This sequel is little more than an excuse to stage elaborate, gory scenes of characters getting killed off.

Part of the fun here is anticipating the Rube Goldberg-style machinations by which Death catches up with its targets. Jan 31, 2003

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. Jan 31, 2003 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

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. Jan 31, 2003 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Final Destination 2 is legitimately an excellent movie; it's a fun and suspenseful film that manages to improve on the original in every way while also standing entirely on its own. Jan 31, 2018 | Full Review…

Just the fact that it manages to keep the viewer involved despite the plot's general ridiculousness makes it the most effective Vancouver-shot horror flick in years. Feb 9, 2014 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Even more than Part 1, the real stars of this movie are the elegantly choreographed freak accidents. Jun 18, 2008 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

This sequel deserves credit for its spectacular first sequence, which is really tense and well made. What follows, though, is more tongue-in-cheek, making fun of Death's ingenious traps and with an intriguing idea about how the plot is influenced by the events of the first film.
Super Reviewer
4 stars, and that only for the blow-you-outta-yer-seat opening. The rest is the series typical Death as an implacable, invisible prankster force-of-nature ... and I can live with that. Don't get too attached to any characters.
three stars
Hey, I still enjoyed it. The premise was still fresh and creepy.
