Saw 3

i decided, just as it was getting dark, that i was going to watch saw 3, and with much anticipation (after the first two), i did just that. the movie opens up, alike the first - reintroducing the bathroom, so i wasn't feeling too bad.

the movie's a tad confusing, and i spent more or less, the whole time trying to keep the vomit down in my stomach, so that didn't leave me with too much mentality to make sense of the whole reminiscent, nostalgic, deja-vu way the storyline was written.

the whole, disgusting gory, blood thing just isn't my style of horror. thumbs up for the excellent twists though! definitely, not for those with a faint heart, or a weak stomach. maybe my anticipation of the first two, brought my hopes up a bit too high, but it really wasn't as fantastic as i expected.

go and watch it though, only if you've seen the first two.

Surprise! There is a horror series that holds up well, even on the second sequel.

It's difficult to explain the plot in any detail without ruining the storyline, so instead, I give you small chunks. A doctor must keep Jigsaw alive. If he dies, so does she. A grieving father must decided what he will do when confronted with the people that changed his life for the worse. Saying anything else about the story line is just criminal.

Like the 2 movies before it, difficult decisions and some nasty secrets become a part of a much larger plan. It manages to explain events in Saw 1 and 2 that may have been considered plot holes. It spins the whole concept of the Jigsaw character and what he represents, and the message he is trying to say. By carefully placing events from the past in a certain order, and by introducing important sequences of the character's lives, Saw 3 manages to become a pivotal point to the series. It's not perfect, though. Constant flashbacks to memories becomes a bit tiresome. Some of the dialog could be a combination of dry, repetitive, or dumb, or all of the above. And oh yes, there will be the improbable & illogical. Big critics will focus on this, and consider the movie a waste of time.

Of course, you can toss out the psychological-babble, tell the critics to go back to their coke snorting, and just have fun watching the movie as pure horror. Of the three, this is ultimately the most bloodiest. Those of low tolerance of gore, medical procedures and general dismemberment beware: the movie theater I went to here in Winter Springs had one movie-goer faint and fall to the floor. They had to temporarily stop the movie and take her outside, an ambulance came, and took her away. Even with this interruption, the movie kept everyone awake, wanting to see more. By the end of the movie, the audience clapped. We liked what we had seen. "What has the world come to?", you say? Geez. You are in the wrong place. I'm sure there will be some Disney movie to your liking.

The traps were clever, original, and far, far deadlier this time around. To me, it beats out any psycho with a knife/ax/chainsaw crap movie that has been pumped out too many times. It's a shame that Saw producer Gregg Hoffman passed away before this movie was produced.

Saw should have stopped after I and 2. By episode 3 my interest dwindled. The torture scenes were pretty much being recycled as they tried to come up with more imaginative ways to make the victims suffer. Sadistic in a way!

We went to the cinema yesterday to see this flick. I can't really say I had any expectations, I mean, it's a third part in a series and such are rarely keeping the same quality as their predecessors. After seeing it, I have to admit that this flick is definitely keeping the same touch of quality work as the first two parts. I'd say it's better than the second piece, and if it's not better than the first piece, then they're at least even.

I found the third part to have a bit more gore in it, compared to the other pieces in the series. Some scenes are really disturbing and even I, who claim myself to be quite difficult to disturb through film as a medium, at times felt really... well, it was almost a bit too much. It's far from snuff, please, don't get me wrong here, since the utter disturbance is very beautiful in a way and very artistic, I'd say.

For the plot, I can't pull off any complaints. Anyone familiar with the first two pieces and the plot of theirs, will recognize the atmosphere and the touch of the flick here. The acting is neat, no complaints there either. All-in-all, this is a well-made flick and among the best deliveries from Hollywood I've been confronted with in quite a while. I recommend it. 7/10.

Loved the first Cult Classic & loved the Donnie Wahlberg sequel & now I've enjoyed this savage part 3.

Saw 3 is incredibly clever & completely connects everything from part 1 & 2 & brings it into this brutal revenge story about a depressed grieving man who lost his little boy to a dangerous driver who got a tiny little sentence by a corrupted judge because of a cowardly witness refused to step forward & the slowly dying John Kramer uses this horrible situation to set up a new game & invite everyone he dislikes to play.

Saw 3 is really a vigilante vengeance film but in the confines of one of Jigsaws booby trapped torture buildings.

The cast is Awesome with Shawnee Smith (who gives an incredible troubled performance) & Donnie Wahlberg (back as the injured but brutal cop) & Tobin Bell (back as the sinister & smart genius Jigsaw) & Dina Meyer (back as the beautiful & troubled cop) & Angus Macfadyen (excellent performance as the grieving father) & Baha Soomekh (as the captured doctor) & all such solid performances that hold all the Horror & gritty situations together.

The look/Cinematography is grainy & raw & looks like its shot on film & the music is exciting & thrilling.

Excellently written with everything connecting & all loose ends tied up. Basically a real shocker & a thrilling sequel.

Yes this super savage sequel has really a true anger at it's core with how useless & unfair & corrupted the Justice system really is & the rage people feel & the vengeance they crave.

There's plenty of twists & turns & extremely gory scenes, so much so that i had to look at Away often lol, more extreme than the first two film.

Here sick John Kramer/Jigsaw captures a doctor who has a damaged life behind her work & Kramer wants her to fix him the best she can without going to hospital & the game is a deadly affair that puts a vengeful father through a maze of torture as he comes accross each person who let his son's killer get away with murder.

A very serious issue at it's heart & a graphic horrific tale of violence with excellent performances throughout.

Another great sequel in this savage franchise.
