Just saw it (haha pun 😐), was actually pretty good. One of the better ones in the series. It leaves a nice clean slate for the next one.
Although one thing I found odd....
Spoiler:
it shows Hoffman helping Jigsaw put everyone into the room from the beginning of Saw 2, but in Saw 2 Obi was the one to kidnap everyone....
Is there a big twist this time around? Someone told me it was to do with
Spoiler:
one of the last traps, with the surviving victim realising they needed all of them(because all the traps could have been completed without anyone dying) to get through the last trap easier than just with one person? and that there is no big person reveal like the last few movies.
Spoiler:
mmm... I am a little disappointed with this latest installment of Saw dudes, yeah the movie itself was great and I loved seeing how Hoffman and Jigsaw linked up (even tho the character of Jigsaw I know wouldnt of usually done that).To answer an earlier question, yeah it was Hofman helping move the traps and people into position, BUT Obi only kidnapped them. I can imagine Obi kidnapped them all and then got drugged himself, Jigsaw just used them.
The ending was kinda rubbish this time round, the twists are getting a little obvious. I dont see what the ending was actually about in Saw 5... yeah we knew Hoffman was the bad guy... so what else is the twist. Fair enuff we find out that Straumm shouldve went into the box when told. But the flashbacks at the end which show clips of the movie are kinda not-needed hiuh?
Spoiler:
oh and about the 6th, the 2 people left from the Saw V game will have something to do with it I would imagine, and who will the good guy be? It kinda sucks that all the characters I actually loved have all been killed ie Rig, Matthews, Straum.... its annoying.Will it be the head FBI agent who found the 2 final people of the game and also found Straumms "phone"

Dude, instead of SPOILER, do the tags [spoiler] [spoiler] just add the / in front of the last spoiler.What? Jigsaw was still the original person from the start of the series, like I said...
no need for me to add spoiler when it was an educated guess. just like me guessing hoffman was behind saw 4, another educated guess.
however what u said was true but so is what i said

I thought Saw 5 nicely wrapped up the whole series, the ending didnt really leave any loose bits to come back to. As far as the 2 survivors, they dont know who set them up, so he wouldnt have to come back for them...it would kinda be lame for them to survive the game only to get screwed over again.
But since Saw 6 has been green lighted, I've no idea what it could be about. Doubtful the FBI guy will be involved, unless he has some dark secret thing he has to pay for. They really should end the series now, but Ill still pay to see the next one srug

jigsaw told hoffman in 4 that he won't go untested. so its something jigsaw has instore for him
Wait a minute... something that I was thinking of today, boggles my mind and needs answered
Spoiler:
The beginning of Saw 5, when Hoffman's sister's ex-boyfriend/killer is mounted on the table (before the pendulum starts swinging), the video comes on and explains "the rules" but hey.... its John Krammer's voice and NOT Hoffmans.... but Jigsaw had nothing to do with this trap huh?You can tell it aint Hoffman's voice because you can hear his "tape" recording at the end with Straumm.
Just something that is bothering me

Spoiler:
how did jigsaw know hoffman did it.
Just saw Impediment's post and I'm the same. I got 2 free tickets to Saw 5 and I threw them in the bin at work. I think Saw is a good film because a couple of Aussie's wrote it and it and directed it. And for a couple of Aussie's to make Saw for their first film is pretty good. But Saw 2 killed the franchise for me. It was dead set pathetic. All the characters were annoying as. And the twist with Amanda was just stupid. Part 3 had some decent traps and gore but that was it, the whole plot of the Saw films went to shit after part 2. I haven't seen Part 4, never will. And I will never see part 5. I'd rather waste an hour and a half of my life watching Grease.
Dude I think you should suck it up and watch 4 and 5, I would go nuts if I didnt see the end of a franchize (even if you think it sucks really bad).
I dont think 2 was stupid at all, I would probably say that is my favourite. Thw twists were great.
However, by Saw 4 it had stretched a wee bit but its still a great movie to see how Jigsaw became the how he was and the stuff with his wife.
