Would rate it higher but... (spoilers)


Way too predictable. Like obviously the gun isn't loaded (well he took the gunpowder out of the bullets but same thing), and you know both John and Amanda live anyway because it's a prequel. Could have had both of them taking more of a beating before the final game.

I'd say it's still better than the last few instalments but it's time for this series to be put to rest. Similar to the Halloween series, it's beating a dead horse at this point.

Alternatively, you do a Freddy vs Jason thing, like Jigsaw vs Michael (Myers) and make it part of the canon. At least do something ridiculous with the series and it won't be so predictable.

i think the run time was a little bloated at 2 hours. I also thought the ending with the 3 walking out the door into the sunlight with a fade to white and Saw X was a bit out of touch with the series.

We are expected to believe that Kramer is this loveable character but then in Saw 2 hes extremely cynical and captures a kid about the age as the girl in X and puts him in a game with poisonous gas, only because hes associated with Matthews? The girl was only associated with the lead villain in X and shes spared? IDK - I didnt care for it and would happily put it near the back of a rankings list for the series.

The walking out to white reminded me of the first Cube

I didn't like the third act with Parker's arrival. I thought that he was in on it, I mean even the cabbie was in on it. There's no way they let two marks in the same room to compare notes.
