Saw 2.0

JazmenFlowers · #1 10-29-2005, 02:00 PM

So, I went to see this last night and I have to say I enjoyed it. In fact, I'd say I like it better than the original. There were lots of surprises that even I didn't pick up on. Of course, there was a little cheese factor and some "oh, whatever" parts, but for the most part it was quite enjoyable. And Mr. Wahlberg impressed me as well...

Wow, that surprises me. I thought it was a general rule that sequels never hold up to the original. And seeing I loved Saw, I was afraid that Saw 2 would be no exception to the rule. But hearing this, I might be wrong. Can't wait to see it now.

one of the reasons I liked it better than the original is because it seemed to flow more easily between scenes. the camera work in the first 30-45 mins does leave a little something to be desired. I like the storyline, for the most part and the "traps" were seemingly creative.

I just saw it with a few friends and it blew the first one away, especially in the acting department (thankfully). I must say, though, it was ****ing brutal. B-R-U-T-A-L. Gory as hell and stomach-churning quite often. There is one scene in particular about halfway through that I could not handle. It has to be one of the most horrifying scenes I've ever seen in a movie and I doubt anyone who watches it won't be stunned and horrified.

I never saw the ending coming, either. A much better "twist" than the ending to the first. And it looks darn good for a low-budget horror movie.

The first came to a screeching halt as soon as it left the room the two men were trapped in. What I liked about the sequel was that the scenes outside the house were almost as suspenseful as the scenes inside the house. Of course, the entire premise is utterly ridiculous and would be laughable if you weren't so preoccupied with trying not to piss your pants and shielding your eyes from the disgusting and perverted things playing on the screen. The makers of this one are some scuzzy mother****ers.
