I was lucky enough to have seen this movie yesterday, and I went in with high expectations thinking that Kevin Greutert was behind the camera again. But I was sadly disappointed. Saw 3D was a jumbled mess. Only towards the end did it really pay off. And even then, there were STILL things I didn't like. Such as: Dr. Gordon. Why oh why was he in on it the entire time? That is almost bad enough to nearly ruin parts of the first one for me. I mean really? The writers couldn't have come up with an ending that will satisfy all Saw fans, and not just the Gordonites? Seriously! He saws his foot off in desperation to save his family, he cauterizes his wound, he is taken in by John, who heals his wound, then Gordon just decides to side with him? WHAT?! And the worst part is, they don't even shed some light on that. All they do, is show John take him in, heal his wound, then show him doing all of the things a doctor would need to do for the traps, such as the key behind Michael's eye in Saw II, the stitches put on Trevor and Art in Saw IV, and I think that's it. I HATED that. And there was a scene where Dr. Gordon goes up to John and shows Lynn Denlon from Saw III and states that "she'll be perfect." UGH. And if you haven't guessed by now, the package that Jill drops off at the hospital was for Dr. Gordon. Other problems I had with Saw 3D: the acting, the effects, the characters, the unanswered questions, the fact that Cary Elwes and Tobin Bell were BARELY IN THE MOVIE, and the no montage at the end. I could go on, but I seriously would come off as a hater, which I'm not. The ending, on the other hand, was great. It's something that we've ALL expected and wanted for a very long time. It shouldn't disappoint anyone. Predictable or not, we've ALL wanted it to happen. So don't complain that it was predictable. I have an extremely hard time accepting this as a part of the Saw series, just because of the pure fact that no Saw movie is BAD, except for this one. There are also so many more reasons, but I don't want to continue. Saw 3D is easily the worst Saw. Anyone who disagrees with that is either new to the series, or is a Gordonite. I mean, everyone has their own opinion, but I mean come on. I am extremely disappointed. This was just a big slap to the face for all hardcore Saw fans. And I don't blame Kevin Greutert. I blame the writers and the producers for this. Saw 3D was a mess, but I'm sure Saw VII would have been a good movie.
