 What's good Joshua boros back again with another video? So I finally got a chance to check out spiral This was my actual first movie. I got to see in the movie theaters since before the pandemic happened Like I haven't been to the movie theater theaters obviously because of that So it was cool to finally go back and watch a movie on the big screen with the surround sound I did enjoy that experience once again But yeah, I only got a chance to see spiral I've been trying to actually watch it since it came out last weekend But I've been busy so much with the J Cole album dropping in all other content I've been trying to push out on the intercourse page in on on this on my personal page so I've just been very busy, but I definitely wanted to check this out for you guys and My honest opinions on it. It was enjoyable for me personally I enjoyed it for what it was Do I think it was a necessary sequel? Not so much, but I do think it's better than the Saw reboot if you guys remember that a few years back after saw had kind of ended With saw 3d, which was a horrible movie They brought it back with like a soft reboot took place in the same universe And they kind of did some retconning like storytelling With the twist at the end of that movie that I didn't really enjoy it as much the traps were okay But I didn't really enjoy the retcon that the recon that they created with the ending of that movie So I wasn't really sure or maybe even looking forward to Checking out a sequel from that movie, but in this one. I think this is a proper like I guess you could say Sequel a predecessor to the original saw franchise in my opinion. It's more of a spin-off That's really what it is. It's more of a spin-off It takes place in the same universe that jigsaw and all the traps and killings took place in But it's more of a spin-off and I think if this movie originally came out Prior to the movie that came out a few years ago of saw I think a lot of people would have been more receptive and more accepting of it Overall, I enjoyed it Chris Rock as the main protagonist Detective Zeke Banks. I enjoyed his character. I like his motivation. He was a cool protagonist You know I'm saying I like the The fact that they were going with the storyline of a corrupt police System of corrupt police department and he was one of the good cops, you know I don't want to spoil it too much, but basically it causes some friction between him and Pretty much all the other detectives in a department. So I like that I like that they they kind of brought that up and I I really wish you know We could have spent a little bit more time on just that storyline alone because that was actually pretty interesting You also have Samuel L Jackson in this movie now. He's in it, but he's not in it as much He plays our Marcus Banks Zeke Zeke Banks father Chris Rock's father in this movie And he's in the film, but not a lot I want to say like there's a few couple of scenes here and there a few flashback scenes It's Samuel L Jackson like he he he's more of a comic relief at times Even though Chris Rock his character is a comic relief at times like they they both filled that role But if you've seen one Sam Jack movie you've seen them all the scenes that he was in all I can see is Sam Jack being Sam Jack, but it was still enjoyable. You still like this presence on the screen I like that it was kind of a cat and mouse game kind of like if you guys remember from the original saw Danny a Glover's character was trying to figure out what was going on in that game And I was more of a cat and mouse situation They end up getting some intel on someone being captured they get to the crime scene and The person's body's all mangled up, but they're trying to figure out who it is They're trying to catch up to the killer. So I enjoyed that segment of it Basically, this is someone that is inspired by Jigsaw even his voice sounds kind of weird I like how Jigsaw voice was like the way he fixed it up and set it up It sound menacing when he was talking to you through the TV screen with the puppy Sound menacing this one sounds like some kid just got a voice changer and just started talking trash before you die Like it was one of those type of things that I didn't really buy into the voice changing of it But basically that's what it is. It's a Jigsaw copycat and he's going after you know Corrupt individuals or why not corrupt cops? So I thought it could have been better. They could have executed that better with the voice changer But nevertheless people want to know are the traps good? Yes, they are. Yes, they are these traps were I ain't gonna lie to you pretty brutal I've seen all the saw movies. I believe I've seen Costa one and two I've seen my my fair share of the the torture John a lot of saw movies always made me cringe And and this one was right up there like it was there was some moments in here where I'm I'm looking away I'm cringing really hard because it's it's it's brutal things that these people are actually going through and a lot of these traps I'm gonna be honest with you. No one's really getting out of them I'm gonna just keep it a stack a lot of these traps didn't seem like I mean a person could have actually gotten out of the trap The amount of pain and amount of damage they would have to do to themselves if they got out of the trap They would forever be changed It wasn't like they could walk away from this with a couple bruises and you know Scratches and breaks maybe here and there. No, they would never be the same if they were to survive these type of traps So I did like the brutalness of the traps They were very creative and you can tell they put budget a nice little budget behind it And I like the soundtrack of that was playing throughout the The movie I think this is the first saw movie where the soundtrack is like nothing but like licensed music So I was not you know expecting that I know 21 Savage is there You know a little collaboration with them with his song spiral But it was cool to see like they had licensed music within the movie I think that's the first time we've seen that in a saw movie So the twist at the end you can kind of see it coming You can kind of tell if you if you've seen these type of movies you've seen this plot before you I don't want it like I said, I'm not gonna say anything. I'm gonna say that for my spoiler review But you've seen this plot before and you can kind of you can kind of see where they're going with this And I was piecing and they get together fairly quickly Faster than I probably should have only because they didn't really do a good job of hiding it The twist was serviceable at best and the way it ends it does look like it's about to set up for a Sequel potentially depending on how well it does in the movie theaters So we will see and of course you can't go wrong with the classic Jigsaw theme music playing at the end. I thought that was beautiful I love hearing that theme song It just gives me chills knowing that I'm watching a saw movie back at the theaters again When you hear that at the end it kind of does bring back that nostalgia Like damn, you know, and I've you know once you heard this theme as when you're about to find out the big reveal or whatever So me personally I enjoyed it for what it was I like it better than the previous saw movie that came out a few years back and I think Depending on if it makes the money that they're somewhat trying to get back from it I can see maybe a sequel being created from this But it was serviceable. I think is if you're a fan of saw I think you will enjoy this for what it is Granted, there's not that many traps in the movie, but when they do get to the traps It's pretty intense and I think you guys will most likely just enjoy it if you Enjoy any of the other saw movies. So comment down below let me know if you see spiral and What's your thoughts on it? Please? No spoilers in the comment section not on this video What you thought about it? Did you enjoy it?
