Delighted to see a sequel that is better than the first

Rating: 9/10 (31 October 2005)

I said it, "Saw II is better than the first Saw." The reason is simple. The first Saw had unexplainable logic flaws in the characters, while Saw II is nearly perfectly constructed and gives the audience just enough information for them to answer their own questions. For those of you that don't get it, try looking at the film as one long game that jigsaw plays with detective Matthews. that is the heart of the movie, everything else (people in the house getting killed off) that was all supporting material. The turning point in the movie is when Det. Matthews resorts to physical violence and threats and completely pummels jigsaw. That is the point at which he lost the game because he had broken his agreement to just sit and talk until the time ran out. The explanation at the end tied everything together very nicely. I was amazed that the film was written so well, and if the creators continue to be this clever, then I can not wait for the third movie.
how refreshing!!!
