Not Oscar worthy, but definitely believable for what it is. The premonition scene is definitely the best of the franchise and the acting was on par. Which gave a breath of fresh air to the almost stale plot that we all know of. The death scenes were awesome and not too overly fictional, and even managed to throw in a new rule, 'kill or be killed.' This movie, unlike the others (minus the 1st), succeeded in giving character development. But, regardless, I wasn't let down one bit. Yes, I knew who'd die, when they'd die, and how they'd die even before stepping foot into the theater.
It's enough to keep ME, someone who has followed this movie's production for the past year and knew just about everything about the movie going into it, at the edge of my seat. From start to finish, the movie is full of suspense, tension, excitement, and anticipation. I don't want to make this a long review, but I will sum up my thoughts on this movie in one word AMAZING! FD 5 is, IMO, the best installment to the franchise, and in some cases, surpasses the original.
Yes, I'm that big of a fan next to Nightmare on Elm Street, the FD franchise is my favorite. So, I saw FD5 at its midnight release after purchasing my tickets days in advance. I really recommend this movie, but only to those at least knowing what they are getting themselves into. The comedic level should have been toned down for a particular scene (I'm looking at YOU, Issac.) Other than that, the movie was fantastic and an excellent installment into the FD family. Also, some parts of the film were a bit too comedic. The use of CGI blood was a bit more than I wanted, and at some points did look a bit fake. Should it be seen in 3D? The film was shot in 3D and Quale knew when to emphasize the use of it without shoving it in our faces (except for the extra long title sequence, and credits).Īnyways, while I loved this movie and everything about it, it did have a few things about it that underwhelmed me. Steven Quale did wonders with the use of 3D as well. Now I won't spoil anything for anyone, but the ending was EPIC! Words can't describe how amazing it was. I just can't say enough how great this movie is. The death scenes were awesome and not too overly fictional, and even managed to throw in a new rule, 'kill or be killed.'
