To be fair, violence by itself isn't the sole indicator of something's value. The original had a *reason* to be so over-the-top violent. I don't think the new one is going for the same allegorical subtext, though; if it's "just" an action movie then it doesn't necessarily have to be hardcore just to move the story along.

If gore is the only measure of how good a movie is, then the "Saw" movies would be great and not garbage. There's a time and a place for it. I'm still gonna wait and see on this one, but just because it's not as gory doesn't mean it won't be good, in and of itself.
