The Worst Saw Movie Has An Embarrassingly Low Score On Rotten Tomatoes

According to Rotten Tomatoes, the worst “Saw” movie is “Saw: The Final Chapter,” which is also known as “Saw 3D” (the film arrived during the big 3D revival spurred on by “Avatar”). Of course, while this movie was marketed as “The Final Chapter” in 2010, the series would revive itself in 2017 with “Jigsaw.” You just can’t keep this franchise down. While “Saw 3D/The Final Chapter” was a box office hit, critics were not kind to the movie, making it the lowest-rated “Saw” film (it sits at a woeful 9% on Rotten Tomatoes). 

In this entry, a self-help guru who claims he survived Jigsaw’s traps finds himself targeted by Hoffman, a rogue cop who is Jigsaw’s apprentice. Also on board: Cary Elwes, returning as Dr. Gordon, the character he played in the first film. Gordon’s fate was left up in the air in the original “Saw,” but “3D/The Final Chapter” shows us what happened to him and where he is now. But none of this was enough to win over critics. The Rotten Tomatoes consensus: “Sloppily filmed, poorly acted, and illogically plotted, Saw 3D leaves viewers trapped in the most lackluster installment of the series.” Ouch.
