Movie Reviews of Saw VI [Blu-ray]Movie Review: Best SAW yet. Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, so by now if you're reading a review on SAW 6 you have to like the franchise. If not you seriously need to get a life because either you're just one of the people who hate these films but have never seen them, or your just bored and reading random movie reviews. If you are a fan of at least some of the films this is the best one yet...no joke. When I saw this I was thinking, ok, it'll hopefully be a little bit better than 5 but I wasn't going to ask for much. Even Back to the Future and Godfather went down the tubes during their 3rd sequel, try to wrap ur head around a Back to the Future pt. 6! Ya. Aside from the overly nausiating first trap (I'm desensitized from the other films but this "pound of flesh" trap got to me), the movie excells in every way from the other films. It had a real plot, motivated characters and..gasp!...good acting. IF YOU ARE A FAN...you need to watch SAW 6, it's that good.
Now...I was once a hater...I thought before I saw the first movie that anyone who liked it must be a freak. I thought that Harry Potter fans were all idiots for liking some dumb wizard flick. I also thought that Twilight fans were just as insane....It's very very easy to refuse to see a movie and still talk about it with distain. So I watched them, as a hater should force themselves to do before they make idiotic comments. Now, after watching every SAW i find myself thinking that it's probably the smartest horror franchise in history. Clues, comments, and commentary all have the fan guessing what will happen next. It's not a slasher film and by the 6th movie I actually feel sorry and root for the guy that we all hated in SAW and SAW 2. I also went from loathing Harry Potter to actually finding the films entertaining and now own all of them. I'm never going to read the books cuz they're wayyyy too long and I have no intention on delving deaper into the psyche of the wizards of Hogwarts that the movies dont touch on, but they are just fun to watch. Now as for Twilight...well...it sucks...its a buncha blank starring and "oh he loves me, he loves me not"...the action is a cheap wireworks display and im really glad there wont be 8 of these films....but I still saw them, so its my actual opinion, not me going on a banter. If you hate these movies for either A)the gore, B)the acting in a few movies, C) horror isnt your thing, than this wont change your mind. But if you hate saw just to hate it you have no business commenting on these types of websites where people are looking for honest answers to whether or not they should buy the movie. Giving this film 1 star and saying "How much more do I have to take of this!!!!", is not helpful to anyone...you could have stopped after SAW 2 if you didnt like it, so really the idiot isnt the person who wants to purchase the film, its you for making urself watch something you dont like.
In summary, don't listen to the people who gave this movie 1 or 2 stars. This movie easily beats 5, 4, and 3 and is far more fast-paced and entertaining than 1 and 2. If you like SAW and you waited till dvd to watch this cuz you werent sure if u'd be wasting 10 bucks in theaters I promise you wont be wasting 15-20 bucks buying this, or waiting till Blockbuster/Hollywood Video, or any other store has this pre-viewed for $7.50.
Summary of Saw VI [Blu-ray]Special Agent Strahm is dead, and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw?s legacy. However, when the FBI draws closer to Hoffman, he is forced to set a game into motion, and Jigsaw?s grand scheme is finally understood. The Saw series gains a commendable hint of social conscience with this sixth entry in the gleefully gruesome franchise. That's not to say that the creators have abandoned the films' main focus--dealing out hideous punishments for wrongdoers, courtesy its antihero, John Kramer/Jigsaw (Tobin Bell), who remains very dead as of this film--but screenwriters Marcus Dunston and Patrick Melton (who have penned every Saw pic since IV) deserve a note of recognition for pointing Jigsaw's moral fury at the insurance industry, which is personified by key victim Peter Outerbridge's oily exec. His decision to deny Kramer an experimental cancer treatment (all told in flashback) lands him and a handful of additional lost souls (all connected, of course) in yet another Rube Goldbergian chamber of horrors overseen by Jigsaw's acolyte, Detective Hoffman (Costas Mandylor). The improbability of the infernal machines continues to reach hysterical levels here, though the payoffs remain exceptionally gross, especially in the opener, which plays on the Shakespearean "pound of flesh" riff with spectacularly nauseating results. Aside from the insurance angle, there's little to differentiate Saw VI from its predecessors, and precious less to convince the nonfaithful that the series isn't spinning its wheels by this point--and based on the film's tepid opening-weekend box office, audiences may agree--but for Saw die-hards, there's much bloody business on hand here, and best of all, the promise of another sequel. --Paul Gaita
