Alors, j’espère que c’était bel et bien la dernière apparition de Jigsaw, parce que sept films, ça fait beaucoup et ça pourrait faire jalouser d’autres franchises ! Je m’attendais à quelque chose de plus fort avec la 3D ; certains pièges étaient à nouveau bien pensés, mais d’autres n’avaient aucun sens. Dans la première scène, on sentait venir les choses. Costas Mandylor assure dans tous les films de la série. :-)

I actually admire the writers for the fact that even for the seventh time, they manage to come up with a twist that turns everything that happened before upside down. Regardless, for the umpteenth time, I have to wonder at the insanity of the minds of the trap designers. I’m also not even sad about the fact that no director is able to rise above the subject matter and inject some perspective into it. Yet the combination of so much marble combined with blood splatters á la Jackson's splatter films (the color of blood included) does entertain us in the "other" way.

To be clear, I like the Saw franchise, some of the entries more than others, yes, but so far it has quite impressed me and the craftsmanship has remained at least at an average level (and let’s be honest, which horror franchise with more than five entries can boast about something like this? Likely none). That said, I can’t like the seventh and last part of the series. It’s not because of the craftsmanship (Greubert is fairly competent) or because there isn’t enough blood (the originality and number of traps is above-par), but because the script of Saw 7 dishonours all the story so far. I could accept the lapses of logic throughout the film, but the nonsense that wants to be the twist of the entire saga really outraged me. I don’t understand it, I don’t believe it, it must have been put together by some teenage fan with an IQ close to idiocy (from below) in a discussion forum without any logical basis other than the argument that “it’s shocking”, and the clueless creators read it and used it because they didn’t know how to get out of all that. This is a very unsatisfactory conclusion for Saw.

A series that squeezes every bodily fluid to the last drop. The confusing script tries to put together randomly collected characters from different parts, overturns some plot twists, and not only destroys the ending of the sixth film but sometimes also the atmosphere of the entire saga. The weak positive aspect is the tragic main hero Bobby in Sean Patrick Flanery's sympathetic portrayal, but that's where the praise ends. On a strongly poisoned one-star rating, which is a sad disgrace for this once appealing bloodbath.

Saw 3D is a tribute to the entire series, but that also means it's a rather unfinished, unresolved film. It's like they've been searching for Jigsaw's successor the whole time, which is indeed what they're looking for, but the screenwriters have tangled it up so much that you feel like they're just spinning their wheels, constantly dropping the ball and then picking it up again to spin it once more. It's worn out, clichéd, and let's face it, the technical brilliance can't save it for the umpteenth time. The open ending clearly calls for another installment, and I hope if it happens, it will be without flashbacks.
