"There's nothing new, but in the case of the
Final Destination
films, new is not necessary."
FromTheBalcony
Bill Clark
4/10
"Wong and Morgan: your diminished returns are ready. Get 'em while they're hot."
Bloody Disgusting
Brian Juergens
D
"To get to the good stuff, you have to sit through atrocious dialog, amateur acting, and a snail's pace, and
maybe
there's 15 minutes of good material here."
FilmJerk.com
Brian Orndorf
B
"Whether conscious or not on the part of the filmmakers, the gory logic follows America's understandable desire to rationalize the effects of such physical violence that its invisible soldiers are suffering in Afghanistan and Iraq."

"The third film is pretty much what you expect: heads popped and brains yuckily visible. "
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
4/5
"It's official: this is a horror series that actually won't disappoint."
eFilmCritic.com
David Cornelius
3/4
"...an entertainingly shallow, undeniably mindless horror flick."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
2/4
"Absent of the edgy suspense, creativity and thoughtful moments of existentialism that had previously made this horror series more than just a cheap study in evisceration and decapitations."
TheMovieBoy.com
Dustin Putman
.5/4
"A reminder of how low a filmmaker will sink to pander to our most corrupt tendencies."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
B
"The series has made it work with macabre humor and devilishly clever setups."
EricDSnider.com
Eric D. Snider
2/4
"After the third body is completely crushed into salsa chunks, someone from the audience should be allowed to scream 'SEEN IT!'"
eFilmCritic.com
Erik Childress
C
"The series has gotten to the point where there is now effectively Nothing to See Here."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
"I'm not sure how much more overkill this franchise can take ...."
DVD Review
Felix Gonzalez Jr.
1.5/4
"Convincingly pointless and breezy in its hedonistic hokum...Hence, the third time around is not the charm for this foolish and faceless fright flick."
Movie Eye
Frank Ochieng
C-
"The gnawing familiarity of the formula has caught up with the series. Perhaps it's time that Morgan and Wong took the first word of the title seriously and moved on."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
2.5/4
"If you're a
Final Destination
fan, it's unlikely that #3 will disappoint. If you like horror/thrillers with plenty of cartoonish blood and gore, this will hit the spot."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
"Planes, trains, automobiles, the Final Destination franchise has them covered. Is there no safe place for precocious, horny teenagers to hang out and have a good time?"
Light Views
John Larsen
3.0/4.0
"... isn't for everyone, but those in the know who like their horror served up R-rated and over-the-top,
Final Destination 3
delivers..."
MovieCrypt.com
Kevin A. Ranson
3.5/5
"it's easily the funniest movie of the year"
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
B-
"It's a surprise, really, that this entry is as much fun as it is, but trilogy looks about as far as this destination can go."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
4/5
"Spiritually fulfilling? No. Cool as hell? Yes."
Monsters At Play
Lawrence P. Raffel
3/4
"With its third outing, the
Final Destination
series surprisingly gets a second wind."
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
"[A]n unredeemably sadistic film that makes a joke of horrific death. There is absolutely no point to this film
except
inciting audiences to new levels of bloodlust..."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
2/5
"James Wong makes his return to the series he started, after bowing out for 2003's lackluster sequel, only to essentially remake the first film."
Film Threat
Michael Ferraro
2/5
"This film is the least of the three: it lacks the novelty of the first film and the cleverly morbid humor of the second one."
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
2.5/4
"Fans of the series won't be terribly disappointed, but if there's an
FD4
, I hope they have the sense to scale things back just a little bit. Comparing
FD3
to the original proves that a modicum of restraint is most effective."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
C-
"Vapid, pointless and wholly predictable."
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
3.5/5
"With inventive ideas like this, the series can clearly run and run. But they really need to take it to another level now."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
2/5
"This one regresses the series to what Roger Ebert, back in the splatter-film '80s, dubbed the Dead Teenager genre."
eFilmCritic.com
Rob Gonsalves
3.5/5
"The
Final Destination
series caters to its target audience without insulting it -- which is why the flicks make so much damn money."
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
C-
"... there's no suspense or tension and little gallows humor, merely dead space between the next spectacular spray of blood and body parts."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
3/4
"You have all the ingredients here of the pernicious id roiling in the secret think-pan of most thoughtful Americans."
