Unimpressive, dull, repetetive, and predictable to the core; "Saw II" is a flawed game.

*1/2 out of **** "Saw II" is a sequel that really seems to make you appreciate whatever the original had to offer regardless of whether you actually liked it or not. "Saw", in my opinion, was a well constructed thriller. It placed two men in a sticky situation while in a tight space. What worked about it was that it was a bloody good time, packed with more thrills than I originally was led to expect. "Saw II", however, it a bloody disappointment. … more

Rule 1 of the Game: Listen To Jigsaw. Always.

Oh SAW movie franchise, why are you addicting? I think this may be my favorite out of all the SAW movies. I am not going to go into the plot because oh my is it complicated. But I will go into how this movie isn't just a horror movie but could also be viewed as a human experiment. What amazes me is how STUPID people can be. Jigsaw repeatedly gives "clues" to the people he's playing a game with and yet they keep … more

Saw II

Pros: Tobin Bell, strange concept Cons: some side characters overblown The Bottom Line: "Yes, that line forms on the right, babe Now that Macky’s back in town … " ~Kurt Weill/E. Bertolt Brecht/Marc Blitzstein I admit I was intrigued with the original, Saw, but like many of these types of movies, the sheep following after aren’t nearly as bad as the original black sheep. I … more

Oh yes there will be blood.

Detective Mathews (Donnie Wahlberg) is a hard edge cop who has two things on his mind. His son Daniel (Erik Knudsen) and the Jigsaw killer, whom he has a personal vendetta against. Matthews, his fellow detective Allison (Dina Meyer) and the SWAT team leader Rigg (Lyriq Bent) have now cornered "Jigsaw" aka John Kramer (Tobin Bell). During the raid upon his compound, three SWAT team members are severally maimed. Matthews confronts the man called "Jigsaw" … more

I want to play a game. Jigsaw is back, using a bigger trap and extracting more blood than ever!

As true to the horror genre as the first 'SAW', 'SAW II' brings us back to the bloody depths of Jigsaw's intriguing games and puzzles, where blood is the price you pay for not playing by the rules. I am as pleased with this sequel as I was with the original, bringing blood and horror back to horror where it belongs. Hopefully, 'SAW III' will rise from the ashes of this grisly phoenix to entertain horror aficionados again. Detective Eric Matthews has cornered and caught John … more

Not as bad as the first, but still pretty bad

Pros: Neat gore factor and imagination, mood and tone Cons: Everything else. The Bottom Line: A middling gore-fest. If that is your thing, then you'll like it, otherwise . . . find something else. Plot Details: This opinion reveals major details about the movie''s plot. I tend to avoid reviewing anything that has more than 10 reviews when I pull it up. Sometimes, however, it is a good … more

I Thought It Was A Great Sequel

What makes saw scarier and a better film than what's being released today is that it threatens more than your body; it threatens your mind too. What seems to scare people more than fake scary movies or make believe characters are people that are real and stories that feel even realer. In Saw it feels more possible for this to be done and this creates more fear and more thinking than you would get from a traditional scary movie. If you ask me Saw 2 is just as good as the first with the same intelligent … more
