Overrated and annoying sequel

Rating: 3/10 (3 September 2006)

Saw II is easily the most overrated film of the past years. This film receives so much undeserved praise it isn't funny. People are claiming it to be be better than the first Saw and a brilliant new horror. Well, I didn't even like the first Saw. When I saw this I was kinda impressed and I enjoyed it. But another viewing changed that. Everyone over-acted to the point where it got very annoying. The editing and music hadn't changed. The same flashy MTV style crap as always. This movie was pretty much a poor attempt to shock audiences with "sadistic" gore and language. Sure, it was gory and featured some good special effects and traps, but that's pretty much all that's saving this movie, as it has VERY little going for it.
1½/5.
