Saw 3D

"Saw 3D" B-

It has been a long time since I have reviewed a movie and I have seen a few movies, so I think it is time to put some more reviews on here. On Halloween, we celebrated by seeing Saw 3D. Was it good? Yes. Was it the best Saw out of the entire thought provoking franchise? No, it was pretty much all about the 3D. In 2004, we started out with an indie like horror movie called Saw, which displayed a different side of Cary Elwes, and brought out a new horror star named Tobin Bell. The first Saw showed an in your face twist ending, along with a few grueling traps. Saw II, III and IV came out, courtesy of director Darren Lynn Bousman, Saw V from David Hackl, and Saw VI and VII from Keven Greutert. The first Saw revolutionized the horror genre in my opinion, II was a good follow up, III was thought to be the conclusion, but then IV was made and then V and VI was made, creating new layers to the story. Well, VII, named 3D, is the conclusion of the entire series. And while it does a good job of wrapping everything up, it is all about the traps it seems, and making the audience say, Wow! That trap was cool... in 3D! Let's watch a saw fly at the screen, a key fly at the screen, and lets have one of the traps be in your face. The opening trap in the movie bordered on ridiculous, but it had originality for sure, and it gave new meaning to shopping at an outlet mall. Saw 3D was a good conclusion to the series and it even answered some questions we were all wanting answers for from the first one. Overall, it was a pretty good movie, but certainly did not need to be in 3D to be enjoyed.
