The Saw

**arthurb999** · 11-07-2004, 10:51 AM

Just saw that movie last night. AWESOME!!! It was ****ed up...
Gets a strong recommendation from me.

Anyone else see it?

**NotSmall** · 11-07-2004, 11:03 AM

I dunno about 'awesome'.
It was mostly pretty good but (without ruining it for others) the ending wasn't too strong IMO.

**SwoleCat** · 11-07-2004, 12:15 PM

I thought it was a big letdown.

Sucked to me, could have been FAR BETTER.

Storyline was ridiculously stupid.

Not to mention, as a horror movie, the only thing scary was the price I paid to see it.

i think the acting was horrible and the story line wasnt evn very good. i wasnt impressed at all

**khurrams** · 11-07-2004, 01:01 PM

I know the acting was ridiculously horrible.......especially when Adam pretends to be dead because of the poisoned ciggarete and then he gets electrocuted.....hahaha....I thought that was fvcking funny...But all in all for the sake of halloween it was A.O.K!!!

**Elysium** · 11-07-2004, 01:02 PM

that p.o.s. movie really isnt even worth my typing about it......so im gonna stop......now......

**imann** · 11-07-2004, 02:32 PM

It was directed horribly and the casting was nothing short of haneous.....although it did have some sick a$$ scenes....the GF was scared sh*tless.....made for a good gory movie to take the GF to......would have liked to see more of the razor wire scene...that kinda disappointed me

**Rob** · 11-07-2004, 02:33 PM

Why is EVERYBODY so against the acting in this movie? Because it was horrible...? I thought it was FINE. Not great by all means, but FINE. Read Ebert's review on it ("Well made... well acted"). Cary Elwes is an established actor with 40+ films under his belt..... I'd like to see anyone bashing the acting get in front of the cameras and try to pull off something good. It's not as easy as you might think.

**arthurb999** · 11-07-2004, 05:45 PM

You guys got to be kidding me. I saw both the saw and the grudge and the saw was WAY better. I can't be the only one around who liked it. Since when did everyone become an acting critic...

Yeah no kidding. If you want to criticize some bad acting go watch a porno movie.

**Mart651** · 11-07-2004, 06:29 PM

What a let down folks. I was hoping for better reviews. I was considering seeing it in the Theater but not now.

Agreed.. better than the Grudge...

Overall, I liked it.. wasn't that scary, but to me, the ending was refreshing...

I assure you I'd have turned down the stupid script long before I tried to act that writing out!

See the idea was ok, who was the main actor? He was out of "Robin Hood - Men in tights" Anyone ever see that movie? How can you take him serious after that movie. I mean come on. I dont care what other people say, it was rubbish, just coz someone reviews it and says it has good acting doesnt mean for one second that they speak for the majority.

**Elysium** · 11-08-2004, 07:23 AM

Robin hood - men in tights, very funny film when it was around... now for the guy to do a serious film like Saw after doing comedy is a bold move, and i hope he doesnt do it again coz it didnt work!

He did alright, briefly, in "Kiss The Girls". I liked both "The Grudge" and "Saw". :spudniklu

Haha, that's my point, if the script is weak it's hard for the actor(s) to put out a great performance with the shabby material.

Then SAW should go and attack the screen-writers!
