Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Cortechba Overrated

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

qmtv OK, I bought the DVD with the first 7 Saw movies. The first was decent when I saw it years ago, watching it last year, no more surprises so I thought it was just OK, a C rating for a B movie. #2 sucked full on. Crappy lighting, cinematography, editing, acting, dialogue, convoluted story. Just plain garbage.Now, #3. The best part about this movie was the chained guy, and the chained female cop. Straight up copy from Hellraiser! And I enjoyed Donnie smashing his foot, next time they should try Donnie smashing his face! Besides these scenes this movie is garbage.The cinematography was not as bad as #2. But still amateur, point and shoot. The editing is quick and garbage. The lighting is crap. The acting is horrible. The characters are garbage. Nobody acts like this. Tobin Bell seems like a decent actor, but I hate his voice, and his character and dialogue is garbage. Shawnee Smith's character is garbage. If she's crazy, then make her character crazy. But then, how the hell could they pull off all the kidnappings, and all the equipment and set up? It is impossible. It can't happen. And that is where most of the problem is. How the hell did she get into the female cops apartment without the cop noticing. Think about it! Where were these abandoned locations? The only way you can have access to locations like this is if you have a film studio paying to rent them and shooting the film, but not if you're a wackjob on a mission to teach some people with emotional problems a lesson on how to appreciate life. The female doctors acting was OK, not great. And the husband who lost his boy, this guy was plain horrible. The frozen woman was OK, but then we get a scene of her completely frozen, very stiff! The judge, OK. The black guy, well he acted terrified.The story and the twists. Now, I'm sure someone can come up with something better than this.Last two weeks I watched the first 8 Hellraiser movies. First 2 were decent because of the stories. The rest were below par mix bag of I don't know what. But at least all of them were better than Saw 2 or 3. The older I get, the more I want stories. Compelling stories, with characters that relate, and actors that can portray plausible situations, within the context of the film. Saw 3, and Saw 2 do not do that. These stories only happen because the screenwriter wrote them and the production team went ahead and filmed and produced the product for our supposed entertainment. I cannot believe that some said hey, how the hell did some sick guy and a drugged out/wacko chick pull off all these sets and traps, and kidnap all these people. Lots of equipment all around. Is Jig independently wealth? So, some points for the chain kills near the beginning of the film, minus stealing scenes from Hellraiser. This film is a complete failure. F, 1 star, garbage.

blumdeluxe "Saw III" brings back the Jigsaw killer, this time so weak that he has to kidnap a doctor to keep him alive while his obsessed assistant prepares a final game with a man who lost everything when his son got killed during a car accident and seeks revenge for it.Unfortunately, this part is not nearly as good as the first two have been. It is still a solid movie, don't get me wrong, but it feels a bit like the producers are desperately trying to bring in elements of surprise which doesn't work out as well as it did before. Instead, there are several backflashs that make it sometimes hard to keep up with the story and the stringency that was a center-piece of the first two parts, goes missing at least partly. What you get is still a dark and sinister thriller that keeps you entertained but it sometimes tries to hard to be a Saw movie.All in all you do nothing wrong by giving this a try but you should know that you can't expect something as carefully balanced as the other parts of the series.

Rickting Saw and Saw II are both good horror films because they were focused on twists and thought-provoking themes related to justice and morals. Unfortunately, this has one thing and one thing only on its mind: to spill as much blood as possible. The film bounces between needless, expositional flashbacks and gore-soaked, uncomfortably nasty torture set-pieces throughout a runtime of 2 hours, which is far too long. In this one, a doctor being held hostage is forced to keep Jigsaw alive while he and his apprentice, Amanda, put an unfortunate man through an incredibly brutal test. Saw III, in fairness, is powerful at times and features surprisingly good performances from those involved. However, it's just too disgusting to satisfy. There's an entire sequence giving close-up detail of Jigsaw having head surgery. Why did we need to see that extremely gruesome sequence? Why? It's just the filmmakers exposing themselves as the immature bloodhounds that they are. This one isn't even particularly scary and is more disturbing than anything else. What's worse, once you get to the end and endure a relentless bummer of an ending which kills off the franchise's 2 best characters and makes all the gruesome bloodshed you've just endured futile, you realize there wasn't even a point.4/10

bluegattaca This movie has some flashbacks and explains how the 1st movie was setup. Amanda brings in female doctor (Lynn) to help Jigsaw stay alive until the next guy (Jeff) gets through his game. A device is put on her to make her comply and is linked to Jigsaws heart monitor. The main character Jeff is trapped in jigsaws game encounters people that let his son die. The witness that ran, judge, and the killer himself. He tries to free 1st one but she froze, judge he saves but has to burn his sons things to get the key. Jeff taking his time through the ordeal even though he has limited time. This movie is more gruesome than the other two and is the last of what I consider the classic saw trilogy. Jigsaw dies at the end of the movie and you can pretty much not watch any of the others after this one. Ending was bitter sweet. Amanda betrays jigsaw and she doesn't want them to live and refuses to take off the devise and Jeff comes in and shoots her. It is revealed that unknown to Amanda (and the viewers) that Jeff and Lynn are husband and wife and that the man Lynn was with at the beginning of the movie was just some guy she was cheating on him with when the viewers assume it's her husband. Everyone dies at the end and jigsaw reveals in a tape that Jeff's little girl is trapped.
