Saw (2017)

The long-awaited next chapter in the legendary
Saw
franchise is finally hitting theaters on October 27th this year. I'm honestly buzzing just thinking about it... my expectations are through the roof and I seriously can't wait for the premiere.

Since my interest hit rock bottom back during the third installment, I really don't have any massive expectations for whatever this next sequel turns out to be.

I’ve gotta say, I really think this one is going to be incredible. They’ve been working on this project for years now, so there's no way they just blow it at the finish line... Plus, you can't forget we have Tobin Bell on board. That alone makes it worth it. 👍

They’re really pushing him—not that I expect much, given how played out this concept is...

The Muse stays timeless for that very reason; there's a certain power to it.

Mjuza is great, that first one really sticks with you.

I can barely remember the others.

But this looks like an Asian remake. Might be alright.

I mean, I'm honestly not sure how much a new setup can really shake things up. But hey, I've got a feeling this one could actually beat the last few entries... you know, everything they've put out since 😬

Sadly, I'm right there with you... I'd sign off on that any day.

It’ll be hitting theaters here in the States pretty soon. I am seriously hyped to finally sit down and watch this one... my expectations are through the roof right now. 🎉

Caught this at the local theater yesterday.

The flick definitely hit the mark for me. I went in looking for a solid, entertaining psycho-thriller, and honestly, that’s exactly what I got. It isn't some absolute masterpiece, and it’s certainly not the peak of the franchise, but it was a fun ride... pretty engaging overall.

I was a bit thrown off at first when I saw Jonathan still breathing. I was just sitting there like, "Wait, what?" It didn't click until the end when they mentioned the game happened ten years ago. Then it finally hit me—it's basically a prequel and a sequel rolled into one. A new successor to Jigsaw's legacy. To be honest though, I'm not totally sold on it. Jigsaw always felt like he had a sense of justice; he actually gave people a choice. But Logan? He didn't give that old man a second chance at all. Feels like we're just looking at Hoffman 2.0... makes me wonder about Gordon, too. Are he and Logan working together behind the scenes this whole time?

END SPOILER>

Really hoping they keep this going with a ninth one. I'm not ready for this series to wrap up just yet...

Has anyone actually attempted a "Saw" marathon? Like, is that even physically possible? 😁

Man, I knocked out all the sequels pretty much as they came out over a couple of days... but now I’m thinking about doing a total binge of all eight movies in a single day. Honestly, what's the worst that could happen? It's only like 16 hours of screen time... 😁

I watched the first one last year. I’ve got the second and third sitting on my hard drive, but I just haven't gotten around to them yet.

Just finished watching it.
I guess we might be looking at a ninth one soon, though it’s kind of a bummer that the copycat just walked away after everything that happened.

6/10

The first part was actually pretty solid, but man, those sequels? Total garbage.
