When a horror flick gets tedious, it's DOA.

Part of the fun here is anticipating the Rube Goldberg-style machinations by which Death catches up with its targets.

That there is an audience for a movie in which innocent people suffer hideous accidental deaths is troubling enough, but that a group of creative people chose to direct their energies on this repulsive spectacle simply provokes disgust.

The filmmakers clearly set out to make a film that featured lots of footage of really disgusting annihilations, then threw together a haphazard script and hired a few hot actors to play the corpses.

Gruesome, ridiculous, really bad waste of time.

Now that the ground rules have been established for the Final Destination movies, the fun lies in seeing the inventive ways in which the writers dispatch the various characters in the sequel.

Even more than Part 1, the real stars of this movie are the elegantly choreographed freak accidents.

One by one these people get bumped off, one by one the people in the audience laugh their asses off.

Albert Einstein... noted, 'God does not play dice with the universe.' [T]he makers of... Final Destination... have... decided that Death likes to play Mouse Trap.

Perhaps you can't cheat death in Final Destination 2, but apparently you can kill originality.

'Make no mistake, without the slicing, dicing, filleting, and pureeing, this flick is a recipe for boredom. But like its predecessor, I was expecting a bloodless teen snorefest and got something several sanguineous degrees better!'

Even if the movie is not your cup of tea, the extras offer an attractive alternative.

Gets more convoluted and thus less involving as it goes along.

1. Mr. Bludworth: Hello, Clear. I've been expecting you.
– Submitted by Kerwin M (51 days ago)
1. Kimberly Corman: There's gonna be a huge accident. Everybody's gonna die!
– Submitted by Kerwin M (51 days ago)
1. Host: Tomorrow marks the one-year anniversary since Velez Air Flight 180 exploded and crashed shortly after takeoff from JFK airport. It's a disaster that's affected many. None more so than Mt. Abraham High School, which lost 40 students and 4 faculty members in the crash. But it was the events after the crash that has turned this tragic story into something even stranger. The survivors that managed to get off the plane before it crashed died soon thereafter in a series of mysterious and bizarre accidents. Now to some, these deaths are just tragic coincidences, but to others, they're an indication that there are more sinister events taking place. That's the contention of tonight's guest. Thank you for joining us this evening.
