I must admit that I like bad movies as long as they're entertaining on some level be it good writing, interesting story, or something else, but I can't think of a good thing about this movie other than the cast. Honestly, I think anyone else could have played these roles and it wouldn't have been any worse. Winona was wasted and her character always seemed randomly motivated, almost bipolar. Fiennes could have been replaced with a wooden plank and have the same impact.

Every now and then you will see another star pop in for a cameo role, which honestly, were the best parts of the movie. If this had just been their stories it would have been a far better experience. But these clips felt as if they were just randomly thrown in and the transitions to these were abrupt.

The movie was rather disjointed and filled with unnecessary bits and pieces. If the film student hadn't been in this movie, I would have been a lot better. Also if the main character was Winona's character, it would have been much more entertaining.

I just felt like there was no change in any of the characters by the end of the movie. Joseph Fiennes came in as a robot and ended as a robot, Winona came in a nobody and left the same way, and Wilmer was always just an annoying plot device for the camera operators shakes to seem artsy and new.

Been there, done that, and it looks better on someone else.

The awkward love story was...awkward. I can't find a better word than that. It was unnecessary in the context of the film and felt like it was just thrown in, because, "all good movies have a love story in there somewhere." Nice try, Finn Taylor.

I've been wanting to see this movie for a very long time. I eventually just bought it on E-Bay since it's so hard to find state-side. But the wait was...somewhat worth it.

I can't say the movie was great. And I can't say that the movie was hilarious. But it was good and it has some pretty funny points. That aside the shots in this movie are just beautiful. And the entire cast, especially Brenda Blethyn (someone I hadn't seen before, sadly), were excellent.

In the end this is a feel good romantic comedy and I recommend checking it out, unless you've just had a death in the family.

If anything, the final chapter is highly worth the money. >.<

Saw II is not as good as the original, but boy, is it still a ride. All of the surprises and twists of the first installment cannot be topped, but they sure try. The traps are not so threatening as before and the story no more stronger.

The actors were at most decent this time around. There was no gritty feel to them, but the scenery more than makes up for that.

Why a high score? Because all in all it made my pulse rise, my palms sweat, and my eyes want to shut while all the while screaming for more. See this movie if not for the story, but for the ride and the nice twist at the end.

If you like bad acting, horrible scripts, and one really bad director this is the movie for you! Be prepared to loose some good money on this steamy pile right here. It's extremely slow to start and totally unbelievable. It also leaves you screaming "Why!" and "What the!" in the theater. The best part of this movie was listening to the room full of angry people yelling at the screen. I mean, there are a few good parts, but they're quickly distroyed by the coming of a new day. Seriously, if you like your money and your time, do not, I repeat, DO NOT watch this movie. Do something more worthwhile, like sponsoring a foreign child or something. Receiving letters from some Asian country is going to be more entertaining than this.
