As a horror flick, Final Destination 3 is literally laughable.

Fans of cheap thrills can enjoy FD3 for what it is: A ridiculous teen horror movie that piles on more than enough dry humor and freshly moistened gore to satisfy its lowbrow audience.

If you're a Final Destination fan, it's unlikely that #3 will disappoint. If you like horror/thrillers with plenty of cartoonish blood and gore, this will hit the spot.

Might this be the final Final Destination? Don't bet on it.

The plot has more holes in it than the victims, but the shocks make up for the flaws. Don't think, just watch, and expect a wild ride.

Third installment delivers more blood, less invention. Not for kids.

The film starts to pick up after it begins borrowing liberally from The Omen, even more liberally than the film's two predecessors which, as freak-accident horror films, are by definition Omen clones.

This one regresses the series to what Roger Ebert, back in the splatter-film '80s, dubbed the Dead Teenager genre.

As a forced, unnecessary addition to the series, it lacks a satisfying relationship to its predecessors while simply rehashing the original's plot ...

As usual, New Line has served up some fantastic supplemental features.

So lazily plotted and poorly written, one wonders why New Line didn't just release a half-hour version consisting of nothing but death scenes.

Whether you're a fan of this franchise or just someone looking for a good, yet somewhat dumb ride, Final Destination 3 is your hot ticket for a little bit of ghoulish fun.

Director James Wong enjoys organizing dangerous objects and circumstances into precariously menacing Rube Goldberg arrangements.

A great date movie for couples who like to share their revulsion at squelchy death scenes and hug each other in dread. Not recommended for the squeamish.

They should have stopped before this movie, things are too predictable now.

Unlike the original, and even the second film, there is nobody to care about here. Dumb bitches, a pervert, angry black guy, sinister goth, whiny sister, etc. It got to the point where these characters were so stereotypical, that I couldn't even enjoy their death scenes. Granted, I want to see awesome deaths, but that
