Saw

ok, i've heard people talking about the ending of saw as being the easy way out (ok people like C-Dic) how do you think the movie should have ended?

The characters involved were fine, it was just that everything was a little too convenient. Cary Elwes should have died, though. Not for his greed, but for being a Ken doll look-alike, and a shit actor.

The ending was perfect. It was a surprise, errie music, and just left you saying "The was crucial".

Yeah, it was a surprise to me..I never would have guessed that to happen...

Yeah, well as I said in another thread, its didint satsifie me at all, and thats bad, that bad guuy should have gotten what he deserved

I liked the ending. The thing I didn't like was how Jigsaw was able to sit still for so long.

Just because somethings a surprise doesn't make it good.

Anyone can think of a bullshit surprise ending, a good surprise ending is an ending that not only catches you off gaurd but ties everything together in the end.

I felt it did tie everything together with a great surprize!! I am a Saw supporter mainly because someone had a great idea for a flick and they went out and made it!! I applaud Lions Gate for there recent run of horror support.

Lion's Gate has always been a stout supporter of horror, but their actual releases have been balls. "Godsend"? "Cabin Fever"? Saw"?

as many times as people are going to restate there opinion about a movie .. i will be there to restate mine.

i liked saw (:

Cabin fever was also a great movie, I agree godsend was horrible, but cabin fever was very well done. cabin fever and saw are both "Another guy with a dream" stories as to how they got the movie made. Cabin fever was an ode to the classics but with its own unique "monster". Bottom line is both with a few exeptions (28 Days Later, Dog Soldiers ect.) Cabin Fever and Saw are the best the horror genre has offered recently.

whats wrong with Carey Ewles (sp??) I remember when he was in Princes' Bride - he was HOT droolio but now ..ok you are right he is a plastic ken doll cry

Elwes acting was by far the weakest part of the flick, Which is a Shame because the Princess Bride is in my top ten flicks of all time!!

horseshit his acting was the worst, Danny Glover stunk like month old fish, he autopiloted the movie. and while people have stated they did/didn't like the ending but they havn't suggested an ending

Call it an "ode", call it an "homage". I call it bullshit, and the epitome, the absolute HEIGHT of uncreativity. Eli Roth is a hack who decided to make a movie with elements of his favorite horror movies, and glue it together with kindergarten paste. Christ. Even "Wrong Turn" limited itself to 2 or 3 movies from which it ripped off. "Crappin' Fever" just went through the horror movie buffet and came back for seconds.

The "unique monster" was the bacteria in drinking water. Far from original. I'm surprised Erin Brockovich didn't make a cameo.

If what you say is the same sentiment that is shared by other horror fans, than that only solidfied my opinion that the Horror genre is even more doomed that I thought.

i thought the little clown guy in Saw was very creepy-- well it creeped me out...

come on C-Dic, answer my question

I don't have a suggestion as to how it should have ended. It doesn't make any sense for a clinically ill man to have been the killer, apparently having been off his meds, laying still on a floor, HAVING JUST WALKED OUT OF A HOSPITAL WITHOUT ANYONE NOTICING...amongst other discrepancies.

Maybe they should have had Cary Elwes' wife as the killer? She sets him up for all his cheating and time away, looking to teach him the ultimate lesson.

I think he did die, if not from his injuries then the killer would have caught up with him, couldn't have been too hard to catch with only one foot.

Anyone notice that when he was "crawling" away, one of his pant legs was considerably longer than the other, to cover his supposed severed foot? I was laughing in the theatre, shaking my head.
