Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: It contains some of the most brain-dead people a screenplay has ever produced. Read more
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Entertaining enough to make you forget that you're watching little more than death warmed over. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: When a horror flick gets tedious, it's DOA. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: Read more
Loren King, Chicago Tribune: FD2, despite some imaginative fatalities, is less a movie than a slick video game. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Once you get past its supremely nonsensical title, Final Destination 2, a smooth and sharp slice of teen-gothic cheese, is kind of fun. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: The movie is a real jolter for horror fans who like the charge of gory images but also demand a certain level of intelligence in the proceedings. Read more
Bruce Fretts, Entertainment Weekly: Opens with a horrific traffic accident, which seems apt since what follows is the cinematic equivalent of rubbernecking. Read more
Ray Conlogue, Globe and Mail: Final Destination 2 doesn't pretend to be anything other than a robotic repeat of the first film. Read more
Matt Weitz, Dallas Morning News: It has a sense of humor ... but in the end is overwhelmed by its silliness. Read more
Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly: Bloody, graceless and surprisingly effective. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: If you think of all this as an elongated Three Stooges short with bones breaking and membranes splashing, maybe it will go down easier. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: The movie mandates complete gullibility and vacuous attention in order to work on any level. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Takes a good idea from the first film and pounds it into the ground, not to mention decapitating, electrocuting, skewering, blowing up, incinerating, drowning and gassing it. Read more
C.W. Nevius, San Francisco Chronicle: You'll gasp, you'll flinch, you'll cringe, but mostly you'll scream. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Read more
Daphne Gordon, Toronto Star: The filmmakers clearly set out to make a film that featured lots of footage of really disgusting annihilations, then threw together a haphazard script and hired a few hot actors to play the corpses. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: That there is an audience for a movie in which innocent people suffer hideous accidental deaths is troubling enough, but that a group of creative people chose to direct their energies on this repulsive spectacle simply provokes disgust. Read more
Robert Koehler, Variety: Suffers from the same rancid dialogue and acting problems as the original but with a much funnier pulse. Read more
Justine Elias, Village Voice: It's hard to root for a heroine ... who wails, 'It's a sign! Nora and Tim are going to be attacked by pigeons!' Read more
