Critics Consensus

Final Destination 3 is more of the same: gory and pointless, with nowhere new to go.

Nick Schager

Lessons of Darkness

Vapid, pointless and wholly predictable.

Rated: C-

Austin Chronicle

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.

Rated: 2.5/5

BBC.com

Once more, Wong raises questions of fate and predestination and, while throwing in a tasteless reference to 9/11, fails to address them. It's an orgy of cheerful carnage with no context or purpose and, worst of all, no suspense.

Rated: 1/5

Orion's Shoulder (Substack)

The absolute scenes of Wong’s opener set on a wonky rollercoaster [but] it's a little sluggish, otherwise, with Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Wendy doing my head in a bit. In a series that delights in silliness, she’s just too much.

Battle Royale With Cheese

‘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.

The Post NZ

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.

Rated: 3/5

I think the third installment is just average. We have some good death scenes, but except of one new element the plot and rules are nearly the same as in the two movies before. It is still funny and entertaining but gives us uninteresting characters, which means you don't care about them.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
