Saw I through VI

Well, I've been making fun of these for years, so I finally watched them.

Saw (2004) - Watchable, but not scary. Low production quality, terrible makeup (final scenes with Carey Elwes - check the white Kobuki crap going on) and really bad effects. Illogical, but an interesting story. The crimes are very disturbing but not particularly graphic. Carey Elwes is a terrible actor! How was he so fabulous in The Princess Bride - was it an aberration?

Saw II (2005) - Better than the first. Watch the car chases, etc. This is a crack-up. These movies are really made on the cheap! And they are not at all scary - they are sucking people in with the continuing saga of Jigsaw and his manifesto.

Saw III (2006) - Boring and too many long camera shots of feet being twisted off, etc. Hardly watched this one.

Saw IV (2007) - Gross out beginning. Not my thing. Thank GOD for the FF button. I wasn't curious to start with, but now I'm actively bored.

SAW V and VI - I don't care. Cannot bring myself to pop them in.
