Saw 3D

Saw. The first one was utterly amazing. I’m not talking about the torture-porn, “make you watch a guy cut off his own foot” aspect. I’m on about the psychological effects of what people will do to stay alive. Since then it has unfortunately devolved into ever increasingly inhumane traps. So, with this supposedly being the last, it has taken the leap to 3D.

Saw 3D follows on from the last film. If you can remember what the “story” was, congratulations but most people gave up long ago when the Jigsaw killer himself gave up on life. Story aside, the new plot and traps are absolutely nothing new. Seriously. It has got to the point where there are starting to be more flashbacks than new elements. And the 3D? Forget’a bout it. Save a few cliche effects, it is worthless to the point of detracting from what is left of the film.

If you’re a diehard Saw fan you’ll see this. But anyone else should give it a miss.
