So - is it any good, at all?
I've heard one or two negative reviews, but it seems largely to do with the same problem anyone ever has with the saw films, continuity stuff, confusion, time jumps...etc...

Now, I loved the first saw and don't think any of the sequels have really done it a great deal of justice, but they all have their moments.
#2 was a completely different kind of movie, reminded me a bit more of cube but ultimately an entertaining watch, with a couple of good twists.
#3 was a bit of a let-down I thought, it was very convoluted, and I think easily the weakest of the series - to this day I have not seen it again since the cinema...I was ready to give up on the franchise at this point...it felt deliberately 2-part, which turned out to be the case, because a fair bit of the plot and characters of that film continued on in...
#4 I saw no need to bring the Whalberg character back, I'll say that from the get-go...but I thought this was actually a huge improvement on the film prior.
The proper jigsaw origin story was one of the best scenes/moments of all the saw films...my only problem with this one was that two of the cops looked pretty similar, and in the end I was left wondering who did what, and when - although I think upon a rewatch (yes, I actually think this one is worth rewatching) I'll get all that sorted.

I just don't know what to expect with #5...
Anyone who's seen it - how does it rate against the others?

i dont no i havent seen it yet but hopefully it weill be good cos the others were good but the fourth was ok not a good as the rest
