Final Destination 2 (2003)

Once again, a teen's vision saves a group from certain death.  Afterwards, the survivors begin dying in elaborate ways as they desperately search for a way to change fate.

Quick Review: The fun in Final Destination was the Rube Goldberg-like death scenes.  Final Destination 2 is more of the same.  The dialog isn't as sharp and the added way to escape fate is unnecessary, but the convoluted deaths are still a kick.  With the exception of Clear Rivers (Ali Larter), a holdover from the first film, Final Destination 2 doesn't even attempt to create sympathy for the characters.  They exist to die, and as they do it well, it's hard to complain.  I can't rank this any higher as there is nothing that wasn't done as well or better in the first.
