i saw the movie is what younger kids would say due to not knowing what a good sentence is or not and older people would use seen for their sentence of saying that they have seen that movie.

They are both expressing the same meaning, but using different grammar forms. âI sawâ has a slight tone of implying that you saw it recently, while âI have seenâ implies that youâve seen it before, but not stating when.
