Final Destination 3 Reviews

‘Final Destination 3’ is a fan favourite for a reason: the death scenes are the most visually horrific ones so far in the franchise, and the cast are fantastic.

Full Review | Nov 17, 2024

Wong and co- writer Glen Morgan have again carefully and craftily plotted their set pieces, encouraging the audience to search for clues in, and out, of the frame.

Even Hostel showed more respect for the dead

Full Review | Aug 30, 2009

A boring and repetitive sequel...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 20, 2008

The film starts to pick up after it begins borrowing liberally from The Omen, even more liberally than the film's two predecessors which, as freak-accident horror films, are by definition Omen clones.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 18, 2008

This one regresses the series to what Roger Ebert, back in the splatter-film '80s, dubbed the Dead Teenager genre.

Full Review | Original Score: D | Feb 3, 2008

As a forced, unnecessary addition to the series, it lacks a satisfying relationship to its predecessors while simply rehashing the original's plot ...

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 17, 2007

I'm not sure how much more overkill this franchise can take ....

Full Review | Jul 10, 2007

So lazily plotted and poorly written, one wonders why New Line didn't just release a half-hour version consisting of nothing but death scenes.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2006

Director James Wong enjoys organizing dangerous objects and circumstances into precariously menacing Rube Goldberg arrangements.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | May 12, 2006

A great date movie for couples who like to share their revulsion at squelchy death scenes and hug each other in dread. Not recommended for the squeamish.

Full Review | Apr 22, 2006

Vapid, pointless and wholly predictable.

Full Review | Original Score: C- | Mar 19, 2006

...the sick kind of comedy that involves laughing at stupid people being ripped in half, but we know there are plenty of you out there.

Full Review | Mar 16, 2006

In its own morbid little way, this is very much a stand-up-and-cheer -- or shriek, as the case may be -- kind of film.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 4, 2006

Who needs an intriguing story line when an everyday piece of equipment can be used to splatter someone's head like a festering zit?

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 25, 2006

This film is the least of the three: it lacks the novelty of the first film and the cleverly morbid humor of the second one.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 25, 2006

With its third outing, the Final Destination series surprisingly gets a second wind.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 22, 2006

YOu know, the "Final Destination" movies contain characters who are self-obsessed, cheap, profane and mean-spirited. Maybe that's why it's so much fun to watch them get taken out, one by one.
