Final Destination 3-D
Uneven. I liked the first two. The third was... meh. This one is a little more meh.

The thing is that in the first two movies, there's a certain amount of fear on behalf of the characters. You don't like all of them, but you're cheering them on to beat death, until someone finally does in the second. Even the third had some semblance of humanity in the characters.

By this point, we don't really get to know any of them well enough to care when they bite it. There's not really any suspense (hell, the main character's is something in this one, so we even get to know what's going to happen before it does), there's no horror movie adrenaline. Really, you're just waiting to see how the next person is going to die. It's like a weird kind of porn, with previews, teases, awkward premises, all of which are just muck to get through until the bodily fluids start flying. You end up cheering for death, instead of the characters.

The most disconcerting part- the standard horror movie morality starts poppilng up in this one. Have sex, and you get killed. Separate, and you get killed. Be addicted to something, and get killed. What was refreshing, or at all good for that matter, about the previous two was the amorality of death, and the unpredictability. In the end, everyone dies, because, well, everyone dies eventually. That's how death works. Not because they banged someone in the pool-house. Trying to bring a moral compass to it, just felt... out of place.
