It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
I love the saw franchise, but man I hate to be this guy. Being a fan of the first 6. So 10 years later, bodys start appearing around the area. Obviously people point fingers at the jigsaw killer aka john Kramer or a copycat. As the boring dull police investigation drags, we see 5 victims stranded in a barn with tests yet to complete. Now, I was excited for this. After walking out of the theater, I wasn't just overwhelmed.. But I also thought to myself ".... I know the director of saw 2 didn't put any effort in part 4, but damn..." The traps were uninspired and less creative to the extreme. There was dread/fear in the previous saw movies especially the first 3 but in this one they take all of that away and rely on heavy CGI and easy tame ideas to get filming done quicker... cough cough GRAIN SILO.. cough... SILO WIRES...Borrowing all things from the first 7 and toning everything down is a big mistake especially for a hardcore saw fanatic. Everything felt unfinished and unsatisfying, but I still had high hopes for the "great ending" that the directors were hyping up about. spoilers but.. not just the horrible cgi at the end, but that twist really wasn't a twist to me. It just added something to the timeline that made everything even more complicated... not in a good way either. John CLEARLY said in 7 that Dr Gordon was his very first associate/apprentice. So I just dont see how the barn game/new apprentice thing was all before 1.. just makes it frustrating. overall it was just too tame. I know they were grabbing new viewers to see new life of the saw series but it really was overall recycled ideas executed in the most boring dullest ways... unsatisfying at best.
So a fresh start, with a throwback and still one major player from the whole franchise. But how you may ask? Are they mad? And wasn't it definitive what happend to Jigsaw in Part 3? And while this may be the one Saw that does not depend too much on you having seen (m)any of the previous entries into the franchise.And as was usual with the movies, you know the movie tries to trick you to believe in certain things, just to pull the rug from under you. Now that twist does not work for me and I think there are more holes in the story than in a swiss cheese. But there are also the usual traps and deaths and the suspense you go through with all the characters involved. So while it's not the best entry (imho), I reckon you can watch it - there are still stories to be told, the question is if there is still that much of an audience if you don't radically change certain things ...
Film to show off the abilities to make bloody corpses and gruesome props. Like to old Batman entrapped but here, no Batman is trapped. Psychopathic cunundrums, psychopathic revenges, psychopathic psychopath! Good for draculas.
Govno iz Zhopi. Dont Watch It. Nice way to get easy money.
