[Blackhole]

Doesn't mean it's the best!

Sure it is, the Pound is nearly double the Canadian Buck

SAW SUCKS. Well, at least the sequels do.

 

[thenammagazine]

Wait until Zombieland 2 comes out. The first one spanked the hell out of anything SAW has to offer at the box office.

Well, when you pump out a ____ty movie every year...

I wouldn't even consider it horror. More of a psychological thriller IMO.

 

[Biojex]

first and second ones were pretty good then they started to get a little blegh.

Its the most successful because theres 25 different saw films.

why do people brag about movies making more money than their predecessors that charged half the ticket price in their day?

... what are numerical ticket sales comparisons?

It's amazing how different things look when you compensate for inflation.

^^^ What they said. Impressive though this feat may be, it should be put in its proper context.

And yeah, this series sucks.

I personally think that the first movie was great, aside from the incredibly short shooting schedule hindering performances. Then the sequels sorta range in quality from good to meh. But when you think about it, every major horror franchise had a string of sequels that didn't live up to the original. At least the Saw series stays consistent in tone with the first, unlike some horror sequels. Not saying it's even close to my favorite horror franchise, but still.

They are made for cheap and make money. I've enjoyed them. The next one is said to be the last.

Didn't they say that the last 27 times ?.

 

[EVILFACE]

Nope, when 4 came out they said there would be 3 more and that was it.

The problem for me was when I watched the last one I didn't know who anyone was , these are the type of movies that you have to watch again before any sequels really otherwise you can't really fully understand what's going on.

Do people really watch these for the transparent plot anymore?
