Well, obviously I disagree.

Since I like Saw, I must be a part of the market here, and according to you the market is people who like to see as much gore and pain as possible within 90 minutes. No, it doesn't work that way. There's more to it than that. I enjoy the series because of the thrilling story and the surprising twists, and I refuse to believe that I'm the only one out there.

I see you said "the entire franchise". I don't think you can judge all 4 movies with the same judgehammer. The series definitely took a turn for the more violent with Saw 3. Heck, a CSI episode was more graphic than Saw 1. The story is the biggest focus, by far, in Saw 1, so I definitely think you're wrong on that one. Saw 2 also for that matter. I don't blame you for not liking Saw 3, that one was unnecessarily graphic and the story also sucked, so I don't feel like defending that one. Saw 4 took a better turn I must say.
