Saw V (5/10)

Let’s face it. When it’s the fifth instalment, it won’t be anything that can be considered good. Unless maybe a Harry Potter instalment or, dare I say it, Star Wars. Hey, I liked Attack Of The Clones. Yes, even it’s title. I don’t see what the fuss is all about.

Back to topic. Saw 5 is made for the fans. Because if you’re still watching Saw, you’re definitely a fan. If you’re not a fan, you won’t even bother with anything about it. Much less this review.

And if you haven’t watch the previous Saw movies, you won’t find this fifth instalment interesting. You won’t even get it. Also, Saw V is the first one without Darren Lynn Bousman directing since Saw II.

By now, the story just keeps adding in more bits and pieces and expanding its characters’ storyline (those which are not dead). It’s no longer interesting, just going through the motions for the audience. As for the writers, I guess they should be credited for their creativity in expanding the series to thus far. However, things were getting more and more elaborated.

The ending no longer has the kind of kick the first two instalments had. This particular ending however was the weakest of the series. I think it’s time the writers forget the twist in the future endings and just focus on the storyline.

Yes, there’s already a sixth in the making.
