Archive 1, matters from pre-release, now dealt with

Reception

Am I the only one who thinks this section is POV? I mean, I like Saw as much as the next guy, but V had by far the lowest critical consensus for the series to date, and all it mentions are positive reviews. If someone could attempt to balance it out by adding some of the negative reviews, that'd be great. If not, I'll try doing some tomorrow.--CyberGhostface (talk) 02:12, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. "While mostly negative, there were some positive reviews, and the movie fared generally better in terms of critical response than its predecessor." That's just ridiculous. Check Saw I, II, III, IV and V in rottentomatoes. It's a steady decline (46%-36%-26%-18%-13%). Saw V did fare better among top critics than Saw IV, but that's because of one single review, and it was a 10% improvement over 0%. 143.89.188.6 (talk) 11:49, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So, fix it. Darrenhusted (talk) 11:57, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As I stated earlier..."If someone could attempt to balance it out by adding some of the negative reviews, that'd be great. If not, I'll try doing some tomorrow." I'm fairly busy, so I thought pointing out to someone who would have more time to fix the section would be better. But if no one else is able to do this, I'll try.--CyberGhostface (talk) 12:12, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I was really addressing that to the IP. Darrenhusted (talk)
Oh, sorry then.--CyberGhostface (talk) 12:20, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not a problem, I should have been clearer. Darrenhusted (talk) 12:22, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I added some negative reviews to the section.--CyberGhostface (talk) 17:52, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think we should revise the gross amount cuz its written 35.5 mil whereas its 45.8 as of now.(sry didnt know where to write this im kinda new)--User:13Dvivid13 —Preceding undated comment was added at 16:22, 3 November 2008 (UTC).[reply]

spoiler

The "plot" section is a total recounting and spoiler of the film. It should have a warning prior. "Plot" implies the gist of the story, not a total spoiler. 156.111.160.114 (talk) 04:38, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, you are the most wrong person on earth. Read WP:SPOILER. Darrenhusted (talk) 09:18, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And you should read Wikipedia:Civility, which is a policy. If someone thinks "plot" implies the gist of a story, not the entire story, who are you to tell them different? That anonymous editor can add a spoiler warning if they want (although I'm 100% certain it will be removed). --Pixelface (talk) 11:38, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Every Saws on wiki are spoiled. That's not new. On the french wiki we try not to spoil it. Nico92400 (talk) 12:27, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Plot Editing

The discussing of the entire plot occurring in the movie, particularly the second half of the plot, is a gigantic edit fuck fest. People are shorting it, leaving out valuable info, sometimes adding redundant terms etc. Something needs to be done here. Comparing the current plot info on the Saw V article with every other movie the whole thing is slack written, and the currently written ending in the article at this point, which doesn't give a specific reason for Strahm not being able to escape the room, is like pinpointing the movie for being generally illogical and badly written in terms of sense. The plot isn't written according to the timeline either, instead it's combining it all in different sections, and it also leaves out the infamous plot twists of the Saw movies, which there even were two of in this movie. Carbo45 (talk) 17:17, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if you (or anyone) know how to fix it, then go ahead. I've only seen it once and I don't plan on seeing it anytime soon so I wouldn't be the best one to edit it.--CyberGhostface (talk) 17:58, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Something which, I did. Mostly adding the info regarding the ending plot twist, which then later on got replaced. I'll try adding it again tomorrow, the point is that it never seems to stay solid, which is why things at this point seems a lot messier compared to other sections of the article. Carbo45 (talk) 19:23, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here's what it says when you edit: If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed for profit by others, do not submit it. The ending is fine, there is no twist, Strahm gets killed, Erickson finds Brit, Hoffman is in a box. The plot is clear in these aspects. Darrenhusted (talk) 09:12, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Saw VI

since factual details are becoming available, isn't it time to make a Saw VI article yet? 68.185.167.117 (talk) 08:17, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It has been announced. Tobin Bell and Costas are both signed on. Plus there is a clip on Youtube.
