Critics Consensus

This sequel is little more than an excuse to stage elaborate, gory scenes of characters getting killed off.

Final Destination 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Nell Minow Common Sense Media Gruesome, ridiculous, really bad waste of time. Rated: 1/5 Dec 24, 2010 Full Review Final Destination 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Final Destination 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Pushing the limits of an R rating, this sequel to 2000's surprise hit starts with the blood dripping madly and then amps it up to levels as to now unseen in American horror. Rated: 1.5/4 Jun 19, 2003 Full Review Final Destination 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Megan Williams Battle Royale With Cheese Despite the occasional flat writing and strange editing, the film takes a familiar concept and executes it in a way that makes it different and interesting. Overall, ‘Final Destination 2’ is a worthy sequel. Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Final Destination 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Michael Walsh Nerdist Final Destination 2 is legitimately an excellent movie; it's a fun and suspenseful film that manages to improve on the original in every way while also standing entirely on its own. Jan 31, 2018 Full Review Final Destination 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Steve Newton Georgia Straight Just the fact that it manages to keep the viewer involved despite the plot's general ridiculousness makes it the most effective Vancouver-shot horror flick in years. Rated: 3/5 Feb 9, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Julian S FINAL DESTINATION 2 is a soulless copy of its predecessor, filled with shallow characters and a lead who seems as disengaged as the audience enduring it. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Joshua P If there was no Final Destination after this, the series would have been perfect. The first Final Destination was great, and this is great, and then the next one is good. And the next one is ok, and eh and then bad. They just got worse. But this one is amazing, I love it. Gory mess is always cool. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review Hailee B Uhm, I was lowkey confused the whole time I did wish the characters had more of a connection it was very bland to me. I will say you amped up the gore like that traffic scene Jesus everyone-fucked lol aint no way claire going keep living death will always come back in mysterious ways. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/17/24 Full Review cinema f “You can't cheat death twice.”I won’t be going behind any truck again that’s for sure. Clear coming back for the second film was amazing. 5/5 stars. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/26/24 Full Review Char T A great film! Plays on the first film's idea, but grows more suspense and thrill. It's interesting to see what else the writer's come up with. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Gianvito A Not as good as the first one but i still had fun with this Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
