Final Destination 3 - Movie Review

[@AllgoodthingsTv]

Yeah, that FD 5 ending is really unexpected and a great tie in to one of the other movies. I liked 3 as well largely because of Winstead.

[@Bingbangxox]

FD5 ending is the epitome of the term “full circle moment” loved that ending!!

The tanning saloon scene scarred me as a kid 🤣 such a horrific death for those two girls

[@tmntvspr]

That smash cut to the coffins always make me laugh which is impressive to go from horror to a laugh in an instant

[@LittleAngryCarrots]

It did for me too! I remember as a kid I’d play one of the gta games that had “rollercoaster” on one of the stations and I’d immediately switch channels. Weird 😅😂

[@FishininFunkyTown]

The rumored backstory to the song is what freaked me out in that scene.

[@felipesadventures]

I think that is the WORST way to die out of the entire series

[@eliben4066]

@@felipesadventuresI would give that to Hunt’s death in The Final Destination. Organs being pulled out of your ass as you simultaneously drown. Terrible movie, but they managed to get one (two if you include the escalator from the premonition) extremely effective death scene in there, I’ll give them that

[@isoutoforbit]

For me the tanning bed death is by far the worst death in the franchise, the combo of extreme claustrophobia and slowly being burned alive... yeah that scene is scarred in my memory from when I watched it as a kid lol

[@brittschmidt9835]

Agreed 100% that's still so scarring to this day. One of the reasons I've never been to a tanning bed. I watched it young enough to never let me wanna experience something as normal as going to a tanning bed even at the age of 28 😂

I remember being at my local cinema went I was younger and I walked by a theater playing FD3. Idk what scene it was, but I remember seeing two girls walk out, one of whom was crying. I'd like to think the tanning bed scene is what made them leave, because it's just so upsetting. For a franchise that's about fun and ridiculous deaths, that scene feels actually kinda cruel along with the nail gun death later on.

[@eliben4066]

It’s one of the more conceptually funny deaths, a blonde and a brunette get tanned to death. But if you think about it, it’s horrifying. Especially considering that for two idiots, they were pretty kind. They didn’t deserve to be cremated alive

[@TheBretchenShow]

@@eliben4066 100%! At first, I was thinking the movie was being the tyical 00's flick that made fun of super feminine "bimbo" girls, but between him, the creep with the camera, the rude goths, and the aggro jock, I guess FD3 kinda just made annoying stereotypes to kill off (though those girls were the nicest of them all).

[@gavinbeard4026]

I agree it was incredibly unsettling especially since most of the deaths leading up to that were usually Quick and silly but this one just kept Going on and on and is the worst.

Mary-Elizabeth Winstead pretty became an instant favorite of mine with this movie. I’ll watch anything with her in it.

The movie is so-so, but Mary Elizabeth Winstead is incredible, giving what is most likely the best performance of the entire Final Destination franchise. You could see she had the makings of a genuine movie star.

The third one is easily my favorite movie from this series.

Always had a soft spot for the series, but this one is probably my favourite, have so many memories of watching this again and again on Blu-ray, Elizabeth Weinstead was so cute in this movie too at least for kid me, and it also made very paranoid about rollercoasters as a kid😂

[@SabrinaRina]

Thank you about Frankie! I knew a Frankie named Zach. He carried a camera all over college campus obviously filming women's chests or up skirts, proclaiming his rights to free expression. He came to a friend's house uninvited, my friend couldn't stand up to anyone and wouldn't ask him to leave, and when I told him not to point his camera at me he started more purposely pointing at me and chased me, cornering me, asking me "why don't you want to be filmed, you're pretty enough". It's truly horrifying being harassed like that and when no one even puts a creep like that in their place a little.

Over the top side characters, that I love to laugh at, and over-the-top death scenes, which are a lot of fun, and some are disgusting. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is a darling. This, Death Proof and Black Christmas, what a fucking trinity. Ps. The locations for this movie are so sleek. The architecture and sticks surrounding. Reminds me of the Scream franchise.

I have followed Mary Elizabeth Winstead after I saw her in this movie back in 2006 because I was mesmerized by her beauty. She has multiple movies back to back and is very easy on the eye as she is with her acting skills, she could have risen to fame earlier in her career but at the time she has no plans in starring in a bigger budget movie and wanted to do more in the Indie films as you can see with her filmography but not until she met her now husband Ewan McGregor. She has starred in bigger budget movies and are also crappy ones.

Isn't this also the one where the deaths are so Rube Goldbergian that it crosses into eye rolling silliness?

[@keyman6689]

One thing I liked about this installment were the pictures and the clues they find in them. That was a nice twist. The first movie was really fantastic. There's a real grief and emotionality to the whole story. The sequels are pretty much simply using the formula as a vehicle to kill people in ever increasing creative and gory ways. I still enjoy them for what they are. I do appreciate that there isn't some guy chasing people around with a knife. That's what intrigued me about this series to begin with. The fake outs are great, too. It brings a giddy fun to the party. A definite guilty pleasure.

The scariest part of this movie is the choose-your-own-adventure version only lets you save Frankie, which leads to him getting arrested for sexually harassing an undercover cop, which he films on his camcorder before she takes him to the station. I love this entire franchise, but 2 is easily my favorite due to it's campy comedic tone and absurd deaths, but then there's that one in the middle that's so sad that it's jarring in the elevator. 5 is the least enjoyable for me, it's very gory, wince-inducing workplace torture scenarios basically, but then shifts into a weird slasher near the end? The ending I already knew going in, so I came out the other end a tad disappointed that this was the critically acclaimed one. Excited for 6 to come out, it follows paramedics.

I really enjoyed your review on this one, this was my fave of the original trilogy mainly because of MEW (who, as you say, was a standout and highlight). I think when you get to a third movie in a franchise you usually see quality dipping and it being tacky or whatever, particularly in horror films, BUT, I think MEW actually makes this movie work, I think if it wasn’t her as the lead it would have been forgotten about so quickly and the franchise left behind
