Pratik Singh reviewed Saw II
When detective Eric Matthews is called to a crime scene of a victim of Jigsaw, he finds a lead to the place where he is hidden. Once there, he realises that Jigsaw trapped his son Daniel Matthews with three women and four men in a shelter, and they are inhaling a lethal nerve gas. If they do not use an antidote within two hours, they will die. Eric follows with increasing desperation the death of each member of the group in monitors, while trying to convince Jigsaw to release his son.
This movie a bit more gory then the first movie , which i did like much and it didn't have that many twists and turns like the first movie. that why the first one was so much more fun to watch.
The acting in this movie was little better from some of the cast but the not whole of the cast, i did not care for some of the characters in this movie could wait for them to die.
There was good twist in this movie but it was not a great twist like the first movie.

This movie was exciting, thrilling and disgusting at times, I found myself on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next. I don't typically care for gross movies but this movie has a powerful message to get out. I was totally surprised at the end of the movie. I got the message and was able to apply it to myself and my life. I strongly recommend this movie. It is not really what you expect it to be. you will be surprised by the turn of events in the movie. it will stay with you long after the lights come back on. Even if you pay close attention to the movie, you will still be taken aback by the ending.
and learn to appreciate what you have and apply it to yourself.

For starters, i have to say that this is one of the best sequels ever in horror movie history, it's on par with Scream 2, Hostel part 2 and Wrong Turn 2: Dead End.
OK, now the my opinion. The film starts of with a spectacular bridge disaster (great effects) and an awesome build up. The acting is much better than The Final Destination. Though not fantastic. Now for the deaths after the bridge collapse, they are inventive, brutal and stuff that you could do. The final twist is fantastic but with a major goof (you should notice when you watch it).
Many people will say that this is just a typical sequel, but it is not. Yes, there are some clich

Do not get me wrong: I have seen worse movies. But if someone was interested in seeing a Final Destination movie, this would not be the one I would suggest. This would be a good movie if you want to watch a gory movie without the bother of a plot or creativity.
I found myself not remembering which actress was which, as there was nothing interesting about any of the characters. The previous 3 had characters that I could recognize from scene to scene. No relationships develop as a result of teaming up against death. I do not know that the acting was bad, just not memorable.
The previous 3 had interesting deaths, which seemed to be replaced this time with gore that lends it's self well to 3D graphics. I enjoyed watching the series of unfortunate events that lead to freak accidents, but this one is all about a spleen flying into your face.
It might be worth your hour and 10 minutes if you are really hard up to blow some time, but do not expect to be impressed.

I just recently saw Final Destination 3 and really loved it. In fact, I felt it was the best of the three. What I noticed, is that Final Destination 3 really did an excellent job at keeping up with the cinematic elements of the first Final Destination and adding even more creativity to the deaths we find in Final Destination 2. I think this movie had even better killings than the first two movies. So much, that at the end of the movie I felt unnerved and have promised never to step foot in a tanning salon or think twice before riding a roller coaster. I absolutely loved the explicit violent nature of the ride from hell we see in this movie. It starts with a bang and keeps it going throughout, in my opinion.
As with the other two Final Destinations, I love how in this movie there are so many ironic and subliminal messages throughout the movie (i.e., the pictures taken at the amusement park giving off some clue as to which way death was going to get "even", Ohio Players "Love Roller Coaster" playing in the tanning scene). So clever! This movie was full of surprises and had all the perfect elements of what an audience want from a horror movie. I especially love the Final Destination idea that death is a force, more so than a maniac in a hockey mask, a monster, etc... We all can't cheat death and this movie proves that. It's amazing that death can "stalk" the way it does in these movies. Very original and interesting concept! I would highly recommend this movie to anyone that loves a great thrill and wants to walk away feeling a little uneasy and vulnerable.

This really was a great horror flick. I expected more from the actors (A.J. Cook in particular), but Ali Larter was her usual good self and Tony 'Candyman' Todd performed his 2 minute role well. David Ellis did a spectacular job directing the movie, and gave it some truly memorable moments (e.g. the opening scene with Kimberly's premonition - how classic was that?!) The highlight was definitely the SFX. The deaths were realistic, so giving the movie a more realistic style - I remember such movies as 'A Nightmare on Elm Street 2', where the entire film was wasted on cheesy SFX. OK, so I guess that underlines the movie's fine points, but what about those little mistakes? Firstly, the deaths were a little far-fetched, so casting some doubt over the 'realism'. Secondly, most of the actors were thoroughly unlikable (with the exception of Clear Rivers and William Bludworth of course!) and complete idiots. Really, how can you possibly overlook all of Death's signs?
The Plot...
When Kimberly Corman goes on a road trip with her friends, she has a violent premonition of a freeway pile-up. She manages to save only a couple of people safe. Or are they safe? The survivors mysteriously drop of in brutal 'accidents' and it's up to Kimberly to stop it before it's too late...

Final Destination is the most frustrating of all movies. It has a great premise, some truly scary moments, reasonably talented actors, but it just can't hold it's momentum. The first hour here is good, than it just gets goofy. People die in truly insane ways. One character is stabbed, has her throat cut by glass from an exploding computer, and is then blown up. What should be a terrifying moment turns into a hilarious example of all that is wrong with modern horror. Nothing subtle in this movie. Even features a decapitation, easily the least scary cliche in the genre. Every time the film really starts to gain speed, it falls apart with some stupid gory death that pushes the limits of plausibility. Good horror is always based in reality, this movie just gets too silly to take seriously. They do get points, however, for never showing us "death." I was pleasantly surprised to not see anyone in a mask. For a film that successfully works this premise check out the 1960's masterpiece Carnival of Souls, ignore this dreck.

I understand that many people probably enjoyed this movie because it was the last on in a series of eight movies but I truly enjoyed the movie for what is simply is.
The following may contain SPOILERS. Of the scenes that i loved the most included; 1. The Gringotts scene which I thought was very well shot and was built and directed in a very good format. 2. Mostly all the scenes at Hogwarts and the murder of Voldermart were very well written and directed. To be more specific the scenes in that which included a lot of thought and also included a lot of stlye which i enjoyed.
To give it a more overview i REALLY enjoyed this part of the the 8 part movie seiries and proves to be the the best on e out of all of them. The acting by Daniel Radcliff, Rupert Grint, Emma Waston, Ralph Finnes, and the entire cast was truly amazing. This shows how mature and experienced the actors are. You have to watch this movie; and if you don't you are missing a great story . The only thing is fails to live up to is it's even more amazing novel by JK Rowling which will always be the best.

This particular movie possesses many admirable qualities. Fine acting, exciting storyline etc. But for me the poor quality lighting of many crucial scenes out weighs all else and because of this I would give this movie a poorer than average rating. What good does all the rest mean,if you can't make out the picture? I watched the movie in high definition blue ray and scene after scene the lighting was terrible. I realize that the action took place after dark. Time after time I could not make out what was going on. I believe that the makers of this film and all of Harry Potter movies would be well served if they gave proper illumination to the scenes. I realize England can be drab and dreary, that wizards wear black and that they teach in Hogwart's dark chambers but consideration should be given to the viewer. I give you as an example, in the case of audio, how many of you have seen a movie in which within a scene horrendous noise is occurring, bombs are going off etc.? Yet, within the scene two lovers speak, perhaps one dying in the arms of the other and there is utter silence in the background as they speak. You are allowed to hear their conversation (literary license?)(perhaps need to tell the story). In the same way, the Potter franchise has often suffered with trying to set the scene with realistic light when what was needed was enough light for the viewer to make out the subject matter. Do others see it my way?

I've enjoyed watching the Harry Potter films (I've not read the books), but this is the first one that began to try my patience.
"Half-Blood Prince" doesn't make sense if you've not read the book it's based on, a crime for which I cannot forgive movie adaptations. The first half of the film deals with the adolescent romances of the Hogwarts students, treated as an aside by the entire film series but somewhat of a welcome relief from the dark brooding of Harry and his battle with Voldemort. However, the last half of the film lurches into action and seems completely disconnected with everything that came before it. By the time Dumbledore and Harry were off to find another piece of Voldemort's soul, I was lost and didn't much care about being found.
