There is just no reason for yet another sequel. The first one was interesting and cool. The second was pretty decent and actually connected with the first one. The third was just milking the concept and this fourth is the same thing. We get it already. You can`t cheat Death.

With Ali from Heroes? I am there.

Doesnt the name alone kinda elude to the fact that there shouldnt be any squels to the original movie? Hello "FINAL Destination" This is one of the teenie bopper horror franchises with cheesey acting, laughable special effects and child like writing and plot twists. 1st one was good. Everyone after that...DREADFUL!!! Stop the insanity!!

At least the deaths are cool.

Ali's Character died in Part 2 so i doubt she will be back for this one.

I am sorry. I have to say im pretty amped about this. Final Destination in 3-D guys. Come on how cool would it be to see those cool as death scenes coming right at you. I cant wait for this one to come out. I say bring it on baby. I loved all the movies part 1 and 2 being the best 3 was good but not the best one but still enjoyable to watch. :-)

I have to admit that I think the 3D deaths will be pretty cool, but that's the only reason I'll see this. I enjoyed the first two movies, and while the deaths in the third were fun to watch, the schtick was kind of worn out for me. It's been a pretty inventive series though.

Ah man, I didn't know Ali's character died in the 2nd movie....CRAP!!!!

First movie was clever. Haven't seen any of the sequels. Don't think they really need to be made.

LOTRSUXS • Nov 20, 2007, 09:45am •

FD 1 was pure schlok fun... But the rest of them ran out of steam really really fast. And this one doesn't seem to be any different. And if They're planning on going 3D, then that means the movie will only be shown on digital screens, unless They're pushing for an imax presentation and if That's the case, that means the movie will have tame violence and gore in order to get a pg-13 rating and meet imax standards
