The Shocking Sequel...

Rating: 7/10 (10 June 2006)

Saw was already a movie with a deep, terrific plot. The sequel contained the same, although it just isn't as great as the first one. First off, there are much more people locked inside the trap. Therefore, if one gets angry or upset, they can kill each other, like Xavier did. Chaos and fights will start between people, unlike the first one where there were only an amount of two, so if one dies the other one will most likely go too. Torture scenes were just as brutal and left you with eyes opened wide enough to make your eyes dry up. Such as Amanda jumping into a pool of syringes, Obi being cooked up in an oven.
Parts of the movie weren't as confusing and mind boggling anymore. I understand that "The Devil May help You" for Obi, but it's kind of obvious. Also, the first one tells the story of each person and WHY they are in the trap and HOW they aren't appreciating their lives. This one only explains probably one or two.
I'd give props to the ending, because it was just a complete shock to me. I couldn't believe the fact that Amanda was faking the whole time and how she was actually helping Jigsaw, and that the surveillance camera was set 2 hours back already. As Jigsaw said, if Eric Matthews would have listened, his son is SAFE. Instead, he didn't listen, and he ended up dead, when his son was in a safe next to him.
Overall, this movie was pretty good, just wasn't AS good as the first one. I would watch it again, but it wouldn't give me much interest after a while since it's pretty shady and dull.
