Saw 4

cleared a lot up, so saw 3 and 4, were running both at the same time, so no progress just another side of the story.
 
I saw it tonight and loved it. I think its the most hardcore film to watch though as a pretty good knowledge of 1-3 are required for anyone to fully enjoy it. I thought it was great how it all linked together though and the ending couldn't of been any better!

The only criticism I can think of is casting two very similar looking characters as law enforcement people.

All in all though 8/10.
 
This isn't a flame so don't jump on this post.

I've seen 1 & 2 and to be honest I've no desire to see the other two. I understood the storyline but to me the series seems just to be an excuse to showcase lots of gratuitously violent ways to kill people. Am I missing some underlying meaning to the plot or do other people think the same as me?

I think seeing Saw 4 in a lot of ways might give you a different perspective! It goes quite a way in explaining what turned him into the serial killer he is today and why he does what he does (his justification behind it etc).

edit: Although yes being a modern horror film technically yes it does push the limit, but for a lot of people thats part of the charm.

I agree with you completely in regards to the 3rd film, the 4th however while still overly violent in some cases has a much richer story than that of the 3rd and helps understand the story a lot more.
 
SPOILERS


After seeing the film I think I should rewatch #3 and then see #4 again when its on DVD to place the timeline 100%, was it only the autopsy part that was out of sync with all the rest following the same timeline as #3?
 
Not actually seen the film yet, but a mate at work seen it last night and could'nt stop raving on about it this morning. He did say that I should watch 3 to 'refresh' my mind before watching the 4th film.
 
Just been reading through Tobin Bells (Jigsaw) wikipedia page and it says hes signed to do 5 Saw films so expect a Saw 5 next year ;)
 
Went to see this one friday and at no point did i even have a clue it was running at *** same time as 3, the end threw me and the gf massively because of this, i see now what happended but it was really hard to follow, just a massive gore fest.
 
Bah!

after stating I've got no desire to watch Saw III & IV earlier in this thread, guess what the mrs came home from work with last night...yep you guessed it Saw III xtreme edition. Looks like I've gotta watch it afterall or face being called a wimp for the next ten years:mad:
