Summary
Reviewers say 'Final Destination 3' offers creative and gory death scenes, praised as a highlight. However, many criticize its lack of originality, repetitive plot, and unlikable characters. Seen as weaker than predecessors, it fails to recapture the freshness and surprise of earlier films. Despite this, it remains entertaining for series fans.
Featured reviews
To be honest, I hadn't expected too much from "Final Destination 3" as the 2nd installment disappointed me. While the 1st part was refreshing and suspenseful, the following one was repetitive and went over the top. What about "Final Destination 3"? It's a some kind of combination of two previous installments. In the film seriousness coexists with comedy, while the latter is more frequent than the first. Comedy, most of all, stems from characters with very low IQ. One of them shouts with superiority something like "death will never defeat me" and then dies in most ridiculous way. Thus, the film is intentionally laughable at times. What's more, the flick abounds with awesome deaths and these quality gore scenes are probably the biggest virtues of this horror movie. Besides, the script is rather superficial and repetitive. I only liked an idea of photos depicting how victims will die. That's it. Other feature ideas were taken from previous parts. To sum up, this flick is worth watching especially with your mates.
Now, it's Wendy's (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) turn to have a dream of horror, this time on a roller coaster. So her and a few others get off of the coaster but of course, a few die. Well, of course there has to be a neat little twist and this one is: Clues of her friend's deaths are in pictures taken on the night of the accident.
6.5/10 In my opinion, each film just keeps getting better... by .5 points. The first, IMO, was a 5.5, the 2nd was a 6, now this one is a good 6.5.
Why do I like this one the best? It tries hard not to sag as much as the others. While the first one left us in utter confusion, and the 2nd one tried hard to be tricky, this one really gives us a fun task: Trying to guess HOW the person will die based on the picture.
The opener is the 2nd best one in the series (Nothing beats the original's opener), and the Quantity of the deaths are better (3 good death scenes) but the Quality of them is best in the first (2 GREAT deaths)

With no villain and impossible yet plausible deaths, final destination has a high octane creep factor that will keep you on edge for weeks after. The third installment is no exception. Wild deaths, decent acting, and no storyline necessary. This movie screams the 2000s, a girl with her flip phone and highlights.
Once you've seen Final Destination there's not much more of the story to tell, or twist, or reveal. All three films could actually be compiled together to make one long film, in other words, the story is told and the scene is set in part one, the two that follow just get more creative with how messy, bloody, and bazaar each person is slaughtered. And thats why I love these films.
Final Destination 3 is really no different than the two before it, except the creepy bald morgue guy who seemed to have a fetish for death does not make an appearance in this one. There's not much to say, if I told you how each person were sliced, diced, smashed, crushed, impaled...you get the point, then I would be revealing the only reason any of us purchased a ticket. There is no denying those who seen this one in theaters were there just to see how bad death could be dealt. Let me tell ya, "There's some really sick and twisted ways these people die." Anyway, for those who enjoy gross and disturbing this one is worth checking out. Enjoy!

Final Destination 3 is basically the same film as Final Destination only this time its a roller coaster crash not a plane exploding that disrupts deaths plan.
With some cool and very gory death scenes, an all new cast, and the same creepy, death's coming to get you feel as the first two films. This turns out to be way better than i would have expected.
I highly recommend you see the first 2 films as well, even if they aren't required viewing as far as understanding the plot goes.
6/10 its the worst of the three, but only because it no longer has the freshness and originality, it is still just as much fun to watch.

Did you know
- TriviaTony Todd, who portrayed William Bludworth in Destination finale (2000) and Destination finale 2 (2003) provides the voice of the devil above the entrance to the roller coaster. He also provides the speaker's voice saying, "This is the end of the line" in the subway towards the end of the film.
- Goofs(at around 4 mins) Wendy uses the schools camera for the yearbook, saying that she has to turn in the pictures for a deadline. But in the scene where she is picking up her diploma (at around 24 mins) everyone already has their yearbooks. Later, Julie asks to use the camera to get pictures of graduation to meet deadline.
- Quotes
Ian McKinley: Equal... in death's eyes? All of us? How can you say that? Dude, think it through: Charlie Manson, made it to 70, Osama, still kicking. Pimps, vice presidents, walking around, all the atrocities they've committed, they're alive and well. These two girls, never done shit to anybody, they don't get to make it to 18. Where's the fucking equality in that?
- Crazy creditsAt the end of the credits you will hear the mortician (William Bludworth) laugh.
- Alternate versionsThe free preview bonus DVD that came packaged with the "Final Destination: Scared 2 Death Pack" featured an extended version of the scene where Wendy and Kevin are being escorted off the roller coaster by security. In this version, they don't cut away to show the roller coaster flying off the tracks. Instead you only hear the accident as a horrified Wendy witnesses the incident.
