So I just got done watching Saw IV for the first time. And I'm noticing an element that seems to be running with the movies. They keep getting worse. Now I'm not saying that the Saw movies are bad. After #1 they just aren't worthy of the term good. They are average, the kind of movie you watch to remain entertained for a couple of hours while you're waiting for steam to finish downloading and installing a new game. (or maybe that's just me) But it seems to me like the movies are just gradually trying to see how much they can get away with showing, while remaining under an NC-17 rating. For example.
Saw featured gore, the standard blood and guts stuff. But in an actually entertaining and somewhat realistic (and therefore scary) way.
Saw 2 decided to add in drug use and references
Saw 3 features full frontal female nudity
and finally Saw 4 decided to throw in old man balls, which on the big screen were probably 4 feet of shrivelly testes right up in the front row's face...
What is up with Hollywood today? It's like they are all so horribly unoriginal that they need to milk the same mediocre story as much as they possibly can, while trying to keep the publics interest by being more edgy with each new installment.
Speaking of storylines, who can follow these ones? The only one I could fully understand was the first one. It was about 70/30 on the second. After that the movies literally make no sense at all. You have no idea when or why the events are happening, and unless you feel like spending 20 minutes on the internet searching the movie itself doesn't tell you!
So all in all, I'd say if you enjoy horror movies and have time you REALLY don't care about wasting. Go ahead and check the Saw movies out. But to be honest I'd probably rather watch the Hitchhikers Guide To the Galaxy, seeing as it's easier to follow.
