I'm not another 16 year old teenie bopper

Rating: 1/10 (21 November 2006)

Okay, let me first say, I'm 14. I watched Saw 2 when I was 13 (hadn't seen original Saw before, so I didn't know what to expect, only saw... well... Saw recently.) I was pretty insulted while reading the negative reviews on this. I am categorised as the "MTV generation". PAH. I'm not a big fan of "horror" movies. I think the first "gore" one I watched was Cabin Fever when I was 11/12 (dear God, why did I waste my time?) and it was rubbish, to put it bluntly. So like I said, I wouldn't usually watch these sort of films - I got scared after watching The Others (don't laugh)! But anyway, back to Saw. Are we meant to be stupid or something to really connect with this trash? ALL the characters were stupid... from what I can remember, the first in the house to die was the idiot who decided to peer out of the keyhole(?) and got shot there and then. Then we have that Obi guy (Gollum lookalike, seriously) who must have thought, "A big giant oven? I'm surrounded by criminal strangers, but no worries, I'll just climb in here and have a pull on that rope that's dangling there... NOTHING could go wrong." Ah, and we have the petty blondie who ends up spazzing over the poison (actually made me laugh), that girl who shoved her hand up through glass to get the antidote (if she was clever enough, she might have noticed that there was in fact a way to get the antidote without even touching the glass). So her wrist has been sliced open, and she thinks "Right, well, I better stick the other one up there too," and, oh look, we've got ourselves in a right little mess, haven't we, dear? Aaaanddd.... oh yeah, the black guy who gets whacked on the head by that spiked axe, the butch guy who actually slices off his skin to see a bunch of numbers that, in the end, don't help him at all, since the boy cuts up his throat a bit.
Can I just say, wouldn't old Jiggy be a bit peeved off if his assistant ended up saving the boy used to get back at the dad? The dad gets locked in that bathroom, why not just have used him from the beginning? It could have been more interesting when the criminals found out he was the copper who put them behind bars? Ha. Don't waste your time.
