Quick thoughts: Final Destination 5 is a good example of why I will mostly likely watch Paranormal Activity 5. Because sometimes a sequel is damn good. I had kinda given up on the FD series after 4 (mostly because 3 and 4 were boring and I actually keep forgetting I even watched 4), but then someone on a podcast said 5 was actually pretty fun, so I said, what the hey. I AM a completist, after all. Now that most, if not all, I haven't actually checked, of the Hellraiser movies are on Netflix Instant, I'll probably make my way through those. YES. I will regret it, and I know this already. But I will do it.
ANYHOODLE. Final Destination 5. Again, like PA 5, this series has a conceit that definitely wears thin. Hence the badness of 3 and 4. But I dunno, 5 was just fun. The kill sequences were awesome, and the opening made me giggle numerous times. Ultimately, I only gave this movie 3 stars, though, mostly cuz the ending was majorly lame. Unlike 3 and 4, though, I'll watch this one again. I'd totally do a marathon and skip 3 and 4. I think Dick Casablancas may have been in 3, though, so maybe I'd watch it again. *skitters off to check interwebs* WRONG, it was Nick Zano I was thinking of, not Ryan Hansen, and it was 4. See, I still don't remember 4 at all!!
So, the FD films in order of awesomeness: 2, 1, 5, 3. That's it, right? I'm not missing something?? Nah.
