Dead Silence
[...]First is that the majority of the movie is about these terrible deaths of (more or less) innocent people that we're supposed to be rooting for. Or maybe that's my problem, maybe I'm supposed to be rooting for them to die. I dunno.[...]
The second thing is that the end basically tells you the whole movie really was pointless, they might as well have died on the plane. So the movie takes you for this ride of death that I couldn't enjoy as fully as the movie wanted me to, and then tells you there was no reason for it. I found that really unsatisfying.
[...]To me the first movie seems to be a very very shallow commentary of life in general. What I mean is... things happen in our life, we make choices, we struggle and then we die. All of us. [...]
Final Destination is kind of fun. Final Destination 2 is practically a masterpiece.I really hated every second of a movie called Excited that I saw at TIFF this year. Awful awful film. But I guess that's a standard for Canadian cinema.
