Great but too many sequels I am not a horror fan. I hate blood guts and gore. The reason Saw appealed to me and the reason I watched it all the way through to the end is because of the psychological aspect. This review will be for the series as a whole as each individual movie does not deserve 5 stars. The quality fluctuated among the movies and this last one was probably not the best.The first Saw was probably the best one although that is usually the case when a movie goes on and on for ten years. I was absolutely fascinated at Jigsaw's idea of teaching his victims a lesson. He was going about it the wrong way of course by torturing them but it was still fascinating. And even if the first was the highest quality the fifth was my personal favorite. Jigsaw and the movie attacking the insurance industry was just so amazing.Here were my problems1. You simply cannot orchestrate killing so many people after you are dead. No one is that good at planning ahead. That right there is the best reason for not having so many sequels.2. Jigsaw's victims are so grateful for the lessons they learned that they turn around and help him in his quest to teach others lessons. That is gruesome murder. That is believable ONCE. How many times did it happen by movie 7? Four?3. How does Jigsaw have all these huge empty warehouses that he can fill will all these huge traps that the police do not know about? Is he a billionaire or what?4. The traps would never work that perfectly like clockwork the way that they do. Just the fact that the TV screens always pop on with Jigsaw's message the exact second the victim wakes up is highly unlikely. If you watch the special features they sometimes had trouble getting the traps to work for filming and that's with all the people right there WITH the traps! And multiple people who built them!Anyway suspend your disbelief for a ridiculous number of things watch it for the psychological aspect and you have an enjoyable movie franchise. I don't generally like horror so I don't own too many horror movies but I would probably rate this as my alltime favorite horror series.
love the franchise I had to complete my collection and finish the story but I really wish jigsaw was on more of the movies.
not so much a final piece but broken into ridiculous pieces The saw movies have never been grade A entertainment but I swear they only get worse and worse. Bobby Dagen is abducted with his wife and friends and forced to play a mortal game to save himself and his beloved wife.
good Great deliverygood flick ties up the saw franchise but a little cheesy could have been better but otherwise decent flick. but personally i like better all the ones before this.
FIFTYNINE DOLLARS!!!????? Sorry but this rating is for the outrageous price Amazon is selling this for $59.95 in the USA as of the writing of this review. Just a few weeks ago it was selling for $35.95WTF???!!!!! My best investment was to purchase a multiregion Oppo brand Bluray 3D player IT PLAYS EVERYTHING!!So I bought this SAW FINAL CHAPTER Bluray 3D version from the Amazon.co.uk site for £7.00GBP that's about $10.92USD. The 3D is great!If you like 3D? EXPAND YOUR VIEWING/PURCHASE OPTIONS like I did and I'm sure you'll be happy to find other savings like SANCTUM 3D for £7.99 THE HOLE for £8.99 and PIRANHA 3D for £4.
Very Bland Movie to End the series I'm a big fan of the first three Saw films but they could have really stopped at the third one because of the rest of the franchise heavily relied on flashbacks so that Tobin Bell could be a part of all the films. So for four films straight we have to get the backstory of Jigsaw and tie up any loose ends from the six previous films. If they knew they were going to use Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith for these films then should have kept them alive and not kill them off so early.Saw VII was bad not the worst in the franchise but very bad nonetheless and opens up the possibility of an 8th film if they so decide to do so. That's why End is in quotation marks in my title.
When it all is said and done The Finale I can't say I didn't enjoy it. And any fan who has a love for the traps won't be disappointed by the ones the main character/group has to go through.For those who like Saw for it's perfectly unflawed linear storyline. This movie might get under your skin. Only one scene really picks at the linear timeline but if you can work yourself to get over it or even find a way for it to make sense in your head then there's nothing to worry about.Saw The Final Chapter a decent ending to the incredible franchise that originally started with a vision that James Wan & Leigh Whannell had all those years ago.
It just can't be the last movie. Well I saw that movie many times. I can only recommend it. It's one of the best. I saw it without 3d. It was on a DVD which I bought from ebay. I love the whole story in the movie. e.g cherish your life etcBut not only this. The actors are doing a great job. Especially Costas MandylorMark Hoffman. And the end is very impressive. I was really disappointed when I heard that it is the last saw movie. I cannot believe this.
This is where the Saw series goes completely down the drain ! From the pink blood to the horrible 3D this movies just plain sucks and let's not forget about the bad acting! Hopefully they finally get it now and just quit with this series like they should of done after the third one. I gave out 2 stars just for the comedy though I don't think it was intentional.
A Sad End What makes the Saw movies interesting aren't the traps or gore but Tobin Bell's Jigsaw. The moral complexity. The questions of what a person will do to survive. It was a kind gross out vigilante horror film and it worked. Saw The Final Chapter loses that little complexity that the franchise has and lacks any coherent story. There are no clever tricks in the narrative no real gotcha moment that were present in earlier entries of this series. It's simply gave in to being torture porn and that's all you get. Trap after trap that can't be beaten each one grosser than its predecessor. The films were never genius filmmaking but there was always a subversive sense of fun in Jigsaw's traps being a kind vigilante justice.
