Critics Consensus

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

Nell Minow Common Sense Media Gruesome, ridiculous, really bad waste of time. Rated: 1/5 Dec 24, 2010 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com 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 Jun 19, 2003 Full Review Nev Pierce BBC.com It's simple, but effective. Rated: 3/5 Feb 4, 2003 Full Review Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast The opening premonition is a series best and the deaths are killer (he he), but the expedited runtime means that the characters are shallow, their relationship to each other under developed, and many of them just kinda suck. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Stephen A. Russell Orion's Shoulder (Substack) It is magnificent, abiding by the more-is-more rule of follow-ups. It also hoodwinks us into a false sense of security that death can be cheated via the self-checked-in padded cellmate of Ali Larter’s returning Clear Rivers May 25, 2025 Full Review Sharai Bohannon A Nightmare On Fierce Street Podcast This feels like a really bad made for TV movie with great kills. I’m happy some of the other sequels are stronger so we get rewarded for sticking it out. Rated: 2.5/5 May 23, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Alejandro J this movie is great its a must watch if you are ever bored but the only thing they should't of done is kill off the girl from the first movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/30/25 Full Review John W After a rewatch, I think it is much better than I remembered. It is well connected to the first movie and gives us more rules. This sequel is also such a fun movie with many creative and more brutal deaths than the first one. It's not perfect but almost at the level of the first. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/25 Full Review Alejandra C I will like this series all throughout. Go watch them all Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review Eddy C Great fun horror sequal, I enjoy this one more than the original. Great kills even I was like, woah, Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/05/25 Full Review Audience Member Great movie, good storyline, entertaining kills, good characters, and awesome acting, Rory's death not so awesome. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/04/25 Full Review Erica B. This movie is really underrated, don’t know why, but fd four sucks Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Read all reviews
