Saw 3D (Saw VII)

status: 2010; in theaters
rating: * * * (an extra star for the ending) (3 out of 5 stars)

Ok, ok. I know its Saw 7 and I know its absurd, but I went this far and had to finish it. I have to admit it was better than 5 and 6 in my opinion. I spent most of the film laughing because of ridiculousness of the acting, traps, situations and level of gore. Spikes through the face, spinning saw blades, fishhooks, plyers; all pieces in the final set of traps. The return of Mr. Carey Elwes was one redeeming thing in this "final" chapter. I won't say how the ending unfolded, but it was kinda cool how they tied it all up.

Now, if only Hollywood would just stop and leave this franchise alone I'll be happy.

P.S. 3D was completely unnecessary.
