Final Destination 2 - Review

Final Destination 2.. what an odd movie.. in all honestly, I don't like it.




So here's what goes down, Kimberly is on her way to Florida with friends when she has a premonition of a pile-up killing a bunch of people and her friends. She escapes, and so do a few others, then death comes again to kill 'em all. Somewhere in this mess, Kimberly finds Clear, the lead female in the first, and gets help from her. All-in-all, this movie wasn't good.




The problem with this movie is the crappy writing and lack of good dialogue. Though, I like that fact that this movie is completely connected to the first, A+ for that.

The movie starts off great, from the credits, to the big pile-up, but afterwards it slowly turns into a poorly-written film with a bad-acting cast. The characters weren't like-able, at all. They were all the same, with one difference in each of them. They're all assholes except one is a cop, another a work-aholic, another a druggie, another a low-life, another a typical teenager, and so on. I just felt no sympathy for any of these characters.




Aside from the bad acting and awful writing, the special effects and kills were pretty good. The kills were very original, which is definitely an A+ in my book. The special effects were great, too. Especially in the opening accident. The car stunts were great.

Now, I really don't have a favorite scene, but, one scene I do like a lot is Nora's death. While in an elevator, Officer Burke, a cop, and escape-ee from the pile-up, calls Nora to warn her about a sign that might cause her death. She freaks out and tries running out of the elevator only to get her hair caught on some hook-like object another man in the elevator has. The elevator doors shut, and eventually she gets decapitated. Simple, yet, original.



My over-all opinion on this movie is that it's the worst in the franchise, and I'd only see it if you're a die-hard horror or Final Destination fan.
