Saw II (2005) is of course the sequel to the famous Saw (2004). This sequel didn't really impress me all that much. I'll start with what I didn't really care for in the movie. One of the negatives about the movie is some of the cast members acting ability. Tobin Bell and Donnie Wahlberg both turn in good performances, but to be honest, the other actors just didn't really sell me on their performances or pull me into it the movie more. Another one of the negatives is that the movie as a whole isn't all that interesting. The first Saw movie is undoubtedly the best in the series, and it surpasses this second installment. To be completely honest, if you watch Saw for the traps, then you probably won't like this one, the jigsaw traps aren't that interesting or creative at all. The characters, except for Detective Matthews (Donnie Wahlberg) and his teenage son, don't have much depth at all, which made me not really care about them very much. The writing is slightly below average. So all in all, Saw II gets a 4/10, just not a very entertaining film. I don't even think fans of the Saw films would enjoy it very much.

Saw was a big hit back in the year of 2004,so big,that even before the film was released some dude Darren something something was making Saw II,which is about another group of guilty people who've done guilty things as they desperately try to get out of Jigsaw's twisted games. So,when I saw Saw II,which was'int too long really ago,even though I saw all the others,I did'int think too much of it and I still don't. Saw II is nothing really great,in fact,I don't really see why people are saying its the best in the franchise,like sure,its got some really fun traps and some really cool characters,but I personally felt it was just another excuse to make another money making sequel,BUT,I don't actually think Darren wanted to make this actually crap,I could see some cool things in Saw II that like the first film were really cool,as,like I said,the traps..but,this film is OK. Saw II's OK everybody!

I'm quite a horror film junkie and especially love the ones with lots of gore. Most horror films that have been suggested to me for their gore have been disappointing, however Saw 2 was one of the few that met my expectations if not exceeded them. The gore was brilliantly realistic without taking your attention from the plot, which is also amazing. Twists and turns that you wouldn't expect at all while perched on the edge of your seat.

Disappointing sequel to the surprisingly quality first film. "Saw" had good plotting and a solid mystery, along with a lot of memorably grizzly horror. This sequel instead focuses primarily on the grizzly horror (the pit of dirty drug needles is by far the film's most memorable moment and unsettling) and really doesn't have much of a story outside of how-are-these-people-going-escape-Jigsaw's-deadly-traps? The film does offer one unexpected twist at the end, which led to several more sequels, but for the most part, this film set the formula for the many sequels, which was simply a new set of victims and anew set of overly elaborate traps. That was enough to hold my interest, but it's not really enough to call this a good horror film. Donnie Wahlberg, Beverley Mitchell, Shawnee Smith, Tobin Bell, Glenn Plummer, and Dina Meyer provide the solid cast.
