saw 2 not as good as the first one

Rating: 7/10 (4 December 2005)

When i heard that Saw would have a sequel i was very happy awaiting another masterpiece to come to the world.And i had solid reasons. Saw was one of the best thrillers i had ever seen.The strongest feature of that movie was its brilliant plot but it had many other advantages, too. Is saw 2 going to be better or as usually happens worse than the first part?Definitely it is not a bad sequel. Actually it is pretty damn good.It is scary. It has a decent plot.Some good actors.A lot of suspense and extreme situations that will definitely catch your attention. That was not the kind of movie i expected, though.The first one was very realistic with few exceptions. The second is far more unrealistic in many different aspects of the plot. And in addition it contains some even fantastic elements.And the blood is too much as well. There are new shocking ways of dying but not as terrifying as those unforgettable moments from the first one. My basic point is that the second film has gone into the wrong direction. Everything that was a major advantage of SAW 1 is somehow distorted in the second part.The stress is too much on the physical rather than the emotional and psychological state of the characters. The second part i not as intelligent as the first one.It is pretty much a horror movie. It is a little bit elementary. Still it is one of the best movies i have seen recently and it is worth watching. But when you have seen a masterpiece usually you expect more from the sequel. That is the horrible destiny of the sequels. They always bear the weight of fans'expectations. Though this movie is not my type it is good.I have one last thing to say: do not make more saw sequels, please.It will be too much of a distortion, i believe!
