Saw 3D (2010)

Not predicting human behavior very well, the creators of this film believed it to be the last of the franchise so they went more for spectacle while dropping significantly in quality. Jigsaw murders happened way more frequently and some of them are used as a disturbing performance art in public spaces. The first trap has two competing lovers trying to decide who will sacrifice themselves for the woman they both claim to love only to let her be sawed in half. Jill Tuck (Betsy Russell) was unable to kill Mark Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) who escapes and sews his face back together. Jill goes to the police hoping to expose Mark but she's haunted by nightmare after she confesses. Several traps play out ass Jigsaw takes his revenge on racists and liars. Detective Gibson (Chad Donella) is the only police officer Jill can trust. He discovers another Jigsaw trap that is overly outlandish and receives a taunting message from Hoffman. Bobby Degan (Sean Patrick Flanery) leads support groups for Jigsaw survivors and promotes his survival story as a memoir. He is confronted by Dr. Gordon (Cary Elwes), a survivor of the first film. Bobby is then assaulted by a pig-masked figure and wakes up in the main trap of the film. It turns out that Bobby had been lying about his story of survival so he must go through a series of tests. He has to pull a fish hook out of his publicist's stomach through her mouth without making a certain amount of loud noise and prevent a machine from piercing the eyes of his lawyer by lifting another painful device. Bobby is not very good at saving any of the victims.Check out more of this review and others at swilliky.com

Saw 3D The Final Chapter is a waste of everyone's time. The filmmakers no longer act like filmmakers. They act like people playing Call of Duty on their Xbox trying to get the biggest kill- streak. All this movie is about is killing as many people as possible in the nastiest, yet most tedious and fake-looking way possible. Does this feel like the end of a franchise? No. It's rushed and doesn't really feel like a resolution. The twist that Lawrence Gordon was actually Jigsaw's apprentice the whole time is not only boring, but was painfully obvious from the start. Also, why would he suddenly join forces with the man who kidnapped his family and put him through the wringer? Like the rest of the movie, it doesn't make sense. The acting hits an all-time low here, with the victims of the opening trap and some guy from Final Destination who plays a bland police officer standing out in particular. There is no lightness, humour, joy, intelligence or insight here. It is just death after death after death. And for what? What do we gain from this movie? What do the characters gain from this? What has Jigsaw been trying to accomplish? What will happen to his work after this movie? So many unanswered questions. So many uncaring critics viewers who never want anything to do with this once-decent franchise ever again. They're still making Saw VIII of course. I sometimes wonder why I like cinema so much. 3/10

I see the obligatory low ratings and I assume people are just butthurt because this movie actually was brave enough to show human nature in it's true form, without the pandering and bull you see in other movies and sitcoms. It had realistic characters - a cheating, selfish, double-dealing slut who was using two guys and wished them to kill each other so she can live - that's the kind of a realistic character you'll never see in another movie, and if you're offended by it - enjoy being a hypocritical, delusional narcissist who demands pandering. It also had many other characters with realistic human traits which really amazed me, because I'm used to seeing obligatory unrealistic and pandering personalities in movies. So that was brave!You have your gore and twisty plot, but what this movie really shines in is sparing no one when it comes to realistic human nature. Things like that I'm sure offend a majority simpletons who are used to being lied to and enjoy reading and seeing fake, distorted stories; but make for a respectable & bold movie.Lying publicists, lying media, lying lawyers, everything in this movie was realistically portraying the ugly flow of the "real world".The ending was bittersweet though, I was hoping for justice for the brilliant anti-hero I sympathized with (yet disappointingly and conveniently clumsy near the end, bad script there).

Not only is the gore disgusting and completely over the top (and not in a fun way like the Evil Dead series) Its just people being torn apart in the most grotesque disgusting ways simply for the sake of showing it. And when I wasn't disgusted I laughed because it looked so fake several times. And I do not have a problem with violence in movies at all. But there is a line and they just keep crossing it in every sick disgusting Saw sequel they have made.But the worst part is that the gore seems more important than what little actual plot there is in this garbage of a movie. Not that there is much of a plot. And it's so confusing that it makes no sense what so ever.The original Saw movie might have been clever with good acting and a good plot. But typical Hollywood: sequels have to be just about the violence. I can barely remember it after 9 horrible money-grabbing sequels.And good actors have been wasted in the sequels, such as Dina Meyer, Cary Elves, Sean Patrick Flannery and of course Jigsaw himself Tobin Bell.Do not waste a minute of your time on this disgusting display of senseless brutal violence. Not even if you're paid to see it. It's sheer torture to sit through this or any of the 8 other sequels.Personally I'd rather watch paint dry.Only good thing to say is that this really was the final chapter as it has been 6 years since this turd of a movie came out.But Hollywood that has run completely out of ideas and they keep rebooting everything and they will most likely reboot Saw as well at one point. And it will be terrible. Like every other reboot out there.
