    The first one got away with it because it was original. The 2nd one had the acclaim of being the first film I've ever walked out on (last bus was at 5 past 11....wasn't worth missing it for). I think it's the height of gratuity to be honest and although I won't go as far as to say that they offend me, I really think they exist just to show horrible ways to die. This next one looks like a steaming pile of crap and is an apparently unashamed copy of the previous two...you can see it now....girl on roller coaster...sees it crash...she wants off....bla bla bla...cue horrible deaths of those that stay on and subsequently those who get off. Am I alone in this opinion, are the final destination movies simply porn?

    The first one was ok, but I never bothered to see the second one. The third film could be interesting, as Glen Morgan and James Wong are back. That said, I won't be running out to see it just because of their involvement.

    There's rumours that the script for the first film was actually stolen from an indipendant Swedish (I think) movie called Death's Design, which was scrapped after Final Destination went into production. I would've liked to have seen that one, as the concept is a damn good, but I thought the big flashy production with the hip MTV generation cast really wasn't my thing.

    I liked both movies alot; and by that, I mean they provided great entertainment for the 90 odd minutes run time each...couldn't ask for much more from certain films, and Final Destination is definately one of those kinda of films that aims to please on a fairly simplified basis

    The second one is actually pretty good. Big dumb fun with some cool deaths.

    The first one was pretty good. I enjoyed it anyway because it was something different and the concept of the movie was very good. The second one was pretty dire as it just went over the same old ground so I seriously doubt the third one is going to be up to much.

    Knowing me though ill prob go check it out anyway

    The second one was in the top 5 worst films I've ever seen, I hadn't seen the first one and don't ever intend on it. Nor the third.
