I am a big fan of the Final Destination series and 5 is another steady instalment to the series that was suppose to have ended with the previous film 'The Final Destination' - which will no doubt be re-named in up and coming box sets as FD4.
5 takes the usual format and strips away the whole 'lets try and figure out why we survived and why we are all dying' aspect with Candyman popping up and telling our soon-to-be-deceased protagonists what the deal is. This leaves the film with more time to off teenagers but actually seems to slow the proceedings a little before turning into a more standard slasher for a good 15 minutes or so before the climax.
And what an end sequence it is! Probably the best ending to any FD movie (including the original I'd say).
Oh and the best death sequence... It has to be the gymnasium death scene - totally and utterly ridiculous but it had me in stitches.
