The critic consesnsus is: Final Destination 3 is more of the same: gory and pointless, with nowhere new to go.. What reviews supported this critic consensus?
1. Whether conscious or not on the part of the filmmakers, the gory logic follows America's understandable desire to rationalize the effects of such physical violence that its invisible soldiers are suffering in Afghanistan and Iraq.
2. It's here to up the ante from Final Destination 2 (which featured a beautiful car pileup, a barbecue explosion and a fire-escape impaling) and instead it creates poetry out of the filmic slaughter.
3. More teenagers dying gruesomely.
4. The people in this movie are some of the stupidest people in the history of movies.
5. "Final Destination 3" doesn't strive to be anything more than a loose collection of cool killings.
6. 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.
7. With inventive ideas like this, the series can clearly run and run. But they really need to take it to another level now.
8. Wong goes on auto-pilot to plot even more despicable ways of killing off the survivors, preferably minus their clothes.
9. The notion of horror movie as thrill ride is cannily literalized in the bravura amusement-park opening sequence...
10. This third installment of the Final Destination franchise is the most disgusting, and viscerally enjoyable movie blood-bath in years.
