Review of Saw III (2006) by Brianh. — 04 Apr 2007

I think it was a good movie. It wasn't better than the first (mainly because the first ending was so original and unexpected). It was definitely better than the second though. The bad part about it is that the Jigsaw killer kept giving away the ending of the movie, and it was made very apparent who was actually benig "tested" due to all of the emotions that character was portraying (she was the worst actor in the movie to me as well).

Visually, it was definitely a cut above the rest, I am an avid horror film spectator and never, I mean NEVER feel like anything is too graphic to endure. This movie definitely made me cringe, especially in the opening sequence.

For those who say there was no story line, what movie were you watching? There is definitely a story line, which is fairly decent (not great or spectacular), at least until the very end. Anyone who thought differently is being waaaayy too critical, because the plot was actually well drawn out.

The very final test was the most ridiculous lead-in to the sequel they have ever come up with, and will result in disaster if they try to formulate it into a Saw 4. But the rest of the movie was enjoyable and interesting at least.

Don't watch this movie expecting it to be a true horror movie, because it is actually more of a Drama. And if you go into it expecting it to be better than the first, you will definitely be dissapointed.

If you rent or buy the movie and watch it with a fresh prospective (and an open mind), you may actually enjoy it.
