SAW VII will be the final SAW film

[itsmeJonB]

If you actually pay attention to the films and watch them, rather than taking them as just a casual Halloween holiday scarefest like the Freddy, Jason, Leatherface, etc. movies were, then you start to notice things to question.




At least somebody in this thread is being optimistic and not a total douche. Kevin Greutert did an amazing job on SAW VI, I'm excited to see what he brings to the table this year. I wasn't a fan of Hackl's work, I'm glad he wasn't kept as this year's director.

I'm not implying that you're a douche for stating your opinion, so if you're going to comment about my opinion about your opinion, at least properly analyze it. I'm stating that I asked politely for no negative comments, and then 99% of this thread is nothing but SAW bashing. Ever heard of the old saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"?

Besides, Friday The 13th, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Halloween, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, all of these movies spawned over at least 9, in some instances 12 or 13, sequels, and nobody remembers these movies as "Shitty gore movies", and nobody complains about the sequels. Hell, there are even shitty horror movies like The Hitcher(Original) which spawned ridiculous sequels that nobody complained over. I think the only reason that anybody bashes and hates on the numerous SAW sequels is because the story is actually complex, in-depth, and builds on it's cast rather than just showing you a guy and then killing him off about 5 seconds later, so a lot of the people who watch the movie don't understand it.

I'm sure not only did people complain about the plethora of sequels but they are also forgotten because of how much garbage came out of them.

Also its hard to get people to not voice they're opinion on an open forum

Nobody has forgotten the classics like Freddy, Jason, etc. and the mass amounts of sequels that followed them, or at least not the true horror genre fans. SAW is already on it's path to being a classic like the other films were, it's just not quite there yet. It's already broken world records, and people already look at Jigsaw as a horror icon. They based Halloween Horror Nights 2009 on Jigsaw. I think people hate SAW because of the level of complexity and the inventiveness and originality of it. It's not just some psycho in a mask tearing up bodies and killing people, the man has justification behind his situations, which aren't even always considered murder, and there is backstory and substantial character development and such in the films. People just can't accept things like this anymore. They want the same old boring stuff in their movies, which is also exactly why people dislike M. Night Shyamalan's films.

I've seen them all, and watched them spiral downhill...but there was nothing negative about my question. I simply asked what questions were left un-answered thinking you'd maybe answer my question instead of whining.

I thought the first 2 were good btw.

I saw the the fifth one in theaters while getting head. The opening scene didnt let me stay hard for very long

A kid reading secret messages off cereal boxes is the kind of thing people hate about M. Knights movies now. And Saw started off as basically putting people in intense and threatening situations to make them appreciate what they had and want to live and do better. I liked the movies back then. But, for example, in Saw 6. How many people on the carousel were sentenced to death? It wasn't a game, they were murdered.

Well I apologize then. There are Many questions left unanswered, for example, did Dr. Gordon survive? What happened to Daniel? Did Addison survive? What was Jigsaw's first ever trap? There are hundreds of questions if you watch the movie and fully pay attention. I have to reply to your other post seperately. I'm replying on a iPhone.

I agree that the carousel trap, and many others, are becoming more about murder than morals, but some still stick to the original formula. Not to mention, we usually get more backstory.

Bringing this thread back just to say one thing. For the first time in seven years, I'm actually going to say this: SAW VII was the worst one of all seven movies. If anybody is planning on seeing this or renting/buying it, save yourself the money. It's DEFINATELY not worth the money.

I'll see the 3d one when it is out for purchace.
But I've begin to grow very tired of the idea..

 

[Dodge_Sniper]

SAW VII is the 3D one. It's being billed as "SAW 3D" but the actual title as far as the series goes, and as far as linear events goes is SAW VII. It still takes place in the same time frame of events and has the same characters. The 3D title is just a way for Lionsgate to try and rake in more money. Trust me though, it's not worth the money. I wouldn't get it if I were you.

Ill rent it then... I'm a horror movie geek so ..
Plus I love 3D a am a Professional Digital Artist amongst other things but its my passion

Finally saw it. I have to say, it isn't as bad as what I was told and what I read, but still not really worth the money that would normally be spent buying it. But still a pretty decent movie. Not a complete waste of time, but in all honesty, it's just not quite up to par with the other films in the series.

I really enjoyed the first one, and the second and third weren't terrible, but it started to seem like they were tacking on storylines left right and centre just to get in 90 more minutes of people dying in gruesome ways. The first one was inspired, but everything in Hollywood becomes just another cow for milking once it does well.

 

[Dodge_Sniper]

I have to agree. Once they got past the fourth film, in my opinion, they kinda just gave up on their creativity and were just in it for the money. The first four were, and always will be, the best films of them all.
