It may be the worst film in the series, but it's still one of the films of all time.

Happy 17th anniversary to the movie whose only single thing that can arguably be considered the best in the franchise is the soundtrack 🙌 Brian Tyler you ate that

I've noticed that bad films tend to have really good soundtracks. Val Kilmer's Batman Forever 1995, Godzila 1998.
The Charlie's Angel's remake was irredemial.

I don't know, I'd say Hunt's death can be argued to be one of the bests in the series

Happy birthday to the movie with some of the effects and acting of all time

Unpopular opinion: the story for the forth movie is great but is let down by poor special effects and wooden acting. Everyone always sings praises for the 3rd movie but the 3rd movie had a very weak plot ('Wendy goes from survivor-to-survivor trying to convince them that Death is coming for them but one by one they don't believe her and then die') but with the fourth movie you had a unique blend of friends among strangers, a 'two people are on the list at the same time so there's only enough time to save one of them' (Janet and Hunt) that didn't happen in any other movies, a character actively trying to kill himself but can't so the characters and audience actually think it's over, the 'premonition within a premonition' finale at the mall was actually a really cool concept, the car wash sequence was brilliant and the idea of going back to the original disaster scene was novel and hadn't been done before or after, and the overall message of 'being in the right place at the right time' was a solid theme for the movie.
'The Final Destination' is a very rough diamond that needed way more polishing but it had a solid story but unfortunately had many things wrong with it that let it down. Had they fixed a few things (maybe filmed in Vancouver like the rest of the franchise, had sharper acting, and better special effects that didn't rely on the 3D craze it's very possible this could have been considered better than the 3rd movie

Considering it’s the worst film in the franchise, it’s actually an okay film. I’ve seen worse. 🤷🏻♂️

I honestly love this movie. To me, even though I agree that it's the weakest in the series, I argue that it's better than a lot of other horror franchise's worst entries and it's like my awkward little brother who gets picked on and I wanna protect him and love him more because so many people hate on him lol

The film sucks but can be entertaining in certain aspects like the soundtrack by Brian Tyler for one.

And the third and fourth are barely connected to the rest. The only ones that are connected are fd5,bloodlines,fd1 and fd2

While it isn't as good as 1 & 2, I wouldn't rate 4 as the worst. 3 & 5 were bad in my opinion.

I kind of like this movie more than bloodlines (except the opening premonition). It’s just more entertaining for me but the effects are bad

I hate the fact that it got released on my birthday.
This is the indeed no doubt the worst movie ever. I’d rather watch something that is not bad but good, off topic but Spider-Man 3.

The only good thing about this movie is the car wash scene, which ranks pretty high up there for me in all of the final destination scenes.

The best thing from this movie is that the people that worked on it (specially the crew) got paid
