Saw 3D Reviews
Georgia Straight
Saw 3D is the seventh Saw I've seen, and maybe the sickest-which is exactly what I said about Saw VI.

The 3D effects don't help at all in this bland and easily-forgettable entry in the long-running series.

ScreenRant
Another thin Saw franchise installment. Fans of the series will find plenty of the same horrors to enjoy but the film furthers the series' decline into mediocrity.

If only the people behind this series would watch some of the older horror films to discover what makes them good. Although, after six clones of the same film, it seems unlikely that they'll ever be able to figure it out.

The National
Unlikely to satisfy anyone but its most loyal fans, this brings the series to a stumbling close.

Cinema Sight
It wasn't the finale I had wanted, relying mostly on unimpressive revisions on previous films attempting to create a series-spanning plot against one man.

Clearly the Producers have no more ideas for this franchise. It's a good thing they are ending the way they wanted to. To bad its not an ending fans will enjoy or deserve.

The novelty has worn off and familiarity has kicked in as the creators show no signs of deviating from a well-worn formula. Now it's the Police Academy of its style.

What Culture
The epic, game-changing twist of an ending which brings the series effectively full circle, is so ridiculously, even laughably over-the-top and off-the-rails that it feels more akin to the quirky, self-aware tone set by the last film.

The Saw franchise ends with a blood-soaked whimper.

The Age (Australia)
Fast-paced and straight-faced, and full of "ewwww!' moments that play up to the film's effectively cheesy use of 3D.

Saw 3D may just be the Saw-iest Saw film of them all.

Well, I think I've finally seen the final "Saw," this time in 3D.

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
More proof that the MPAA's ratings system is useless: If the level of gory violence in these Chuck Jones-meets-Herschell Gordon Lewis set-pieces doesn't demand an NC-17 designation, what does?

The filmmakers continue to regurgitate the same pile of puke each and every year for us to lap up. Sure, those chewed chunks of bile-soaked carrot are now in "eye-popping" 3D, but that certainly doesn't make them taste any better.

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
It's kind of amusing in the sheer silliness of its splattery shenanigans. I don't think that was intended, but I'll take whatever value I can get out of the thing.

Total Film
The 3D is barely-there, the clanging machine-rock soundtrack is merciless, and the traps are decidedly ho-hum. Even running its final lap, Saw still oozes mediocrity.

If this is actually the last gasp for Saw, it goes out on the same note it's played for years -- screaming bloody murder.
