As you can guess by my name, I'm a huge fan of the series. I wouldn't say it's the best Horror series ever, although it is among my favorites, but I think it's a great one for sure. I know it gets a lot of hate but I really enjoyed seeing how it all intertwined and I enjoyed the creativity.
If I were to rank the entire series in my order of preference it would go:
Saw II
Saw
Saw VI
Saw V
Saw IV
Saw VII (AKA Saw 3D)
Saw III
welcome "jigsaw killer"
---
yes... any one see your name ...
he must be sure that you like this series..
but I like the saw 1 more than all ..
because all thing was unmeaning and unclear .....
the scene when "john" get up is a very surprising and unexpectant.....
the 2 is very good but was clear that "john" who play these games .....
in my rank
saw 1
saw 2
saw 3
saw 7
saw 5-6-4 "in the same sorting ...!!!"
________________
I want to discuss with you about all parts .... what is your mind?
I have many questions ...about many parts
and I query that there is a 8 part or not....?
Jigsaw Killer
07-09-2012, 01:38 PM
There's been talk of an eighth movie possibly happening but nothing concrete so far.
thank you for this info .....Alright....
I ask about the girl who was locked up in the second part, "which tried to get on the drug but their hands were suspended in the glass box because of the blades" .... Is it possible to be alive ... and help the saw to do his works....!!!!
----
And ask about "Danieal" the sun of "matios" interrogator ........ ????
---
and in all series what is the most scene do you like?
___
i want to know what is your opinion about these questions?

Saw: Rebirth Prequel Comic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCe03k0HeG0).
Thought I'd share that for any fans. The animated version of the comic is pretty rare, and definitely a cool treat for any fan. I've seen fans discount it as part of the series due to the backstory being contradicted in the fourth film, but I think it can fit in easily enough. Definitely some interesting additional backstory on Jigsaw is provided in it.
I know I posted my ranking before in the series but I think we all may as well post how we rank the series in order of preference. Mine goes: 2 1 6 5 4 7 and 3. The seventh one was something of a letdown after the surprisingly very good Saw VI, but I find it's made better when watched together with the sixth movie, both help to make for a decent series finale.

I've liked SAW since the first movie, own the first six, an action figure by NECA (Jigsaw, Part III, red leather trenchcoat), and even played the first X-box 360 videogame, but I honestly think they shoulda ended it after John died in the third movie. Just my opinion.

For anyone interested, Welshy of That Guy With The Glasses recently started his Saw Retrospective (blip.tv/welshy/saw-retrospective-introduction-6292767) and thus far has covered up to Saw III, he'll be doing the rest of the series soon. Watched all the videos he did so far, not bad.

What is the first game like? Is it just puzzle solving or is there more actual gameplay than that?

It's a little bit of both. You solve puzzles along the way as you navigate through the traps and the environment. The way it ties into the films and fills in some gaps is very interesting.

The first Saw film was a brilliant masterpiece (even if it borrowed a number of things from the Abominable Dr. Phibes). Virtually everything was superb in the first film, story, concept, acting, atmosphere, character development. I would say one of the best films of the 00s. The second was pretty good, but not exceptional. Something had been lost from the first to the second. After that it became more of the same and the kills became more and more brutal. I am not a big fan of the torture sub-genre and tolerated it in the first film because on-screen violence was actually not that bad, but after that the series became increasingly more violent (starting with the second film). So, the first film brilliant yes, even high on my greatest horror movies list, the series as a whole I would have to say no.

On the game topic, actually I played the games before I seen the movie. I was doing some research on games for Christmas and I came across the original Saw game. It looked like it would be an entertaining game, so I got it for Christmas. I played the game and nearly beat the game (and was impressed by the whole game concept of Saw). So, I decided to lift my personal ban on the series and watch the original. I used my free rental space on VUDU and watched it. I was blown away, one of the best films in the mosern era, very original. I eventually saw the second film, but after that it was becoming less appealing, as I metioned. So, yes I have played the game and it was very impressive, I also bought the secind game and it was really good too.

Would you say the second game was better than the first or not as good? From the gameplay footage I watched, it seems a little better.

I definitely agree with 1, 2 and 6 as the top three. I'm still impressed with how surprisingly good the sixth one was. I remember thinking the series wouldn't get another entry as good as the first two for a long time, then low and behold the sixth came along to change that :)

I have been a saw fanatic since the first movie was released in 2004. This is truly one of the most elaborate stories I have come across in Horror Movies. Every movie leaves a trail of clues that intertwines into the story and leaves you thirsty for more. That traps that these people are in are so well through out and well plan i think its truly incredible. I will always have a love for the original trap involving the man in the barbed wire having to fight for his life, but after watching all the movies traps evolve and get far more deadly. I am now a huge fan of the trap with the 2 kids in the town square, when the girl is hanging over the guys and they have to choose to kill each other or the chick. That was brilliant lol Whats your favorite trap? Id love to chat about it!

Love it lol It really is so hard to choose the favorite trap. The Knife Chair was brutal I mean that guy totally deserved it as most of the people who are put to the test but It was horrific to watch that man press his face against the knives. I guess my all time favorite is The Public Execution Trap.
1- The Flammable Jelly
2- The Hand Trap
3- The Angel Trap
4- The Bedroom Trap... only because that man DEFF deserved it lol

Giganticface

For me:
Saw I
Saw II
Saw III
Saw VI
Saw IV
Saw V
Saw 3D.
That's my ranking too. I agree that VI was quite good, and IV pretty good too, especially with the return of Donnie Wahlberg, but the first three had the best twists at the end. Although III was actually a double-twist, which some might say was almost a parody of itself (or at least would make a good SNL sketch... "Saw XIX, the movie with 18 twists at the end!")
I really like the series though and how the movies intertwine. Probably my favorite horror series. Most other horror series have a few total stinkers, but I didn't think Saw deteriorated too much. The final chapter could have ended more interestingly though, and the public trap at the beginning was a little silly.
Jigsaw Killer
04-28-2013, 04:54 PM
The public trap in 7 was pretty pointless and was pretty much just there for gore's sake. But I think put together with 6 the movie makes for a decent finale to the saga.
I always thought interquels set in-between the events of some of the past sequels would've been cool to have seen, and there's much room for it too since there's a six-month gap between Saw II and Saw III+beyond.

Saw 1 was a very good movie. No that gory actually but quite intense and creepy... especially the scene when the "pig-head" was hidden in the closet in the mid movie.
Gore and suspens were very pertinently handled. But maybe I felt like scary because it was the first episod then kind of a discovery and moreover I was quite young in 2004 (13 years old, and I remember I was not totally confidend after having seen it).

I stopped watching them after the 4th one. IMO The story ended at 3 with the death of Jigsaw. I thought that the first three (especially the first one) were well above par examples of the genre but the fourth one, for me, was unengaging and rote. Out of the first three my favourite scare/trap/scene was the chase in the lair in the first one where the cop gets his head blown off by the hidden shotgun. Especially in the unrated cut.

Personally, I am not a big fan of the torture genre. I heard that any beyond two should be explored with caution (in other words, the series is not really that good after two). I heard that six was really terrible. I thought the first Saw was brilliant and the second one was pretty good, but was missing something. Consequently, I view it as good, but that's all. I have not seen any after two.

Same here. I'm not a fan o this type of plot (characters being imprisoned, tortured and forced to solve puzzles) but Saw 1 was intriguing. Maybe that was the main reson behind it's success - it was so original and unexpected when it came out that it earned the reputation that could justify so many sequels.
After reading some posts in this thread I want to give this series another chance. Which movies should I skip and which are recommended (except first one)?

All of the sequels tie heavily into the first movie and build upon various plot points, so you'll want to see all of the sequels. It's also worth noting that each one picks up where the last left off. So you'll want to see all of the sequels at some point.

I agree completely. To get the most out of any single film in the series, you need to watch each movie in order. That's what got me hooked -- the serial nature of it, and how each movie ties together. If you were to watch one movie in the middle of the series, it would be confusing, and much of the effect would be lost. I'm not saying the story and all it's twists and turns is amazing or anything, but it's like one big soap opera, and that's what makes it fun.
Jigsaw Killer
06-27-2013, 02:11 PM
It's very interesting to go through the series again when you've seen them all, knowing how everything goes down and piecing it all together. It's definitely a series you need to watch in order to understand it.
Nates Vault
06-27-2013, 07:20 PM
I have to say (and I hope that I don't draw too much ire here) that when I watched Saw my immediate response was "these people did not have faith in the central conceit of their film". The movie happened in that room as a play between two characters. Every time we were pulled away from that it became less and less interesting.
In all, I thought it was a brilliant idea, nearly pulled off.
The sequels have seemed derivative and schlocky (don't get me wrong, I love me some schlock).
Just my thoughts.

I would say that, just based on acting and liking the characters, the first one would be my favorite. However, I was thrilled to finally see Jigsaw/John and his scenes with the cop. But I couldn't sympathize with the "victims" so that threw me off.

For me the most unlikeable protagonist in the series by far is Jeff in Saw III. I just found him very unlikeable and unsympathetic, and he took forever to make a decision and he didn't seem to learn anything from his test throughout his journey. I found him pretty boring and devoid of any sort of personality or interesting characteristics as well.
I already posted my ranking in order of preference before, but the series for me goes:
2
1
6
5
4
7
3

I do agree about Jeff. I found him a bit annoying also. But you just can't beat the pig scene and brain surgery! I honestly had to almost leave the theatre room during the pig scene, I was getting so nauseated.

The Pig Vat trap I found boring, but I agree the brain surgery was amazing and I also enjoyed the Rack. One of my favorite traps.

I marathoned the entire series all day yesterday as part of my Horror schedule this month. Anyone else marathoned the saga this month or will?

I did that about six months ago on a week long binge that included quite a few series of films ... problem is that after so much viewing I tend to find I forget most of it :D
Not one of my fave sagas anyway by a long chalk.

It's kind of an acquired taste for some with how the storyline changes as the series goes on.

I really like the series for the fact that you get suprised by the ending of them all. When u start watching one of them u feel u got it all figured out but then u get suprised. A little repetetive but the endings is always great. Not many movies has accomplished that. Especially not movies with 7 parts. Thats why i rank saw pretty high.
Jigsaw Killer
10-28-2013, 05:47 PM
Yeah, the series definitely kept you in suspense and on edge throughout and you were always eager to see where it'd go next.

Saw VIII has been announced recently as being in active development, not a big surprise. I had a feeling a new film would inevitably be made. I wonder if we might see it materialize next year?
Jigsaw Killer

I was thinking on the subject of a new Saw film, would you prefer a reboot that completely redoes the storyline or a sequel picking up from 7? I honestly am fine with either. A sequel would be cool to see but the original storyline got stretched pretty thin and the actors are much older, now. I'm honestly not opposed to a reboot done right, as I think a fresh start is what the series could use.

I own them all as well. Got the unrated versions of all seven and also have the theatrical cuts of 1-4 in addition.

I'm pretty excited at the thought of a saw 8 I hope it will take the series in a slightly different direction could be very interesting I look forward to it.
Jigsaw Killer
02-05-2014, 03:41 PM
I wouldn't be opposed to a reboot that's the start of a new canon, I feel the series still has a lot of untapped creative potential that arguably may have been lost along the way with the corner the series got painted into with the third film.
Fearonsarms
02-05-2014, 04:05 PM
I agree there is definitely potential for a different direction but I wouldn't be opposed to a sequel to Saw 7 as such. I also hope it's not another Saw 3. I'm hoping for kind of like the jump from Saw 1 to Saw 2. I mean still have the puzzle solving and some gore but let it be not just about that. I'm sure there will be some sort of twist to the film whichever way they go about it. They could do anything with the franchise now and I'm very interested to see what they do. I don't want to have too high expectations though.
Jigsaw Killer
02-05-2014, 04:09 PM
I wouldn't mind a direct sequel either, I think the way 7 ended there's definitely room for at least one or two more. I would hope they take their time crafting the films and not rushing them and also not using Saws III and VII as a template, the more gore-driven entries. I want the psychological mindgames to return full-force.
Fearonsarms
02-05-2014, 04:35 PM
Yeah there's no reason for it to be rushed. Fingers crossed it's better than parts 3 and 7.

Four years after the last movie, no reason it can't turn out good and among the series best.

Just finished watching the whole SAW collection For some reason I didn't like that Jill died and John told Dr.Gordon to protect/watch over her and didn't do anything till the near end of the movie.

You might want to spoiler-tag that for anyone who hasn't seen the films...
Hope you enjoyed the series, though :) How do you think you might rank them?

I only thoroughly enjoyed the first two Saw's, I pretty much lost interest after the 2nd one. Not sure why though, I'll give the other ones a watch one day.

To be honest I'm not sure if a Saw 8 is the right direction. I don't know, I guess I'd be worried that it wouldn't live up to the rest :) Personally, my order of preference goes
Saw 1
Saw 5
Saw 2
Saw 6
Saw 4
Saw 3
Saw 7

The series is worth catching up on if you liked the first two but sadly the quality took a dive, though 6 came close to the first two.

I just realized the 10th anniversary of the original will be this October. How time flies, doesn't feel like it came out a decade ago at all.
Jigsaw Killer
06-10-2014, 07:46 PM
Saw is only months away from turning 10, how time has flown. I'm surprised the studio hasn't gotten a Blu-ray set of all seven done to mark the occasion, unless they're doing it at a later date. I wonder if anything special will be done for the anniversary, hard to believe such a notable film's anniversary will go ignored.

I am a huge Saw fan and I own them all!! Since I like them all, I don't need to put them in any specific order of how I like them. As far as favorite traps: I believe it was no. 4 when Donnie Wahlberg was smashed like a pancake by 2 giant clear blocks...awesome!!!!

I'm sure there'll be another sequel or a spin-off at some point.
Or a reboot of the franchise in 10 years or so.

Saw the re-release on Halloween, was awesome to see. I've seen Saw a ton of times on Blu-ray and DVD before, but in the theater it's like a brand new movie.
I also recently marathoned the series again a few weeks back as part of my October viewing. My ranking of the series remains the same and likely always will:

Saw 1 was good, Saw 2 was alright but a fun time, 3-5 were preposterous messes that I enjoyed solely for how outlandish and silly they got. 6 & 7, I never saw. But I saw "Jigsaw" for the podcast and boy, did I think it was baaad. This series has jumped the shark for sure, but I'll always appreciate the first for being good, the second for being a fun follow-up & 3-5 for being corny bored late-night fodder.

I love the original but the sequels were lame and screamed of cash grab. Putting out one a year didn't help any either. This latest sequel, Jigsaw was alright but nothing special.

Been a long time since I last posted here. Updated ranking including Spiral and Saw X:
1
2
6
X
Spiral
Jigsaw
5
4
7
3
Saw X was surprisingly very good and certainly far better than it had any right to be. I enjoy Spiral and Jigsaw more than most, and give credit Spiral did something different. I really enjoy the series overall and Jigsaw is definitely among my favorite of the Horror icons. Heck, I like him enough I named my account here after him.
Love or hate the series, got to give it props each film actually did something different and tried to enrich the mythology and develop the characters, and not just merely repeat things. Look forward to Saw XI later this year.
