Review of The Final Destination (2009) by Michael V — 17 Nov 2011

There was no reason why this movie should have gone to the theater. Direct to DVD. This movie had nothing going for it besides the 3D effect, which was not used well. The acting was dreadful, even by horror movie standards (what happened to Bubba from Forrest Gump? seriously, he's a good actor) and the director did not take advantage of what he could have done with the 3D.

It was like he read a book on directing and just did all the basic shots you are taught, when he could have got really creative with it. And I really enjoyed the 1st two movies. Side track for a moment: seriously whats up the the fucking title.

It better be telling us it's the last one. But back to the first two. You cared about the characters. The deaths were realistic, scary, and often threw you for a loop by misleading you and making you guess how the actors would die.

The effects were good and there was a real creepy feel to the films. This one, however, has no business sharing the Final Destination title with the other films. You just don't care about who's who, what's what.

..then ending is 100 % predictable, the deaths too fast, and uncreative. And the effects horrible. The lead actor Bobby Campo was godawful. I would not want to be dating him in a situation like this. Honestly you need a man who cowboys up for this.

Not a man who drinks milkshake cappocinnios with sprinkles and doesn't go and see an action movie while his hot chick goes and sees it. (which was The Long Kiss Goodnight by the way) This movie brought absoloutely nothing new to the series.

It was the first movie all over again but made by people who didn't know what they were doing. AND NO TONY FUCKIN TODD!!!!
