A good idea for a horror movie, it's a little raw. What a fantastic opportunity for Tony Todd to jump into a series though. Jumping from the Candyman series to this is equivalent to getting off that plane.

Final Destination is ultimately a very enjoyable film -- if you enjoy watching teenagers die in random, complex and fascinating ways. If you have, I don't know, a shred of empathy for human beings, this might not be for you. But I had a really fun time with it and would recommend it for fans of the teen slasher genre. Death makes a pretty good murderer, when you think about it.

Standard issue silly teen slasher done with style and finesse; not quite a broad send-up or deconstruction like SCREAM, but clearly inspired by and modelled on it. Doesn't hurt that its premise is an irresistible one and that the screenplay does a pretty noble effort of using, exploiting and even developing the premise in interesting ways. Always helps in best of these to have a likable cast as is the case here; this ultimately breaks no new ground, but it is a very entertaining genre entry.

Creative deaths in horror don't usually do anything for me, but they work here, maybe because there's no killer. It really takes it's time setting up the tension for every scene, which is risky, but every time the payoff is worth it. The fate angle I'm not a big fan of, but I like the way it mixes it with a dash of free will and a reliance on causality. It's not a deep film, but it provides some interesting things to think about with its premise, which is enough given how fun it is to watch.

Much like how the Purge franchise spawned off the back of a Star Trek premise, Final Destination ran a Twilight Zone idea into the ground for five movies. But these characters suck. Just bland teens getting hit by trains and buses. Is it tapping into America's fear of public transportation?

I guess death loves Rube Goldberg machines. Even with more exposition than you can shake a stick at, the rules of the premise still fall apart if you think about them to any real degree. One of the cops being named Shrek is super distracting

Top badass moment? The vodka that cracks the cup; I want it. Now that's what I call REAL vodka. I've days like Alex, except my premonitions are always for another dull day ahead; and if I’m honest they're more of a memory of yesterday than a vision of tomorrow. But often very accurate. This is a decent film, although it was rather losing it a bit by the time the cable started to behave like an Anaconda that’d eaten a bowl of Carolina Reaper chillies. 1 decapitation, no cats or chainsaws.

The idea that a person can predict the deaths of people is an interesting idea, but in Final Destination it isn't really well plotted out. The acting in the movie is pretty poor. This movie really is a throwback to the beginnings of the WB. The actors of this movie are a time capsule of the type of actors and actresses of the late 90's and early 2000's. It wasn't a bad movie, but it wasn't that good either.

When it first came out, it was fresh and interesting, complex enough to leave you guessing, but not too much. It was fun how all the little details were putting you on the trail or leading you the wrong way, with foreshadowing and the character's paranoia mixing until you saw the death happening and went, oh yeah! It also left quite many of us paranoid of all the ways little accidents could take place and kill us, so bravo.

A fun take on the teen-slasher. Sawa, Detmer and Smith aren't the Oscar winning type, so it goes without saying that the acting in the film is sub-par at best, but Larter and Cloke manage to save several scenes. The plot is the only asset this film has or needs. It's individuality is it's strongest suit, and even with completely predictability, "Final Destination" manages to thrill and even be considered a top horror film of the decade.

An interesting twist on a popular genre; slightly overacted by the young cast, but I think that was the point. Follwed by two exact replica sequels, with new casts and deaths. Hardly a trilogy with any semblance of continuity, but fun for people who enjoy a little splatter now and again.

I didn't see this film until many years later, because when it came out I figured it was just another lame Scream-ripoff with good looking teens hunted by a killer. It was a pleasant surprise to find an original premise and an enjoyable horror movie. The sequels are sillier and have more elaborate death scenes, but the original has a better story. The opening scene is legendary, and guaranteed to give you a fear of flying.

Final Destination is something of a rarity among the teen horror genre in the fact that it, for the mostpart, has an interesting idea and some decent action sequences. The surreal and gory deaths are what the film is remembered for however, placing the blame for which on the invisible presence of the spirit of death itself for the reasoning behind these mishaps works well even if it isn't a totally fresh idea. Through the expectedly mediocre acting, it's very enjoyable even desipite some flaws.

Interesting premise which is executed very poorly. It walks a tightrope between horror and slapstick and much of it turns out to be neither - the setpieces seem designed to create comedy but the direction seems to indicate horror - and because the film never really pushes in either direction we have a bland, poorly acted, heavily telegraphed film with just a few good gags here and there and no real dread. The acting is, across the board, utter shit too.

The first is the best! Unlike its sequels, this one took itself seriously instead of throwing in so much unneeded comic relief to a dark plot. Final Destination is frightening all the way till the end, the acting is great, and all the characters are interesting.

Looks like somebody got a special-effects kit for Christmas. I hope this was supposed to be taken as a comedy--or spoof or something--cuz some of the deaths (especially the teacher-lady's) were quite deliriously over the top (the knife rack falling on her, for example). Pretty much the usual dumb corny teen dialogue stuff at the start. Also the ending's a joke (right?). But the DVD copy said it was an "edge of your seat thriller." Maybe a rolling-on-your-seat laugher? Oh well.

An inventive take on the slasher genre, with the killer this time being Death itself. The kills are highly original and suspense, and crafted by Death to look like horrific accidents. A game cast and sturdy directing make this one a lot of fun.

This could have been pretty good, but it drags horribly from start to finish. A couple of neat action sequences break up the monotony somewhat, but it's hard to get into this kind of film if you don't even care who lives or dies.
