But for me, each Saw movie is sort of like a retarded magic trick, I tune in each year to see how cleverly they've devised their latest twist ending. Frankly, I thought IV was the best, but you have to remember the details of Saw III for it to make any sense. I think people reacted badly to the level of brain activity required for it, and the resulting V was the worst yet: dull and straightforward.
I saw the first one prior to its release with James Wan (co-writer/director) and Leigh Whannell (co-writer/actor, Adam) in attendance, and they addressed the cheapness of Saw head-on, saying they just didn't have the time or budget to film cars on a road, nor did they have the footage available sometimes to pad out the runtime (photographs in the first movie is due to a lack of other footage to use).
