SAW V, a rant - how shit is it?

News Movie?! Never heard of it at all ... I take it this is the new piece of fetid shit they're voiding upon the world?

two words "cashing in" Ive only seen the first two saw films,and as has already been said on here the original was a genius bit of mold breaking film,scary,tense & it didnt have a happy ending for a change!the second was a decent enough film,but it had already started wandering into 'gory for the sake of it' territory by then which really turns me off films these days.I wont go and see the other ones,they're just blatant dead horse flogging with elaborate,sick & unnecessary sequences of people being tortured & killed,i guess thats why they keep pumping them out though because it rakes in the cash from gore obsessed teenagers,as did the friday the 13th & freddy films when i was a teenager,and they were a load of crap too through adult eyes

When you were a teenager? In the 1980s?! You mean a child, like myself. lol Anyway, SAW III is good I say, it ties up a whole bunch of loose ends, and hooks back over the first two movies quite well - although it is rather violent/gory, so you'd probably be a bit "eugh", but Saw III really is quite good I think - they should have left it there. Connected to that, the number of times I've heard folk saying/writing that IV was loads better than III is retarded - and it makes no sense, because that's blatantly wrong. IV was a sloppy, completely nonsensical mess. III tied a lot of stuff up, and the flashbacks to 'unseen' stuff relating to the first film was done really well. In Saw V though, all this hooking back over the previous films, has just become retarded and preposterous - just like the traps/tests themselves. Saw V was better than IV though ... but IV was complete poo-balls, so it's not saying much. I am flabbergasted that hellsing can be so carefree and easy with Saw V, but he made such a fuss about watching Batman Begins, because it was "another origin story". That boy ain't right...

The original Saw is the one and only. I 'saw' the second movie and that was enough for me. The preposterous idea that Shawnee Smith could convincingly portray a serial killer mastermind should have been enough for everyone. Anybody not bright enough to stay away from movies sporting Roman numerals after the title has no right to complain. Why are these films even still being called SAW? At least with the first film, there was a point to that title.

nah i wasnt a teen in the 80's,but it wasnt til i was in my teens that i got to see such films!and after all the hype & schoolyard discussions,when i saw them i thought they were crap! gore in films doesnt bother me when its used in the right context,such as the realistic effects of ballistics in modern war films,or the levels seen in Predator or the descent & such like,but im not into these films that are essentially torture porn like hostel,i think its kinda disturbing they're making films like that to cater for people who seem to get off on it
