RSS Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I have one meager request. It's really a simple thing to ask for, considering I've now seen (and in several cases, suffered through) all five Final Destination movies. Given my resentment for the previous two films, mild annoyance for the one before it, and my admiration for the original, I think I'm owed something for spending so many dollars on these things. (And no, I don't want an autograph from Ali Larter or Devon Sawa.) That one thing I ask for is merely an explanation: What are these movies trying to be? The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/reviews/m/final-destination-05.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 We'll never agree on these movies, but it's always good to see more writing on the main page. Nice work, bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Thanks, Dubs. I'm just befuddled by the entire franchise. I completely understand why you like them so much, so it's not like when you and I argue about the movies that I think you're wrong. It's just that I don't really get what their ultimate goal is.

Guest Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Their goal is to be a special effects exhibition for gore hounds, and I think they fulfill that role perfectly. Obviously they're not about masterful storytelling, but they supply the two things that I require of a good horror movie - anticipation and execution, without the self-importance of a movie like Saw. And they had the good sense to put that chick in her underwear in the last one, so I can't complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
