The puzzles continue

If you saw part one then you knew to expect more labyrinths and death traps for unsuspecting civilians. My sole interest in seeing Saw 2 was to find out if they would catch that sick, self-righteous S.O.B. who kept putting people in these traps. Well, you had to know that catching him wouldn't be easy and it would make for some excellent drama. I give this movie credit for separating itself a bit from part one. I had a big problem with Jigsaw and his traps. I didn't have a problem with him being a nut job with the brilliance enough to set such elaborate and deadly traps, I had a problem with him being an engineer, medical scientist, AS WELL as a psychology expert so as to know exactly what people would do in certain situations. I generally have a problem with movies that have a genius that sets up traps that rely on people doing precisely what they predicted they would do. People are not machines, they are human hence there are too many variables, no matter how many psychology classes you have taken you can never predict exactly what a person is going to do.
