I think making a 5 and 6 might be going a little over the top.. Then again I thought 3 would be going too far but it totally reinvented itself.. So they will haveto step it up if they want to keep sales going past 4.
I hated the first one; good story, but bad acting ruined it big time. 2nd one was better, but had a lot of cheese. I thought the 3rd was the best, solely based on the ridiculous amounts of gore. I only watch horror movies for the entire package of a good plot, good gore, and at least semi-decent acting, or for ridiculous amounts of gore. I'll have to watch the trailer when I'm not on dial-up, heh.
see i loved the first one. i could overlook the kind of sub-par acting because the rest was so fucking cool. i thought 2 dominated, and 3 was almost as equally dominating. this will probably end up like the Hellraiser series, in that there are like 8, but no one cares past 4.
The one thing that killed Saw I the most was the fact that the stupid guy who you think is JigSaw for a good part of the movie says in the first 5 or 10 minutes of the movie, "Oh, yes...that's John. He's a very...unuuusual patient." I mean come on, why would he say it like that unless the patient was a key character? Bad acting is ok in most cheesy, gory horror movies, but things like that kill the plot for those who are paying attention.
fair enough. i agree that the plot was almost given away then, but majority of people aren't quick enough to pick up on that. damn your scrutinizing eyes!
Seriously, did anyone here NOT know that the dead guy in the middle of the room was the killer within the first 30 seconds? Seriously? I dunno, the "I saw it coming from a mile off" plot twists is what killed Saw for me. The traps were cool, I guess
i had this suspicion that he played a major role, but i try not to watch movies like that. i like the movie to show what happens, instead of figuring it out like 5 minutes in. that detracts too much from what could be a good movie. if you watch Saw for what it is, its awesome. but yes with shifty, peering eyes, the movie does give itself away and show its flaws.
This guy ruined any hope of my enjoying the first Saw, and if it wasn't him, than the guy who looked just like him.
He sucks at trying to sound American, so his acting was ultimate cheese. Especially, "DAMN YOUUU BASTAAARRRDDD!!!!" I felt like crying when he yelled that.
