saw II

Post by Farrel »

loved it. not as great as the first, but great nonetheless. as with most sequels, you should really see the first film before this one.

8/10

Either you are retarded, or you saw the wrong movie.

I thought this one was better then the first to be honest.

The acting from the two main characters in the first was absolutely terrible and took a lot away from the movie in my opinion. The second one wasn't packed with great actors or anything, but I thought they were a far cry better. They also managed to do something with the plot that wasnt just the first movie recycled.

I am really interested in the previews ! There were previews for final destination 3, underworld 2, and another scary one I cant remember that all looked very good.

No, it appears you can't read you fucking idiot.

lets break the sentence down into two parts

IF it isnt as good as the first
(part 1 and not the focus of what i was talking about)

And the first sucked (part 2, which i was focusing on, because to think the movie sucked would mean you have no taste in movies, namely horror movies at all)


So maybe next time before you make a pathetic attempt at making me look stupid you should make sure you know what you are talking about you fucking retard.

you really are fucking stupid aren't you?

i would have typed out a response, but for what reason? your simple ass can't grasp the concept of 'opinion', or follow a simple thread with all of 3 posts (two of which made sense). read the original post, then siji's comment. perhaps you should be flaming someone else.

i dont need to make you look stupid, you do that well enough on your own. btw, tell your girlfriend i said hi.

No opinion needed. Saw sucked. It's a matter of fact. There was absolutely nothing interesting or scary in that movie. I've seen scarier horror at a Chuck E Cheese birthday party.

The previews of #2 however, look better. It's possible it's a good movie, but the first will always suck.

you can't really tell someone their opinion is wrong, you can just disagree with it.
I thought the first Saw was innovative in that it took a common horror movie theme and twisted it -- the killer didn't really murder, but made his victims kill themselves (a form of murder I guess but whatever) I can't think of any other horror movie that has taken that route, and for that I thought it was interesting

I was assuming that Siji was referencing the first post which said it wasn't as good as the first...

I was thinking the idea may have come from the end of "Seven"...you know, with Spacey and Pitt.

anyway, while the first's acting wasnt as decent (granted it wasnt rehearsed), the 2nd seemed like it lacked the character development of the first, to the exception of john.
[Show]
granted there were many more characters, or fillers, for the game which lead to creating uncreative death-scenes and irrational conflict (ex. xavier's rage).

and dont get me wrong, I love the concept behind both movies, but why the hell would jigsaw and amanda go through so much to get one man?

and amanda just didnt have that spark john did when he slammed the door. the cop should have demanded an encore.
and for those who wanted to see the FD3 trailer again, you can find it <a href="http://fd3movie.com/">here on their site</a>.

If you believe it sucked, please post something similar in the genre that you consider good so we can have a comparison of your taste in this type of film. I need to know your basis for ranking it as a sucky movie.

This is much like the negative opinions posted in the music forum. If you hate something, fine. But instead of just stating the obvious fact you hate something, explain your rational. That would actually promote communication and discussion instead of turning into flames and insults. In short, posts like yours contribute nothing to a community board.

Here's the cover of the Saw comics series that started last month. Pretty graphic for a comic:

Only thing I didn't like about the first one, was the Doctor who sawed his foot off and then done some horrible over acting..."I'll...be...back...for...you.." whatever. That part could have been better, but over all my opinion is that the movie wasn't total shit. Been wanting to see Saw 2, maybe I'll put that on my agenda for tomorrow night. :D

Saw 2 was ok, just like the first one. Good direction, lighting, sets and gore--top notch film crew. :) The only issue I saw was that it seems they ran out of ideas of how to end it so used one of their regular devices to explain everything to the viewer at the end. Granted, it can be a useful device to get the "ohhhh, so thaaat's how they did it!" effect.

That said, I knew it was not going to be any sort of masterpiece, so left the theater with no real complaints, just like the first movie. :)

6/10 for good bloody fun and many moments of fingers-on-chalkboard gore.

I prefered Saw 2 over the original. Though the mask amanda wears is the first one is possibly one of the coolest looking devices I have yet to see in a movie.
