So VERY disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (30 April 2006)

Having just seen the original Saw (and loving it), I was thrilled to find SawII in the OnDemand listings. Most of the reviewers felt it was a worthy sequel. WRONG. The opening sequence with the death mask started things off with a bang & I couldn't wait for what was to come. Wait I did. For naught. Too much time spent talking to boring Jigsaw, too many characters you don't care about, too few horrifying dilemmas. etc. The Unexpected "twist" others have referred to WAS unexpected, but only because it was so juvenile. As good as the original Saw was, you'll be tempted to see SawII. Sorry, it'll just remind you how good the 1st one was & make you wish you'd watched it again, instead.
