Saw/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** 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.}}

* [[The Scrappy]]: As the sequel number increases, so do the number of annoying or useless characters. The original ''Saw'' is the only one that doesn't have a scrappy in it. It gets rather frustrating when ''the main character being tested'' is the scrappy. It gets even '''''more''''' frustrating when scrappies are just about [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap|to get out of the heap]], but end up getting killed.

* [[Sequelitis]]: Each fan of the series has his or her own opinion of just where it [[Jumped the Shark]]. Some say it was the second film ("''Saw'' never needed a sequel!"), others say it was the fourth ("the third movie finished the trilogy perfectly!"), and others say it was the fifth ("that movie just plain ''sucked!''"). Averted, however, with the reaction to the sixth film, which many people feel is a return to form for the series. Played straight, however, with Saw 3D, which was almost universally been panned by fans and critics alike.

* [[Special Effects Failure]]: In several shots it's quite obvious that the "glass" shards in the box at the end of ''Saw V'' are actually made out of rubber.
