There was a theme there that could have been explored and delved into so much deeper! Its not terrible by any means and I think critics are doing too much, it's fine and enjoyable, just not the elevated version I thought it could/would've been.

It relied far less on the traps this time around which felt refreshing. I agree that the topic of the story could have been a bit stronger and executed a lot better, but for what it's worth, I think this was a decent way in trying to reboot such a stale franchise and put it's own spin on it. If they are to do a sequel, I'd like the story to be a bit meatier and not shy away so much, but in terms of the traps/the "torture porn" aspect, I thought this handled all that perfectly. Not too many but just as grim as the traps before them. A nice balance. Chris Rock's voice grates on me though. I just cannot take him seriously!
