Good but not better than the first

Rating: 7/10 (2 June 2007)

this movie is without a doubt one of the better sequels to come out in a long time, especially for a horror movie. While the saw movies all seem like the same movie this sequel tries new ideas and takes the overall story arch into a new direction with the introduction of carriers who don't turn into rage fiends and the hope for a cure. while the first film was more of a character film and a thriller this one is a horror movie with no real main character like Jim to follow. it has several different characters that all end up together. personally i liked the first film much better, it was more interesting and felt like a complete story, where as this sequel is all about upping the action and violence and yes like almost every other horror movie coming out lately it doesn't really have an ending. loved the music though, it just seems like when all is said and done nothing anyone does through out this movie amounts to anything unless they make another one. Also I'm still unsure how i feel about the dads storyline. i liked it until the twist half way through, then i thought it was kinda clichéd and uninteresting.
