Review of Saw 3D (2010) by Aaronm — 29 Oct 2010

Saw 6 and Saw 7 (or Saw 3D as it's titled) went against the essence of the entire franchise. The greatness of the first five movies was the possibility of redemption, and how traps had the ability to teach lessons.

Yet, the producers and directs have chosen gore and violence over cleverness, and it's so disappointing. I saw the movie in 3D and I don't think the 3D effects were used enough, and it's not like theaters are set up to spray you with red water when you see blood splatter so the 3D is really a gimmick.

I can say, I'm glad the series has ended because what once had intriguing twists and outcomes eventually lost those very things that made it so great.
