The opening setpieces were always so well done in those first three movies
What movies?
Final Destination? Darn I didn't know this place had underage people in it.
Either way though check 1, 2 and 3 out, they're not high brow masterpieces or anything, but decent 2000s blockbusters, especially if you're someone that goes on or around planes, rollercoasters and subways a lot and makes regular visits to the dentist.
2003 was 21 years ago, bub.
Noooo, 20 years ago was the 80s!! /s
Still considered a child in America at 21 I think so there's a that
Quiet you. Don't fill my head with lies!
I'm 19. And I don't watch movies and series at all and am not American, so maybe that's the reason why I haven't seen this before.
Wild. I'm not American but I don't think watching movies and shows is an exclusively American thing.
Well, welcome to the world Gen Alpha, it's a bit shit.
Oh, I know, I wasn't trying to be rude. I didn't want to connect being American an watching movies, I just am not American, and also don't watch movies (Two independent statements). So that second one especially makes me less likely to have seen the movies.
Alsoy eyyyy, I'm not gen alpha! I don't even watch tiktok, I'm just on Lemmy and mastodon...
The first two are worth watching if you want a kinda sorta slasher movie. Not ground breaking like Light House or Vitch, but fun.
Yeah, these movies are the definition of "high concept", like it's an interesting premise like Speed has an interesting premise, it's not meant to be overly complicated or artsy or sophisticated, but at least it's just a kind of neat blockbuster, rather than more capeshit content.
