Carlos None hit like the OG Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Lain ☆ I don't like Logan or whatever his name is and dumb laser trap Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Josh A Is this the best Saw movie? Nope. It feels more like a spinoff or a reboot, as it is basically a soft reboot. But is this worse than Saw 3D? No way! I, for one, quite liked it as a reboot. I mean, I wouldn't have given it an 8/10 if I hated it. It has its flaws, sure. The traps are quite weak in this one, but even then, it's Jigsaw's first proper game, it won't be a masterpiece. And, it's a decent way to reboot Saw. What you need to keep in mind is that when this was released, there hadn't been any Saw movies for seven years. And, Saw 3D had a very conclusive ending. So we needed to set up a new character to be our main antagonist and we needed to reboot the series. So, Jigsaw was made. They still had John Kramer to tie this to the previous movies, which worked, and it felt like a transition into a new era. The era of Jigsaw copycats. Logan was a pretty good character as well: he was loyal to John Kramer and his teachings, unlike Amanda and Hoffman. This sets him up as an interesting and fascinating presence and hopefully he gets explored more in the future. The main issue, however, is that this doesn't feel like much of a Saw movie. It has a very distinct tone and is quite different. However, to me, it still felt like a worthy entry in the Saw franchise. My favourite trap in this movie was the Shotgun Trap, which was the finale of the original game. It's simple, sure, but the main reason I like it so much is the tension of it. It feels like a big reveal, seeing John Kramer was cool and the realisation that the keys were in the shotgun was great. It's a diamond in the rough. Overall, it's a solid attempt to reboot the Saw franchise and I hope that it's continued at some point, as Logan has potential. Next up, Spiral: From the Book of Saw! A nice spinoff that I've actually been looking forward to for a while. Should be fun! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Justin T This is very much more of the same. By this point we are at the eighth film in the series so you would expect more of what we have seen seven times before. The production design is good. I didn’t like the cinematography as it looked ugly and like a cheap soap opera. The outcomes of the traps were mostly predictable, not that I minded. It is excessively gory and realistically done which, again, is expected. The story was dull with generic characters. It is satisfying in the way that it delivers on your expectations. I noticed though that the traps never went wrong, they work exactly as designed which I didn’t find realistic. Well not much of this is realistic. Some of what the characters know and their actions don’t make sense. It’s okay, if this was the first in the series I think it would also have been the last. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review James B An absolutely amazing saw film that has more violent and modern traps and an ending that will leave you stunned.
