Final Destination 2 begins with a well-orchestrated multicar pileup on a freeway--a horrifying accident that turns out to be a premonition, as seen by a young woman (A.J. Cook) who saves herself and several other people by blocking a freeway on-ramp. Thus, as in the first Final Destination, a prescient vision disrupts the destined plans of death, and death goes to extreme lengths to correct matters. What makes Final Destination 2 entertaining is that the characters can only survive by learning to recognize the signs of impending doom--and the signs are basically the cinematic foreshadowing that moviemakers use to invoke suspense. This, combined with some elaborately complicated and gruesome deaths, fosters a ghoulish humor that's more entertaining than the smirky self-referentiality of Scream. Final Destination 2 doesn't aspire to be a great movie, but trash has its pleasures. Also featuring Ali Larter as the only survivor of the first movie. --Bret Fetzer

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Killed my brain cells!
Final Destination 2 starring A.J. Cook and Ali Larter is so awful you have to see it to believe it. The beginning is the most interesting part but after that the death scenes are lame and completely vile. I just hated this sequel, the original is so much better, check that one out instead. And the acting is the worst I have ever seen as well.
Rating: - Stay off the road!!!
I loved the first movie, so it isn't a big surprise that I like this one too. The story really had less of a plot, and less likable characters, but the death and gore scenes were amazing and original! When you watch a movie like this, don't forget what genre it is in. If you can suspend your beliefs for 90 minutes, you should buckle up for a good ride.
Rating:  - A nice experience if you don't expect too much different from the first.
The first was somewhat original and some of the characters were better. It was fresh then, and then comes along part two.
The initial crashes on the highway is intense and there is gore, gore, gore galore throughout.
The coincidental deaths at time are too unbelievable to fathom, and may leave you wanting more realism.
But if you haven't seen it in a while (6 months or so) then I'd give it a spin again. The first felt fresh after years of me not viewing it. ... Read More

another great and realistic FD movie wow this was great i like movies that are more relistic then any other movie this was shocking and thrilling and thats what i loved about FD. I saw all the FD movies and all three of them were great a very breat takeing suspence great movie.
Rating: - Good non horror sequel
Final Destination 2 proved something that most horror film sequels can't. If a scary movie sequel is full of laughs it can be fun. The film is full of good acting in particular A.J. Cook who carrys her first starring role very well. Tony Todd makes another chilling cameo and Ali Larter also does another good job. I hope this isn't the last Destination for the series. I give it *** stars based soley on the death sequences. The film is lot of fun and I can't wait to see Final Destination 4 in 3-D next ... Read More
