Kimberly (A.J. Cook) has a premonition of a horrible highway accident killing multiple people -- including her and her friends. She blocks the cars behind her on the ramp from joining traffic -- and as a police trooper (Michael Landes) arrives, the accident actually happens. Now, Death is stalking this group of mistaken survivors -- and one by one they are dying as they were supposed to on the highway.

Critics Consensus

Final Destination 2 is little more than an excuse to stage elaborate, gory scenes of characters getting killed off.

Pushing the limits of an R rating, this sequel to 2000's surprise hit starts with the blood dripping madly and then amps it up to levels as to now unseen in American horror.

Rated: 1.5/4

There is no denying Final Destination 2 is a better film that its predecessor. It is better shot and paced, and smartly delivers exactly what its target market wants.

Rated: 7/10

Despite the occasional flat writing and strange editing, the film takes a familiar concept and executes it in a way that makes it different and interesting. Overall, ‘Final Destination 2’ is a worthy sequel.

Final Destination 2 is legitimately an excellent movie; it's a fun and suspenseful film that manages to improve on the original in every way while also standing entirely on its own.

This is just an even bloodier movie then the first one, the deaths are even more innovative then before and they try to add onto the lore and try to not have a rinse and repeat of the first film. However, the movie is still lacking emotional value, and is still relying HEAVILY on shock and suspense value. The acting is still weak, and the dialogue is still tasteless.

Esta entrega supera a la primera en intensidad y violencia, con un nivel de sangre y acción mucho más elevado. Me gustó considerablemente más, ya que logra mantener el suspenso mientras amplifica el impacto visual y emocional.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I enjoy it more than the first one, that’s not normal, but it is what it is. More deaths more blood more body parts flying all over.
