10 Movies That Pissed You Off Straight Away
5. The Underwhelming Opening Disaster - Final Destination 3
Say what you will about the first two Final Destination movies, but they absolutely kicked off with tantalising opening catastrophes - a devastating plane crash and brutally dynamic highway pile-up respectively.
Final Destination 2's car wreck remains arguably the highlight of the entire series - a Rube Goldberg-style smattering of twisted metal, broken bodies, and yes, a giant free-falling log.
The third film had a lot to live up to with its opening sequence, then, and setting it on a doomed rollercoaster certainly had plenty of potential, which was sadly entirely squandered.
Even if you can accept Final Destination 3's painfully long-winded setup, the rollercoaster accident itself a mess of awfully goofy CGI and mostly unremarkable deaths, which can't even begin to hold a candle to the creativity and sharp execution of the second film's cataclysm.
It at least ensured expectations were lowered for the rest of the movie which, fittingly, is a good deal worse than its predecessors, despite a couple of decent kills.
