‘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.

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 10, 2021

Even Hostel showed more respect for the dead

| Aug 30, 2009

A boring and repetitive sequel...

| 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.

| 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.

| 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 ...

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

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

| 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.

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

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

| 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.

| Apr 22, 2006

Vapid, pointless and wholly predictable.

| 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.

| 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?

| 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.

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

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

| 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.
