SAW series thread

This thread makes me want to watch all the saw movies in order. Outside of the first one, I only remember random deaths with no concept of story.

I heard someone say its best to view it as a long & gorey Netflix series.

But like all horror series the later entries aren't anywhere as good as the first few... And I'd argue it's the most inconsistent horror series ever.

Saw 1&2 : Two of the best horror movies ever. Contains some of the best twists that have ever been in movies. I'm not exaggerating.

Saw 3 : Very mixed opinions. Lots of wasted potential they tossed aside for inferior ideas.

Saw 4 : Its almost a return to the quality of the first two movies. Still great, surprisingly.

Saw 5 : At the time I considered it to be trash, and my opinion probably wouldn't improve much after watching it again.

Saw 6 : Surprisingly almost as good as Saw 4... Still a great entry.

Saw 7/3D : If Saw5 was trash, Saw7 was absolute shit. Even worse, it shit on the original entry of the series.
The ending was copy&pasted from an internet theory from an message board the writers admitted they were familiar with.

All movies after this are one-offs.

Jigsaw : 'Meh' at best. They toned down the gore to almost PG-13 levels and practically every aspect of the plot was copy & pasted from previous Saw movies.

Spiral : 'Trash' is the best word that describes this, like Saw 5.

Saw X : This was... Surprisingly good. Set between Saw 1&2 its definitely worth watching and fits well between the canon of the first two excellent movies.

I enjoyed the first two. First movie is sorta whatever but the ending is spectacular. The second movie is more fun the whole way through and they managed to do the ending cool again. There's a steep decline after this and I think I stopped after 5. The traps are always cool but it's not enough to make me even rewatch the ones I've seen

I’m just amazed that anyone would watch all of these and be willing to admit it..

It's been years since I last watched a SAW movie. I haven't seen Spiral or X.

1-6 were really enjoyable. 7 was terrible. Jigsaw was surprisingly good from what I remember.
