Are the SAW movies going dull?

 Are the SAW movies going dull?  That’s what a whole lot of people are asking after watching SAW V.  This movie left off where SAW IV ended.  Detective Hoffman we find out is Jigsaw’s apprentice.  We find out the whole story about how he became Jigsaw’s apprentice.  Agent Straham knows that Hoffman is involved so he chases after Hoffman for the entire movie.  In between is another one of Jigsaw’s games, but it’s one that was set up by Hoffman.  The movie ends with Hoffman and Straham facing each other, but Hoffman escapes while the room closes in on Straham.  The movie ends as Hoffman gets away. 

While this is an interesting ending it really wasn’t all it was hyped up to be.  We were all expecting something huge to happen to make us want to see SAW VI next year, but all it did was make us get up out of the movie and say,  “These movies just don’t have the excitement anymore.” 

Remember the end of SAW I?  The last thing I thought was going to happen was Jigsaw end up being the guy that was in the middle of the floor that was there for the whole movie.  SAW II with the shocking ending where Eric Matthews’ son was in a safe place like Jigsaw promised and we got introduced to an apprentice for Jigsaw.  Since then it’s gone downhill.  SAW III‘s ending was just as suspense filled watching Jigsaw and Amanda die at the very end. SAW IV‘‘s ending was good, but adding another apprentice is kinda sketchy.  Now the latest ending of SAW V was not that exciting and is just kind of making the story drag on.  Yes, the game during the movie was amusing, but not that creative.  Any idiot could see that at the second level the tunnels they had to go to could fit more than one person.  And the same key could unlock all of the locks in the first level.  It was amusing and filled with blood and gore that we all love from these movies, but all in all it was rather disappointing.  The creators need a way to spice up for the final movie otherwise tons of people are going to be disappointed for the anticipated excitemnt of the final movie in the SAW series.
