I'm all for horror movies and I quite like the ideas behind Final Destination, though after the first 2, I'm done. The third movie was a rehash of the first movie but with photos instead of dreams and the fourth was just more death and more premonitiions. For the fifth movie I predict premonitions and death! Along with reference to the previous four and something to do with the number 180.

I liked the first movie because it presented a neat concept but it was rather obvious that there were supernatural forces going on trying to kill them.

Final Destination 2 if my favourite because I like how they continued it and I felt they were more subtle about the death scenes in that it was harder to tell if there really was supernatural intervention or not. They really could have been freak accidents.

Final Destination 3 I nearly walked out of the theater. I stuck it out because I had nothing better to do. Take the intro from movie two, replace highway with roller coaster, and go! It also annoyed me that the death scenes were much longer than they needed to be. I mean really? do we need to watch someone roast to death for three minutes? I get it! They are dying! Can we move on now? They could have brought in another four characters and killed them with the time they took to kill the one's the had.

Final Destination 4 I actually can't remember much except for the usual premonitions and death and references to the first movie. And something about a theater. I did like the opening credits though, since they referenced deaths from the earlier three movies in a neat way.

I've seen one trailor for movie 5 and I have no interest in seeing it. The only actual twist they brought in since the first two movies was in movie three and they killed it off before it became anything, and from the looks of things the deaths have gotten more distubring and it wouldn't surprise me if they become more visual and horrific too. Like I said before, I'm all for horror movies but movies that exist simply to make the person squeamish with uncomfortable death scenes rather than attempt a decent story to go with them just aren't worth my time or money. I classify those as grossout films.
