let's go back to where we started

damn, and yes damn, I love this. We are still left with a feeling that we don't know who Jigsaw really is. not this cancer patient who was unable to defend himself against an angry cop. this same person who escaped and ran and fled so healthily in the 1st movie.
I don't see why we couldn't have Danny Glover (even in a cameo) to provide some continuity with movie number 1. Mr Wahlberg was so cro-magnon looking! I thought he was wearing some sort of weird special effects make-up appliance on his forehead.
Had he over trimmed his eye-brows? In certain scenes I couldn't stop watching them change from shot to shot. He looked like a damn caveman! I thought he was the missing link in a few scenes.
Wahlberg is a bad cop gone worse. The opening scene grabs you into Jigsaw and his world and won't let you go until the end credits roll to let you go. the way the movie returns to the scene of the 1st film is very nice indeed.
This killer invisible gas that Jigsaw describes sounds like the Ebola Virus. This guy is a cancer patient who has gone through a car crash and being impaled. Where did he get a nerve agent like that? It's not exactly a thing you can just pop off down to the chemists for is it? Anyway. Some of the puzzles and traps are really crappy. Like the "X marks the spot" garbage. Also the key in the syringes. The fact that they don't even find the hole until they have virtually no time left. We really should have been given a chance to find out what was behind that door. Did no-one think of entering rooms through walls? The spiky baseball bat would have helped there. The idea of the video feed not being live was fun.
Anyway, this was like Cube and Cube 2, It left me wanting to know when the next one is out.
Loved it.
