I was not making any judgment statements on any of that genre of movie, I just felt like an element from those movies, or at least an element that appeals to fans of those movies, was present in this movie and I wasn't in love with it in the context of a Batman movie. I haven't seen any of the Saw or Hostel or whatever movies so I have no idea whether they are good or not.

I will say it again, the Saw comparrison is entirely tangential to my feelings towards this movie, born of a factual error I held in my head. I was getting bored with the seemingly endless series of overly complex events. It brought to mind what I perceive as the general M.O. (not any specifics) of a genre of movies I have no interest in which triggered my false memory of Nolan being involved with those, but really my point has nothing to do with those movies, it just would have made a lot of sense had Nolan been involved. He wasn't, but that doesn't change the fact that the story was boring me regardless of any false analogy my mind jumped to.
