Jigsaw

Very disappointing. Not only they rehashed many ideas from the previous movies, but the final reveal was also done SEVERAL times in the previous saws.

I won't go into details because of spoilers, but every time some plot twist happened in the movie I was like "Wait, they already did that in Saw X". In fact, I since I saw all the Saws (pun intended) I was able to correctly guess what the final reveal will be because like I said, they already done it before.

And most of the traps were just plain dumb, some of them giving a lot of room for cheating, which broke the immersion for me, because the "gamers" were acting like idiots who for some reason switched their brains off and walked into them like sheep. Other traps required pretty much clairvoyance from the Jigsaw, because to set up them the way they went, he would have to see the fricking future.

Early Saws used to be great, but this movie, and several previous ones, are just plain bad and the franchise needs to be put to rest at this point. And if the decide to make another one, just don't rehash the same stuff over and over and over again.

I kind of liked Jigsaw. It's almost a bit of a reboot/legacy sequel, and functions like a decent one early on. As it gets into its final half-hour, it begins to feel like a more traditional Saw sequel, for better or worse. It gets ludicrous when it tries to tie itself more to those past sequels, heading away from the reboot route, but those Saw sequels could also be stupidly fun when they continue trying to justify their existence. I guess that leaves Jigsaw functioning as an alright reboot, until it comes - by this series' standards - a good enough sequel.

I'm sure things would fall apart upon closer inspection, but the movie's fun in the moment and satisfies in the ways some of those older ones did. I don't think it's anywhere near a low point for Saw as a whole, and I did quite like the fact this one looked like an actual movie. Some of those past Saw movies looked terrible and cheap, outside the gory special effects (even those weren't always perfect), but this one's visually sharper and looks like it had more of a budget. Of course, if you prefer these movies looking grungier/sludgier, then that could be an element that proves to detract from this.

It was a good movie, thrilling, good mystery-puzzle and all that. I am a fan of the Saw series, I just don't see a reason why make a sequel to that and continue it while unnecessary and ruin the ''legacy''! And from what I can gather there will be Jigsaw 2 3 etc. It is a good movie, but not as a Saw sequel. Otherwise I recommend watching it to Saw fans. PS: The graphic works could be better.

When a string of dead bodies begin to manifest themselves, the police and a small team of doctors begin to investigate. However, when both doctors and police begin to look in to things further all the evidence points to John Kramer being the suspect despite him seemingly being dead for 10 years...

Like everything that preceded it, Jigsaw is a fun entry you meet the usual antagonists...or are they protagonists??? They all have to face off in Jigsaw's fun house (oddly enough Pat Sharpe is nowhere to be seen on this occasion). Although it's the usual shlock that you'll have seen in the earlier films if you bear with this one then it does have a point and has a story to tell...

One negative, which plagues a lot of these Saw films is the general unlikeability of its leading actors; did you once care for any of these people?? If the answer is No then neither did I... I understand that a lot of Saw films are set up this way, but with this one I really struggled connecting to the characters.

It's also fair to say that the Saw films strain plot credibility, but this one really pushes the boundaries and may make you think "What the hey" Well if it did it for you then it did it for me.

Anyway all joking aside it was nice to see everything tied together here and I have to admit that I was never bored whilst watching this film.

It's a decent ride, but the franchise is skating on thin ice by now. I'm curious about the new film Saw X to see where things are going here, but I'm starting to think that the franchise is getting a bit long in the tooth by now so won't be setting my hopes too high with the latest film.

This is worth a look for the fans, but as with everything that proceeded it if you're watching it then keep your expectations on the low side.

Jigsaw packs a punch like the other SAW movies.

I don't know why people are criticising the film the twist were usually what you expect from the franchise as a huge SAW fan. I really enjoyed the film also Seeing Tobin bell as jigsaw again on screen really what got me watching it in the first place. Also Charlie Clouser's Score is like a cherry on top.
