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 Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Dec 30, 2006 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 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

Pedro Henrique C Final Destination 2 is a film with a very rushed ending, while the beginning tries to delve deeper into the story and explain things that were already questioned in the first one. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Shaun R These films are pretty much all the same, and I’m not sure how much more original any sequel in the franchise can be. They are however entertaining, and the deaths are enough to keep a horror fan happy. Due to the concept of the films, I am not sure if these films will ever stop being made. For the sake of 90 minutes of nonsense, I say bring them on. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review Oaklee D More of the same horror cheese that you've grown accustomed to when it comes to the Final Destination franchise. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/18/25 Full Review Max W Though the middle act descends into a bit of a mess, Final Destination 2 still delivers the franchise’s signature blend of suspenseful, unpredictable deaths and that disturbingly infectious sense of everyday dread. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/07/25 Full Review Michel B по уровни крови фильм находится наравне с предыдущей частью. здесь все смерти выполнены достаточно качественно и доставляют интерес. но создатели фильмы зачем-то решили, что могут победить смерть и начали сильно путать зрителей не всегда понятными выводами Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/05/25 Full Review Tyler G I think it was better than the first movie, even with the premise already revealed at the start. It has the most famous scene in the series. Still not great, but it was an enjoyable and gruesome horror show. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/04/25 Full Review Read all reviews
