Okay, I just got back from seeing Final Destination III. Gore-wise, it was very clever, but not suspenseful as in one and two. Story-wise, Part two was much better developed than Part Three, but Part one is still the best story. Character-wise, Part two hands down is superior to both one and three, but I liked the Part three characters more. Plot-wise, Part two is still the best, as the characters try to figure out how to cheat Death; in Part three, one just waits to see how clever the next gruesome death scene will be: mention is made of cheating Death, but it doesn't drive the plot. And Part four was not tacked into the ending--it was hammered in. But one damn fine movie for the gore-hounds. I give it Three Howls out of Four.

P.S. Did you notice how they managed to sneak Tony Todd into the third part? So, he has been in all three parts now.
