Such a frustrating disappointment

Overrated and overhyped

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This is my favourite of all the films. For me it's very different from the other 4. It just has a different air to it. All the clues are there, but I just didn't see them, so I was completely blown away by the ending. Very good. I think this franchise is my favourite horror movie franchise as I really like all the films.

Many of you FD fans out there who'd been there since the first film probably wondered what as to the point of FD 5 (and by that I mean the point of making a 5th film to begin with and making it the way it had been made). FD 4 was excellent, resembling the first in its level. FD 5, on the other hand, felt like nothing more than an unapologetic attempt at squeezing the franchise for another few bucks.The plot has nothing of interest and nothing worth mentioning. The cast, the acting, all is adequately planned and executed, just like the previous films (good to see Candyman Tony Todd back in this one!) The only thing that should have given this film the edge and added value is its being a "prequel", but even that was poorly done. The ending does connect this film with the first film (and very nicely, I must say), but besides that - one of the key plot points is when the group realizes people are dying in the same order as they did in the premonition. Obviously this was for the sake of new watchers beginning to follow an anthology on its 5th film (there might 2 or 3 people like that, good for them then), but the rest of us had already known everything the characters "learnt" in the film.Besides the nice ending adding a sense of nostalgia and Todd's dominating presence (regardless to short screen time)? No point whatsoever in watching this except for crossing it off the list and unlocking the "watched all 5 FDs" achievement in your Horror scrapbook. Not bad, enjoyable at times, but unnecessary and not the least impressive. I feel bad that FD has to finish on such a low note instead of going out with a bang (as it would have had it ended with number 4 the way it should have had).

This is one of the worst horror movie ever. It is so predictable. The 1st Final Destination is better. And that is an awful movie. Final Destination 2 is a better movie. And that is an awful movie. Final Destination 3 is great movie. That is the best Final Destination movie it is one of the best horror movies of all time. And this one is just pooh pooh. Final Destination 3D is a better movie and that was awful. Why does this have a 5.9. It is not scary at all. There is to mush hype about this movie. It is very badly written do not see it. Just see Final Destination 3 and do not bother with an of the other Final Destination movies.

There are very few long-running horror franchises where I can happily say that I have enjoyed every single chapter, but that is definitely the case with the wonderfully dumb and delightfully gory Final Destination series; admittedly that's probably because each successive sequel has been almost virtually identical in format to the enjoyable original, setting the stage with a spectacular disaster and allowing death to do the rest, but I have enjoyed them nevertheless.Part 5 certainly doesn't stray far from the formula. Barring one new plot device—the kill or be killed rule—and couple of twists that, if you've been paying attention, you may very well guess, this is business as usual: a group of people narrowly avoid being killed but find that their reprieve is only temporary while Death gets its act together. As always, expertly orchestrated and spectacularly gory demises await them all, and this time they're even bloodier than before!If, like me, you have enjoyed the previous instalments in this popular series, then it's almost certain that this one will also satisfy your yearning for inventive deaths and over the top splatter. I only hope that they keep 'em coming 'cos I'm not done yet.
