hi i miss saw moive now more forever saw want my best moive forever piz came back make 1 more moive
(
i really enjoyed saw 3d, i actually liked the way they wrapped it up. of course there's a little opening for another movie, it's a horror franchise isn't it! the movie didn't really have to be scene in 3d, there's really no 3d effects in it. but that's what 3d is today, just to enhance the picture. i miss the gimmicks 3d use to offer. and hoffman was just a son of a bitch is this, damn he was wicked. fun movie, almost hate to see saw come to an end.
I have to agree about the 3D aspect of this movie. It was pure and utter crap. The stuff that SHOULD of been flying out of the screen went so quickly you could not even see it. It was a waste of money to even see it in 3D. If anyone else has not seen it yet and plans on seeing it, I HIGHLY recommend seeing it in 2D. Save yourself the extra money.
I think what happened to this franchise is the same thing that has happened to all the other previous ones. It has been filtered through some many people that they forgot what made the movie popular in the first place. The ingenious traps (which stopped being so around 3), the spin put on the serial killer genre (which also stopped around 3), the twists, and great story line (which all seemed to fall apart around 3 as well). They seemed to think that the fan boys are mindless zombies who feed off of over the top violence. I do, however, admit to liking some excessive gore when used correctly, IE Dead/Alive. They seemed to drop the shocking twist endings, story, and ingenious traps for superlative bloodshed. They should have kept Darren on as directer, kept Lee as writer and spent more time polishing the overall film. They seemed to be obsessed with giving us one film a year around the same time. I feel this is what made the franchise suffer most. I would have preferred them to take longer on developing a script then turning them out as quick as they did. Did anyone else feel like they just looked on the message boards for ideas on how to end it or is it just me?
****SPOILERS****
Okay so I went to this movie Thursday night thinking it would be pretty damn good, right? WRONG. It was the weakest of the series that left me disappointed with how it was all wrapped up...that is, if they don't decide to make another one (The Final Destination anyone?). The traps were clever, I will admit that. The effects were pretty shitty though. I was disappointed with that. They failed to properly clean up plot holes from the previous films and the side story was a total bore. The 3D sucked, as about 5 scenes actually had stuff popping out of the screen. At some parts where there was steam it looked like it was coming out of the screen...the director's claims that there would be lots of limbs flying at you was a total lie. Most of the people died in their traps with things like sharp metal bars put in them. Pretty boring. I was shocked somewhat at the end when the DR from the first movie turned out to be involved this whole time. Definitely unsatisfied with how they handled Hoffman, I thought he would be put in a trap and die. They should have done that because now it's wide open for more movies. Plus Dagen, the one who lied about being in a trap, he never died. Also, the whole people in the traps being connected to each other or Jigsaw just totally went to shit. The racists in the car junkyard, what was their connection to him? No clue. That confused me. Just like the first one with the two guys and the chick. How did Jigsaw know about them? Either way it was a disappointing end to a series that a lot of horror fans have come to love for the fact that it delivers an impressive amount of gore. I wouldn't waste my money on the 3D if I were you.
52 minutes ago
**spoiler** they didnt even end it, they only claimed it to to be the finale so more people would see it. they left it open for at least 1 more good 1, they should have cut out a few trap scenes, for scenes of Dr. gordon adn jigsaw's relationship
I saw the movie at the Thursday showing last night, and I have to agree with another reviewer....I am actually left quite dissappointed.
I honestly found that alot of the special effects in this one actually looked fake, and they went so over the top with some of the gore that it actually didn't look real as well.
My biggest gripe is that they have really marketed this as the big finale, the last Saw movie! Like it is going to be some big extravaganza....and it really isn't anything special. I was expecting the writers to come up with something awesome and for it to make the whole movie just epic, but nope, just felt like another Saw movie.
A great comparison for this movie is saw 4 or 5 I think it is.....the one with Jeff where he has to complete all of those tasks/traps ...well this one has the exact same kinda scenerio with a guy who has to complete all his challanges to reach his ultimate goal...they've done that scenerio before.
They definitely leave it open at the end and you know if they make enough money they will find a way to keep doing more...just remember "The FINAL Destination" which was also suppose to be the last and they made enough money....
Overall...I would give this a 6 or 7, first Saw movie I think I have ever walked out and just kinda been like...MEH...it was ok. Crappy way to end the series if it is indeed the end.
**SPOILER**SPOILER** So I saw the film at 8pm on Thursday. The very first showing of the film in my area. And I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. They seemed to have ended it. SEEMED. There is still a way that the franchise could be rebirthed if they choose to. I hope they don't but you never know with money hungry Hollywood. Everyone dies. EVERYONE! And it is, by far, the most violent Saw film ever made, if not the most violent big budget film I have seen thus far. I was surprised at how much they were allowed to show. The very end of the film seemed to had been written by the fan boys via message boards. I was hoping they would take what we have said and mix it with some originality. Nope. Everything that was speculated panned out. Kind of disappointed. I was hoping they would explain why he picked who he picked for the traps since the trailer had Tobins voice over saying "All my work has been leading to this". It didn't seem that way at all. It was like all the others preceding it. This one just seemed to have everything deteriorate because of Hoffman. This one also seemed to have the most pointless reasoning behind why someone must be faced with death. The opening trap is the two guys tied to the saws in a box outside. The reason this happens is because they have both been played by the same girl. They were manipulated by her. She forced them to steal for her materialistic ways. This doesn't seem like a good reason to kill someone. They both decided to let her die after she tells each of them she loves them and to kill the other based on who has the upper hand at the time. Also, the way they have Jigsaw explain the traps is comedic at times. It seemed like they were bored and wanted to see what they could get away with. The doll rides in on the tricycle during the first trap and crashes through a window while locked in a cage later on in the film. All in all I was disappointed. I was expecting more explanations. I wanted to know why he chose the people he did? Why must his work continue after his death? Why did Hoffman continue to follow Jigsaws orders when their was no one to enforce them? So many things just seemed to happen "just because" and that didn't seem very Jigsawesc.
**Spoiler** To answer "why" Hoffman continued is because he loved to kill! They point that out in the new one. But the final saw movie, is a big plot hole, saw 6 was jigsaws finale, hoffman was suppose to die at the end, but hitting the delete key on hoffman dies, they switched it to hoffman survives, making saw 3d the final movie. I have to say it was a really weak saw movie, but i got the ending i wanted, so i can't be too disappointed.
I couldn't stand the poor acting in this movie, there was no talent at all in this movie, i had not emotional connection to any character, i could careless if somebody died...maybe except Hoffman and Jill, only because they had developed characters. But I have to say, Hoffman, at the end, was fucking awesome! The Car scene was there only to remove the police away from Jill, that was a Hoffman trap, not Jigsaw.
Finally, I was saddened that Tobin had very few screen time. This was the last saw movie (maybe) and he was hardly in it!
The only thing I don't know is, who were the other people with Dr. Gordon at the end? He didn't work alone. which invokes more saw movies...nothing like bitter survivors trying to make other people value their life. Plus, Gordon has money to buy materials for traps, he's a doctor. He had two traps already, the first trap in saw 2 and the the first one in saw 4, and helped with saw 3.
In my opinion, there will be more. It was the ending to Jigsaws legacy.
cant wait seen them all till this 1 came out want to go see it in 3D soooo bad i swear im gonna shit myself lol
bring on SAW 7
In 2004 the games began and now in 2010 its GAME OVER!!!!
Saw has it's first showing at 8pm Thursday in my area. Tickets already bought!
I'm planning on going to see SAW VII on Friday, I ahve only seen SAW I, would I have to have seen 2, 3 & 4 for this film to make sense?
You should probably see 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 or you will have no idea whats going on. Saw is confusing even if you have seen them all if you don't pay attention not seeing then but seeing the last one you will be totaly lost
It would be a very good idea to watch the others before youo go to see it or you wil miss out on alot and you will be confused.
lol i kinda got the movie..lol. i LOVEs it<3 wanna see it already!
In clip 3 I think Jill dies
Man I didn't want her to die!!! 
I love the saw movies but seriously guys you have to stop!
There is just so far you can go with saw, the first 3-4 were great but afterwards it just started getting confusing and tiering. The plots are completely twisted and half the people we thought were dead some how aren't. dont get me wrong I love watching them and being surprised with whatever twist they have coming but they really have to be careful with how far they push the story. Thankgod this is the last one i pretty excited to see this! In 3D
i cant wait to go watch it, it will be my first time watching a 3d movie

Man clip 1 makes me want to see this even more
I can't wait for this its gonna be AWESOME
!!! I hope it ends with the classic quote "GAME OVER!!!" and of course Saw's awesome theme song 
I am really thinking this will NOT be the last. I think they are using the 3D to restart The franchise and I have felling that if that if they get the turn out at the theaters that I think they will they will jump on another One at least one more.
i think im the only persone on earth who fell asleep watching saw...
after the one with the man sawing jigsaw' throat up i decided they went to far into the awfulness.
I'm not a big fan of 3D movies period, but I will make an exception for this movie. Watching Saw I-VI individually leaves alot of viewers with a ton of questions, but I actually sat down and watched them all at one time, and it made alot more sense.
Not being a big fan of the pyscho-type/slasher genre (too many psycho's in real life for my tastes), I enjoyed these movies because the actual story line is compelling and original. Which in today's movie/TV jump-on-the-bandwagon of whatever is popular, is quite refreshing.
I could care a frogs fat ass what the haters have to say about these movies to me they are all awesome and I am looking foreward in seeing this.Buy the way,how long will it take for Hollywood to remake the first one lol?
I believe that even if they remake the Franchise, the it will be anther 15 to 20 years. They just finished with this one saying it will be the last. If they start a remake now, First, it would not be any different than what it is now at all, and Second it would make little to no cash, because the fans would not pay to see something remade that does not need to be. Some would even start to hate the Franchise. I love it but maybe a rest after the 7th one for a little while would be good. I will miss them though.
In 15 to 20 years if Saw gets remade Tobin Bell will probably be dead or to old to act then there goes jigsaw. Then they try to get a new jigsaw that isn't even near as good as Tobin. That all cause the remake to be really bad, so I hope this never gets remade even though im a huge Saw fan.
I can agree with that. At least if it is remade then I don't want to be alive when they do it. But to tell the truth i don't even think they will make a remake at all. All that is going to be done after Saw VII is the fan films that are going to be made and are being made.
This better be good, last one just left me baffled, confused and lost. I was slightly disappointed with the trailer.
Hey that's CHESTER BENNINGTON from Linkin Park in the picture with the broken glass!?!? He has a cameo in the film i guess! I hope they don't kill off Jill "Betsy Russell".
Yeah it is Chester
and I also hope they don't kill off Jill but hope they kill Hoffman 
I hope this is the last SAW ever made! After part 3 the franchise went down hill. People seem to be more intrested in what the next big trap will be instead of good acting or a good plot. End this crappy franchise ASAP.
Im one of those people. I agree with just about everyone that say after 3 it went downhill. Just love the traps now. Favorite are the begining and ending of Saw 6, and beginning of 5.
A second saw videogame is being made
Everyone knows the series went downhill after 3, BUT WHO CARES?? The Saw movies are fun! and because this one is in the third dimension, it will probably be just as good as 3, but not better than 2 or the original
this is probably going to be the best saw I hope, but they shouldnt have put it in 3d.. and im wondering whats going to happen between hoffman and jill tuck
well the good thing is that at least this series is going out with a big finally
Don't get me wrong, I love the franchise but I can hardly remember what the happened in the third up 'til the Vth installment. Though I'm still excited to see VII th and thankfully last installment.
I cannot wait for this! i demand 2 things, more Amanda!, and Jill better not die! also random but does anyone know how many traps there are in all the films?
there are about 52 traps in all 7 films
I hope it ends with Dr. Gordon killing Hoffman then saying "Game Over" that would be the best ending
I have to say I am glad to see it come to an end just because after the last one where you really got to see how this all started for Jigsaw I want to see if the policeman (if he is still alive that is) gets away with killing all those feds at the end of Saw 6.
By policeman you mean Detective Hoffman and he is alive his actor is listed above (Costas Mandylor)
Here are the first 8 minutes of Saw 3D
http://www.fearnet.com/news/b19685_saw_3d_first_8_minutes_revealed.html
THE BIGGEST SPOILER YET:) saw 7, and i quote "There will be a trap that the producers would not allow in previous Saw films that they described as "too violent", "too disgusting", and "just wrong". and producer melton said and i quote "Melton called it the "Garage Trap" which will involve a car and a chain reaction." Also Producer Oren Koules said that there are eleven traps in the film, the most ever in the franchise.
I thought that the only ones that were decent were I-III
!!SPOILER!!
My dad was working as a security guard on the set of this
He got pictures of some of the sets, but he also got a picture of a trap. It's of a human hampster wheel lol. All the info my dad got was that a girl was gonna be running on it and if she slows down/stops then a guy will die. I can't show the pictures cause my dad will get in shit lol.
The last one didn't do very well so I don't know why Lionsgate feels the need to put a new one out. Aren't they getting the message. I mean I love Tobin Bell and all but come on already!
I remember reading after the success of the first Saw movie, they planned on releasing a new one yearly. I guess they kept their promise. Hey, if this keeps up, they'll catch up soon with F13th.
(According to the Wikipedia page) There will be a trap that the producers would not allow in previous Saw films that they described as "too violent", "too disgusting", and "just wrong".
