Final Destination Bloodlines has the most positive reviews in the series, earning a very impressive 93% Rotten Tomatoes score despite critics previously deriding the series. Debuting in 2000, Final Destination's creative approach to gruesome kills quickly made it one of the most popular new horror franchises of the 21st century. Despite the commercial success of every entry in the series, critics were largely unsupportive of the franchise — with only one of the previous five films earning "fresh" status among the critical consensus.
