Starting point is 00:00:00 Citizens of the Rejagnation. We're watching Saw Final Chapter. It's me and Aaron Alexander. That was good, huh? That was very good. People are like, put her in a musical and pay her loads of money, right? Give her her own show. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:00:22 Okay, guys, so don't forget, as we get into this, leave a like. You got to leave a comment. Don't forget that you have to ring the bag. ring the bell and get over on Patreon because we call you super sexy over there if you know what's right for you. You got anything to say? Duh, feeling good.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Feeling good. Ready for some saw. I learned that this one was originally called Saw 3D, also known as Saw the final chapter. So I'm curious to know if they had like some major 3D elements going on. Obviously we're not going to get to experience that. But yeah, I'm curious to see what they do for this. final chapter because everyone knows this is the last one we're watching he just built us up to bring
Starting point is 00:01:04 it all down he's like 3d and then he's like we don't get to experience it you know and i'm like give it to think it away what was the point of that aaron just to adjimicate you and exhumacate these lovely people here who already knows this thing all right well now we're going to watch it the final chapter We're going back to the first one. Yeah. Okay. We did it.
Starting point is 00:01:38 We did it. We did it. I don't know. I'm curious as you would answer, Kevin Grutertch has done. We saw the saws. We saw the saws, man. Wow. And there were no more movies after this.
Starting point is 00:01:53 You know what's crazy? I'm like, the bodies are still there because location one must have been, what? But now the only location that they still, the cops don't know where it is, even though all these books and all this stuff with all the bodies has been caught hereafter, right? It doesn't make sense. That's location one is still untouched. They haven't figured it out. Well, it's at the one house, but remember it's underneath, like in a tunnel somewhere.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Right, right. But still, I'm like, come on. Right. I mean, if they haven't found, right, the bodies. But okay, all right. Okay. I just, I feel like, I feel, I feel like to put, I think his name, the act where like Carrie L was, is that his name?
Starting point is 00:02:42 I think that the guy at the end, they were like, what, he's the doctor. I think to put him as the guy who put the keys in and sewed up the eyes, I'm like, no, Jigsaw would do that. He built machines to take people's limbs off. Like we didn't need to add a doctor in here who was like, I know how to sob this precisely. It's like, no, I don't think Jigsaw would put, would compromise his position by teaching a guy a lesson and then going, join me and help me kill these people by putting keys in him. Just like how I said and I'm still upset. But from the last one, I thought, why did he train this cop to go through all the killing and train him?
Starting point is 00:03:25 we saw him go through all of them to be like you're going to overcome it if at the end of it that he was just going to like set him up to be killed right by his ex-wife was trying to kill him there's just a lot there's a lot of loopholes I mean the games were gnarly this one I didn't like there's some acting that I thought was just really under par for what was going on here which took me way out of it and I don't and I think that one actor you said he we liked him in the one scene that has a lot to do with direction mostly. It could have been the director being like, you got to go wild here and point around.
Starting point is 00:04:00 I don't know. There was just of overall vibe here that it felt a little more underwhelming. The games are still cool. I like what I saw. That was, it was still so gory and nasty. But, yeah, there's something a little off about it that I go, yeah, not my favorite. Take it away. Take it away.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Oh, man. Okay, I have a lot of thoughts on this one. Yeah, give it. Okay, let's start with the good. Let's start the positive. Yes. I liked, isolated, I liked the games in this one. I thought they were the most gory and most creative we've seen since the third movie.
Starting point is 00:04:37 I like the premise of this guy who was a fake. I think it's the first time we've seen in these movies where somebody has to try to save people they care about. But even though he fails at every attempt and we don't know what happens at the end. I don't think he dies. He's just in there watching his wife. He's just there. He's just there. He's heating up. So, yeah, I'll say that was, I like that. Just on the surface, if you think about it too deeply, it's going to crumble apart.
Starting point is 00:05:05 But, uh, yeah, the, the fact is not a jigs. This is not a jigsaw puzzle. No. This is just, we're open ended. We're open ended. We're just doing it now. How does he have an x-ray machine? That doesn't make sense.
Starting point is 00:05:19 I thought they were going to get to that answer the question when we were like, oh, it's the doctor. of course, like, because I first thought the wife, she's a doctor, would have an accident and I thought, for sure, they'll show. I think maybe they just want us to like just assume because he was the one putting the keys in there that that doctor had one.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Yeah, maybe, I don't know. There's a lot of stuff in this movie that didn't make sense. Yeah. The acting was rough. Some of it was rough. Most of it was good, except for, most of it was serviceable, except for that one cop. I don't know what the hell he was doing. Yeah, man, this movie I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:54 It was fun. Also, it was fun, but it wasn't good. I will say it was, they didn't utilize all the information in which we've learned in a way that's cohesive. And for it to be this culminating, culminating chapter for all six or seven of these movies was a little underwhelming or just a little disappointing in the fact that, you know, I don't, I don't think these movies have been as good since John the original jigsaw was part of it I think those first first three movies that trilogy probably stands the best because once we get four and hoffman's like our new guy just it doesn't hit the same but I like six though I will say outside of those first 20
Starting point is 00:06:39 minutes I know we're kind of slow but I liked I like the majority of six got a twist there we got a twist here but it was sort of like what he didn't really need that guy to do the stuff. And that's what they're trying to do the flip floor of like, the doctor. That's how you get the keys in there. Okay, that's the part that gets me,
Starting point is 00:07:00 right? The fact that this doctor the whole time has been part of it. Hoffman didn't know he was a part of it. Amanda didn't know he was a part of it. The audience didn't know who's a part of it. And that one felt like a twist for a twist's sake because like, oh, we got to do something crazy because all of these movies have major twists. But, yeah, it just didn't track.
Starting point is 00:07:18 And I was like, okay, for Amanda joined. She would have known that that doctor was doing the key stuff the whole time. Right. She was with him always. Yeah. She was rolling him around everywhere he went. Well, we've kind of learned that John kind of like had people isolated, let certain people know what. But also, I don't think the 3D was used very well or maybe because of the fact we're watching it in 2D, but just from what we're seeing, some of it was a little hokey.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Yeah, like the saw going out at the end of the thing. And you know what really killed me is that there was an exposure and lighting change from the room to where he throws it. And then you see it land outside on the ground. The lighting is different. Oh, wow. But I mean, that's okay. It's like the room is fluorescent lighting. Maybe out there's a little dark.
Starting point is 00:08:09 But I was like, I don't know. I don't know. It seemed weird that the lighting was, it was very different. I would have been like, y'all got to match that color a little bit better. So it seems like it's at the same time. Y'all got to fix this up, man. This is, it just, yeah. Plus, we kind of said it during the reaction.
Starting point is 00:08:27 The actual scenes with the cops also looked very TV again. Yeah, very. And, like, this movie came in 2010. And this is a franchise, exactly, and the acting, this is a franchise that's firmly established while the MCU was running. Well, we've had movies like Inception and the Dark Night at this point. And it still looks so cheap.
Starting point is 00:08:46 And I'm like, that's crazy. y'all couldn't put a little bit more love, a little bit more budget into this movie. But I feel like they did do a lot. Like, that's why I was like, they did a ton of budget where I'm like the track and her, her, her, all these flashbacks of like that we didn't need to see in the help group. Like, why did we see that one lady's flashback? She let the husband go.
Starting point is 00:09:06 He gets cut up. I saw us. We see her on the track. She gets cut in half. A full on one where he's like, sure, he's in the cage. Then we have the wood. And then finally at the end, she gets burned alive. and I'm like, this movie to me seems that it had a larger budget,
Starting point is 00:09:21 but it's underperforming for me. And that is the part that it bugs me. Yeah, I didn't utilize it well in all the right places. Who's funding this? Not the movie, but who's funding these projects at this point? Can you come and contact me and Aaron? I am an actor and a producer. Just give me a 116th of the money and let's see what we can do.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Let's see. Let's make magic. I mean, yeah. Anyway, I cut you off, continue. You were saying something else. No, I think, I don't even remember where I was. I think just the fact that Wesley got involved at the end, just kind of was like a Hail Mary.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Like, we got to have some sort of twist for this movie. The guy from the beginning, we got to make it all, all one uniform story, because we've got to tie it back to the beginning chapter. And I think if I remember correctly, like I haven't watched or seen any synopsis or anything, stay away from spoilers but I saw that I think the next movie it's not called saw 8 it's called jigsaw and that one was made in 2017 oh that's a that's a that's seven years later yeah each one of these we've watched has been like back to back exactly yeah yeah from 2004 through 2010 because after this one they were like maybe all need to take a break right because this is
Starting point is 00:10:39 not we're reaching too far we're trying to come up with these bait and switches and reveals at the end which this to me was you guys could, I feel like in the room when the writers pitched this or it could be the writers had a decent script and the up aboves were like, no, you got to bring somebody back. You know what I mean? Like, oh, that guy from the first one, that'd be a big reveal. Oh, that'd be crazy. Guys, come on.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Come on. We got to do better. It's a big reach. Yeah. I will say, I think this would have been. fun to see in the theaters, but I don't think it would have been good. I think the first two movies are legitimately good movies.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Everything after that has kind of been just like, okay, this is the next chapter. Everything after that felt incomplete. And I feel like the beginning of that incomplete storytelling with the cliffhangers started into. But I think two had a good enough story in of itself to be sustainable as a satisfying experience. But everything else has been like,
Starting point is 00:11:45 okay, we just got to keep this going to get to the next piece of it. And now we've finally gotten to what's supposed to be the final chapter. And it's just like it's gotten away from itself. You know, it's, it, we've lost the purpose of what the original intention was behind these movies. Yeah. Even though it's still doing the trap thing, it's not, it's doing it for the sake of doing it, not for the sake of what was originally intended. It's kind of, I don't even know if ironic's the right word, but the fact that. Maybe he was killed because his games got perverted, you know?
Starting point is 00:12:19 Oh, right. And as the games got perverted, the movies got more perverted with its intention and, like, how, because it started off as like this thriller and like this mystery of like, what's going on? And then it kind of just got more into like, we got to make, we got to up the ante. We got to like raise the sticks. We got to make the traps crazier. And like, granted, maybe that's something you want to see as you watch these movies, but I feel like you got to have a strong story encompassing that or like accompanying that.
Starting point is 00:12:44 as you go along and it just didn't man but like I said I had fun with it I don't think it was good I think it's definitely better than what was the boring one we watched was that five yeah it's around those numbers the one where it was like cop versus cop where the other cop got killed I think it was five okay I would say if we because obviously they probably intended this to be the end of them before they started to continue with jigsaw and spiral and now saw x right i was thinking as we're watching it i was like okay if i had to rank them just based off of the original intention for how they saw the series going i'd probably put saw two first saw one second saw six saw three saw four six then five well you said six
Starting point is 00:13:42 Six and the third time. I think you met four five. I'm at seven. He's just saying. I'm saying, I'm saying everything. And nobody's going to keep track. They haven't watched it one, two, three, four, five.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Well, maybe they have. They've been watching it. I've been watching them. I've been reading the comments. They've been watching it. Yeah. Oh, good. People have, we have some steady followers.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Look at that. So he meant four, five. He meant four, five, seven. Two, yeah, two, one, three. Oh, yeah, two, one, six, six, three. four or five seven right four seven five four seven five okay it's numbers you got um listen i agree with him it just it's really the thing i mean um that's the pass code to get in um no but the storytelling i think it's really just the in the beginning especially with one is just it's teaching these
Starting point is 00:14:36 people a lesson but staying with them long enough to where we actually care and the last few movies we stay not long enough with anyone for us to care enough whether we lose them or they die. It's just sort of like, yeah, they did a bad thing. We know it's coming for you because we understand the game and the process, but we haven't sat in it or any of the games, which we did with one and two, which made it really satisfying. We got to know these people at the core of who they are. We got to see them interact with each other and then figure it out.
Starting point is 00:15:08 And lately with three, I think three and through, they just send one. one person and they're going through a bunch of games. Yeah. And I, for me, I'm like, I get it that audiences want to see bigger and badder and maybe more gore. But I find it that like, are we really sitting in an audience and testing that? That's, that is the more entertaining story of it. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:15:29 I do like seeing the, the traps are different. We have to switch it up. I totally get it. But I think it would be really fun also to go back to like a lower budget feel where it's like you got to deal with. the people and and maybe make sure the traps there's got to be something different i understand that but maybe it doesn't need to be so extreme to get our attention because i really like sitting with the people in their story and then seeing the rest of it versus um seeing a bunch of
Starting point is 00:16:00 plot lines like the racist people that was a cool kill yeah get it but like wouldn't it would have been so satisfying if we had had to sit in their story for a minute and see like like how he got them in that position to then kill him, it would have been so exciting to be like, you guys are going to attack. Yeah. It still was, but we didn't,
Starting point is 00:16:20 we just, there just hasn't been enough juice to lead us up to a lot of these kills within the last few films. It's still a lot of fun. It's fun to watch. Great Gore. I love that the public one in the very beginning, the girl with the two guys is cool.
Starting point is 00:16:33 All the stuff looks, it looks awesome. I just, I'm not as engaged story-wise. And you guys know like acting, that that made me a little upset i was like what's this guy doing to that will always take me out of it just as an actor and then secondly story and plot line like do i do i believe them and do i like feel for them and then this one i didn't really so i'm gonna just rate it for you i know we've been
Starting point is 00:16:58 chatting for a minute over here still still fun like i'm excited to watch the others there's just i mean i'll always try to be honest with you all of like yeah not great so i'll put this one i You know, I'm going to go, because it's still fun, like the kills, the traps are cool. I'm just, I'm going to go with a six. But there's the stuff that I mentioned, and it may not be an actor thing, could be a direction thing. I don't know, brings it down to a six for me for this one. Yeah, that's funny. It's actually what I was thinking.
Starting point is 00:17:30 I was thinking about a six, too. Yeah. I think we rated five a six. So I think they're like neck and neck as far as ratings go as far as like the lower tier. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Not my favorite.
Starting point is 00:17:41 I can say I have fun with the experience, but it's like one of those things, it got to the point where it was like so bad it's a good kind of thing or so bad it's fun. So yeah, I would say that it's like almost a parody of itself at this point. But, you know, I can say for that experience alone, I would give it a six.
Starting point is 00:17:59 Yeah, I like that. So that's what we're doing. But we're going to watch 7, 8, 9, and the 10. Wait, this is 7, right? 7, 8, 9, and 10. Guys, I'm. You know what? I should leave because, you know, I'm tired and I thought we were watching.
Starting point is 00:18:14 No, I'm kidding. Okay, I knew what this one was. We got three more after this. We love you guys. Don't forget to leave a like. Leave a comment. Ring the bell. Tells how cool we are and other stuff.
Starting point is 00:18:25 I don't know. Leave whatever you like. We love you. Thank you for being here. You got any last words, Aaron? Da-gababobo. Boop. Dibu-a-da-a.
