Is it me or...


They should have just stopped after the first Saw ? I can't stand the sequels, none of them. Ok saw 2 is acceptable but its not dear to me like the first one. the first didn't feel over the top nearly as much as the sequels. i can't be the only one who feels this way. And i like the cast of characters in this one... Michael Emerson baby!

You're not wrong.

I faithfully watched every movie hoping they'd realize that the interesting part of the movies was John Kramer. This movie by itself is brilliance. The sequels left a lot to be desired.

thats exactly why im glad the series seems to be over and the only one i own on dvd is the first and thats not gonna change.

Different strokes for different folks. I actually feel the first three films are all very good modern suspense/horror films, and in fact I find the third film to be arguably superior to the original. Heck, I'll even say I really enjoy Saw VI for what it is, and feel it's a lot of fun and is a good addition to the series. IV, V and VII, not so much (bad movies, but they have their moments and a few inspired scenes)... but I'm personally glad they didn't just stop at one. Even the worst Saw movie is at least entertaining.

And FURTHERMORE, this is my signature! SERIOUSLY! Did you think I was still talking about my point?

To a certain extent, yes. Stopping after the first one would have been good.
To an even larger one, they should have stopped after III.

Yes, i totally agree with you.

Yep. They should have stopped. I love the first film and I like the idea of not knowing what exactly happened to Adam and Lawrence. The sequels just made everyone the bad guy with a not so new twist.

Well, popular films generally tend to have sequels. It's just the way it is now. I never understood the love for Saw 2. I think it's a very standard thriller with even worse acting than this film is claimed to have. I think Saw 3 is much better than 2, but the original is in it's own league.
