"Saw 3D" the final chapter, the final cut, in three-dimensional perspective! How good can it possibly be? Don't ask me. I watched it normally with no special effects, just how you are supposed to watch movies. And in that kind of situations like this movie I wonder if it only works if you have some extra gadgets included. Because I don't think it worked that good on its own. Of course it had some good elements to build up the "final" chapter, yet it was flawed with many negative sides. Let's go over the plot first. The action goes straight after the events of Saw VI, and Jigsaw's long-running legacy is coming to an end. While the protagonist Mark Hoffman is after revenge, a new game he organized is starting. Let me just say that I'm not so satisfied with this games compared to the previous movies. The previous ones had that great holding suspense, full of action, epicness and absolutely terrifying scenes. This one was full of that sort of scenes, too, but the action wasn't that gripping. It felt very unoriginal, and the traps the victims were forces to do were ok, I guess. Nothing I got really proud over, there is that one trap scene I was really into, but besides that, like I said, zero. The new characters in this film felt really pushed in, it expended the story so much that it's almost funny. It tried to put more events in Jigsaw's life to make sense to the plot here, but it only made me get confused on the chronology to the story. Yet I understand that Jigsaw had a long life, he met many people, and probably he wanted to "reborn" many of them, but for the audience it can be overwhelming with so many new characters, side stories and even more flashbacks from Jigsaw. Anyways, even if they really failed that elements, I have to admit I liked the final act, the ending for the "final" chapter. It had a really great plot twist, something I never expected, and at the same time bringing up characters from the previous movies. The grand final was very epic, they did that great with good music, fast transitions, and fast paced action that kept going. It was great, but the last scene felt confusing, I don't know if it should have ended like that. I won't say what happened, but what I can say is that it only made confusion, and that's when I decided to remove one star from the rating. Coming over other things, the acting was decent, Saw movie average, they did their job as they were supposed to do, and I can't really complain. The main antagonist Mark Hoffman performed by Costas Mandylor was probably the greatest part, along with Tobin Bell as Jigsaw from the flashbacks. They both are great in their evil roles, and their philosophy and thinking comes very brightly in, I think the both actors did a good job getting deeper into their roles. Summarizing, Saw 3D was supposed to be the final chapter, but it's actually the seventh film in a ten movie franchise. This was supposed to be the grand final, but because it actually wasn't, it didn't felt that great. Many parts of the film were bad, too, but the rating was saved by some good parts and a good final act, yet confusing last scene. I don't think you should watch it, but if you have watched all the previous, I think you should watch this one just to go over it and finish all the films.
