I'm a big fan of the first two so I'll definitely be seeing this. The only problem I had with the trailer is that it seems to reveal a lot of the death scenes (one person actually looks like they're dying in the trailer).

I thought in the one with the car accident the front car didnt go for some reason so it stopped all the people behind them. The people behind them would of died so they all cheated death.

Exactly. The girl stopped up traffic at an on ramp saving several people from being involved in the accident.

But wouldn't people on the road to begin with have died instead? It's not like the people would have left gaping holes in traffic where the people who didn't get to merge would have been. Incidentally, as someone who works part-time at a major roller coaster attraction, if people freak out and decide not to go, we don't fill their seats, as it would screw up the groups waiting in line and take longer to load. We get them out and send the train with empty seats, so if they're already on the ride when the girl has her premonition, that may be the way they would handle that situation. In any case, it's just a horror movie, you can't be looking too deep into it.

Trailer looks good, I'll see it.

I'm there, but I do not like the fact that Morgan and Wong are back at the helm. In fact, I quite hate the fact that New Line got Morgan and Wong back for the film's third outing for several reasons.

1. The first film has a great beginning, but loses steam fairly quick. Once the death count stops and the film turns into a crappy X-Files episode, the film just did not work for me at all. I can have fun with a bad horror film that's providing creative death scenes, but not one that's taking itself seriously and stopping the deaths all together.

2. Morgan and Wong are hacks. The X-Files, The One, and Willard come to mind. Yes. I said it. Fuck The X-Files.

3. I liked the direction David Ellis, Eric Bress, and J. Mackye Gruber brought to the second outing. Instead of being a serious horror film like the first film, it became a satire of itself. It was more of a very brutal dark comedy with horror elements than a horror film with comedic elements. And with that, I had fun with it. It didn't take itself seriously and it let the creators and the audience have fun with what would appear on screen.

4. I dislike that Morgan and Wong are not continuing the story that the Ellis/Bress/Gruber trio started with the second one. However, the women are much hotter in round three.

5. The trailer makes the film look "too" serious, which is the major problem the first film suffered.

Eh, Im still there...

Good to hear. Final Destination was a ton of fun, FD2 pretty much sucked but had a handful of good moments (namely the death scenes.. the rest was awful).

Glad the original director is back, and shocked they didn't follow through with their Final Destination 3D plans :D.

Considering by time of the release, there will only be around 100 screens with digital projection and polarized screens... I'm completely happy the 3D plans were scrapped, and I believe the plan to have the film in 3D was when Ellis was thinking about directing it. When Morgan and Wong came back on, the roller coaster idea was kept, but 3D thrown out.

Final Destination 2 > Final Destination

I have no problem spending ~$12 on this comes on DVD.

Final Destination... 3.

That's like Son of the Last of the Mohicans.

Or six Friday the 13th sequels AFTER The Final Chapter.

Yeah. Not so Final is it.

I know what you did two summers before the last.

Saw it tonight at the Arclight with Q & A afterwards. It's more campy than serious and even the producer knew that the deaths were so over the top and acknowledged that audiences didn't take them seriously.

I will suffice to say that it could have gone straight to video but it's a cash cow. Not made for much money, makes a decent box office and does great in home video. Wong was saying that they were approached by New Line to do a 3rd installment and have it involved a rollercoaster.

Some pretty gruesomely funny kills if you want to have fun. Oh and there's tits, too. :up:

I am a fan of both films, but I am really looking forward to this one because Morgan and Wong are back. The first film was superior to the second one (I LOVED it), IMO. I felt the first one had much better suspense and was really creepy, but the second one was a bit more about creative death scenes (which I don't have a problem with, but I liked Morgan and Wong's style a bit better for horror).

I think Morgan and Wong will give the third one what was missing from the second film.

That gives me some hope. I loved the direction the second one went, mostly because Morgan and Wong fucked the entire thing up on the first outing with their lame "X-Files" subplot in act two.

I'm (hopefully) seeing this Monday, so I'm hoping for something more like part two and less like part one.

I think the whole thing was that Wong realized the pay off are the creative deaths. The suspense is ok and I really had no sympathy for any of the characters. It's more of the anticipation of how they end up getting killed and then pulling a Nelson and going, "Ha ha!"

I'll be using my free ticket for this one. Liked the first 2 installments, but preferred part 2 over 1.

I think that's how Ellis and company did so well with the second installment. They knew the audience wasn't going in for plot, they knew the audience was going in for total death and destruction. :thumbsup:

If Morgan and Wong followed their footsteps, then this outing will be 83 minutes (yes, that's the confirmed running time) of fucking bloody mayhem. :thumbsup:

And is it me or is Mary Elizabeth Winstead the love child of Maggie Gyllenhaal & Shannon Dougherty and Ryan Merriman the love child of Zach Branff & Noah Wiley?

Not sure who this Ryan is but I think he looks more like Paul Rudd:

definitely going to see this with the movie cash i got for buying the FD1/FD2 2 pack.

...and that's pretty much what it is. I caught a screening last night and had good fun.

It's around 58% at RT. That's with under 20 reviews, but still pretty good.

Lucky son of a bitch. :( I had to work late at work on Monday so I got to miss the screening I was supposed to attend.

Same here. I got passes two weeks ago for a screening last night occurring literally down the street from my apartment. I was all excited to go until I realized I had class at the same time.

:up: My fave kill is still the SUV chick from the second one. I'm taking the air bags out of my cars. :)
