Amazon.com:
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

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good, effective sequel
This is a good piece of horror with some great & gruesome traps in it. There are a quite a few very effective setpieces and some really twisted games involving some truly unpleasant characters. It's a worthy sequel and worth watching for any horror fan.
Rating: - The Games Continue!!!
This was a really good sequel! I like the S.W.A.T team scenes and the traps and twists! After bailing his son out, Detective Eric Matthews finds out where Jigsaw is hiding, but for Jigsaw, getting caught is part of the game. Eight people are trapped in a house. Included in the game are Amanda from the original, Eric's son; Daniel, Xavier, Obi, Gus, Laura, Addison, and Jonas. They all must find an antidote for the poison gas they are breathing. Later, Xavier chases Amanda and Daniel to the classic ... Read More
Rating: - very happy
I was very pleased with the speed of product delivery and the quality of the product.
Rating: - You gotta play by the rules
Saw 2 is a sequal that worked for the most part in my opinion. It stays true to the Saw theme by still asking if you are grateful to be alive, and asking how much blood you are willing to shed to stay alive once you are in a life or death situation (or game, as Jigsaw calls it). The games (or traps some may like to call them too) are more played out in this sequal, where as we only got to see glimpses in the first Saw. The main scenario is on a larger scale, played out in an old house with a group ... Read More
Rating:  - Not the cutting edge of sequels
This second installment of the Saw series is by far the worst of the bunch. Sequels are always a bad idea, especially when you're up against something as brilliant as the original Saw. Let's face it. This is a premise with severely limited room for expansion. The first Saw was a beautifully wretched and gruesome concept that was played out great on film. But this sequel didn't have much of a chance of matching the sweet bloody ambiance of its pedecessor. Like most sequels, since the premise of the ... Read More
