Final Destination series

I have seen the FD series individually and in an odd span of time and felt I should watch them in order. Not recommended for everyone.

Final Destination I

7/10

Being the first in the series, FD1 is very thrilling and captivating. My second favourite in the series.

The acting is good and fairly realistic. I felt attached to the characters and enjoyed the subtle humor that comes.

The use of gore will make you cringe and veer away from the screen for a moment. Audience sees the universe moving on its own then skips right into a pool of blood leaving viewers feeling discomfort.

Final Destination II

3.5/10

This is by far the worst of the series, the acting is mediocre and the storyline is weak. The gore is there, but was not able to save this film.

FD2 is trying hard to connect to the first FD, whilst bringing in bits of new pieces into the storyline, but fails to delivery. I didn't feel connected to any of the characters and am not impressed with the plot line.

The only positive part of this film is the action sequence of the car pile up at the beginning of the film. This scene is action pack despite the fake and overly exaggerated the explosions and fire balls.

Final Destination III

8/10

The best of the series!

Solid storyline, great casting and the prefect use of gore.

Great acting from an amazing cast! Love Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the lead role. She is never shy with her facial expressions, making it easy to connect with her character. Out of the entire series, Winstead has the best performance.

The storyline (thankfully) veered away from the first FD and went it's own course.

The gore is prefect---disgusting and believable. It will leave you feeling both intrigued and gagging.

The ending wraps up the idea of "final destination" idea nicely, not cheesy or over done.

The Final Destination (IV) 
 

5/10

The Final Destination could have been done much better.

The acting is very flat, no emotions shown. I didn't feel any connection to the characters.

The gore is not very good in FD4, especially the escalator scene. I understand the want to use lots of blood for the gore, but it is so far-fetched how she started excreting blood...

The ending is mediocre, and not memorable at all.
