I saw the first one and have no desire to see the sequels. I get some entertainment from reading the plot summaries on Wikipedia, and it is probably more than I'd get from the actual movies.

clever idea, plenty of gore. turns into more of a comedy when watching with a m8.

I kinda had a hard time swallowing that Donnie Wahlberg was a tough over the top cop who pissy that ole jigsaw kidnapped his kid, whom the kid seemed not all that hot about trapped in a room full of convicts. The acting sucked, the characters were annoying...except Jigsaw, who was cool and collective as always. But the twist at the end was cool.

The slaughter in Saw II is pretty much non-stop, but you always see it coming. The movie's not really that scary, just gross in what by now is a fairly routine way.

Saw II has teeth, and this house-of-horrors franchise has legs, though they're manacled to the radiator.

The serpentine plot is logical; the acting is passable and the film creates a palpable atmosphere of paranoia and tension.
