Comments– I will never forget when I went to go see Final Destination 2 in theatres and the opening crash scene blew me away; it was a very enjoyable film…back then at least. And then there is Final Destination 3. This film adds NOTHING at all new or exciting to the film series, and is almost a complete carbon copy of the first movie (not too unlike the second the film was, but the second did it better in my opinion). The deaths were pretty cool to watch and there was too very hot chicks topless for a few minutes. Other than that, this was very blah for us. Disappointing-Mediocre.
Man, being busy sucks! We have had Star Trek for over a week now and haven’t sat down to watch it. Bridgette has been pretty sick the past three days, so she’s been in bed so we had to watch a non-Blu-Ray film tonight which is why we haven’t gotten to Star Trek yet. We also received Midnight Meat Train on Blu-Ray the other day. I rented that one because I heard it is similar in “idea” to The Collector (which REALLY needs to come out on Blu-Ray/DVD sometime soon). Alright, hopefully you will get two more blog posts this weekend! Thanks for reading.
Branden has been a film fan since he was young, roaming the halls of Blockbuster Video, trying to find the grossest, scariest looking VHS covers to rent and watch alone in the basement. It wasn’t until recently, though, that Branden started seeking out the classics of cinema, and began to develop his true passion for the art form. Branden approaches each film with the unique perspective of having studied the art from the inside, having both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in acting. He has been a film critic since 2010, and has previously written for Inside Pulse Movies, We Love Cult, and Diehard Gamefan. His biggest achievement as a film critic, to date, has been founding Cinefessions and turning it from a personal blog to a true film website, housing hundreds of film and television reviews, and dozens of podcasts.
Final Destination 3 is a lot different than 1, it’s probably what I liked least about it. 1 was a stand alone movie with a self contained storyline, and 3 seems to just use the ‘let’s get lots of bloody deaths’ idea way too much with no actual story to make them flow.
Well I agree, FD1 was a stand alone story because I doubt they were planning on making it into a quadrilogy when they released it. But if you look at that way, then that makes me dislike the 3rd one even more because it isn’t even telling a story, it is just using the premise of the first movie and changing up the deaths, which is why I say the movie is a carbon copy of FD1 (without the story, perhaps).
[…] that really ruined the movie for me. The movie was completely uninspired, and even worse the Final Destination 3 which we reviewed a while ago. Though I don’t think it will, this really should mark the end […]
