Final Destination 2 (2003)



Alrighty, you all already know that this film can't possibly be a Citizen Kane, but let me tell you it might be worth your 2 hours if you can catch it on tv for free. First off, the plot is kind of blah. It's story is basicly the same as the first movie with a few minor differences. The acting is ok, it does at least have Ali Larter of Heroes fame. The strengths of this movie lie in the death scenes and edited for television content (if you will remember a few sentences back, I did say to watch it on tv ). The deaths are often quite humorous, I mean if you will allow yourself to chuckle at the tragedy, this is made much easier to do because of the almost nonchalant way they treat each death. Go ahead laugh. And the edited for tv stuff is just as funny. I think I nearly choked on dinner when one of the characters remarked, "That's bull stuff man! I control my life, that's bull stuff!". So if you have nothing else to watch and this film is playing for the 512th time on the SciFi channel, give it a watch. I promise you won't "like" it, but you may get as many laughs as most comedies from the last few years.
