Took it out.[edit]

I took out part of the description at the top of the page syaing that this movie was the the final part of this series, because this year they are making a 4th Final Destination. 70.90.174.173 (talk) 23:35, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted your edit. That line did not state that it was the last film in the series. It stated that it was the last film in the series distributed by New Line Cinema, which is correct; the fourth film is being distributed by Warner Bros., not New Line. --132 17:48, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Trvivas?[edit]

Why don't we put trivias about the movie? Japee (talk) 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Please see WP:TRIVIA as to why we don't, and shouldn't, have them, except in very rare circumstances (and this is not one of them). --132 16:16, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mistake in Ian's character description[edit]

Ian was not, I repeat NOT "skiped on purpose to cause Wendy's death" - there is no way Death would ever do that! I watched this film time and time again, and I see that the thing about Ian causing Wendy's death is an ASSUMPTION made by Wendy, because she knows that her clue is that she has a "McKinley" shirt - Ian's last name is McKinley, but it is also many other things in the film - the clue points to her being killed by the sign that said McKinely, but Ian inadvertantly stopped her from going there, so Death made the fire works try to kill her, but she moved, and it completly skipped her, so Ian died. Ian was NOT supposed to be there, as he was meant to be killed in the hardware store a long with Erin. He was not skipped on purpose, why would Death deliberatly ruin its own design? Who ever is admin or whatever the term is for Wiki please edit this now, it is a very comon mistake, and I understand, but it creates the wrong impression of the film. MJN SEIFER (talk) 22:52, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I so agree with you there. It WAS an assumption of Wendy's i mean the whole town was named McKinley but she just assumed that Ian was the cause of her death. He wasn't skipped on purpose he was meant to die at the hardware store but it just so happens that Wendy intervened, saving him. But i'm not so sure i agree with the part that you wrote about the sign being the original cause of Wendy's death because the sign had those pointy banner things just like in Ian's picture meaning that the sign was meant to kill him not Wendy. Death attempted to kill her with the fireworks but she moved like you said and Death just restarted his list again killing Ian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.110.77.186 (talk) 22:19, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could someone please rewrite this[edit]

The plot section is terrible. Could someone with better English skills please rewrite it. I don't actually like the film enough to do it myself but someone who can write properly and likes the film must be able to do a better job. 81.108.171.254 (talk) 21:33, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please modify the Character Portion[edit]

Someone please have the Characters: portion in the table edited. AxiumX (talk) 14:55, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox - Starring Field[edit]

User:76.237.15.12 has been editing the infobox Starring field to reflect actors pictured on the poster rather than in the associated credits. Consensus does not support this change. I have pointed the IP to the discussion and they have continued making this change. I have given them an edit-warring advisory and will report them if they continue to make this change without additional discussion. Additional opinions are welcome. Doniago (talk) 14:47, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The "Starring" field is supposed to be limited, so I agree with having just the two names in the field. The rest of the actors and their roles are easily listed in the "Cast" section. Erik (talk | contribs) 14:57, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Precisely. The Starring field should be very modest, with the full detail in the main body of the article. Varlaam (talk) 06:25, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FIX ARTICLE[edit]

somebody got on here on re-wrote the article. can someone fix it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lamzilla666 (talk • contribs) 23:35, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed an error in the plot summary[edit]

It said "Five years later, the three survivors cross paths aboard a subway train." It is in fact 5 months later, as the subtitle that comes up states clearly "Five Months Later". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mannike54 (talk • contribs) 16:38, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Archived sources[edit]

Just wanted to let everyone know that all 60 existing references in the article are archived. If you happen to find one that's dead and a bot hasn't replaced it yet you can always find it on WaybackMachine. PanagiotisZois (talk) 13:09, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I also archived the Wikipedia article itself. Eh, what the hell, just in case. PanagiotisZois (talk) 19:05, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Finally added the archives to every article. God, that was tiring. PanagiotisZois (talk) 23:50, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mixed reviews[edit]

I think overall critical reactions such as this should be independently referenced. MOS:FILM#Critical response notes that "The overall critical response to a film should be supported by attributions to reliable sources." My reading of that is that the sentence summarizing the critical response should be removed unless a reliable source can be provided that specifically states what the overall response was. If sources disagree on that reponse, let them speak for themselves rather than including a summary statement. To do otherwise would be synthesis. Bluesphere 04:16, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Numerous other films like Avengers: Age of Ultron, Scream and Drive state in the lead section whether the film's received positive, negative or mixed reviews. In the case of FD3, the Metacritic score literally says "mixed or average reviews"; the Rotten Tomatoes score isn't that much different either being 43% to MC's 41/100. PanagiotisZois (talk) 11:26, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Accolades[edit]

I'd just convert the table into prose since it's not long enough to justify a table; Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Film#Accolades is pretty clear about this. SLIGHTLYmad 14:01, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
