Gee, another movie where everyone dies in absurd freak accidents that defy the laws of physics. Sounds positively intriguing.

One would assume that the title The Final Destination would mean it's the last one. Of course they had to kick us when we thought we were free.

Man, did anyone even see the last one? I dunno how sequels keep making money.

....I hope this is all just a big joke.

I assume the market for snuff films has yet to dry up.

INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

How would you even say that title? It doesn't fit in the same way that 2 Fast 2 Furious did, so... is it pronounced Five-Nal Destination? Try saying it, it's awkward.

The five looks too much like an "A"...

I'm getting Th13teen Ghosts flashbacks.

Didn't those damn teenagers make it to their destination yet?

Wins the coveted award for Worst Movie Title of All Time.

^^^ And I thought it was just me. Hilariously awful title.

This sounds more like the porn parody title.

^^^ Worse than Shark In Venice?! Yes.

I saw a synopsis of Final Destination 3 by Film Brain and all the deaths are fucking ludicrous.

Fuck the franchise, fuck anyone who thinks it's horrifying (it's fucking stupid and sometimes downright silly) and fuck Hollywood for making sequels to it.

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could drink you under the table~

Well, someone else beat me to making the one joke I could come up with. I got nothing now.

Good god. Just the title sounds horrible. It makes the writers look very unintelligent. Couldn't they have just put Final Destination 5 or The Final Destination 5?

I've seen The Final Destination and it was bad, yet I continued to watch it over and over again. And no matter how bad this one might be, I'm just gonna watch it for the gore.

"I want my powers wrapped in chicken and I won't have it any other way, damn it!"

Evidently the last one made $20 million dollars.

I mean JESUS. Talk about lowest common denominator entertainment. I had no idea it even made money...

I hate Brendan Steere

The earlier posters got it right, it's all about the gory deaths. Continuity is almost negligible, especially since the last one established that the characters cannot avoid their destiny, no matter what they do since it's all been predetermined.

Which retroactively makes the second movie make no sense. If it's all hopeless and they're gonna be hit with a deathtrap anyway, then what was the point of the whole drowning thing? Why did the mortician say anything at all?

^ I maintain that this is actually the smartest moment of the entire franchise.

For those of you who haven't seen the movie or don't remember it, the important thing the mortician says is that the only thing that can let one escape death is "new life." Thus, after the main character drowns, she, effectively, died only to be revived by the doctors (and, therefore, given "new life"). This troper believes that even after the film's grizzly conclusion that the main character was effectively removed from the loop because, technically, she already died.

Not sure if any of the later installments addressed any of this again, nor do I care enough to sit down and watch them and find out for myself, but as far as judging Final Destination 2 as a stand-alone film goes, I applaud this.

Well, unless I'm mistaken, there was an extra on the DVD of Final Destination 3 that said that she and the police officer were killed in a woodchipper accident.

The cop, I can buy understand.

The girl? ...Eh, too soon. I would argue that someone who cheated death in a way that actually involved dying would've earned the right to die again at old age.

If it's only a DVD extra though, I'll give the account half-credit, thus only half-ruining the lone bit of genius in the second installment for me.

The Final Destination was Dis Continuity for me. Besides, onlt the characters thought that they were doomed, and they didn't even do anything that could beat death (Cut the chain, bring new life...)

I hope this one will cut down the numbers and make it more along the lines of creepy tension.

PS, A Final Destination Video Game would be awesome as hell.

I agree that I take pity on anybody who thinks this franchise is horrifying. It's VERY good as gory slapstick, and I'm pretty sure this was intentional starting with the second movie.
