Decent next part

Rating: 7/10 (2 November 2005)

This part 2 of Saw shows how hard it is to top or to even come close to a first movie which had a great climax in the end. In my opinion saw 1 gave the same stunned feeling the climax of the usual suspects gave.
In part 2 most of the stuff that made part 1 very good is there. We have the deaths with the first being the very nasty best, we have jigsaw who is a little sicker then last time around.. his physical health that is not his mental health and the all over feeling is all the same as in 1.
And perhaps that is the problem because you keep expecting the same climax as 1 gave you and that is not going to happen. The payoff in the end is not a surprise and the events leading to it in the house feel like they tried to copy the feeling of the cube movies.
So all in all it is still better as most of the crap other. However since part 1 was so good it just cant live up.
