Description of Saw II [Blu-ray]:
Saw II brings back many features of the original Saw: elaborate sadistic scenarios designed to "test" the victims' will to live; Tobin Bell as the Machiavellian (yet doomed) serial killer Jigsaw; Shawnee Smith as Amanda, a survivor of one of Jigsaw's "games", forced to play again; Dina Meyer (Starship Troopers), whose role as a detective is considerably expanded; and the stunningly godawful dialogue of screenwriter Leigh Whannel. The set-up this time is even more preposterous than before, as a rough-and-tumble cop named Eric (Donnie Whalberg, Band of Brothers) watches, on video monitors, his son trapped in a house filled with nerve gas and a handful of other victims, all of whom are mysteriously connected. Eric has captured Jigsaw, but the implacable killer refuses to reveal where the cop's son is being held... unless Eric will play by Jigsaw's rules. Fans of Saw will love Saw II, as the tortures are more gruesome than before; viewers who found Saw either detestable or laughable won't like Saw II either, as the characters rarely behave like actual people (even when a moment's explanation would solve a conflict, no one bothers to communicate, even though their lives are on the line). It's a festival of body fluids, agonized grimaces, and shrieks of pain--and if that's your thing, this is your movie. --Bret Fetzer

Saw II [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Want to play a game? Again..
2009-11-30 - This movie had a lot going for it. It also had a lot to live up to. It still had the feel and suspense of the first one. I wish they would have kept Jigsaw in the shadows more. Some of the suspense of the character was taken away from all of the screen time. This movie didn't have the individualized traps like the first one. The group had to take on the challenges together. It was still a good movie, but it didn't have the same amount of intensity the first one did. It tried to create it by using the nerve gas as a ticking time bomb, but the feel of this movie is just not up to the scope of the first one. I didn't care for Doonie Wahlberg's character. He seemed like a jerk, not as good of a character as Detective Tapp in the first one. There's no outside force on these characters like the first one. There is the nerve gas, but you never know how much time they have left. The characters aren't as developed, and they don't seem to grow as the movie unfolds. There are a few interesting traps, but they seem to hate each other instead of Jigsaw. The ending was a little predictable, unlike the first. The addition of the assistant is not my favorite, but it doesn't hurt this movie, it does hurt the movies that follow. Overall a nice sequel, unfortunately the movies will only decline from here.

"The Knowledge Of Death Changes Everything"
2009-11-01 - When it comes to filming sequels there's a strong tendency to proceed with the philosophy "more is better". More gore, more special effects, more characters in jeopardy, etc... In doing so one takes the risk of losing that intangible element that made the first film a success. Well the film 'Saw II' did just that, more of everything. But you know what? It worked beautifully!

'Saw II' was successful in taking all the successful elements from the first film; expanding the cast, improving the effects, intensifying the psychological angst and physical gore while maintaining a strong narrative continuity with the original movie. Even more impressive was the manner in which they were able to have so many new things going on and still add psychological depth and breath to an already great protagonist (Jigsaw played by Tobin Bell).

There are a lot of clever and unexpected twists and turns in this one that really leave an already strong storyline up to many more sequels to come!

Almost forgot, I loved Shawnee Smith in the role of Amanda.

Oh yes...There Will Be Blood

SAWesome !!
2009-09-18 - We are huge horror fans, and if you liked the first one, you will love saw II. When saw one came out in theaters it brought a totally different type of scare to horror fans. It is not just your typical slashers movie that's has been done to death !! no pun intended,, It's mind bending horror you will enjoy!!
I really don't want to say to much.
The Saw Movies are going to be classics!
Jigsaw will be the next Freddy Krueger,
Thanks,

SAW II
2009-06-28 - Look, I know that a lot of people discredit the Saw franchise because a) they can seem to be normal slasher flicks or of the like, b) it is a franchise that seems to be in it for the money, not necessarily the development of the plot. However, if you happen to have a more conservative outlook on crime and punishment, then these movies might be for you, if you do not mind extreme blood and gore that is. However, if you do decide to get these movies, just watch it from the first one, otherwise you kinda kill the thrill, but that's just me.
