Overrated and overhyped

Fresh and Exciting

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

6.5 out of 10 and here's why : The concept is good, an idea like this deserves quite a depiction, but there it is, Final Destination is a movie where people are facing a timed bomb-y Death, and they know it. It is a struggle against death. The only thing I hated is how deaths aren't completely incidental and they depicted it as some sort of 'transparent-yet-dark soul' which causes circumstances to change and voilà, death ! If only it were fully incidental then the scope of reality would've been preserved, without having to lean on supernatural stuff. Acting was good, though, so is the plot.

This is a great idea but the part I don't like is at the morgue when examining Todd's body. The coroner explains that lacerations on his hands are from yanking at the wire that strangled him. Alex brings up a great point that he if he was yanking at the wire, he wasn't trying to kill himself--it was an accident. All that develops into is the coroner coming back with a weird remark that in death, there ARE no accidents or coincidences. Realistically, someone wouldn't have that reaction to a great point and I thought, "Ok, could we quit being weird and acknowledge the point he just made? He was tugging at the wire, which means he didn't exactly set this situation up for himself. So how did this happen? It's bizarre. How can his death be explained?" This happened fairly early in the movie, which would've changed the storyline from there on had the coroner appropriately made a big thing of Alex's point.

I watch this kid as a kid like I use to watch this a lot like twice a day I don't know. I love this movie like it's good pace right and I have good death scenes. This is a true classic beside Friday The 13th, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Scream, and Halloween. I have a good time with this movie I really do.

Ordinarily, a cheap and trashy film with a silly plot and weak script would be enough keep most people, myself included, away. 'Final Destination', however, more than makes up for these flaws in sheer entertainment value. The first time I saw this film many years ago, I enjoyed it enough to buy the DVD, and it has remained something of a guilty pleasure all this time.Some films try way too hard to tick all the boxes and create the perfect picture, when sometimes all that's needed is an original, unique idea and enough imagination to put it into practice. That's exactly what 'Final Destination' is - someones imagination let loose, with the end result a highly flawed, but highly entertaining film.
