At least I'm having FUN while watching the characters getting offed. The jump cut from tanning booths to coffins in FD3 was absolutely hysterical. Less Saw, more FD.

I completely agree, on all counts. The tanning booth was actually quite funny, maybe not so original, or was it? i dont really care i still liked it. The third movie did kind of veer off the path of the first two as it didnt really connect to them in any real way like the second one did with the first one.

i loved the first movie, it was really really good, and kind of put another twist on the horror genre with its "death has a design" angle. the second one was good also, i liked the death scenes in this one, but the ending was a bit crappy..i dont know whether it was because the main heroine went all marter (i have no idea how to spell that word) on us, because she had to kill herself, or if it was because to me, the end deaths were kind of tame...they built everything up at the beginning of the movie and then kind of went flat at the end with the gore. The beginning scene of FD2 was really really good, i thought it was even better then the plane explosion from FD1. They went all gore for the second movie.

The third movie was pretty good. I saw all three movies at the big screen so i got the big effect for all of them and the third one was really good at the theatre. I didnt like the fact that they didnt really connect the characters to the first two movies though, i loved that about the second movie as it keys in with the death design thing. But the fact that the main heroine knows how everyone is going to die (but doesnt figure anyone of the deaths out until AFTER they happen) was pretty cool.

They lacked a bit of imaginiation in the FD3 but i still thought it was cool.

All in all i loved FD, it is a great trilogy. I dont think that they should make anymore (according to the way they did the ending for FD3 the closed the option for another movie) as three is enough, i think anymore movies will ruin the affect they have now. IMO FD rocks!
