Is how they pretty much show you how each character is going to die via yearbook photos.The final destination movies where really big on suspense and keeping you in the dark about each of the characters deaths;for example terry's death from the first movie was shocking seeing it for the first time because you never saw it coming and you didn't know who was going to die next or how, there were signs and clues about the characters deaths that you didn't pick up the first time and you gotta watch it again to see like for example back to terry I didn't really pay attention to the picture of the bus that was behind her before and after the plane crash the first time around.And that's what made the first two films interesting with their level of suspense and subtlety.I know this film was trying to have some sort of theme but it just kills the suspense when you have the signs and clues spoon fed to you and it really doesn't work.

The idea is you're supposed to work it out from the photo. It's not that obvious how they're going to die from the photos alone, so there's still thought in there. They showed the wrong picture for Frankie, and got the meaning wrong for other photographs such as Kevin's.

Also, there are still the other hints that you have to watch the movie again to see, and in some cases even the photos do that.

But still, I would rather go back and look for clues myself instead of having pictures help me find out.It makes for greater suspense.

You still can, the pictures were just one way to find clues.

If anything, the photos showing the deaths what was gave this sequel its own story and more interesting. I thought the main problem would be how people would freak out about Frankie's camera "being the cause of the crash"
