Saw 3D is (for the most part) poorly scripted, laughably acted and wears it's low budget like a badge of honor.

The one thing it has going for it is a killer of a twist ending, which does nicely wrap up the series, but which I also think has blinded some of the others users on here into thinking they saw a really great film (eg, mrcritic giving it a "9" after admitting the 3D is awful and the acting isn't great -- those are two pretty big factors to only dock 1 point for, in my opinion). The Saw movies stopped being scary a long time ago and now they are just endurance tests for the audience and while Saw VI was one of the stronger entries in the series, Saw 3D is a bland, strictly by-the-numbers affair. Logic and plausibility have never been high on the series checklist, but here they're thrown out the window and any sense of adhering to a realistic timeline is fuzzy at best. Betsy Russell, Cary Elwes and Tobin Bell are all welcome returns but even they can only do so much with what they got. Still, there is that great ending...just don't get duped into thinking it absolves the previous 80 minutes from being anything more than just average at best.… Expand

"Saw 3D" offers nothing. You see massive cliches and blood flying around for 90 minutes. The ending is hurried and the actors perform terribly. I would have given this a 2, BUT what saved the movie is director Greutert's manageable directions"Saw 3D" offers nothing. You see massive cliches and blood flying around for 90 minutes.

"Saw 3D fails to grasp what it has going for it , tho some of the traps are clever & original but with its cheesy effects & laughable performances ii can't take it seriously.

I think Saw 3D is the worst Saw-movie so far. The blood is too pink and this movie focuses more on the traps instead of the characters. This means the viewer can't really feel for the characters.

Hugely Disappointing Ending
Saw: The Final Chapter should’ve been a satisfying close, Instead it focuses WAY too much on 3D and now bland horror.

Not as good as the preceeding Saw's. It's storyline was pretty good, and the traps were well designed, but the 3D could have been improved. This is not state of the art 3D. And the acting was like the other saw movies in the franchise... meh.Not as good as the preceeding Saw's.

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.

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.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ugh. I know that some people were getting sick and tired of the franchise since the 3rd film, but I thought the first 6 films were at least, good. This is actually self parody.

This film starts out with a trap that's shown to the public. Why would Hoffman make this decision? There's 2 dudes and their girlfriend having to fight to see which one dies. There's a way to keep all 3 of them alive, but these guys are idiots. The dialogue is also cringy as hell, and I end up laughing. "I think we're breaking up with you Dina!" just makes me laugh so f**king hard, it's so stupid.
And if you're wondering how that scene and the characters contribute to the story, they don't!

This film should've opened with the garage trap, because the scene has Hoffman blowing up a car to distract the people, so he could take one of the body bags and hide in it to sneak his way to the police station.

There's other problems as well. Gibson is an obnoxious character who's always calling Jill crazy. And he's SO IMPORTANT to the plot that he, gets killed 20 minutes before the film is over and is never mentioned at all. Wtf.
There's also this stupid dream sequence with Jill being killed, and it's just dumb.

Then there's the trap plot. Bobby Dagen's traps has him having to save his co-workers and wife. Out of the 4 people he has to save, all 4 of them die! Why the hell should I care?! You could've kept Cale alive, his death is just getting hanged by a noose. Nina's and Suzanne's deaths were at least bloody and gory, but Cale's is just boring! And Joyce, the wife, is punished more than Bobby is, though she is actually completely innocent!
For his final test, Bobby should've been the one who dies if he fails instead of Joyce!
Also, the trap plot doesn't contribute much to the story, and it ends so early, that I actually forgot about it.

There's other problems like Hoffman murdering a bunch of people at the police station. Not only is this out of character, but he kills so many people, when he only needed to kill Heffner, Palmer, and Rogers!
And then there's the plot twist about Dr Gordon being another Jigsaw apprentice. This adds almost nothing to the plot, except for Hoffman being locked up in the bathroom. If it was just Gordon needed to take action if Jill was harmed, then I would've been fine. But nope, he's another Jigsaw, and this is f**king ridiculous.
Now this film is called Saw 3D, because it was filmed in 3D. The 3D effects are awful, and because it's in 3D, the blood looks pink. There's also this cheap look to this film, and it sucks.

I've been ranting for so long, so let's name some positives. The gory kills are great, like the skinheads deaths in the garage trap, Nina's throat impalements, and Suzzane's eyes and mouth impalements. The Reverse Bear Trap on Jill finally shows someone getting their jaw ripped open, and it's fantastic. The traps are great for the most part, although Bobby's final trap is revealed to be a bunch of bullsh*t, the scene with previous Jigsaw survivors is an interesting idea, and the story is written well for the most part.
But the final product just turned out to be a crappy disappointment. 3.5/10… Expand

I watched it twice, but when I did, it gave me pretty much a headache. I just don't know why. so, whats my opinion of it? well, true. the filming was messy, the writing was kind of sloppy and the acting was poorly, but this movie is enjoyable, yet not memorable, the 3D effects weren't so bad and they were the only saving grace of why this movie is a good lackluster installment in the series. an eighth installment was planned, but due to the decrease in the box office performance for Saw VI compared to previous installments led to Saw 3D being the final planned film in the series, and the plot concept for Saw VIII being incorporated into Saw 3D. Saw 3D is an irritating, but a good way to end the series and thank god it is finally over. Grade: D+… Expand
