What is a real SUBPLOT?

Dock · 10-22-2005, 09:40 PM

i've been reading the reviews to some recent movies that have been released and noticed the ones with bad reviews supposedly have weak subplots. i even read some reviews from SAW, which i thought was pretty good, and a few critics mention a weak subplot.

can anyone tell me what makes a good subplot? or can you give an example of a good subplot in your opinion from a popular movie?

thanx in advance!
