Critics Consensus

Final Destination 3 is more of the same: gory and pointless, with nowhere new to go.

C-

Vapid, pointless and wholly predictable.

2.5/5

In its own morbid little way, this is very much a stand-up-and-cheer -- or shriek, as the case may be -- kind of film.

1/5

Once more, Wong raises questions of fate and predestination and, while throwing in a tasteless reference to 9/11, fails to address them. It's an orgy of cheerful carnage with no context or purpose and, worst of all, no suspense.

The absolute scenes of Wong’s opener set on a wonky rollercoaster [but] it's a little sluggish, otherwise, with Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Wendy doing my head in a bit. In a series that delights in silliness, she’s just too much.

‘Final Destination 3’ is a fan favourite for a reason: the death scenes are the most visually horrific ones so far in the franchise, and the cast are fantastic.

3/5

Wong and co- writer Glen Morgan have again carefully and craftily plotted their set pieces, encouraging the audience to search for clues in, and out, of the frame.

Best Final Destination movie. Definitely a great film back in my teenage years in 2006.

It's crazy pointless, and it features some troubling stereotypes, but at times it's really fun. Sometimes even intentionally
