All of the Saw movies have been enjoyable and Saw: The Final Chapter was also on par. This wrapped up the other movies in this saga to a great end. The Jig-Saw survivors have a support group led by a self help guy who also survived a Jig-Saw trap. Someone from the group must atone for a lie and go through one last trap.

Ahh, the Saw movies.

Extremely BRUTAL & SADISTIC in every way. The latest installment proves that this series went down swinging!!

The creators pulled out all the stops in giving the loyal fans something they'll never forget when this film reached it's very violent & bloody conclusion. And for that, I'm thankful. This film not only has some of the best traps, (Like The BRUTAL Garage Trap) but also has the best story that carefully wraps the series up.

I'm glad that the Saw series has finally found the closure it did. It deserves a good ending with an AWESOME twist!!

John Kramer wanted to play a game and now it's coming to an end with Saw: The Final Chapter (previously Saw 3D for theatrical release) . After six Saw movies I suspect that if you're currently reading this, you're obviously a fan who followed the Saw franchise. If you've never cared for Saw or always hated the franchise this one probably won't change your mind. However, for fans it's a fitting end to the series and we owe it to ourselves as fans to see this "final" Saw. After all we followed the entire series and waited year after year to see the new Saw movie (I personally did). In the past we've seen Jigsaw die, the rise and fall of Amanda Young, Hoffman taking control and countless victims die. The seventh Saw brings something the other Saw movies didn't have : 3D, hence the title Saw 3D (although it is also referred to as Saw VII). The Final Chapter ends it all, we get answers it and has the most traps out of all the Saw movies. Speaking of traps, they're not bad at all but I felt it was almost impossible to outdo what they previously did (Saw VI had some pretty interesting ones). The 3D, however, offers something different and makes VII that much more disgusting and gory.

Saw 3D is all about putting the pieces of the puzzles together and end Saw while it's time (no one wants Saw 14 do they?) to. This time around we're following Bobby Dagen who wrote a book called "Survive" about his fake experience as a victim of Jigsaw. Dagen achieves fame because of his book and Jigsaw is determined to give him what he deserves. At the beginning we see a flashback sequence of Dr. Lawrence Gordon which finally explains what happened to him after the events of Saw 1 (I'm not spoiling anything, fans have been wondering what happened to Gordon ever since the original Saw, it's about time we found out). ) We also see what happens to Jigsaw's wife, Jill, who's been somewhat of a mystery since Saw V. Hoffman's future is also addressed and as claimed nothing is left without an answer. I find it a little insulting to fans that the two most important characters of Saw VII, Jigsaw and Dr. Gordon don't receive enough screen time, especially considering this is supposed to be the final Saw. Jigsaw barely has 2 minutes of screen time for the whole movie (perhaps they killed him a little too early in the series?) and Gordon who is very important to this final Saw doesn't get as much time as he should (his situation is mostly recaps unfortunately).

Saw: The Final Chapter is a fitting ending and puts the pieces of the puzzle together, likely to satisfy the fans but nothing exceptional for the fans who have seen all previous films. There was supposed to be an eight Saw film but after Saw VI did poorly at the box office (when compared to the other Saw films at least) it was decided that it would better for everyone if they ended the series as quick as possible. I think it might have been better had the time been taken to make two separate movies but Saw VII is an entertaining conclusion to the series. I'm not a huge of 3D but I admit it worked well in Saw 3D and it did add some excitement to the series. Most viewers certainly seem to think so. Saw 3D received mostly negative reviews from critics, but Saw movies nearly always get poor reviews from the "professionals" so if you're a fan don't bother with negativity and enjoy it for what it is. I liked Saw VII 3D for what it was, certainly not my favorite Saw film but decent. Regardless of your opinion it's time to admit that the game is over, 3/5.
