The Final Destination (2009)
Felt Cheated
Just saw TFD. It was pretty awful and felt like I had been ripped of paying $15.50(CDN) for the 3D effects.
The death scenes were mostly enjoyable and I laughed at a few. The script and acting was terrible. You could edit the entire move with the crash scene, followed by each of the deaths. You didn't need the 'one liners' connecting each death scene.
One particular scene which bugged me, was when the 'jock' got toasted, and the following scene there is no mention of their friend just dying. Instead the group are shopping and carrying on like nothing happened.
FD3 was really fun and enjoyable. Unfortunately with TFD, i just wanted it to be over and thought it was a bit of a joke.
Save your money or if you need to see it, choose the 2D option.
The Return (2005)
Slow, lack of script and a Dodge Ram commercial
Not a great film, but better than Grudge 2, which was woeful.
There is a reason why people will like this film....they are 12 -17 year olds which is who the intended audience is. Yes it tied together at the end....by then i was eying my watch hoping the film didn't make it past the 90min mark. Thank gawd it didn't! I also found the continued focus on the Dodge Ram 1500 annoying...why was this done, there is no reason. Yes she is driving a truck...we got that in the first few scenes. One other annoying aspect of the film were the many scenery shots: barren land, or a sunset or a road. To many and it looks like you are trying 'fill' the movie to make 87mins. The story was interesting, the script was well...poor. It was the writers second show so he can only improve on the material he has written.
