Review: I am a huge fan of the first two Final Destination films, so I couldn’t wait to see this new one. I didn’t have very big expectations, just knowing the track record of sequels.

The film has the same story as the first two, so it’s nothing original. The main difference is that this one has nothing to do with the first two other than the same repeat storyline. The cool thing with the first two was the small connections in the two stories. The film is decent, but not the same caliber as the first two. The characters are uninteresting and you don’t really care that they are killed off. The death scenes are ok, but nowhere near as good as the first two films. The movie isn’t bad, but doesn’t live up to the standards the first two set. Basically it’s just another typical horror film sequel.
