opium for the people

Rating: 1/10 (30 December 2005)

first off id like to say this movie was crap, no matter how many people tell me it was good i will not listen because they don't see the big point. what was in the first saw, the characterization and suspense is thrown out the window for this sequel to cash in on money. this movie also had uninspired deaths, except for the exception of the razorblades wrist trap. don't tell me the first trap was original either, it was basically the same thing that Amanda had to go through in the first movie but its now an iron maiden. what they did with the character of jigsaw is insulting, first off jigsaw doesn't put innocents into his game risk having them killed, and his plan is to flawed in the first place. Beverley Mitchell's character dies before anyone else of the poisoning but is this explained, no. it doesn't even explain why shes there. all the people playing jigsaws little game are there because they were convicted. but thats all, no back story, characterization, these people are 2-D. also when they discover the room from the first saw movie, it makes no sense. considering the environment and placement of that place in the original saw its like a bad suspense cliché. also the ending is uninspired. first off what if when the detective that beats jigsaw up while trying to get information knocked jigsaw out and was unable to fall for jigsaws trap, its to sloppy. not the jigsaw from the first saw at all. its insulting when they change the murder from a previous horror movie into something it isn't in the sequel. they insulted jigsaw with this change in character and sloppiness. at the end it turns out Amanda was in the bathtub in the room from saw 1 and it was all a video recording, wow what a nut breaking surprise (for those of you who don't know that was sarcasm your the perfect example for the simple minded fools who liked this.) Amanda injects the detective with a poison and kills him, no game! jigsaw doesn't kill people he makes them kill themselves but injecting the detective with the poison was the last straw.. if you like cliché thriller suspense movie then this movie is for you, and id suggest to heighten your tastes. if you like mindless violence that is in this movie, then go get a movie with better violence, not this cheep cliché killings, id recommend Dead Alive by peter Jackson. now I'm concluding this, and as some may have noticed this review is all over the place, i did this to make it just like the movie, all over the place. now if you enjoyed this movie i got one thing to say to those people.......baa baa. opium for the people little sheep.
