Final Destination 3 = The Worst Sequel Ever

[X-Ray]

I actually liked FD3. It was defitnitly better than the 2nd. IMHO.

And for the record ... the worst sequel ever is the Sandlot 2. It completely kills the good name of the original.

^Absolutely agreed. They totally ruined that movie.

One thing I noticed about the 3rd one and someone may be able to correct me here 'cos I'm not 100% sure of this but...

That Franky G dude, with the camera, in her vision of the accident his videocamera gets stuck to the track and when the kart runs over it the sparks from it cause the oil tank (whatever it is) underneat the kart to explode which is what causes the accident...

So if this guy doesn't get on in the real event, shouldn't the accident not have happened?

This movie has been on HBO a lot lately, I started watching after the catastrophe the other day and thought the movie was bad, horrible acting, deaths were way too overdone, (one of the best deaths in the original was the bus that came out of nowhere). Then I saw the catastrophe that showed the guy with the video camera getting off the ride, the thing that actually caused the catastrophe is gone, so the accident on the roller coaster shouldn't have even happened. That made the movie just that much worse in my eyes, glad I didn't pay to see it.

Final Destination 3 was horrid. The beauty of the first film was that the signs Alex experienced were a lot more vague. It wasn't so focused on, "This is how (insert character) is going to be horribly bludgeoned or decapitated". The whole film was just an excercise in how gruesome whe can make the deaths, to say nothing of the fact that every death is preceded with the main characters going out of their way to prove that death is coming for them, and the person that's gonna die of course doesn't believe them, then they die. And it seemed like everyone's deaths involved head trauma (Frankie Cheeks, token black guy, Instant Star Chick, etc.). Not to mention the lack of any real logic. The one dude goes on the internet and finds out EVERYTHING him and the girl need to know about cheating death, and death having a plan, as if it was a matter of public record. Remember, there's no mortician to lay out all this exposition this time.

As for the two surviving characters from the last movie, they died. The end of FD3, a newspaper blows by with their pictures on it, and the special features on the DVD show the actual headline about their deaths.

It didnt suck, it was just more of the same. I liked it.

Obviously never seen Poltergeist 3 or Troll 2.

The deaths SUCKED. No Cameos by Kimberly or Officer Burke from Final Destination 2 (while at the end they live we still don't know if they are even alive. You would think after Clear came back for Final Destination 2 they would be back for this) Most of the Cast Members were annoying as crap. I thought this was going to be at least decent because the guy who made the first one came back for this but it was crap, crap, crap

Those 2 from FD2 weren't available for shooting. The original plan was for Kim and Burke to be on the same train that Wendy, Julie and Kevin were on.

Spoiler

So to bring closure to those characters, Kimberly and Officer Burke both died. Offscreen. They were killed by a wood chipper.

No, I disagree totally. I enjoyed the very much and IMO it is FAR from the worst sequel ever. There are many much worse sequels,

To name a few...

Troll 2
Jursassic Park III
Batman & Robin
Deuce Bigalow: European Gigalo
Leprechaun: Back 2 Da' Hood
The Lost World: Jurassic Park
Jaws 3
Jaws: The Revenge
Childs Play 3

Leprechaun in Space was a worse sequel than this.

(Cough) Butterfly Effect 2.

Baby Geniuses 2...

Jason X...

I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer...
