Love it or hate it, here is another sequel. I definitely liked the first two and I think the third will grow on me. The good thing about this movie is that you can see it without seeing the other two first as there are few references to the other two movies and none of the actors from the previous movies make any appearance.I liked the blood and guts; the death scenes in the Final Destination movies are always interesting and creative. In this one, death even has his own theme song.Unfortunately as the movie progresses it becomes a little dumb and improbable, a lot like the first two in that way I guess. It is quite seriously lacking in plot, but who needs it when you have pretty girls and boys being blown up and violently killed.If you are a Final Destination fan then it is unlikely that #3 will disappoint, and if you like thrillers with lots of cartoonish blood then this will probably hit your spot. But if you are looking for a horror movie which will make you think for days afterward about how brilliant and substantial it was, then this is definitely not the film for you.Emm Puttick
