Not as fabulous as the first one

Rating: 6/10 (23 June 2006)

A group of strangers get trapped together in a room and have to find a way out before they get killed by the gas Jigsaw has filled the room with.
First of all I want to say that I had high expectations for this movie since I loved Saw so much. I saw the sequel last night, and I had mixed feelings about it after seeing it. I still think that the first Saw is better because of its magic and the performance of Johns' voice. The second movie I kind of knew what was going to happen, cause John wants to kill these person of the same reason as the first Saw. He wants them to find out how much they appreciate their lives. I felt like there was something missing when I was watching the sequel. It didn't have the same magic effect of suspense and shock as the first one. And Jigsaw was suddenly not so scary anymore. Just a poor guy in a chair, waiting to die. In the first movie he was so brutal, clever and many twists and turns with a brilliant ending I loved so much -- but all of that was like gone when I saw the sequel. I guess I got kind of disappointed. It just didn't have the same 'charm' but the conversation between Jigsaw and Matthews were unforgettable.
