	Author	Review
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"An apt -- perhaps even a therapeutic -- entertainment for these jumpy times."	POS
United States	Robert Koehler Variety	"[It] suffers from the same rancid dialogue and acting problems as the original but with a much funnier pulse."	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Takes a good idea from the first film and pounds it into the ground, not to mention decapitating, electrocuting, skewering, blowing up, incinerating, drowning and gassing it (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United Kingdom	William Thomas Empire	"If it lacks the novelty factor and artfully constructed mayhem of the original, FD2 still manages to be enjoyably silly Friday night fright fare."	POS
United States	Maitland McDonagh TV Guide	"The formula is so rigid that no matter how clever the variations, they're still fundamentally predictable: Any character around long enough to acquire a name is bound to wind up resting in pieces. If this is your idea of fun, step right up."	NEU
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"It's difficult to say whether the second Final Destination is better or worse than its unworthy predecessor. It's certainly dumber and less coherent.(…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	IGN	"[It] seems to have set out to do only one thing – deliver bloody deaths on the most impressive scale – and within that rather limited ambition, it succeeds as a sadistic piece of amusement.	NEU
United Kingdom	Nev Pierce BBC	"It's simple, but effective (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"That a group of creative people chose to direct their energies on this repulsive spectacle simply provokes disgust."	NEG
United States	C.W. Nevius SFGATE	"You'll gasp, you'll flinch, you'll cringe, but mostly you'll scream."	POS
