    This movie proved that Tobin Bell is a STAR, even at 81 years old. I agree that X is one of the best in the entire franchise. I genuinely didn't expect it to be as good, and effective, as it was.

    The series definitely shot itself in the foot when they killed John Kramer in the third one. He's a standout horror villain for me because he has an actual philosophy, an edict that he lives by as he does these terrible things. All the other antagonists who came after in the series had relatively generic reasons for putting people into traps. Kramer is one of the few horror antagonists whose agenda has some actual philosophical intrigue behind it, one that can be considered flawed from a number of angles, but it's still interesting to see in a genre that's know for its one-note killers that just kill for the sake of it. This movie is definitely starting off on the right foot by recognizing their golden goose and putting him at the center of the story.

    This movie finally felt like a Saw movie for the first time in 13 years. I’m happy they were able to get Hoffman back into the story, albeit for a small, but crucial role. Although Saw is my favorite horror franchise, I feel that by the end of the original 7 films, there weren’t many loose ends and as viewers we already know the fate of almost all characters in the franchise. This leads me to believe if writers will continue to make new installments, we will receive unnecessary information about a story that already ran its course long ago.

    *spoiler*
    I looked at the traps of the movie slightly differently with this info. The eye pull trap for example, an engineer would have to have excellent physics knowledge to pull this off, or the chemical reaction traps for example.

    Big props for mentioning the simple thing near the end. The fact that it looks and feels like a Saw movie is a big reason why I’m excited to see it. Saw 8 aka Jigsaw didn’t look like a Saw film AT ALL. Too bright, too soft, too clean. The normal colors were gone as was the grit. Spiral looked a little more like a Saw movie (being directed by Darren Lynn Bousman of course, director of Saw 2,3 and 4), but that was like a Saw movie trying to look like Seven, if you know what I mean. This looking legitimately like a Saw movie was the second thing that got me excited, after Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith both returning and having bigger roles of course.

      That's definitely one of the biggest issues with the franchise after John/Amanda are killed off. John's apprentices often don't give their victims a chance to survive so the traps lose a lot of their appeal. Doing a story in between #1 and #2 fixed that issue immediately.

    One flaw with this saw movie is if a person fails the test simply because they lacked an extra literary 1 second or 2, through Kramer’s eye they didn’t have enough will to survive. But that’s clearly false because they went through the pain, they had the will but just needed an extra 5 seconds or so

    I guess if you really wanted a "logical" way out of the notion that they both went up into the room and took the money to trap themselves, then you can consider the fact that the torture rack was designed for both villains to be trapped in, but that was under the assumption that the one villain wouldn't try to reclaim the gun. So if you want to imagine, there may have been a third trap, or another layer, hidden somewhere that was not even revealed because it didn't need to be revealed. A stretch but given what is known about that sequence it's entirely possible.

    I'm 25 and I'm excited to take my 13 year old brother to see his first Saw movie 😂😂 hoping he gets grossed out by the gore. Despite us watching John Wick 4 together this year 😅

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MOVIE! Saw 10 and Saw 1 are my personal favourite films of the entire franchise. Amanda and John are what make the movies great ❤️👏🏻

    It was amazing. I loved this movie. It fit perfect between 1 and 2.

      It just felt like a SAW movie for the sake of it…
      The ending was poor.
      And it didn’t really tie in to any of the other SAW films.
      Good movie but felt let down how it didn’t tie in. 😢

    The most refreshing thing was seeing Tobin Bell given the freedom to act a full movie

    I liked Saw 4 and 5. Strahm was my favorite character and i liked how 5 felt like a twisted detective tv show episode.

    Such a great entry into the series. Finally took the series back to what made it great instead of just trying to follow the same formula of increasingly elaborate traps with as much gore as possible. They had suspense, and character development so we actually had a real sense of why these people were put in traps to begin with instead of just throwaway characters to get the death numbers up like the franchise had been doing for many years. The series had really fallen into the self-parody trap of trying to constantly outdo itself that losing the essence of what made it great to begin with. Tobin Bell was always the only Jigsaw, and the series never was able to reach the same heights with the other killers. The simple is better approach to the storytelling is so refreshing for this franchise. I was a little irked with how little time he gave the victims to escape their traps so it felt like they had no chance to escape, but the writing really put us on Jigsaw's side here by making it so personal with what they did to him. I also felt the twists at the end relied too much on foresight of relying on characters to behave a very specific way which wasn't believable. This irked me as well, but I guess it wasn't as ridiculous as many of the other movies in the franchise had done.

    If we're lucky, we'll get Saw XXX by 2069.
