I don't give a damn how much Danny "Too Old For This Shit" Glover is the shit, his character served absolutely no purpose in the plot. What aspect of the plot did he affect?

Well, I guess he introduced the doctor to the story of the psychopath pretty well.. and he did a bit to make you think your knew what was going on at the end.

lets see...danny glover was on point...i dont care what anyone says, danny glover is the man.

I think most of the acting was decent except for Elwes part.....some of the stuff he said and the part where he was crying were just so hilariously bad. During a moment where you are suppossed to feel sympathy for the character but you end up laughing....then something is being done wrong.

i kinda liked the guy who played adam although he was somewhat annoying during the but whole movie, near the end you end up liking his character for some reason.

anyways....pretty damn good movie nonetheless.

Even Elwes was fine. Too many people on the internet take immense pride at being able to pick apart something that's not an absolute masterpiece. This is a pretty good movie.

I was laughing the whole movie just about. Wow, fucking terrible.

SAW more like SUCK am I rite


The acting was terrible. "MY FAMILY NEEEDS ME!" "BASTARD FUCK!", the plot was crap. There were just too many times where Zaff (or whatever the hell his name was) was about to get killed and just got out of the situtation. The worst, and funniest, was when they played some scenes in fast motion. The car "chase", for example, was so fucking funny. I was literally lol.

It would have been a little bit cooler if that awesome mask wasn't a god damn manniquen. That was another funny part.

Camera flash scene was kinda cool, and the manniquen laughing was a bit scary, but overall it was more funny than scary.

I love it how the characters remember nothing about how they could have gotten in the room, and then all of a sudden it all came flowing back in an ultra-detailed flashback.

um....i agree. I dont think my post ever stated that he served a great purpose to move the plot.

he just acted his role well and he is the fuckin man...he is just one of my fav. actors from when i was a kid.

peace

Good point. Especially on the fast foward part. It's like that Simpsons episode when Homer was editing 'Mr Smith goes to Washington.'

"Now lets put this part on fast mode, everyone loves that!"

The ending of this movie brought it all together. The whole movie is just one big anticipation ride and the final scenes bring all together well. How many of you saw that ending coming? Be honest...seriously. To be honest i see alot of complaints about the movie not being scary, well Seven was great but it wasnt scary either, it was just fucked up, just like SAW. There are two scenes that are just bad where some people in any normal situation would've been owned those are my only 2 gripes. The acting was ok, not great, watching Danny Glover go nuts over the course of the movie is funny though. The movie does make you laugh, cause the guy behind it all is one sick fuck, and drives everyone nuts. I was laughing my ass off for the final scenes. Why? Because the jigsaw killer had just driven everyone insane by that point it was great. Good movie very enjoyable.

No one is bashing the ending. I thought it was decent. But a good twist ending doesn't automatically make a movie good.

I really wish this movie had better acting. It would have been 200% better without the overacting and crappy ass dialogue. :(

Good thing you added the jk. Twist ending makes a movie better, doesn't make it great.

And the 'speeding through the scene' scenes. I went to see the movie for the grusome kills, and the director puts the 'artsy' blur on. It's like someone who watches porno movies, but fast forwards through the sex scenes.

goddamit, Griese!
wow...haven't seen such opposite reactions to a movie in a long time.

yesterday, two of my friends: "HOLY SHIT DUDE, YOU HAVE TO SEE SAW. IT'S SO FUCKING GOOD. I'LL GO SEE IT AGAIN WITH YOU"

and then today, one of my friends: "yeah, so i went to see Saw. fucking miserable. it was so bad."


and reading this thead....yikes. TIME TO DOWNLOAD

The movie was not bad. Only the acting. I was trying--SERIOUSLY--not to laugh after
Lawrence went insane
. I mean, it was so sudden.
I liked Adam, though.

EDIT: Well, I can't say that the acting was bad. It was just their shitty lines. They were pretty much on point.
