Which proved to be the finest in the history of the series, finally giving us an ending that lives up to, and yes, even surpasses, the first film's resolution.

But for me its hard to really find too many things wrong with any of what the writers and director have put out. For one Tobin Bell is awesome in the role as Jig Saw. Could you possibly envision anyone but this man embodying the Jig Saw character? And secondly, the use of the doll, although not entirely new in horror movies, it works very well here. The decision to incorporate the voice of Jig Saw (in voice over) synced with the movement of its mouth on a somewhat grainy home video in my opinion is one of many elements you see in the series that set it apart from many other horror movie franchises. When all said and done, Saw will go down in history as the most successful horror movie franchise ever, unless of course it has already obtained that status.
