This was going to be a humorous note in the “Sequels that should never be made” thread, but then I discovered that they have made a sequel to _Final Destination_ called (with startling originality, _Final Destination 2_. (see the trailer at [Apple’s Trailer Site](http://www.apple.com/trailers/newline/final_destination_2.html) or the [Official Movie Site](http://www.deathiscoming.com/) ) Now I wasn’t surprised when they made a sequel to _The NeverEnding Story_, and in fact I kind of expected it. But a sequel to _Final Destination_??? The original movie was craptacular, lacking only Steven Seagal to make it a perfect ZERO. Was the original movie so profitable as to warrant a sequel? The question I have to ask is, what movie didn’t get made because this one did. ---

Bit of a hijack, but I never saw the irony in a movie called _Neverending Story 2. Of course_ there was a sequel! The story never ends! How can you _not_ make a sequel? If there wasn’t a sequel, the story would have ended after the first one. _That_ would be ironic. Or oxymoronic, at the very least. ---

I enjoyed Final Destination. I would see the sequel. ---

I liked it too, it was one of the few horror movies to have an effect on me afterwards - for the next couple of days I was extra cautious, everything around me seemed like a deathtrap.
