They're surprising, yes, but the surprises wear off very quickly. Usually, in the FD films, seeing the set up of the Rube Goldberg-like death scenes IS the suspense, but in here, they feel as if they come out of nowhere because of how rushed everything is.
Another problem about the death scenes is that there is barely any suspense when people are about to get killed. What is the freaking point in watching this film if they turn out to be lazy to an extent that some death scenes are rehashed from previous FD films? Exactly. We all have to admit it sooner or later but we see these films for the death scenes. Even though this film has the most death scenes compared to the previous entries, most of them suck and even that word wouldn't give the deaths that much justice. The laziness is also extended to the death scenes. The film is so lazy that there are even glaring plot holes in the hackneyed script! How the hell does a film that is based on something ridiculous have plot holes? The film-better yet, the franchise, spends most of its time in setting up rules on the order people are going to die yet this film ignores practically everything and kills people in any order it feels like! Even the clever foreshadowing from the previous films is quite blatant here. The laziness is so apparent in here that you're wondering how much the executives offered in their salary. You feel as if the filmmakers wanted to get through with the film. In fact, this is one of the most disappointing movies of this year! The fact that the makers of part two has returned just adds on to the frustration. If I were to describe this film in one word, I would say DISAPPOINTING. When it was announced that David Ellis was returning to the director chair (along with screenwriter Eric Bress), I was quite excited, considering that part two is arguably the best in the series.
Even the much maligned third film is starting to grow on me. I would like to start off by saying I'm a fan of the FINAL DESTINATION series.
