Love the concept it's so simple; There is no "Good Guy" or " Bad Guy" You Can't Cheat Death! ....Only problem though at least one or more always seems to survive

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.

More interesting, plot-wise, than the second and third installments, because it was fresher, but the deaths aren't nearly as interesting as its follow-ups were.

Stupid, dull and annoyingly preposterous. Give Death some credit here. Lashing electricity cables? Out-of-control trucks? How about a nice cosy genocide or the subtlety of a bloodclot? Bah.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

A fun horror film. I did find the end funny. It flashes 6 months later, and the characters have a conversation that certainly would have been had earlier. How can you explain Devon Sawa as a teen heartthrob with that cool hair flip to teens nowadays?

The first film wasn't very good, but at least the idea was... original? Still, I don't like the premise of this film. The entire film is just creative ways to kill people in ludicrous circumstances. The plot itself doesn't make sense. Why doesn't "death" just make these people die in car accidents or slipping in the shower or some such?

Actually kind of darkly clever, in its way. The creativity that goes into some of these deaths, just to ensure that the audience won't be able to predict them, is much appreciated. And an interesting idea.

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.

This is cool. The handling is good, the waiting is tense, & most of the kills are creepy. About time we has something decent in this genera after the last couple weak offerings. While it may be popcorn trash entertainment, it still sticks to me when i leave the theater making me look for clues to my possible impending demise.

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.

After the shitastic sequels it's easy to forget, but back in the day this was pretty damn clever and fun. The deaths here are less rube goldberg and more real-world based than the sequels, which is for the best. Also, whatever happened to Devon Sawa?

So bad that it's good. Watch in awe as a bunch of pretty teenagers get mowed down: EACH DEATH MORE HILARIOUS THAN THE LAST! Unlike the sequels, this one actually knows how to have fun. Filmed in Vancouver, it's fun to watch people get plowed down by speeding buses and out-of-control trains. Before this movie, I never realized BC Transit was so evil.

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.

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.

This isn't suspense. This isn't a thriller. This is pure comedy. I'm usually rather emotionally quiet when watching films, but this got my laughing out loud. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's ridiculous or anything. I think it's a great concept carried out perfectly, but it's just hilariously creative.
