Destination 4: The Final Destination! ...
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 ...
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 ...
Pros: Great acting, suspenseful, creepy, scary, chilling and best movie out of the three. Cons: None
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I think it was the best out of the three and I would love to see a fourth. I love a movie where I can connect with a character and I found this happened with Wendy, she is a very real person who happens to be gifted ...
Pros: New plot, good scenes. Cons: You know how it is going to play out, the escapees from death will die.
Like its predecessors, FINAL DESTINATION 3 delivers plenty of icky death scenes and sometimes startling violence. Still relying on the same 'death is going to get one no matter what you do to avoid it' formula used in the first 2 Final Destination ...
I am not very good at writing a movie review but Ill throw in my opinion very bluntly...
I loved the first movie.
The second movie was decent.
This one sucked.
Why did it suck?
Because it was the same crap as the first two.
What the he** is the since of making the SAME thing OVER AND OVER AND NOW OVER AGAIN.... with just a different crew?
You didnt even need to see the first two to understand this one. Because its the same thing.
The movie was a waste of my time, and my money. If you want to see the third before it comes out on DVD go watch the first and second.. because thats all the third is.
Dont bother. Its the exact same thing with different people. Not a THING different.
Pros: Kept me on the edge of my seat Cons: you know whats coming but that is due to the first two
I was surprised to enjoy this movie. I knew it would run along the same lines as the first two walking into the theater but I liked it a lot.
I found myself covering my ears and had to close my eyes through two scenes. It was intense and flowed nicely. The characters worked nicely together and nothing felt forced as you sometimes find.
I would see this one again in theaters.
Comedy & Horror Wrapped in One Gory Package by bonnie9703 ,Jul 27 '06
Pros: Gory, funny, creative. Cons: Not scary like the original, but does remind you that tanorexia kills.
If you are like me and enjoy "B" (for really baddddd) horror movies, Final Destination 3 if for you! I saw this movie at the theatre, and it was so much fun because whenever someone got killed, everyone busted out laughing because each new killing was gorier and more creative than the last...and because you knew that something really bad was going to happen to a character, then when it did, it was much more over the top than you had imagined it could be.
Because of it's comedic features, both in the writing and directing of the movie, it does not have the creepy and disturbing undertones of the original movie. If you are a bit of a cinematic snob, you will probably hate this movie. If you have an appreciation of the overtly absurd, you will surely enjoy it.
Hopefully the death of the series... by novaprime ,Jan 02 '08
Pros: Dead spoiled teenagers Cons: Everything else
This movie is a disgrace to the genre. The first two were tolerable, but this one was hard to watch. You think by the end of the second film Death would run out of elaborate ways to kill idiotic teens.
This should have been a straight to DVD release. If this series makes it to a fourth film that would be just plain absurd.
Pros: Great Movie, Suspensful Cons: Frustrating Ending
I think overall Final Destination was good movie. It was too much like the other 2 movies, and was too predictable. The ending made me very frustrated but I think it was smart of the creators because now i want to know what happens, so I will have to wait for the next one.
When are they going to call it quits? by jenny22 ,Mar 01 '06
Pros: You can play detective and figure out how fate is going to get them. Cons: It's the same thing as before....it's official...they've overkilled the story line!
The movie followed the same story line as the two before. The only thing it had going for it was the different and off the wall ways the cast got killed. It didn't make me jump once and I definitely wasn't at the edge of my seat. Here's my advice: If you like the previous two, then watch it, but wait until it comes out on video to do so...much cheaper!
When a high school student fails to stop the fated roller coaster ride that she predicted would cause the deaths of several of her friends, she teams ...More at HotMovieSale.com
