  • saw is the best series ever

  • @aldec5baseball7

    not really

  • @aldec5baseball7 saw is shit as an horror movie. but as comedy its the best series ever.

  • Sounds like Sheldon... Bazinga

  • I actually agree with this review. The first Saw was ok. The only thing that makes it good is the fact Dr. Gordon was in it and is the one to end of the series.

  • 0:04: Hahgahahahahahaha, oh-my God, was that hillarious cut to the musicpart! XDD

  • his voice dives me fucking crazy so someone answer please, did he

    1. like saw(subscribe)

    2.dislike saw(you're a cock sucking asshole and dislike

  • @dogspissonrugs dislike. oh, and you are cock sucker.

  • wow idiot

  • thumbs up if u want him to do saw 2 3 4 5 6

  • Awesome review!

  • ET from the Spielberg movie doesn't scare me. However, the ET from the ET porno is absolutely terrifying.

  • ET's scary, no doubt, but that lone girl playing the drum on the Mandate Pictures film logo gives me nightmares!!

  • Your on Jigsaw's list

  • Learn the god damn story

  • I love how you show to of the dead bodies when you say "this flim is not derpaved, this film is not sick." Saw was a great movie, in know way did you review this movie fairly. Any one who has seen the movie can tell that you are almost basicly lying at some points.

  • @TheCrazyplaying

    Ok, which points? If you're going to accuse someone of lying at "some points" at least point out what points they are.

  • @TheDarkFrontier well anyone who has watched this review could figure it out. If you are going to repeat the Dialogue in the film, atleast say it the way it was said. When he was doing the voices of Adam and Gordon, they did not say anything he says they said, it's like he's trying to dumb the movie down to make it seem worse than it is. He described everything much worse than it was. He does it for entertainment purposes I'm sure.

  • @TheCrazyplaying

    Then he's not lying, he's just doing it for entertainment purposes, yes. But the problem is here, even if the film had outstanding dialogue, it would still be a bad film on plot grounds.

  • @TheDarkFrontier Honestly I don't think it is fare to review Saw as one movie, because the whole film series really sheds light on the events in the first one, which is why the plot and the twist ending might be hard to follow.

  • @TheCrazyplaying

    The plot and the twist isn't hard to follow, that's not his argument here. His argument is that its so unnecessarily convoluted and poorly thought out, the screen play suffers because of it.

  • @TheCrazyplaying fair not fare

  • I love saw, but i agree on the whole not torture porn thing, the first one is hardly gory and pretty tame compared to alot of the other shit going around today (maybe it's the sequels that give it it's reputation, plus saw is a thriller not meant to be scary.

  • I kinda understand that Hoffman knowing what some people would do since he's a cop. But how would Jigsaw and Amanda really would know? One's a druggie and the other is a engineer. What happens if they just sat there and started jacking off for 6 hours. What would Jigsaw do? Jigsaw is going to be like "Are you going to take this seriously or what?"

  • dude did you see saw 1 to 3D

  • This movie is basically like watching two people sitting in a room, and trying to find out which one of them does the least convincing american accent.

  • I love the SAW films (even the bad ones) but this review is still great, even through all the negative comments. Great work Matt. PS did I mention I LOVE THE SAW SERIES an I LOVE THIS GUYS REVEIWS, INCLUDING THIS ONE.

  • I really hate this review because I love the SAW Series, sorry Matthew, i like your reviews but right now.... you can go fuck yourself!!!!!

  • ET scares me too.

    He looks like a deformed fetus that's been soaked in formaldehyde.

  • The fact that people defend this fucking stupid movie and call it intelligent cinema makes me ashamed to be a member of the human race

  • lol some epic traps in this movie. chicks with dicks ftw

  • All I know is, if were in a Saw trap and Jigsaw said "I want to play a game", I would immediately say,

    "I lost the game" and not for the reason you think.

    Oh by the way, you lost the game :P

  • 2:30, but that IS what real people would say....

    2"46, there is nothing wrong with that. Characters are suppposed to have transitions in their personalities.

    3:16, no he could of ancipated many ways for it to turn out and figure out that no matter what happens he still has a way to get out unscathed. He didn't have to be omniscient. And later in the film he actually gets caught by surprise and got shot be a shotgun. So no, Jigsaw is not omniscient.

    3:28, doesn't give any examples.

  • @DaveElectric Okay, I think it's quite obvious you're just nitpicking.

  • You are the worst reviewer... Spend more time reviewing the movie rather than making that stupid intro. I thought saw was going to suck, I was wrong. Saw has the most interesting twists and turns I've ever seen in a scary movie. The Ring has a shitty story - watch a tape and a girl will come kill you 7 days later. Saw has depth, it can relate to people somehow. Maybe not you because there hasn't been a scene in Saw that reflects a no life that lives in his mothers basement. Ignorant baboon.

  • @HairyNacho "Saw has depth, it can relate to people somehow" that's really really vague

  • Comment removed

  • Not really torture porn. Hostel is more torture porn be cause the people in Hostel want to hurt and kill people, in Saw movies Jigsaw "wants them to live."

  • confused matthew is trying to hate on the movie by describing it from beginning to end. but as he describes the details he's only explaining the genius of the authors as well as making a fool of himself @ the same time. if you recieve a tape that says "play me" your freaking out cause you woke up chained to a toilet, and there's a tape player in the center of the room, what logical human wouldnt do what they can to get that tape player? obviously not confused matt. now on to watch something good

  • @MrShig1 btw, the reason the cop made him listen to amanda's testimony was because he found his pen there, that he admitted to being his. the only piece of evidence that the cop gathered!! why would a cop cancel out the only loose end they got, especially when they found jigsaw's layer two blocks from his house??? you just wanna feel smart i'm convinced.

  • @MrShig1 He also dumbs down the character Dialogue, If he is going to review a bad movie, he should make sure it really is a bad movie and not lie about everything, unless he is just giving his opinion on the movie which he is kinda doing, but at the same time he is pointing out flaws that are not there.

  • I love the first three Saw films. After Saw III, the franchise shit itself inside out. Big time.

  • BGM is "Ominous" from FFX. Fits the review really well.

  • I strongly agree with the guy below me.

  • TBH i liked the first one, i thought it was pretty well written for the 2 guys in the bathroom, and I liked how everything came together at the ending

  • Eh, I actually thought the first Saw was pretty decent (not the others) it was alright overall. Except for the acting, that was terrible

  • You know something CM, over the past few months, I have learned that there is a general consensus among people from other internet show hosts and commentators that suggests that your reviews are mostly of movies that people actually enjoy, like this one. I could bitch and rant and write a long-ass comment here, but I'll let the numbers speak for themselves. Good day sir.

    PS: Saw rules!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @watercoloreddreams yeah, just like Stab would be a better title for the Scream movies, pfft!!!

  • Don't worry Matthew. ET always scared me too.

  • small piece of advice the great confused Matthew, reviewing movies that you really dont' like and dont' like the genre (apparently, plus you seem to be against gore and 'sick violence' as well as putting down ppl who enjoy such films) but I guess occassionally you have to especially since this was a request. But come on you did not find the story good? & ppl have got to stop thinkin Saw movies are about gore, violence, "gore porn" as you called it or SCARY. These fims r about story & TWISTS

  • matthew can you please review the lord of the rings trilogy?

  • "I am not going to review Hostel" [One sentence later...] "Hostel is just a sick film that you can't watch for anything but sick reasons."

  • I could see Jigsaw's ideal, but at the same time how can he really justify what he does? I mean, he kidnaps them, puts them in traps and if they don't figure out to get out, they're dead.

  • @watercoloreddreams It's a trap!!

  • love this. <3

  • See I knew someone else was scared of ET! I'm not alone!

  • An even better title than Traps would be Escape The Room: The Movie.

  • matthew can you please do a big lebowski review?

  • there are blatant murders by jigsaw as well. He injects people with poison for christ's sake

  • ya fuck hostel 1 and 2

  • Hey i love your reviews but one big problem is ppl freak out if they dont know where they and if their gonna die that is how real ppl do it yes gordon staying calm was complete bullshit but everyone else however do wat real ppl do in their situations but i still love your reviews its just that real ppl do freak out

  • I think this is only the ever time I'll ever know the storyline of Saw..... I'm way too squeamish to watch it despite it being fake....

  • I'm confused as to why Matthew's reviews are nearly as long as the films he's reviewing. 

  • fuck you saw was amazing james wan and leigh whannel are awesome

  • Matthew PLZ Do Deadfall its a nicholas cage movie

  • I think that people who doesn't like the Saw franchise is because they can't understand the movies.

  • @pelisdami

    You know, you sound exactly like the 2001 fans. As soon as someone says something negative; this reaction comes out: "Oh you just don't get it, you're not sophisticated enough, you just can't understand it"

    Which translates to

    "I'm not going to even try and give a good counter argument, I'm just going to put out a straw man argument to make my opponent's position harder to defend".

    If you're gonna disagree, at least make a constructive argument.

  • @TheDarkFrontier NO YOU dont' get it!! I agree with Pelisdami comPLETELY! U know why? b/c he is RIGHT!! Those of us who - oh I dunno - UNDER S T A N D films like Saw and others should not have to stop our busy lives and break it down and Gerber it to you lessers in a lil space shuttle spoon. You either get or you don't!! If you can't see that these movies are not about gore the gore is a 'bonus' for horror buffs, its about the STORY, twists and the ride!! Y would we argue 2get cuss'd cowardly

  • @CubbieBear1980

    When you write a reply that's actually legible and not obnoxious and pretentious, I might be inclined to reply to you.

  • I generally like these movies.

    My favorite character:: Dr. Gordon.

  • It's always great to make a judgment on a film you haven't seen LOL

  • HaHa your brillant...bet u get alotta girls with ur sense of humour...nice one man keep it up ;)

  • What I like about confused matthew is he goes through the whole movie and calls out the bullshit

  • Confused mathew: this is THE best work you have done, I want more reviews like this ... I mean the incredibles review?! COME ON!!!! that sucked ... this review however, is GENIUS, humourous, fluent and downright AWESOME

  • WTF would u do then, just sit there and die, i found this movie interesting and fun to watch to lick

    my ring :P

  • Saw is fucking bad. Its not even scary.

  • You say that Dr Gordon had nothing to worry about when he was accused of a crime? You've obviously never been in that situation so you wouldn't know. If the cops suspect a person enough they can obviously find ways to get you arrested even if you are innocent

  • You don't seem to get this reviewer.

    To the retarded eye, he seems like hes giving the movie a bad review.

    You don't seem to get the level of sarcasm in his voice, or the fact that he pretends that some of the best scenes are bad.

    Tools.

  • confused is right you have no idea what you are talking about

  • @Dylanjrvs

    Care to explain why? You are exactly what confusedmatthew talks about; people who just say one line as a conversation stopper and leave it at that. You mayaswell have put "Saw rocks, stfu", it would've demonstrated about the same level of intelligence and argument.

  • not a very good review

  • dude u have to watch all parts of Saw to figure out whats the point of movie

    and ur review sux this franchise is EPIC !!

  • That part reminds me of "Dude, Where's My Car?"

  • I think in some ways as far as the men in the bathrooms, it was almost too realistic. I mean you talk about the dialgogue that was used, in which, that made me laugh as well.

    But an average person put in this kind of situation they wouldn't be thinking as clearly as posible, sure there was some stuff that i was like 'eh no thats not realistic, nobody would think that, etc'

    But some of it was right on

  • I really liked Saw I don't understand your logic. Hostel sucks ass, but Saw kicks ass. It isn't supposed to be scary. It is supposed to be a thriller.

  • I enjoy these videos, but you made a few mistakes.

    The reason why the cops asked him to stick around was because one of them (the black guy) still doesn't believe that he is innocent. The Dr. later says that the cop kept suspecting him, and that he needed to get a restraining order to keep the now ex-cop away from him. What the cop was trying to triger was a confession, since he still (rather stubornly) believes that the Dr. is the killer.

  • you were wrong about everything you said, Matthew is not confused or annoyed, MATTHEW

    IS JUST STUPID.

  • Shut the fuck up. Thank you.

  • This is such film school student review of this movie, its pretentious and annoying as fuck!

  • your dumber then a door knob this movie was the best someone should lock you in a bath room and yell game over leving u in there for the rest of your wuss bag life.

  • obviously you havnt seen the rest of the series, which all pin points everything that happened in saw 1

  • 08:30

    You would love Cube (the one by Vincent whats-his-lastname from the 90's) There's no sarcasm here.

  • 'Hostel' isn't a bad movie, though everyone seems to think it is. The first 'Saw' film is a way better quality wise than what was to follow, even though I find the series entertaining.

  • saying jigsaw isn't killing people is like shooting someone and saying "they ran in front of the barrel"

  • DO THE REST OF THE SAE DO IT

  • Saw, to me, is a mix between a one-scene movie and CSI :D

  • "thrashing around"

  • Watch saw 3 and you'll realize why they call it gross

  • The saw movies are masterpieces, people just find them "Disturbing" or "Stupid", because of advertisement and annoying reviews like this. They're really well done. I enjoy them. You are right about them not being scary or grotesque. They're not, though they are some of the greatest psychological films of all time.

  • @tekken3y0sh1m1tsu1 hahahahahahhaha ma-master-masterpiece, oh, oh I-I can barely breath.

    it's like saying ted bundy was a genious, it's a good movie but in no way was it a "masterpiece" and how is someone cutting of their legs psychological. and a horror movie IS supposed to be scary but the saw flicks are just disgusting.

  • Ted Bundy is a genious of our age :P

    I like your hooters, I like your ass. How about you and me after class :P

  • @tekken3y0sh1m1tsu1 They're good but i wouldn't say they were masterpieces. :/

  • I don't get way people hate all these films. It's a great psychological film. All of them are.

  • I only enjoyed the first saw, after that It just became about the gore.

  • I agree...I HATE THE SAW SERIES!!!

  • @MrDavidFILM You are a SISSY. No, scratch that. You are the Sissiest sissy from the sissiest city in the sissiest sissy land!

  • @Razzjackaz Ok... Why...Because I hate Saw you have to insult me....1st of all, I hate Saw because they are STUPID, STUPID movies....For my part, the only kinds of movies that you can say I'm afraid of is the HORROBLY POOR WRITTEN ONES!!!!

  • @MrDavidFILM SISSY

  • @Razzjackaz You are rude...Thanks man....

  • @MrDavidFILM then your A FUCKING FAG

  • @lolatmyfoot Because I don't like ONE kind of horrorfilms...I wish for you not to be so rude...Instead of spending your time on the YouTube insulting pepole for different oppinions, why don't you expose your true oppinions in logical arguments...So tell me...What did you like about Saw

  • @MrDavidFILM good gore' good plot' good suspence, andso on, you are probably to stuid to understand what its about

  • @lolatmyfoot Ok..good for you that you liked it...But I agree with ConfusedMatthew 100% on this matter

  • @MrDavidFILM yes but he's a fag lol and he has the iq of a crayon

  • @lolatmyfoot Ok...If you say so... By the way, you wanna see horrorfilms with dicent quality of writing: Here's 2: Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Beginning and Nightmare on Elm St. (both the old and the new).

  • @MrDavidFILM

    Probably don't have to say, but people who start response with "fag" aren't worth your time. Just your typical inbreed youtube troll.

  • Out of many, I actually think Saw was good, and I don't get why so much people dislike it. I mean... The killer had a reason. The killer was smart. the traps were smart, the way the story went was smart. But I agree though for the suspect part.

  • @xKleptoGirl I agree with you.

  • It's funny how people try to justify that John didn't kill his victims. He admits to having injected about half of them with poison that will kill them within a certain time period. Kidnapping aside, that, alone, is murder. Whether they can escape that fate is irrelevant. They shouldn't have to escape it because they should never have been put through it by John nor anyone else to begin with.

  • I always saw SAW as the OK film that spawned a million shitty sequels.

    But really SAW operates on adventure game logic. To be honest. Combine "Shirt" with "Bath Plug" to get "Tape Recorder" is NOTHING to any adventure game fanatic :D

  • Hostel wasn't scary just gross.

  • "Look in the tub"

    "Dude di you hear something?"

    "LOOK IN THE TUB!"

    There it is again must be one of the pipes rusting"

    "Oh for god's sake"

    Although i hate this prticular review i can't help but LOL at that little piece of genius

  • They shouldn't have called it traps. They should've called it Trash. That's all this film, and the Saw franchise as a whole, is.

  • You are scared of E.T

    Man you are such a pussy, I'll bet your scared of the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang or The Joker from The Dark Knight

  • I think your completly right about saw, I saw it today and its stupid

  • "Brain tumor?" Must have been the writer.

  • "...he never really killed anyone..."

  • hahahha sorry...so sorry but you're afraid of ET...ok that really gave me a great laugh this morning :D

    saw isnt scary for shit

  • 1:47 face

  • lol you made this movie sound funny :) But I still am too scared to watch it without a friend of mine

  • saw if fuckin awesome! wat the hell u sayin well i guess u haf to see the other movies to get it........

  • Generally I agree with some points, what I do not agree with is the way death scenes were shot. I mean, I was impressed by the way camera spins around the woman. This was not made to make it a good presentation of details. It was made to settle emotional background for the scene and the state of her mind. I totally loved the way the scene was shot. It scared the crap out of me.

  • He's trolling.

  • It's what most so called horror movies are Matt, false advertising .

  • you can't review a movie dude, saw has one of the greatest endings ever in a horror thriller movie. this movie was just awesome, not the best acting, not the best storyline, but the best premise.

  • uhhh, u didnt mention the part where jigsaw is in adams aparment and adam takes picture. that part was scary, i couldnt even look at the screen

  • do the other saw films

  • Samurai jack.

  • "Well, it's been three hours and I just can't figure out what to do next."

    "Go for the tub."

    "Hey, did you hear something?"

    "Go for the tub."

    "Hmmm, must be one of these leaky pipes."

    "Oh for God's sake."

    Brilliant.

  • This movie is more about thinking and psychological. Not being scary.

  • @confusedmatthew Hey by the way Matthew, way to point out that Jigsaw is omniscient, but completely fail to see the biblical parallels.

    Jigsaw, like Jahova, tests people. And if he tells you to build an ark, or kill your only son, or not to look behind you under any circumstances, well you damn well better listen to him!

  • Comment removed

  • i'm scared of E.T aswell

  • OMG!!! I WAS SCARED OF ET TOO!!!!!!!!!!

  • not only that but the ending of the second movie IS THE MOST FUCKING AWFUL IDIOTIC THING I HAVE EVER SEEN. so how the fuck could jigsaw or that chick predict that a 13 year old boy would have been able to kill a fucking drug dealing macho weight lifting criminal................????..­.............oh right cause ITS STUPID.

  • @IGNsucks Daniel Matthews was not instructed by Amanda Young nor John Kramer to kill Xavier. The events within the house took place before Detective Eric Matthews, Detective Kerry, and a SWAT team lead by Officer Rigg raided the factory in which Jigsaw (John Kramer) was residing. Due to the survival of both Amanda and Daniel, they had passed their tests. Therefore, It was made possible for Daniel's father (Eric Mathews) to be tested.

  • @DistortedMachine HOLY FUCK YOU PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN HOW TO READ, when did I ever say the kid was instructed to kill the macho guy, I said how could jigsaw have predicted that a 13 year old boy would of been able to kill a guy three times his size who clearly was a killer himself. I never even mentioned the swat team so I dont know why youre bringing them up, yeah the events in the house took place before got it, I never said otherwise why are you bringing it up?.

  • @IGNsucks It was a test of survival. John Kramer was testing them both.

  • @DistortedMachine no he wasnt cause amanda was meant to be his replacement so if she died, gameover. there is no logical reason to assume that a 13 year old boy who has never killed anyone before could somehow kill a 300 pound guy who was a killer. 

  • @IGNsucks The test itself was entirely based on the concept of "survival". If Amanda had died, she would not have been worthy to become the successor of Jigsaw. Because she had survived her second test, (First being the Reverse Bear Trap) John Kramer accepted her as worthy of carrying on his "life's work", as he told Amanda; "You must meet death in order to be reborn."

    John Kramer anticipated the possibilities, and allowed the game to play out.

  • @DistortedMachine so he anticipated the possibility of a 13 year old boy killing a body build 300 pound armed man. dont be an idiot. your obviously a fanboy cause there is no way jigsaw could have anticipated something like that, NO WAY. which means he basically wanted amanda to die. and she was in on it from the start which means she knew that she just had to stay out of trouble and not be the first one to try anything and she would live, thus taking all the fear out.

  • @DistortedMachine saying he anticipated the outcome is ridiculous cause anyone of the poepl in their could have easily have killed any of the other people when ever they wanted to. when there a bunch of people in a room together all of which have viloent backgrounds THERE IS NO WAY SOMEONE CAN PREDICT EVERYTHING THAT WOULD HAPPEN. what if the macho guy had discovered the numbers on the neck earlier when they were stuck in the first room, he would have killed them all, gameover.

  • @IGNsucks Xavier is a mere drug dealer. Not a homocidal maniac.

    As far as anticipation goes; You would be surprised as to what the human mind can conjure up. That is not to imply that someone of John Kramer's character can truly anticipate something that intricate, but at the same point it instills the fact that the chance of survival remains as long as a sacrifice is made to compensate.

  • @DistortedMachine and so he had no problem throwing amanda in the tub of needles and he had no problem killing the black dude. he was a killer. and he sure turned into a homocidal maniac by the end of the film. and sure Ive seen very clever and great character anticipated events written into stories before, but that being said he could not have predicted that daniel/ mathew, whatever his name is, could have killed xavier and this was the whole back bone to the plot.

  • @DistortedMachine secondly if his whole philosophy is that you must sacrifice something to win then how come he hasnt put himself in one of these traps. he is no better then the people in them so by his philosophy he too should have to be put through one as well. the bottom line is that these movies give the illusion of smart well thought out films but when you break all this shit down they really make no sense.

  • @DistortedMachine people only discover shit in these movie when the plot demands it just so that the movie can continue along. john kramer couldnt have predicted anything and he was on the verge of death, why would he try to kill amanda???.......then he would have to find someone else who could carry on his work which would take a ton more of time WHICH HE DID NOT KNOW IF HE EVEN HAD THAT TIME.

  • @IGNsucks Then you do not understand the philosophy of the character John Kramer.

  • @DistortedMachine yeah i got that, im not talking about character philosophy, im talking about the things which make no sense in this idiotic film. john kramer could not have predicted the majority of the things which happenned in the film. he basically guessed and if he did that, then amanda would have died, so then what would he have done afterwards when that guy took him a gunpoint???.....he would have fucking died. amanda was the link which allowed him to win.

  • @DistortedMachine and amanda was jigsaws partner from the start, she didnt become his partner after she passed the test cause SHE WAS IN ON AT FROM THE START. So at the end when the macho dude was about to kill amanda, what did she do, she crawled on the floor next to the kid waiting to die, THERE IS NO WAY SHE OR JIGSAW COULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THE KID WOULD HAVE FAKED BEING DEAD SO THAT HE COULD LURE THE MACHO GUY INTO A POSITION OF FALSE SECURITY SO THAT HE COULD KILL HIM. these movies suck.

  • saw is pretty stupid and isnt scary. like when they have to cut their fucking leg off, the guys a doctor, a FUCKING DOCTOR, he cant find a way to slice his leg up in a way so that he can slide his foot out of the chains. not only that but they always end up finding the bodies?????.........how??.....­...if there is no way out then how the fuck do the cops know where to find these bodies.

  • No offense but this kinda sounds like random comments again no offense but you really don't see the genre its more of a suspense not much horror now they tried to make 4,5,6 horror movies but failed and still made them good movies for story and also they did have random actors but at least SAW is better than Alien vs Predator and Aliens vs Predator Requiem also better than SAW III.But SAW was a great movie but thats your opinion. 

  • Wow are you kidding me obviously it's not supposed to be a scary film. And did you really not think the ending was brilliant?

  • saw was the best movie ever

  • I was Asleep Under water!

  • Personally, I think the series is just made for shock value
