SAW Series
Posted: Thu Nov 04, 2010 4:10 pm
It seems to me that most people who have watched the SAW series fall into one of four categories.
1. Only saw the first and/or second and stopped watching out of disinterest.
2. Hated all of them/the ones they've seen.
3. Loved them for the most part, really involved in the story.
4. Only liked the gore.
Up until this last one, SAW 3D, I was actually in the 3rd category. Sure, I enjoyed all the gore, but I really was compelled by the story that powered the whole franchise. I was more than a little disappointed with how the last one went. The movie pretty much abandoned all semblance of a coherent plot and just went entirely with senseless gore. It was so bad, I think it may have tainted the entire franchise for me. I honestly don't know if I can even enjoy the ones I used to knowing that it all culminates in such a shitty finale.
Anyone else watch any of the movies?
