What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Gruesome, ridiculous, really bad waste of time. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
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. Go to Full Review
Stephen A. Russell Orion's Shoulder (Substack) May 25
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 Go to Full Review

2.5/5
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. Go to Full Review

Keith B B Nov 19 Whoa I didn't think it was possible but this one was dumber than the 1st. Don't bother... See more Madam D Nov 17 3.25 stars. In some ways this is not as good as the original. However, the way it is tied to the 1st one is impressive, even bringing along one of the characters. The premonition is amazingly horrible but the individual deaths are pretty horrible too. Didn't recognize Cook from Criminal Minds as her hair was dark here. See more Edward W Nov 1 This is my favourite of the series. Just great kills and nice building of story. See more Darcy J Oct 13 one of the best prermonition sequences, ties up loose ends from the first movie nicely. very entertaining, gory as well so thats a plus. See more Deshawn F. @Poof94 Oct 12 Ok movie liked the first one more but still enjoyed this one See more RUBEN TRISTAN J Oct 11 CLÁSSICO ATEMPORAL E MEU FAVORITO! See more Read all reviews
