I wanted to walk out on this one...

Rating: 1/10 (1 November 2006)

I went to go see Saw II with my girlfriend last year. We had seen the first Saw together and both thought it was pretty good. I was amazed at the good reviews Saw II got. I have never walked out of the theater in the middle of a movie, but I really wanted to walk out on this one. The only reason I stayed was that my girlfriend wanted to stay. So I had to stay...
Saw II was so lame. First of all, the acting was SO BAD. Really flat boring characters. And nothing made sense. They had a flashlight in the scenes when they didn't need one but as soon as the lights went out they were just standing in the dark...what happened to the flashlight? And the gun behind the door which shoots you in the head when you turn the knob...this only worked because one guy was looking through the peep-hole while another guy turned the knob. Otherwise you could just open the door and a bullet would fly by you about a foot away. And the kid was in in "a safe place"...why didn't the cop say "what do you mean he's in 'a safe place'? isn't he in this booby trapped house?" totally predictable ending! And why didn't anyone think to look at the back of each other's heads to see if there was anything written there? It was the first thing i thought to do when jigsaw's message says "the numbers are in the back of your mind."
I'm going to see Saw III this weekend. Hopefully it will be a lot better than Saw II.
