This series needs to end. I liked the first two films, but it has been downhill ever since. I'll see it, but obviously expectations are low.

[Cop No. 633]

This series needs to end. I'll see it, but obviously expectations are low.

I found this funny. You want this to end and yet you're still paying to see it. Even if you say it's crap and give it 4/10, you still paid to see it and the studio automatically takes that as a reason to make another one.

If you really want it to be over, don't see it or download it.

[Bourne101]

Haha, I do realize how idiotic it sounds, but for some strange reason I just kind of want to know what happens.

[bigred760]

I've seen all of the Saw films every Halloween when they're released. I've also only seen all of them only once. This year will be no different.

It's almost like tradition now.

I've never actually considered any of them anything special; I've given all but the last one 7/10s (I think). The last one dropped a notch to a 6/10. I have to say that I'm always curious to see what f*cked up ways people die in these movies.

[Jig Saw 123]

Won't be going in the theater expecting much, my interest in these films have dropped after the third film, but its always fun to see what they can pull out of their ass with each installment.

[NuclearMisfit]

I really want Doctor Gordon to be the one to test Hoffman, itll probably end up being some random person or Jill Tuck. :rolleyes:

[ilovemovies]

I really have no idea what to expect from these movies anymore. I mean in terms of quality. I've been so damn mixed about this franchise. 1 and 2 I liked. 3 and 4 not so much. But 5 was surprisingly okay. So I have no idea what to expect.

[NuclearMisfit]

Ive been having a similar feeling sometimes I feel excited then sometimes I dont have that much anticipation for them. This movie Im really hyped for and I dont know why since the last one was a disappointment for me.

[ericdraven]

I laughed hard at the first trailer, so I will not be seeing this. thank you

I agree, the Saw franchise, like any franchise, is a mixed bag. I loved Saw I and III, but thought II and V were okay, and IV was shit. I'm thinking VI will most likely be shitty because it'll most likely attempt to answer all of the questions in a small time frame and have Jill Tuck reign victorious.

[Mr. Fred Krueger]

Loved the first three, four is pretty good and five is merely ok (a little too...investigative and flash-backy for me). Hopefully VI answers some questions and brings back the thrills of the original three.

[FireCaptain4]

I've finally garnered up the courage to skip out on the latest Saw entry starting with this year. I told myself I'd skip last year, but now I'm actually following through and waiting until DVD.

I'll see the movie out of some strange feeling of investment due to seeing every other chapter to date, but I've been savoring Zombieland for the very reason that I can go out on Halloween weekend and watch something fun this year. I thought V was better than IV, but this series just doesn't entertain me. They’re harmless enough I suppose, but they’ve become tired.

I keep hoping that a Saw film, one of these days, is going to end with Jigsaw's brain opening up and revealing this dude behind the controls:

http://www.drunkendata.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/men-in-black-alien.jpg

That would seriously have made all 6... 8... 12 (?) entries worth it.

[CyclicNightmare]

If it's Halloween... it must be Saw.

This will be better than IV and V. Hopefully on the level of the first three, but I doubt it. I'll drink the Kool Aid again anyway.

[SpikeDurden]

Part of what I like about the Saw franchise is that it doesn't pretend to be anything that it isn't. And Twisted Pictures have established a very, very perfect business model. Each year, when it comes Halloween time, there will be a new Saw film. It is ingrained in people's mind, and they simply show up to the theatre to see the film. At this point, they barely even need to advertise anymore. It's extremely effective planning and is working wonder for the studios. And you know what? I've bought into it every year since the very first one. Yeah, the series has for the most part gotten progressively worse, but I still enjoy the series' particular brand of violence and madness and much like the filmmakers and the producers and the studios want, the series HAS become a Halloween tradition for me. It just wouldn't be Halloween without a new Saw film. I don't love these films in the least, but I do enjoy them for what they are and as someone who wants to be successful in the entertainment industry, I have to commend these Saw guys on their great financial achievement. Yeah, yeah, it gets to the point where you have to discuss the sacrifice of art and quality for money, but I don't think the Saw films are hurting anybody or affecting the overall marketplace, and as long as audiences still show up, who's to say differently?

I just wanted to add that I would hope that each year at this time a massive dump truck full of money pulls up to Charlie Clouser's house. I mean seriously, is that not THE most effective and iconic theme song, or what?

[Heisenberg]

Well it's only doing what every other horror franchise has done. Dragged the characters and story out longer than it can handle. Hate these films so much. :D

Ps: Jig Saw your avatar is pretty great! :)

[dellamorte dellamore]

I have to give them credit, at least they didn't go the Jigsaw takes Manhattan route or Jigsaw in space, yet.

I finally caught part 3 on Syfy the other day, i refuse to even rent these films, so the only way i will see them is if i stumble across it on Tv, and something hit me. I had this feeling of revulsion, utter disgust while watching.

Now some of you may think it was because of the gore, nope, i just loathe these films with a passion. The first one was clever and delivered a clever low budget shock, each successive entry has been monotonous and underwhelming.

I now hate Shawnee Smith, i just didn't realize it until these films. She is dreadful in the installments she appeared in, and what's to say about the guy who plays Jigsaw, sickening as all hell.

Give me Jason, Freddy, or Micheal anyday over this low rent horror villain, please for the love of god, end this series already.

Ohhh, he wants us to learn a lesson, okay, i think the lesson is, don't watch this drivel, i'm going to take heed, unless there is nothing else on and i get to watch it for free( save for the 200 watts of electric my television consumes)

Perhaps you should stick to Jason X, Rob Zombie's Halloween, or A Nightmare on Elm Street 3-6, because Jigsaw is a villain with layers, instead of being this monster like figure who just won't die. I don't like the later Saw films, but not at any point did I think they were utter garbage when compared to the latest entries of Jason, Michael, and Freddy.

[Heisenberg]

Haha, Jig Saw doesn't have layers. He was just a guy that found out that he didn't have much time to live, and wanted to spend the rest of it 'punishing' people for the way they have wasted their lives. Or whatever other sins they have committed in the past.


SPOILERS!!!!








He died in part three, yet we still see him in all of them up to part six. WTF??

[Bourne101]

SPOILERS!!!!

While I'm not trying to defend the series as I think it has gone downhill after Part II, Jigsaw has only returned in the occasional flashback in parts IV-VI. It's not as if he got his head chopped off and then somehow comes back from the dead and starts wreaking havoc all by himself.

On a side note (and this is certainly not directed at anyone), if anyone finds out the ending before the film is released PLEASE do not post it in this thread. If you are going to post it let it be known that you are posting it and use the handy new spoiler tags that we have now. I have had the endings of the last three entries spoiled before I saw them, and let's face it, if there is any merit to the Saw films it is the twist endings. It's much better to go in without knowing how it ends.

[CyclicNightmare]

I think this franchise is like a TV series. I'll keep coming back for the next season. It's part of the fun.

[Mr.HyDe807]

At least Paranormal Activity gave me a quality horror movie fix this Halloween year.

The interests of the traps, torture, and plot wore after I saw the terrible 3rd one, so a pass for me.

[Heisenberg]

The best Halloween movie released this year or infact ever, is Trick 'r Treat. This garbage wont hold even a little tiny match to that movie.

It's sad that pure awesome like Trick 'r Treat doesn't get a theatrical release, yet shite like this and the dire H2, do. :(

[Lat er al]

i know it will be bad, however I'm going to see it. Not going to pay for it. Primarily beacuse I'm a college student and dont have extra money. I have to see it though, out of curiosity. Same reason why I watched Jason Takes Manhattan or Halloween 3 or Dream Warriors. Sometimes its just fun to watch a whole franchise. Anyways the original Saw was excellent, one of my favorite endings. Go Charlie Clouser!

[Jig Saw 123]

When compared to characters like Jason, the vengeful deformed pre-teen who magically becomes a grown man and kills people who come to his camp, and Michael, the child who is pure evil and kills anyone linked to his blood line.

I too liked Trick r' Treat, but its been getting mostly bad reviews by the masses with some good feedback from its small fan group who followed it prior to its initial release, which was meant to be two years ago. I'm amazed how you can judge a film, Saw VI, when you haven't even seen it. :confused:

[CyclicNightmare]

Haters wanna hate

[ericdraven]

anyone notice that the actors in the Saw films upwards from the third one haven't really appeared in much films afterwards?

[ilovemovies]

Jigsaw (the original though I like Amanda as well) is alright but he's basically John Doe-lite.

[Strider]

For fuck's sake, when will this series end?

I've said it once and I'll say it again: I'll skip this latest installment and watch the original Saw at home instead.

[Heisenberg]

Considering the rest of the series is a bag of balls, I'm PRETTY sure this one will be just more of the same crap. Cannot say for definite it will be shit, but I'm 99% sure it will be.

[XCoRyX]

I still haven't seen the last Saw and unless I get a free DVD copy of it or it comes on a movie channel I have, I won't be. I enjoyed the first Three a whole lot but just have lost interest.

[Jig Saw 123]

Jigsaw (the original though I like Amanda as well) is alright but he's basically John Doe-lite.

I agree, he doesn't bare some ideologies of John Doe, but combines them with the thoughts of a religious doctor, which makes him a completely different character. :p

[CyclicNightmare]

Better than IV and V. Not as good as the first three.

[SkyNet]

This one was leaps and bounds better than Saw V... it Brought the story back around to tie it back into all the movies, and with no expectations for the ending, i must say, i very much enjoyed it.

I LOVED the fact that the whole point was about the state of Private Health Care, i kept thinking "How Topical" and then was thinking about how awesome it was, because that is exactly what it is, you hold life and death in your hands! So bad ass. I loved that this was Hoffmans game, and that throught the past few it seemed that Hoffman became the new Jigsaw, but this movie brings it back to show Nope... there is only ONE Jigsaw, and he controls every aspect! And after the ending to this one, i cant wait to see Saw VII with Hoffman and a half tore off face!

also, the main guy in this flick looks like Peter O'Toole!

all in all, if you have enjoyed the series at all, this is a worthy inclusion.. but yes, you must have seen all previous Saw flicks to keep up with this one. Although Saw V's plot isnt hard to Cipher out

[FireCaptain4]

Great, now SkyNet and the JimmyO (http://www.joblo.com/review-saw-vi) review have me in a cinematic bind.

[SkyNet]

nice.. Just read jimmy O's review... and i agree 100% with everything he said! Hopefully that praise will carry over into the general populace.

Saw VII is supposed to be in 3D... i think that will be bad ass! Looking forward to that!

[CreeperBEATNGU]

Wow...just wow.

Everything I hoped it'd be and more. Thus far no installment has come reasonably close to SAW III for me, but this was just about as good.

Right from the beginning, every trap has meaning, the way that the dialogue throughout the film pertains to the violence is extremely thought provoking.

I expected to hate William when he was first introduced, but in the end loved his character almost as much as Jeff, I felt bad for him despite the awful things he's done, and really wanted him to make it.

This does the best job of any installment thus far at both having characters their lesson while forcing them to suffer for their sins at the same time.

The health care aspect was a brilliant way to weave in and out of characterization, moral dilemmas, and themes that personally and socially relevant.

The flashbacks feel just as relevant to the story as what's happening currently, Charlie Clouser was at the top of his game coming up with some innovative ways of using the themes from the previous films at exactly the right times, I think this is Tobin Bell's most emotionally charged performance yet, Costas Mandylor gives the most sinister villain performance of the series that had me anxious to see him get what was coming to him (without revealing whether that happened or not), there are some interesting twists building throughout the film that serve a purpose rather than just one or two at the end there are there to be "shocking," and I was completely on the edge of my seat during the tests to see what would happen to these people since I'm almost more invested when the situations directly relate to the transgressions of the victim(s), and they balanced survivors compared to deaths enough to where I really wasn't sure who would make it.

It feels as climactic as SAW III with a sense of finality to the primary characters of the second trilogy that could be continued, but doesn't necessarily need to be unlike the "to be continued..." endings that were more like pauses in the middle from SAW IV and V.

This is the best horror film of 2009 and the second best movie of the year behind only District 9.

[SpikeDurden]

I'm not sure what to say, but I too agree with Jimmy O. This is easily my favorite of the Saw films since the third, maybe even the second. It's brutal, fairly clever, and ties things up really, really well. The last 10 minutes were fairly spectacular.

[SpikeDurden]

Jigsaw (the original though I like Amanda as well) is alright but he's basically John Doe-lite.

Congrats on hitting 30,000 posts. That's just... incredible.

get a life

[poguesfan]

Pass on this shit, I'm fucking bored with these contrived, worthless horror films, they should have stopped with Saw 3.

[Jig Saw 123]

I honestly thought this Saw would suck, but boy was I surprised. I'm glad I stayed away from the spoiler forums regarding the film because even though some of the twist were predictable, other ones completely caught me off guard. I loved how it ended and it would be interesting to see where they could take it next. There are still many questions unanswered. Its definitely my favorite after the first Saw.

8/10

[FireCaptain4]

I know I have a habit of asking this quite often, but would those who have already seen the picture mind forming a “Best to Worst” list for the Saw franchise? I'd like to see where Saw VI ranks approximately. Then again, saying it's better than Saw IV and V isn't that reassuring for me just yet. Those two films are the reason I don't feel much like seeing this sixth one in theaters.

[zombievictim]

Well I'd rank them like this: 1,2,6,3,5,4

And I quite enjoyed this last one. Possibly even more than 2.

I'm surprised a lot of you didn't like Saw IV. I recently rewatched it yesterday since 2 years ago in theaters and it surprisingly held up really well. I enjoyed it a lot. It's a great origin movie.

[Bourne101]

Saw VI - 5/10

I guess it was alright. Better than IV and V I suppose. I like that it tied all the loose ends up and left us with very few questions. I also think it is the most intense of the Saw films since the first two. The new director gave a bit of a different look and feel to some of the scenes (using red/yellow color as opposed to the typical green) which was quite effective in making me feel uneasy. There are many problems though. The acting is pretty terrible, the dialogue is weak, it is very repetitive and similar to the previous few entries, and they seem to be running out of ideas. I liked the whole health care system incorporation idea, but it wasn't executed very well and the scene where John goes to talk to the health insurance guy was terribly written. While I did like the ending it seems more like an ending that would accompany the final entry in the franchise. If there are going to be more entries I would have liked to see more of a twist and cliffhanger. There really isn't a twist, save for a few minor things that were kind of obvious at around the half way point. At this point they're going to have to build a whole new story or bring back other characters from previous entries. This should be the final entry.

[MisterTwister]

My favorite Saw film after Saw III, Saw VI was fantastic. Even though I really liked Saw V it was definitely the weakest for me. Saw VI outdoes that one in everyway possible and has some of the most brutal traps yet. I also liked how the story involved health care people.

Oh and...

Did anyone love seeing Jigsaw, Amanda and Hoffman in the same scene?

9/10

[Mr. Fred Krueger]

Just got back from seeing it, and I came out very satisfied. Saw V wasn't bad, but it definitely didn't cover much in new ground, nor did it answer my many questions. Saw VI wraps everything (well almost ;) ) up very well, and the traps were ace to boot. And not to spoil anything, but definitely loved the health care aspect.

If you're a fan of the franchise, definitely check it out.

8/10

[NuclearMisfit]

I absolutely hated Saw 5 but I absolutely loved this one, just an amazing sequel.

I loved

How we got to better understand the characters and the reason why they did what they did.

I absolutely loved the John Krammer Scenes

I felt pity for Amanda and understood her actions better

The traps were really really cool

Hoffman finally got his, I was getting angry at him being so kill happy.

[Jig Saw 123]

This movie actually made me like Hoffman's character, which I hated in Saw IV and V, I liked that he went on a mini killing rampage.

[anakinsrise]

By now your either a fan of the SAW series or not.
I watched the first two films watched bits of three to five on cable
I had a few hours to kill before work so why not check out the latest entry
It's been interesting to watch Jigsaw / John teach people life lessons through bloody means,Saw VI is no exception.This time he goes after jerks in the health insurance biz ,who are screwing over beneficiaries through minor clauses in their policies.
I thought this was an interesting route to take since health care is a major topic of discussion these days.
Hoffman's part of the story was just ok,always great to see Betsy Russell as Jill
(still hot 26 years after the flick Private School!!) remaining loyal to Jigsaw / John
The violence is bold,bloody,intense and still pushes the envelope and not for the faint of heart.If your into it not a bad way to kill 90 minutes.

It's not so much that this movie is bad so much that it's the same old, same old. Some intriguing moral quandaries, but let's get real here. The movie isn't interested in any kind of moral complexity. It's only interested in the grisly violence. And this is one dark, ugly movie (figuratively and literally). Plus, some of the annoying stylistic editing stuff that was blessedly absent in the fifth installment makes a comeback here. And the ending wasn't remotely surprising at all. The weakest movie of the franchise.

5/10

[Chillingworth]

I dug it. It was definitely a step up from 4 and 5, and although it can be argued that that ain't saying much I thought it was better than average. The traps were decent, but to be honest coming up with cool traps at this point is a challenge that I don't think any filmmaker can face successfully. We're so used to the concept now that no matter what they do, it's gonna seem like more of the same. This is why I think part 7 should be something of a departure from the first six. Here's what I would like to see happen (spoilers):

Hoffman's all deformed in the face now, and somehow or another the police find out about him. Maybe he botched that whole setting up Strahm for those two cops he killed or something. In any case, he's underground now and hiding from the cops, sorta like Jigsaw was in parts 2 and 3 but not sick. He's pissed, and has progressed almost completely beyond Jigsaw's code now and is his own monster. He still uses traps and such, but they're far more brutal and don't have a way out. For some reason he decides to go after everyone who's ever survived a Jigsaw trap, including the people who survived in 6. There were what, three of them? But anyway, he does this throughout the flick and maybe it focuses a little on the cops trying to catch him, and it all works toward the very end where something happens that everyone's been waiting for: Dr. Gordon returns. This sets up part 8 to revolve around Hoffman placing Gordon in a prolonged trap, sorta like with Rigg in part 4. Maybe Gordon ends up surviving somehow, and 9 is about him and Hoffman squaring off somehow, more a meeting of the minds than a physical type of thing. The next three should revolve around Hoffman and leave Kramer behind almost entirely, but bringing Gordon back is the perfect way to keep it sorta tied in more. Anyhoo, I'm sure absolutely none of this will happen and I'm just rambling for no reason, but bleh. There is plenty that can still be done with this franchise, in my opinion, and a movie a year for the next six years would be just dandy with me. No matter what they do, the original will still stand and there's no reason to get that vehemently anti-Saw, "enough is enough" mentality. Just don't watch 'em if you don't want to, but there's plenty of people who would like to see more. I like the serial aspect of it, it's very unusual. Even the Friday's and Nightmare's, which came out roughly every year in their heyday, didn't really utilize their "to be continued" aspect the way Saw has. It's a whole new model, doing a series this way, and I for one dig the hell out of it. Even the weaker parts, like 4 and 5, have the redeeming value of being just one piece in a bigger picture.

Anyway, yeah, I liked 6 more than I thought I would. I'm not a very big fan of the political subtext, and I disagree with the point of view it's presented from, but still recognize that it was a pretty smart move injecting it into this movie. But I hope they drop it with the next one and make Hoffman just a fuckin maniac. The "layers" and shit to these movies are somewhat played out, the next one should just go balls-to-the-wall insane, with more horror and less moral. Here's how I rank them:
1. Saw 2
2. Saw
3. Saw 3
4. Saw 6
5. Saw 5
6. Saw 4

[XCoRyX]

Just finally got around to watching Saw V, out of boredom and random interest to catch up in case I get around to once again,being bored and watching the newest entry,VI.

I dug V just like I did all of the Saws...its weird and odd to explain how I am with this series...I end up enjoying all of them and think they continue to kick ass,but when they are first released I never am excited or interested, I always end up watching them one random bored night.

Betsy Russel is one of the most beautiful creatures ever created for visual consumption, i don't know how many times i, you don't need to know that. She is still a vision of impossible sensuality, no doubt the film has been elevated to must rent now:)

[ilovemovies]

If she is enough for you to watch then you'll be satisfied I suppose. She has a decent amount of screen time here.

[Heisenberg]

^^ Fuck off spammer^^

Well, I went back and watched this series. I have been harsh to it in the past, without actually seeing 4 and 5. (most of 4 though)

I'm not gonna lie, It was enjoyable. I guess that is because I watched them back to back, so I got the full story in one. But I like the twists this series has, and the traps are very smart.

I'll most likely see 6 out of curiosity, plus my buddy was asking me to go see it with him. Here's hoping it's decent.

Saw - 7/10
Saw II - 7/10
Saw III- 8/10

Please report it next time instead of telling it to fuck off. ;)

Sorry Tweek, I presumed it had allready been reported. :)

I'll do my duties next time.

[bigred760]

I really enjoyed the movie. It had intensity, a good story, interesting characters, and the ending . . . while a little predictable, still had me on the edge of my seat and watching every second. The torture sequences were great - especially the lawyer in the maze one and the six lackeys chained to the merry-go-round one. And I was interested in what happened to Jigsaw's protege, and the investigation surrounding him. All aspects of the movie were at the very least interesting and worth watching. This was much better handled than Saw V, and I would consider this one of the best of the series.

7/10

[drc5145]

I saw it last night and I'll admit I was surprised. I have only seen Saw 1 through 3 and skipped 4 and 5. IT didn't take all that much to catch up though and I actually ended up liking it more than I thought. I thought it was a pretty interesting idea to make it topical by surrounding it with the health care debate. The dialogue is pretty hokey and acting is up and down but I was still entertained and engaged until credits rolled.

I consider myself a pretty big Saw movie fan. I respect those who are not the biggest "fans" of the franchise but are still willing to see the movies.

This wasn't my favorite of the Saw movies, I will say that it had a much better plot than V. After watching V, I just felt they were really stretching the plot thin and just making sequels to make a quick buck. However, the inclusion of the whole "Health Care" system idea in VI was great, really hit home.

One thing I have not liked since Saw III is:
The first two movies' traps were designed for the person to do something to themselves in order to learn and escape. Dr. Gordon and Adam had to cut off their legs, the barb wire trap, Amanda's first trap. Even the Saw II's traps were designed for each person to sacrifice something of their own in order to get the antidote. Starting in Saw III, the traps started involving other people while the test subject does not sacrifice that much. Examples: Saw III - Jeff gets some skin ripped off his face while the witness turns into an icicle. I know the lesson that was involved but I just think it has veered away from the original. Saw VI - When the CEO fella had to let go of one of the handles and hang one of his employees. Why does one of those people have to die just so he can "learn" his lesson. Just seems to be not as original as the first Saw.

That being said, with the way things are done now, I liked VI. IV was pretty bootleg in my opinion, V had a much better twist than IV, and then VI was a real good sequel to those two. I really hope they can wrap it up really well in VII.

Question:
The manilla envelope that Jill takes to the hospital, what is that all about? I think she took it to Dr. Gordon's office. It is in a hospital, we don't see the title on the door until we see it through the security camera. I have been waiting since Saw II to find out what happened to Dr. Gordon and if they don't reveal that I might just put my head in Amanda's first trap!

Saw II - 10/10, probably my favorite movie.
Saw - 9/10
Saw III - 7.5/10
Saw V - 6.5/10
Saw VI - 6.5/10
Saw IV - 6/10

I honestly think that this series needed to end after #2. Sure every film since, including VI, has had it's share of squirm scenes, but beyond that they hold little to no weight.

SAW VI is the point in the series where I'm starting to second think myself if I should continue with the series anymore. I have to admit, the movie is better than SAW V, but the set up in here is oh-so-familiar: A guy wakes up and finds himself in a grimmy old room where he has however many minutes to complete however many tasks to survive or whatnot. I've never been bothered by this set up until now.

While watching the film, I found myself bored and slightly uninterested in what's going on on screen. The funny thing is that the film is less about the infamous traps and more about attacking on the issues of the health care and economy, which makes SAW VI the most relevant in its series. And yes, I think the addition of these issues puts a fresh spin to the series, along with the fact that I find these issues interesting.

But what I hope for SAW VII is for it to do something different than a person awaking in a room to do a series of tasks. Saying that, I do like that this film did tie a lot of the plot lines made since the third film. I also liked seeing the returning of some old faces. However, the best thing of all is the last ten minutes of the film. It's truly jaw dropping and the ending is one of the best cliffhangers I've ever seen in this series in a long time.

So yes, I probably will be seeing SAW VII next year not only because of the cliffhanger ending but because the filmmakers fixed their mistakes since the fifth film. The series is headed toward the right direction yet this is me being completely generous because I wasn't all "wow'ed" by it until the last ten minutes of the film. It's a decent addition to the series and the fans of the series will definitely like it. 5.5/10

My local cinema was showing Saw 6, American Werewolf, the Thing & My Bloody Valentine for Halloween so i bought the first 5 saws on dvd to catch up. I enjoyed them a lot more than i thought i would, nothing really special but all of them where pretty solid and usually had a decent twist in the end. Saw 6 was pretty much the same, i enjoyed it. Didn't guess the twist before it was revealed and was pretty entertained throughout. They can keep making them as long as they want as far as im concerned.

When is the suffering going to stop?

No really

A movie good
2 movies... yeah well..not that good
6 now?
They want 8 or so? Come on.... I was watching earlier Saw 6, I can't even remember the other ones
It's a twists and awww he died No no He's Alive
This movies are starting to be a cheap excuse for bad violence and screams and M.Night Twists, THE WHOLE MOVIE
I'm the first one to love violence in movies
But this...
This is a waste of money
And this is what is called ruining something good

I'm pretty much sick of this saga, series whatever it likes to call itself
And i believe I'm not alone...

Some1 must stop these people...

This is a waste of money
And this is what is called ruining something good

Then stop going to the theaters to watch them.

[Dazkun]

First of all I didnt mean a waste of my money

I meant a waste of general money that could be used in any other movie, ideea whatever

And about ruining something good
I meant
As lots of the other posters said, Saw 1 Was Awsome, was new was great, Saw 2 Yeah was still ok,
But then
We got the abuse of an idea that should've ended in 2 movies...
