They need to bring back the psychological aspect of the films
they wont they thought it was the torture would sell and it did they just half way made okay story
yeah the first film he killed people who did things that were kind of minor? but after that he starts killing racists and murderers and drug dealers and it makes him seem like a good guy
Shayan Akhavan too late this franchise is dead

Been watching “Chris Stuckman” lately? 😂
The 1st one was the only psychological one, the rest we're kinda just torture porn.
Saw 9: Jigsaw goes to hell
Saw 10: The new beginning
Saw 11: Jigsaw VS ...

Weren't you on Angry Joe's review too?
Luke Horror *too* meaning also

The first 3 were a solid trilogy, the first was the best but the 2nd is my favourite. 4-7 are a mess but a loveable mess
The_other_black_guy
I loved the 6th movie, it’s not good but I loved it.
I'm only now watching these since they're all on Netflix and Jigsaw is out. I'm on 5 and I gotta say that you are totally right.
The_other_black_guy Saw is the best horror franchise because it's like an overly-complex shonen anime that's awesomely stupid.
The next three are good whenever Tobin Bell is on screen... the seventh is shit because Tobin Bell is there for like five minutes
The 6th one was good. Everything else was royal trash except Saw 7. That's stinky trash.
I have to say the best Saw movie by far is the first one! ****Spoiler Alert***** when he gets up and has been the dead body on the floor the whole time you know you were like “Holy Shit!!!!!”
Nic Raines that's the first ONE
That scene with the score of the film gave me chills
one of the brothers friends were like i knew it was him this whole time and we were like get the fuck out of here fuck that
SAMCRO Till I Die Sooooo goood!!! that scene has been etched into my memory for years! Idk if there was ever another scene as good as that in the entire franchise
ruben avila read my comment that’s what I was talking about bro
The first one was the only entry that was worth my time. I adore Tobin Bell (Jigsaw) and the passion of the actors who took part of the sequels, but the first one was the only film in the franchise that felt like something unique.
I've been a hardcore fan of the franchise from the opening weekend of the very first film. You could call it an obsession. I have a dozen props from the movies, I have so many different shirts and hats, shooting scripts for the second and third movies, signed DVDs, and multiple copies of the movies on home release... the first one takes the cake, though, since I have the Fullscreen DVD, Widescreen DVD, Uncut Edition, UMD, Blu-ray, SAW Trilogy DVD box set, and another trilogy box set, but this time with an included Billy the Puppet bobblehead.
Suffice it to say, I was obsessed with the movies, perhaps an unhealthy amount. I loved every one, but SAW VI was the absolute pinnacle of the franchise for me. SAW V took two viewings for me to enjoy, but now I do quite enjoy it. SAW VI, though... aside from the opening trap, that movie is perfection and a complete love letter to the fans.
But saw 3d came around, and oh boy, that movie was a disaster. I don't know if it was all the behind the scenes director drama, the breakup one of them was going through, or just the apparent need to cram two movies worth of traps into a single one, and then strip the story out to a bare minimum... whatever the case may be, it was a devastating blow to anyone that enjoyed the franchise for its complicated story, complex characters, traps with metaphorical and emotional weight, and suspense. saw 3d was the most basic bullshit they could have pulled to appease the people that just watched the trailers for the movies and thought they were just about the blood and gore and traps. It was offensive to me. All these years I had been defending the franchise, saying, "It's not about the blood and gore. It's about the characters and story." But saw 3d completely validated the detractors, and that pissed me off so much, you have no idea.
Anyways. Upon hearing of a new film, I wasn't terribly surprised, but I was frightened. Not having Melton and Dunstan back to write, none of the previous directors to film it... Looking at the crew compared to the previous films, it really does feel like a skeleton crew of what used to be. You of course have the big three producers, Koules, Hoffman (RIP), and Burg. And the executive producers of course (Wan, Testro, and Whannell). And the composer and editor are the same people as usual (A little surprised Greutert returned given the drama that occurred after SAW VI). On paper, it looks like someone is trying to embark on an old ship but with only an infinitesimal fraction of the original ship's crew.
The fact that the movie was apparently shot in October last year and we didn't see any official footage from it until, what was it... July this year? That was a terrible sign. And the lack of marketing up until the release today has been discouraging. 9/10 people I talked to didn't even know a new SAW film was coming out, and this is as of the last few days! It's insane. I feel like they are really trying to make the movie fail, which is unfortunate. I would love for it to be rekindled as a franchise.
So now that I'm done with that ridiculous tangent, I want to give my thoughts on the movie: It's not offensively terrible to the morals of the franchise like 3d, but it is probably my pick for second worst SAW film. Unlike saw 3d, however, I am completely fine calling this one JigSAW. I will capitalize the letters. That little note should help you understand that just because it is the second worst SAW film for me, I am still comfortable enough to give the title respect.
The movie definitely feels different. There are flashframes, random footage speedups, or whip-pans to be found. This feels like a Hollywood production. Which isn't necessarily bad, but one of the things that make a SAW movie a SAW movie is those elements. The music is all over the place. I enjoy the few selections that tie back to old films (especially "Baptism" even if the scene it's used in here is not worthy), but the music very rarely fits what's going on. It is almost like Chucky Clouclou was told to write some basic SAW music and incorporate some of his favorite themes, but he was not given the footage to match it up. It feels like a mad lib, where they just took his score and places it wherever. It works in a couple scenes, but for the most part there is a distinct lack of connection between the visual and the audio. That could have to do with the lack of visual editing tricks seen in previous films, however. I don't know.
The acting I was actually pretty fine with. I thought it was some of the best acting the franchise had to offer, even if the dialogue was not the best. The guy that I thought I would hate (The one that says "No, that's not creepy at all" in the trailer) was not too bad. And the police procedural actors were all great, in my opinion. The people in the traps were pretty good. Better than I would have expected.
The story... hm... I will try to not give anything away, but while the story overall is okay and does the franchise proud, I'm not sure some of the revelations that occur make all that much sense. The best way I can say this without spoiling anything, is that the franchise has slowly evolved from really intimate and simple traps that could easily be set up by one person to overly extravagant traps that would absolutely require more than a few people to pull off. JigSAW seems to ignore that sentiment. And they do something that is kind of neat at first, but upon further reflection, it really does not work. It does not match up.
As far as stuff that happens just in this movie alone, I think this one reeks more of contrived than any other film in the franchise. Like Jeremy says in his review, there are a lot of moments that are precipitated on the right person doing the right thing at the right time. Slightly spoilery here, but how does pulling a tape stop chains from pulling you? How does putting a syringe in yourself stop the chains from pulling you? What if a different person got stuck in the trap? What if that person didn't follow the other person in there? There are loads of questions like there in this one. I know it's something that happens frequently in SAW movies, but I can usually forgive it and don't even mind. But the plot inconsistencies are definitely more apparent here than before, I can tell you that.
I echo my friend's thoughts that JigSAW does not work for the franchise as a whole, and it's best to view it as a competent attempt to bring a fanfiction to life. He hated it, I did not. I think there are things to enjoy in this movie. But a lot of the stuff that happens as far as things connected to the franchise, does not work at all upon closer inspection. But I do not share my friend's animosity towards it.
This got a little long-winder, sorry... But thank you for reading!
Thanks for that read it all and I agree with basically everything
. Hopefully they can find a way to do the franchise right in the next one if there is one.
I do agree that some things that happend are very convoluted especially with how the traps are set to go off and stop. But I enjoyed the movie for what it's worth. It's a very confusing film when trying to piece (ha get it?) together the story. But at the end of the day it still felt like a saw film to me. Honestly, I feel like it's one of the better saw films in the franchise but not the best nor the worst in my eyes. But your thoughts on it are interesting. Well put man. Well put.
Jeremy that intro was creepy as hell
Edward Sanchez Productions the ending is creepier
... more than 200 likes? Jesus, people get scared so easily.
Plat it at 0:75 speed. You can thank me later
Not really.
Better than the movie...
That intro was awesome hahaha
No offense bro u know... But a brotha gotta sleep man
A M B I T I O U S Time zones
Religious Milk idk where he lives but it was close to 2am when the video was uploaded in California
Why do we need time zones anyway? Why can't we all live on the same hour and have all our hours look differently?
Take your ass to sleep
Bruce Wayne it was made for train shifts back in the late 1800s
Why am I even up right now? It’s 5am
blvckraikage I’m up because of school.
work... (sigh)
I'm up because of work
Grave yard shift.
So that's not normal?
Got an advert for Jigsaw over this video! How meta :)
The only Saw movie I like is the first one.
I think thats the opinion of 90% of rational movie goers
@@denardbent3013 no, that's the opinion of boring, generic people. You all write it like it was a unique opinion "only the first one was good!", in the hopes it will make you appear edgy and smart
^ Found the irrational 10%
@@denardbent3013 Rather be "irrational" than unoriginal, predictable, generic and boring
@@leob4403 Sounds like something someone would say to appear edgy and smart
Clicked on this so fast😂
Melissa Morales have you seen it yet?
The Neon Director Nahh I'm going to watch it today
Melissa Morales Well how are you doing today purrty lady ;)
Erkay Hassan you should go drink some water pal and it's you're
Melissa Morales cool, me too.
Really like the fact you did a bit more effort with the intro and outro for this review, jeremy. Hope you do it more often;it´s a good reinvention for your channel, even tho i think you have done it before i just dont remember in which review. You are one the best. Very rarely do i disagree with you on movies and i know i can trust you.
JIGSAW sounds better than the Snowman movie
Saw...what it feels like you're being massaged with when you watch the sequels.
Can't wait for that prequal if this sequel! :D
Nice effect and love the message towards the end. Keep up the work!
Jeremy, I watch every video you release, regardless of what it's about. But while watching your Suburbicon review, I was thinking. "Why do I watch all his videos. I mean, I don't even care about this movie." Well, your intro and subsequent review to this video reminded me why! I love what you have to say, you're always frank and tell it how it is, and of course you have your trademark sense of humor! Thanks for doing what you do!
The original movie is the best
2:34 Ya got me Jeremy....
Saw movies ranked for me...using Jeremy’s scale 😁
Saw: A great time and definitely worth buying on Blu Ray.
Saw 2: Is a good time no alcohol required.
Saw 3: Is a good time no alcohol required.
Jigsaw: Is a good time no alcohol required.
Saw 6: Would be a better time...if you were drunk.
Saw 4: Would be a better time... if you were drunk.
Saw 5: Dog shit.
Saw The Final Chapter: Dog shit.
I find it odd that all this time Jigsaw had a secret apprentice that never appeared in any of the previous films and the first set of traps in the barn were never discovered, despite the location being owned by Jill who authorities would've seen and checked out while investigating her.
If I wanted to see traps I would’ve been to my nearest anime convention.
Sasuke Uchiha lol good one
Sasuke Uchiha why does every anime fan have uchiha in their name... Sasuke isnt even that good of a character hes just edgy as fuck. Gon and killia>sasuke
the 2nd saw movie is actually the best one
2:32 Oh God ! Bro I did exactly this .
I was debating on whether or not to skip to the rating, but thought “eh, it’s a short enough video,” and then the whole “Or did you skip to the rating from beginning... Its not the rating that matters, it’s the review,” and I honestly thought, wow that actually makes sense. As in, I get excited for things with a few good ratings, but then never really focus on the review sometimes, and then when it’s time for me to get personal with the movie or game, it’s got things numbers/ratings can’t really to you. I’ll just say you got me there Jeremy, you got me.
Is it me, or does his Jigsaw voice sound like Adam Jensen???
OMG, i will never be able to play Deus Ex or watch Saw the same way....
Wow, it's mediocre I kinda Jig-Saw it coming...
TheDZone HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*Slow clap* Well...done
This is the earliest I have seen one of your videos. Keep doing a great job 😊😂😊😂
From now on... Intro like this for conceptual movies !! Good review Remy
So about those jump cuts or edits after every sentence (feels like after every word), stylistic choice or he can't maintain a coherent thought for more than a few seconds?
Can't wait to see this. When will your Thor Ragnarok review be out?
Kappa:v good point, but I would have thought he'd be invited to a press screening but if not I guess he'll be there opening night.
Kappa:v Hahahaha I already watched it
Kappa:v yeah agreed, came out Tuesday in the uk, I'm off to watch it tomorrow!!!
I'm in New Zealand and saw Thor earlier today. Holy God (of Thunder) Ragnarok is amazing. Was nervous it was going to be too heavy on the comedy but it hits the powerful moments perfectly when it needs to. And, yes, it's also the funniest movie of 2017 as well.
Edward Kenway
I also seen it. And its not really good as i thought it would be.
Best intro to a JJ video ever!
That shadow thing you did was awesome and great work at 2:30 because some people probs do skip lol I liked how you addressed that!!
cant say I SAW that coming
kiwikyler1 get out
you know what saw 8 should be called? seen
I can't stand the Saw franchise, but I love the first Saw movie.
My favorite Saw movie was the first one because it was new, it had a good mystery, and it didn't feel the need to show much gore (partially because of the low budget)
I love them all. It's one of my favorite franchises . Saw V is the one I've watched the most. Best ending.
Saw 6 is underrated
1:11 Jeremy Jahns would be excellent in CinemaSins
Jeremy jahns, man. You will always be the first person i come to reviews for! Your to funny. 😂
I’ve been following you for a while and I had to say u are definitely my go to for movie critic 👍🏼
Keep doing u, it works 😉🍀
Jeremy should make a second channel dedicated to doing mimicry tutorials. xD
Once again, people missing the point. Saw wasn't all about traps, it's about the mystery and solving it. The traps and gore were the icing on the cake. They aren't the focus.
BlackCriticGuy and this movie was garbage lol
BlackCriticGuy agree. My favorite parts were always the reveals at the end
Mr Luis the reveal was trash too in this one
The "mystery" revolves around a bunch of ludicrous twists for twists sake and lots of dumb character motivations. The movies were heavily marketed around the traps, there's no getting away from it. They sold this shit based on the gore and the imagination of the traps...the fact that they were ludicrous didn't matter. The fact that the plots intertwined and overlapped in ways they realistically shouldn't have done due to Jigsaw's near God-like abilities to predict and know so much about so many people...it makes the "mystery" pointless because the shit that happens doesn't need to make sense, it just needs to be a twist or a reveal. That's not a good mystery, it was all about keeping that money train running, and that was done with the traps and gore. Like it or not they are, and always were, the point. No matter how deep you want to try to pretend it is.
so focus on fucking mystery, not gore. First Saw did. That's why it's only Saw movie I actually like. Rest, just stupid gorefest.
Jeremy back at it again with the spot on impressions
That intro was awesome! XD
I wish you did the entire review in taht voice xD
Would probably be better than half the Saw movies that have come out XD
Danngg i woke up in the middle of the night and i see jeremy jahns post.. damn
KingCrash Damn dog you must be tripping
Coconut Head ikr i woke up at 1am i was like what am i gonna do
i like 3 6 4 r my fav
Jigsaw FULL MOVIE [SAW 8 2017] : bit.ly/2ykBym5
The first movie was so good because it was well written and didnt focus on the gore. It wa incredibly atmospheric and it was also overwhelmingly tense
It's funny - Cause I've never seen a Saw movie before this one, mainly not a fan of the torture porn idea, But I walked away really enjoying this one. The execution was mostly predictable, the characters aren't really likeable, but I was still intrigued with how they were going to pull it off. I'm actually going to go back and watch the older ones, cause my homies tell me they're even better.
WTF I thought this shit ended long time ago
Idrissa Hudayfa Mohamed they're trying to give it a little jolt bring it back to life but it did officially end around 2010 I think even though this is supposed to be a part of it people of the 1st franchise will hate it
It did, for seven whole years.
No my friend. The game has just begun.
Just about to go to bed but saw this lol
This one of my favorite reviews by J, just aide of the black saw figure thing
I never knew i could skip to the end just to read the result! Thanks jeremy!
Saw, VI, V, III, Jigsaw, II, IV, 3D
still waiting for your bioshock infinite spoiler review
Oh man the nostalgia, I remember first watching your Saw 3d review !!!
Great intro!!! Love the jigsaw voice!
SAW
SAW 6
SAW 2
SAW 3
SAW 4
JIGSAW
SAW 5
SAW 7
Charlie Morse totally agree. God I loved Saw 6. I actually really like all of them apart from 7, which I find to be unwatchable.
QKnightZ Nice to see you hear. Tick off Reed by saying “Watch Cars 3!” ten times during the weekend’s ZOMBROS.Please.
saw the thor movie early honestly it was BADASS with capitals and i think it's better than wonder woman and i love wonder women my only flaw about thor is the first 15 minutes was i drag but once it started going it kick up from 0 to 100 and the jigsaw i went night night
Good list, generally agree with you. Mine ranking: 1,6,2,3,4,8,5,7.
QKnightZ I agree the only thing good about saw 7 is the twist ending other than that it was really shit
I can never be fucking first
Can't you just portal to a reality in which you're always first?
OHWAITYOU'REFAKE!!!!
I hope it isn't a life goal
I think because J Jahns uploads early on European time it fucks up anyones chances of being first (At least in the US) because the timing is just so off from when people are normally on youtube
To be fair you have to have a very high iq
Jigsaw FULL MOVIE [SAW 8 2017] : bit.ly/2ykBym5
Best intro you've ever done!
1:07 considering John was there, safe to assume he was speaking live on the TV and had a different game if that didn't happen
although the bike one I'm less sure of since that had a tape with a name
Jeremy go to bed my son
Terrible movie hated every minute of it.
meh, it wasn't that bad
Doctopus because its my job maybe. Random homophobic abuse just because i hate a film real mature by the way.
Neon Nans Reviews I thought it was the 3rd best movie of the saw franchise. 2nd being Saw 2 and 1st Saw 1
Good for you.
Dude that intro was the best thing you've ever done -lol- That shit was genuinely kind of scary
Man, this is the first Jermey video where i wished that i had skipped to the ratting!
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
Omg you are like the biggest Rick and Morty stereotype fan ever... can't tell if you are being serious or are an idiot😂 btw why are you commenting this under a damn jigsaw review... no offense though
"If u want to shine like the sun,first burn like the sun":APJ Abdul Kalam.....out of context???? Exactly!
Dalyl Lachkar I mean it's there but come the hell on nobody really gives a fuck unless you give a fuck then good on you it makes it a bit fun knowing things of that nature but literally I got done with a video about smart people usually being pretentious or coming off as douches and I come to find THIS
Shouldn't have added the tattoo part pal. You ruined it
Dalyl Lachkar he’s speaking the truth. Rick and Morty is for the higher class of society. It takes hours to understand one episode for most people because they just can’t understand the clever humor . Rick and Morty is 10 years ahead of everybody , and it’ll be remembered as the first show to achieve perfection. All thanks to Dan Harmon’s original ideas and high IQ.
Saw: X marks the Spot!
That's what the 10th installment should be called!
FINALLY! BEEN WAITING FOR THE REVIEW
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REVIEW EVER SINCE THIS MOVIE WAS ANNOUNCED YEARS AGO IM LIVING
I swear my favourite thing about Jeremy is that he cares about the movie review and not necessarily the rating. A lot of reviewers are only really interested in putting their stamp of (dis)approval on a film. Good on you Jeremy!
Also, awesometacularites? (did I get that right?) Am I the only one who is unfamiliar with the term? I like it, I just didn't know that's what we were.
Great review man as always!!! I will most likely watch this when I get the chance lol.I kinda wanna see what Jigsaw is up to in this one and how of course he is still alive again lol.I want to see how he made it back from the other side,or how he never died in the first place,lol just saying.
Probably one of your best intros. Honestly
Jeremy, curious as to what're your thoughts on fighter pack 2 for Injustice 2
People skip the review for the rating?
Aww, I'm kinda sad that none of these new movies are that good, lately. Also, props for the Saw editing, dude!
10am OVER HERE IN THE UK. 🙌🏼
that intro was great and review is on point gj m8
Fantastic review as always Jeremy. This film was an interesting experience for me. I realize there were a lot of problems. (The performances were pretty dull, the detective element of the film was by far the most boring part of the movie.) And the traps weren't really all that interesting to me, save for one. The most enjoyable part of the film for me was definitely the twist at the end of the film. I didn't see it coming and it brought a big smile to my face, as someone who has likes the previous Saw films. I also gotta commend the cinematography for looking different and not so grungy as the previous Saw films had. But as before. Great job with the video Jeremy keep pumping out the great content.
That intro was everything!!
I have an idea for a Saw movie. Police or other people discover other Jigsaw traps and have to dismantle, as it turns out Jigsaw just made a whole bunch of traps. But the thing is, these traps are still dangerous, but over time they get faulty and don't work as well. People get caught in them, but they're not in the position the trap was meant for (like someone's arm gets caught in a leg shackle) and they have to get out of them in a way that the trap wasn't meant for. Might be an interesting and different idea.
Woah, throwback to the Saw 3D review back in 2010 with that opening.
My wife and I are huge fans of the Saw series. We get it isn't for everyone, but your review has me quite excited. I was on the fence about Jigsaw because it looked too clean but after hearing a few things and your review, yeah I'm set. Should be a good time with the Mrs.
Who doesn't watch the full review? This is quality content.
The movie started slowly but the ending was fucking good , i hope they keep improving like this , good job
Really clever intro and outro!
Wished Jeremy reviewed films as good as he makes the awesome intros...
That intro was awesometacular!
Jeremy is the only Channel that I do not skip the review
Honestly never thought to skip ahead & see what you rated something until now.
Excellent intro jeremey... And spoiler...
Ending
Keep it up as you obviously have a talent for impersonations.
Did you know that Saw was translated in Brazil as "Deadly Games" Jogos Mortais, you learn something new every day.
This morning, I skipped the video to see what Jeremy rates Jigsaw. But at 2:32, dammit Jeremy, you got me!
Watched the whole vid Jeremy! That silhouette will haunt me for the rest of my life.
Lol this was a great review man- totally on point. Great job boss.🤘🏻
THANK YOU. A critic that didn't hate the other Saw movies gives a real review.
That intro was awesome!!!!!!
I loved the "game" theme to this review; both a funny nod to the franchise and a commentary for people who go directly to the rating of a review instead of reading/listening to/watching the review itself (but, really, who would do that on your reviews). Clever girl.
