As you may know, Saw 5 came out this weekend and it continued to follow the precedent left by Saw 4 of suck. As expected, it did suck. Sure it is always interesting seeing the new ways the writers of the movie thought of to torture and kill people. . . but seriously. This movie is stretching it. There really is no crazy twist to this movie that people loved from the first Saw movies. Saw 1 was awesome. Saw 2 was sorta awesome. Saw 3 was pushing it. Saw 4 was a confusing failure. Saw 5, utter disappointment. There was some unbelievable loose ends that I want to address now. If you have not seen the movie yet, and you want it to be a surprise--do not continue reading.
Stupid Scene 1) There is things that smart people know, and there are things that everyone knows. In one of the final scenes in the movie, 2 survivors (thus far) are told they must but there hands in a box containing saws. The saws would then cut up their hands and funnel into a container with a fishing bobber. When the container was full, the door would open. Of course they only had a few minutes to do this before a bomb went off. A little unbelievable here already but that is besides the point. So of course the two individuals decide to do it, but before they stick their hands in the box they rip off a piece of clothing and make a turnicot. Think about that. That would stop blood flow which they do NOT want. You would apply a turnicot AFTER but not before if you are trying to bleed. Maybe then they wouldn't have had to cut all the way to their elbows. Dumb.
Stupid Scene 2) Last Scene. The bad dude goes into a bullet proof box that drops into the floor. The walls then close in, gruesomly smashing the hero. My question is. . . how does the dude in the box get out? Is he not now buried under a large steel wall? Its not like he had a button in this 'coffin' to press the retract the walls. It would be a long, painful, dark death--locked in a tight, dark space. I think I would rather be crushed--it would be faster. but thats just me.
Stupid Scene 3) Cubby holes hiding from the nail bombs. The holes are definitaly big enough for probably everyone. I get it, that was part of the twist, teamwork or whatever. But how could you not see that? Here's a tip to Jigsaw victims-open your damn eyes and stop being a dumbass.

Well that was my review on Saw 5 in a nutshell. I am bored as hell right now and that is what is on my mind. Here is my advice for those considering this movie. Save your money and don't see Saw.
