"'Final Destination 2' exploits the universal fear of death -- but it does so with a creepy, creative flair."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
3/5
"The film does mostly follow its predecessor?s routine, a wise choice; although it has become a less enticing, second lap around the same track."
NutzWorld
Blake French
3/4
""Final Destination 2" may not be on the level that its creepy, unnerving and effective predecessor is, but what it lacks in thrills it nearly makes up for in delicious—if gratuitous—absurdity."
Cinemaphile.org
David Keyes
2.5/4
"Surprisingly good of its kind... if you like gross-out gore, that is."
Movie Boeuf
David N. Butterworth
3/4
"...one of the most purely enjoyable films out there right now."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
2.5/4
"If my mini-anxiety attack driving home following the film is any indication,
Final Destination 2
if nothing else, may just give you nightmares for days afterward at the mere thought of getting onto the highway."

2/4
"It's like Death and Ingmar Bergman sitting around playing Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon."
Slant Magazine

"It's some sort of classic."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
2/4
"In director David R. Ellis’s feeble and rancid offering
Final Destination 2
, we’re treated to more of the same nonsensical gory goings-on. This disjointed display of recklessness is bluntly overwrought, blatantly numbing and downright laughable."
Movie Eye

"The inventiveness of the death scenes isn't quite enough to compensate for the dullness of the rest, but it comes close."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
1.5/4
"The movie mandates complete gullibility and vacuous attention in order to work on any level."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
"Now that the ground rules have been established for the Final Destination movies, the fun lies in seeing the inventive ways in which the writers dispatch the various characters in the sequel."
Sci-Fi Movie Page
James O'Ehley
3/10
"With most every ounce of effort and imagination going into figuring out 'creative' ways to kill the various characters, the film is otherwise an empty exercise in brutal and sadistic horror humor."
Screen It!
Jim Judy
7/10
"Definitely not for the squeamish!"
JoBlo's Movie Emporium
JoBlo
2/4
"Same concept, more fun... if you're the kind of moviegoer that thinks creative carnage and watching frantic, screaming people die horribly is fun."

"It turns the squirm factor up to 11"

B-
"Where else have you seen a death scene that involved a leaking aquarium, a crane, pigeons, a mobile, a sheet of glass and nitrous oxide?"
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
2/5
"The formula is so rigid that no matter how clever the variations, they're still fundamentally predictable: Any character around long enough to acquire a name is bound to wind up resting in pieces."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
2/4
"Death pretty much takes a holiday."
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
"[An] uncomfortable combination of giggle-inducing absurdity and disgustingly graphic visions of death."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
1.5/4
"One by one these people get bumped off, one by one the people in the audience laugh their asses off."
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
2/5
"If that's what you came for, you won't go away disappointed."

"
Premonição 2
certamente não é tão tenso quanto seu predecessor, embora seja igualmente divertido."

"“Final Destination 2” is, in a word, a hoot."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
3.5/5
"What a novel conceit: take exactly what's wrong with modern horror movies (i.e. boredom and predictability) and flip the proverbial script on 'em. The beauty of the
Final Destination
flicks is that anyone can die at any time - and often do."
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
2/4
"The audience in a very direct way becomes that invisible cold wind that announces the arrival of doom--
Final Destination 2
is almost interactive."
