Wow

Rating: 3/10 (30 April 2006)

I saw the first movie after hearing it was good, I thought it was horrible. Then the person who watched it with me(who also thought it was lame) watched Saw II and said "It was really good." I found that hard to believe and decided to give it a go.
I now regret that.
The movie tries to be preachy and philosophical, while trying to give reason to why the Jigsaw Killer(a name that makes me laugh) 'tests' people. Since the killer has Cancer and now values life, hes decided to make other people value their life by putting them in almost impossible situations. The movie is a big contradiction, it tries to be deep, but comes off as random incoherent ramblings of an omnipotent killer. The movies not smart, it has a twist, but one that you could've never guessed. The 'gore' was on the light side too, even though the previews would like you to think other-wise. The acting was shoddy, over acting, plus the scriptwriter seemed the think doing something like "Where...is...THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!" comes off as realistically emotional. I saw someone on the board claim the movie is 'smart' for a horror movie, its not. Don't let the deep voiced antagonist, whose always about 8 steps ahead of everyone, Yoda-like speeches fool you.
