CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

TheLittleSongbird Finally saw all the 'Saw' films prior to seeing 'Jigsaw' (as part of my wanting to see as many 2017 films as possible this year, during a quieter and less intensive period). Heard a lot about the films, good and bad, but wanted to see them for myself to know what to expect.The films as an overall series are a very mixed bag. While not without its faults, the first film is the best, followed by the second and sixth, while the just straining average fourth film is bang in the middle and the fifth and especially this being the weakest. 'Saw 3D: The Final Chapter' couldn't have been a more underwhelming finish to a variable franchise and evidence of the novelty of a great premise being now well and truly dead. All the mistakes seen in the third and fifth films are repeated here and amplified while more is made on the way.'Saw 3D: The Final Chapter' is not a completely irredeemable mess. The music score is still eerie and in something of a miracle Tobin Bell cuts a malevolent presence despite Jigsaw being even more underused and misused than in 'Saw V'. Sean Patrick Flanery is also pretty good.Everything else fails. Visually, 'Saw 3D: The Final Chapter' is the worst-looking of the series. It's neither elaborate, claustrophobic or atmospheric, instead it's just extreme shoddiness and not only was the 3D very amateurishly constructed and poorly used it was completely pointless. Had a hard time believing that the same director who did so well in the previous instalment in tightening and steadying things and toning down what was done excessively in 'Saw III' and 'Saw V' also directed this film, almost like 'Saw VI' had been forgotten.Performances-wise, only Bell and Flanery are good. Everybody else has to work with thinly sketched characters that are either dull, annoying or both and a script that has replaced 'Saw V's' as the dreariest, most fatigued and contrivance-heavy one of the series. The excessively bland Costas Mandyler and irritating Chad Donella are especially poor.Mystery, suspense and creepiness are also completely missing, thanks to the shoddy production values, the over-reliance on gratuitously gruesome gore and violence, the serious lack of credibility and the severely rushed pacing. Although 'Saw 3D: The Final Chapter' has the highest trap/death count, it's also the most illogically and repetitively plotted 'Saw' entry. There is nothing clever or imaginative about the traps and demises (a huge problem when the whole film was basically a series of them), no surprising or logical twists and the ending has to be one of the most anti-climactic ones in horrordom.Overall, what started as a promising franchise completely petered out in the flattest of ways here. 2/10 Bethany Cox

Zeeshan Mahmud Well what were people expecting going in? To see a fiery filibuster monologue? Mr Smith Goes to Washington? Citizen Kane? (not that I have seen it) Rhett and Scarlett O'Hara? It *is* supposed to be a fast food movie to satisfy your craving. I mean it *is* supposed to have:a solid 'hook' for opening scene (which I really loved) - crazy creative entrapments - ex cathedra speech as tapes and videos are played - social justice, making people pay for their 'crimes' - end sceneIt is a boilerplate movie and supposed to follow the cliché script. I mean even Sherlock has become formulaic as the Season 4 installment began. People expect it to be 'creative' but how much do you think the director and producers should work on it? I don't think they need to overdo it.If you are watching this series in a marathon, you will get bored. So best is to give a buffer time - which I did- and gladly enjoyed it to the last bit.Not every entertaining movie has to be Dostoevsky you know..

alvarobdc Year 2003, James Cameron made "Ghost of Abyss" know one of the best 3D films in XXI century. Later, in 2009 he made "Avatar" probably the best 3D film ever. This made producers want to make 3D films, and that's OK, but only if you can do it right.Watching a 3D film is exhausting, it asks you for a huge visual effort, that usually it is not rewarding.So SAW producers decided to implement 3D in their film. -Why? +To see chainsaws coming at you or someone bleeding in your face, who does not like that?Yeah, including 3D had no other reason than to follow the fad, and that is not how you make films, not at all. The plot is not too bad, it is just a little bit wasted, because you have made 6 films before about the same theme, but it is normal. Since the first film, SAW attracted a lot of loyal viewers, that were down to see every SAW film. Maybe because of gore, maybe because the plot, we do not know, but there they are.In my opinion they abused the use of 3D and that made them lose a lot of viewers because the plot it is not too bad, but 3D made the whole film turn horrible.

Rickting 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
