Saw II
So, the other day I went to see Saw II with Greg, Chris and Alex. The origanal Saw is proabably my favorite horror movie. I mean, I havn't seen all that many horror movies, so I'm sure that there are far better movies, but I don't care. My buddy David, on the other hand, lives his life watching horror movies, and even he considers it one of his favorites.. so it must be good. Besides, he hates everything. =P Anyway, What I really liked about it was the end. The ending of Saw is one of the most exciting, craziest and out of nowhere things I've ever seen in a movie. Ever. You think you've got it all figured out and BOOM. They slap ya in the face and are like, "Bitch, no. You know nothing."
Going into Saw II, I was 100% positive it couldn't even live up to the original.
Well, I was way off. Even though it may not surpass the original, it is definately on par with it. One thing is for sure, it definately has a much faster pace to it and is alot more exciting at times. It even grosses you out a hell of alot more. I don't want to ruin anything, but there were times where a pushed myself against my seat cringing. Oh yeah, it got pretty grusome at times.
I mean, even though it's more exciting, more grusome and all that stuff. It does not have the heart the original had. You had more to expect after seeing the first. I don't know how to explain it, but the way they went about it was alittle too different from the original. Not a bad thing, but because of it, it can't beat Saw. Maybe it was the over abundence of characters (Honestly, what was the purpose of convulsing girl. All she did was cower in the corner.) I don't know. It doesn't matter, it was still an overall kickass movie.. it's just not better than the first. Maybe as good.. but not better.
But, like the first, what really made me love it was of course, the ending. Maybe not a better ending, but it was even more unexpecting. There's a certain part where I was just like, "No way.. that's impossible" and BOOM. They slap you in the face again and are like "We told you that you knew nothing." Yeah, it's that good. God I wish I could just spill it all. But it's sooo good.
Yeah, I don't really know why I had to urge to talk about this movie. I get like that sometimes. I just really have the urge to just let loose my opinion on things like this. It's just that movies like this make me wonder why Hollywood keeps pumping out unoriginal shit stains and 5 thousand remakes. Maybe that's why gems like The Life Aquatic and even Napolean Dynamite are out of nowhere hits. We crave wit and originality in our media, because there is so little of it.
