After a few lacklustre sequels, the Final Destination franchise finally moves back on track, giving us the spectacular and creative deaths we're after. A few new twists are thrown in, and the balance of gore vs laughter is about right, although it still doesn't quite match the first two. Unfortunately, a lot of time is wasted on characterisation- that's not a complaint you hear often, but we don't watch these films to see relationships develop, we want to see Death get his way. Everything else just holds up proceedings.
