Line 49:
** Unfortunately is one of the least successful financially because the poor quality of the previous few entries had turned people off the series.
* [[Hate Dumb]]: A TON. It's no secret that the ''Saw'' series is universally loathed by non-fans more often than not (see [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch]]), despite the overabundance of extremely violent action and horror films that have been produced now and in the past.
** The rants against the videogame adaptations are equally vexing. Beyond the legitimate complaints of the games themselves (which mostly fit under various elements of [[The Problem

** The second is more [[Your Mileage May Vary]] but quite a few people are getting behind {{spoiler|Hoffman}} because of {{spoiler|his}} actions in the 5th and 6th movies painting {{spoiler|him}} as a Badass [[Magnificent Bastard]] Determinator who improvises [[Xanatos Speed Chess]] on the fly whenever things start going bad for {{spoiler|him}}. Of course just as many if not more people think of {{spoiler|him}} as a [[Complete Monster]] and {{spoiler|are happy he got his final comeuppance in the finale.}}
