Comparing 'Sequels To The Movie Saw'
Sequels to a movie are usually said to be bad by the critics. But this time the sequel blows the original out of the water. There were many differences in both, but some aspects were still the same.
My friend told me that the first "Saw" was quite horrible, but I decided to see it for myself anyways. The plot to "Saw" was about a young man named Adam, played by Leigh Whannell, who wakes to find himself chained to a rusty pipe inside a dirty utility room. Chained to the opposite side of the room is another captive, Dr. Lawrence Gordon, played by Cary Elwes. Between them is a dead man lying in a pool of blood, holding a gun in his hand. Neither Adam nor Dr. Gordon knows why he has been abducted. There was a cassette tape left for them to tell them the instructions of a game
…show more content…
The instructions told Dr. Gordon to kill Adam within eight hours. If he failed to do so, then both men will die, and Dr. Gordon's wife, Alison, and his daughter will be killed. Recalling a recent murder investigation by a police detective named Tapp, Dr. Gordon realizes he and Adam are the next victims of a psychopath known as "Jigsaw." With only a few hours left to spare, they must unravel the elaborate puzzle of their fate. The killer has provided them with only a few clues and two hand saws. Dr. Gordon finds pictures that Adam took of him because he though he was cheating on his wife. Since the chains are too strong to be sawed, they had to think of another way to escape, so Dr. Gordon saws through his leg and leaves his friend to die. Parts of the plot seemed interesting, like how Jigsaw "killed" his hostages, but I wished it would just end. Everything seemed to drag

    Though it was a decent film, there was a few flaws. I thought the movie was a little too predictable. There wasn't much to it, and I knew exactly what was going to happen before it did; like when Dana (Eric Phillips) grabbed Roy and tried to…

    Often, movie studios push sequels after the success of their predecessor even when there’s clearly no need for it. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 quickly comes to mind as a production that served absolutely no purpose whatsoever – other than to make a sad attempt by a studio to cash in on said past earnings.…

    Throughout the movie there were some negative things that were present within it. Some of these were how the songs would just randomly begin and could make a certain scene loose its significance and meaning, the plot itself seemed to be a bit predictable and disappointing until a plot-twist occurred. The ending of the movie I found confusing and a cliché. Although there were a few negative aspects present in the movie I still believe it was a successful movie and quite enjoyable.…

    Personally, I like the book better. The movie just doesn't give enough information. It leaves out so many details from the book that it just messes up the story line. Don't get me wrong the movie was a great movie but it just wasn't good enough. It needed more details than what it had. The little details is what counts the…

    There are some movies that are adapted from the novel such as Harry Potter, Da Vinci Code, Twilight Saga, The Hunger Games and Lagenda Budak Setan. What are the differences between watching a movie and reading a novel? There are some contrasts between the two actions. One of the differences is by watching a movie, you just need to sit and relax. It is very easy since you only need to watch it and understands it. Furthermore, you can watch the movie while doing something else such as eating or exercising. You do not really have to focus like to imagine how the atmosphere is in the movie at that time or how a person is walking down the streets. Lastly, you can avoid disbelief since it is a multi-sensory experience. On the other hand, by reading…

    Some actors acted and appeared entirely different in the movie than the book. The directing and special effects were okay in some scenes, but half-baked and lousy in others. Furthermore, the characters are developed far less in the film and many semi-important scenes in the novel are excluded in the film. Do not watch this movie unless you have read the novel (or even if you have read it). If you haven’t read the book and decide to watch the movie instead, you will fail to understand the complicated relationships between each character and between the Socs and Greasers and just think the movie is substandard and all aspects of the movie lacked in action, emotion, or just seemed like they were not well thought out. A 3.5/10 may seem harsh, but I was not pleased. Just go read the book instead. It had the potential to be a great film, but severely missed the…

    King Kong Movie Comparison

    • 2042 Words
    • 9 Pages

    The movies King Kong (1976) and King Kong (2005) based on the 1933 film are some of the most captivating films that offer to the audience memorable characters, resonating emotions, thrilling actions and archetypal narratives. Bierman indicates that the heart-stopping and jaw-dropping King Kong films have been made to expand visual languages mostly expressed by motion pictures to capture the core appeal which many classic movies have (57). As this paper examines, the 1976 King Kong movie and its 2005 re-make display certain similarities and differences in terms of art, style and technological wonder as well as poignant character development. These are indicative of the evolution of the Hollywood style. Besides, as movies of high polysemy quality, their audience draw attention to aspects like overt sexism, misogyny, cultural portrayal of women as fault makers and victims, fears of miscegenation, racist ideologies and capitalist fables. It is against this front that this paper holistically examines the two King Kong movies and concludes by exploring the American culture, society and politics at the time when both films were made.…

    I’ll be concluding this by just saying the Luhrmann version is the one I liked better in my favor but others can have different opinions and it’s okay if they do. Both of them did sort of had some flaws and wasnt as the best as they could be. Like for one they could’ve not use the same script as the book and use the present time english we speak to this day. But like said i earlier the probs and scenery has to go to the luhrmann version they did very excellent job on it. If i could recommend or advise you to watch one it’ll have to be Luhrmann version first and see how you like it cause in opinion it was really good.…

    amazing and awesome as Iron Man 2, including Iron Man. The expectations of the first one were too high which made it hard for them to meet up to it. Since Iron Man failed at meeting its expectations the first time around, the expectations weren’t so high which made it easier for Iron Man 2 to meet it and surpass it. Iron Man 2 is much better than Iron Man because the setting, characters and plot are more developed and intriguing than the first one.…

    Usually, a sequel to a movie that people love will never be good. One cannot forget those “unforgettable” moments where the first movie captures their attention. They often will say that nothing can and will never outdo that movie. However, Kung Fu Panda 2 (KFP2) was better than its predecessor, Kung Fu Panda 1. It was a sequel three years in the making, but it was sure worth the wait. The movie brings up the importance of inner-peace, learning to let go, and never giving up. KFP2 is the movie of the century for kids and adults of all ages. The first reason why people should watch it is because of the plot (storyline). KFP2 goes more in depth of Po’s background and how he ended up where he is. Unlike the original, this movie moves…
