WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
TheMarwood Music composer John Ottman and editor for Bryan Singer films, tries his hand at directing and does a reasonable job with this entertaining derivative meta slasher. The slashings and goings on take place at the most prestigious and unrealistic film school imaginable and a fencing masked killer is wiping out one film student after another. The whole film is exceptionally dumb and doesn't really have anything to do with urban legends, with the exception of a tacked on waking up in a bathtub missing a kidney scene, but Jennifer Morrison is cute and does a good job with this material. None of the deaths are memorable, but the film has a cheesy playful side that knows it's B material and Ottman runs with it.
atinder Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000) I not seen this movie for years, i can't not I how felt about it when i first watch it.This movie is not as good as the first one but it no were near as bad as 3rd movie in series, which i really hate.This movie did start of really good and must say first death scenes in the movie was really good and creative as the movie goes on the deaths scene a little tame and boring. So did the rest of the movie felt a bit tame as well, nothing really got me into the movie at all and normal I love guessing who the killer going to be but this movie didn't even bother, i didn't really care who it was or about anyone in this movie.I didn't really like who the killer turned out to be at all but I really enjoyed the very last scene of the movie, which I thought was great way to end this movie.5 out of 10 (only because of the last scene of the movie).
FlashCallahan Studying at Alpine University, Amy Mayfield seeks help, especially from the late Travis Stark's twin brother Trevor Stark.She needs help to complete her thesis on Pendleton's 'urban legends' theme for Professor Solomon's film class.After the volunteers fall victim one by one to new urban legend-copycat-killings, both desperately dig for the truth to save themselves and hopefully their friends, all suspect as well as staff...Did we need a sequel to the original? I don't think so.But, even though it'ss one of the most pointless horrors going, it's really good for a comedy.devoid of any scares or ability have any element of fear in the film, we have to rely on the (some) now famous faces to provide something else other than scares. And they sort of give us what we want.The main story is like some watered down version of Scream 3 (a film that isn't very good either). Now while that movie takes itself very seriously, this thankfully doesn't.I don't know whether it was the makers intentions, but everybody has an 'evil' look about them during one scene in the film. It happens that much, that you really have no idea who the killer is until the big reveal at the end.So all in all, as a horror movie, it stinks, as a sequel, it stinks.As a diverting piece of humour it works, and for some reason, it's ever so surreal.
bh_tafe3 While I won't dispute for a second that Urban Legends: Final Cut is a poor man's version of the first film, it's nowhere near as bad as some seem to think it is.I'll start on the poor man's comment and work my way through. In place of Joshua Jackson we have Joey Lawrence. In place of Freddy Krueger himself Robert Englund we have Hart Bochner, who played that cocaine sniffing conductor of immense enmity Ellis in Die Hard. In place of Tara Reid we have a then unknown (but undeniably attractive) Eva Mendes (playing a lesbian of course). And in place of Alicia Witt we have Jennifer Morrison (who has played a Doctor on House since 2005). A decade later that's a good trade, but it wasn't in 2000 when this was made. And in place of a University campus, we have a film school.The story: film student Amy Mayfield goes to one of her lecturers with a great idea for a film: she wants to make a movie based on Urban Legends. No sooner has she started filming than everyone involved in the movie starts to get killed off. Adding to Amy's anxiety is the appearance of Travis Stark, twin brother of the recently deceased Trevor Stark, who is determined to prove that his brother didn't kill himself? Could the solution to both their problems be linked? Will they need to jump into bed together to find the answer? All these questions are answered by film's end. Sadly, for most of the audience, all these questions are answered before they've really been asked.The acting: isn't horrendous. THat's about all I can say. Mendes and Davis (who plays the Trevor/ Travis twin) are awkward in some scenes. Bochner and Morrison are actually pretty decent. Everyone else does what they are paid to do. On a side note, I never want to see Jessica Caulfiell in a movie again. Her worst scenes in this come in the first few minutes where she is purposely putting in a poor performance, but her voice and mannerisms. My goodness.The kills: the kills aren't bad to be honest. The kills and their reveals are a big strength of the movie and the main reason I think it's a little under rated. The resolution is nice, but most of what comes after hurts much of what came before.Overall: i'd say this is an average movie. Not good, not terrible. Enjoyable if in the right mood and certainly not offensive. Can't see where all the negativity comes from really.
