While this is still a watchable, well acted movie that continues on the Saw tradition well I have to give it a lower rating because it just was not as good as the previous installments. The plot and the traps that... Full review

Saw V was nothing more than a complete and utter dissapointment. You could tell it was not written by the same people who wrote Saw 1-4. Most of the movie focused on the police department and scheming, rather than the torture... Full review

This movie was so bad that I don't even know where to begin. I just want to say right now that the series should've ended with Saw 3, WHEN JIGSAW DIED!!!! Don't make two more movies showing a backstory of "what... Full review

Well, even though I was quite wary of this sequel (as I am of any series that goes past a third installment), I must say that Saw V is still pretty good. However, this might be one for fans only. The... Full review

Of all the SAW films so far this has to be the worst! Where all the others had twists you could never see coming or endings that nearly everyone was shocked by this film was a massive letdown. There was no... Full review

Given that the Saw films are notable for their unexpected plot twists, the fact that this was the most predictable one makes it difficult to see why it scored the "You won't believe how it ends" tagline. Otherwise, it's decent. It... Full review

To say the least, I was NOT disappointed. I enjoyed the film as much as I thought I would. Going in, I had some doubts, what with a new director and this being a fifth installment in a horror series (they... Full review

You can only watch someone waking up confused, then angry, then being told about how they have to pay back their debt to society... so many times. They wasted about an hour of doing flash backs from previous movies... if you... Full review

I am not sure where or why all the negative reviews came out, but this movie was nothing lower than a B- movie. Listen - it's a SAW movie!! What do you expect?? A quick, heart-racing beginning?? Plenty of blood, gore,... Full review

Like most horror movie franchises, Saw has reached the point where it's getting ridiculous. For Friday The 13th it was pt. 5, for Halloween it was part 6, for Nightmare On Elm St. it was part 4. Yes, the traps in... Full review

the Saw movies are my personal favorite horror movie series, the best parts are the twists at the end.
i think they keep getting better and better [1 being the least, 4 being the best] imo, but they're all good, i love it, cant wait, its a definitley Must See movie Dude, if you can't predict the ending of these movies half way through them

I want to play a Game" possibly one of the best movie lines to run a solid chill up any spine ever.
To me me it's one of the few horror movies that actually is well written and very creative.I only hope it wont make that horrible turn like so many classic's before it(Halloween,Friday the 13th ETC.

The first one had a great mind-blowing ending.
Saw II had a decent twist ending.
This is getting quite ridiculous...
This is going to be very lame...
