Final Destination 2

Final Destination 2 is the best film in the whole franchise in my opinion,i was lucky enough to see this at the cinema back in 2003!!!

This gory as hell sequel is so much fun,it's smart & thrilling & exciting so much more than the first film. Yes i liked the first film it was great but part 2 is even better.

FD2 packs more ferocious,spooky atmosphere into an exciting rollercoaster ride that is pure Horror-thriller entertainment with dark humour & awesome creative kills.

Ali Larter gives a strong performance once again as survivor of death, Clear Rivers, from the first flick & the new bunch of death deserters are well casted characters that very cleverly are each connected by the impact of the deaths of all the characters from the first film. Final Destination 2 is a super smart sequel the truly ups the thrills & fear factor. This is one of those films i keep comic back to for shear fun entertainment even after all these years.

This film also has the best & most terrifying scene in the franchise,the pile-up car crash on the motorway.

That sequence is terrifying & probably the most iconic & memorable scene in the entire franchise.

Final Destination 2 is basically just good gory-fun,a good night's entertainment especially if your a Horror genre fan like myself!!!

Yes i have Nostalgia for it but i also saw the first film way back on video & then was excited for the sequel.

Just sit back with a nice hot cup of Coffee one evening & stick on Final Destination 2. It's a real Gem from an otherwise messy franchise, it's a great supernatural thriller flick & one of the best franchise sequels ever.

Tony Todd is a Horror genre gem.

Great popcorn movie fun.

I remember when I saw the first Final Destination movie at the cinema, and I really enjoyed it, it was something fresh new original and exciting, and when I heard that they were making a 2nd one, well at first I was a bit sceptical, but when I saw the trailers, I was excited.

Well the plot to this one, not all that different from the previous movie, only instead of an aeroplane, this time we get a traffic accident and the central character Kimberley (AJ Cook) has a vision much like Devon Sawa did in the first one. Only with a slight difference, this time the deaths work backwards.

Sequels are often associated with disappointment, as many often only manage to be pale imitations of their predecessors. The second Final Destination is anything but, as it's bigger, slicker, and altogether more fun than the original. Overall this one has a different tone to the first one, this one's more blood and a lot more gore, which is always a bonus in my eyes, another aspect is that the deaths are way over the top, which is awesome and something that was missing from the first movie.

The performances again doesn't fail to deliver, with yet again another group of interesting characters, AJ Cook is this time the main character and she hits all the right notes, she's resourceful and likable. Michael Landes plays it cool and low key but also comes across as likable and has great chemistry with AJ Cook. Ali Larter I enjoyed her in the first movie and I was glad they brought her back she gave a very credible performance and Jonathan Cherry plays the comic relief drug addict really well and came off as very natural.

All in all a brilliant follow up and companion to the first movie and them both even each other out really well.

Final Destination 2 is creepy, enjoyable and importantly, better than the original. This movie had the iconic wood log truck scene and the way deaths happened, you may get frightened and think what if this happens in reality.

The direction and acting was better than the original. Like original, you will be busy enjoying the thrill and drama and will give you mixed feeling of horror, drama and thrill.

Overall, will recommend everyone to give it a try.

I was apprehensive when I didn't Devon Sawa in the credits or this movie, but then again, this film didn't really need him. This wasn't a sequel in the purest sense, but the film makers created methods to link all of the new characters to the old ones, creating a flow which wasn't too jarring. Unfortunately, the dialogue was the only real stinker in this film. The pretentiousness, the obviousness and the downright hokiness that came out of the mouths of the characters really detracted from the tension, turning their performances into a bunch of acting class rejects. But I digress. The only thing people are looking for is how Death will get the new set of escape artists. The sheer surprise and execution of the executions made me jump and crawl. In such a desensitized world we live in, being able to jump out of my seat means this film is a winner.

This was almost like a flashback to a few weeks ago when the exact same thing happened for real on Interstate 4. It wasn't a log truck, but fog and a controlled burn that caused an 80-car pileup and much burning of trucks and bodies. I could not help but think of that when I saw the incredible accident scene in this film. It could have been used as news footage.

This is probably only the second film in which I have seen A.J. Cook (JJ from "Criminal Minds") and Ali Larter ("Heroes"), but they did a credible job in a film where the story was far more important than the individual characters, none of whom rose to any significance. In fact. most were probably former WB stars. The only one I remember with any interest was Odessa Munroe.

But the story and the special effects and the gore and, certainly, the suspense, made this film worth watching and peaked my interest in the prequel and the sequel, although not having seen the first one does not take anything away from this one.

Check it out.
