Review of Saw III (2006) by Darkmage — 30 Oct 2006
Saw III is annoying in two main ways -- these may or may not bother you, so take this with a grain of salt. Firstly, the storyline does not become apparent until exactly one full hour has passed. I was hoping for some originality here, and it didn't deliver.
The entire first hour of the movie was a long, drawn out mess that basically rehashed the Saw I and II formula. Secondly, the ENTIRE MOVIE is on steroids, shot as if it is a music video. Cameras are zipping here, zipping there, flashing back, etc.
On TV, this may not be an issue. But on the damn big screens, where their horrible resolution for motion shots (you MUST know what I mean -- everything blurs!), you may find yourself annoyed as hell. The violence and gore was good, but come on! Hasn't every horror movie lately been a blood-soaked mess? The MPAA has been asleep, and when a bunch of underage kids are whipping popcorn around and yelling, you know the rating system doesn't work anymore.
