Kyle Swanson Saw III, here we go, this is in my opinion the last good film in the Saw Franchise, and to me is my second favorite in the series.Basically John Kramer, the original Jigsaw Killer, is about to meet his fate from his Brain Tumor's issue, and Amanda Young, his only assistant must search for help to cured his severe problem, so she kidnaps an Doctor who was originally an assistant of Kramer's ex-doctor, to figured-out an way to end it. Meanwhile, an new victim, who lost his son from an DUI Incident a few years prior, and ever since then felt vengeful towards his killer, must plays Jigsaw's game to shows him that Forgiveness exists, by coming upon a few more Victims in traps who are in any way connected to his Son's death, and it his choice of letting them live or Die because of what they do with his personal incident.The characters in this movie, I got to admit is a-bit better than some of the ones in Saw II. John Kramer and Amanda Young are still interesting to watch, the Doctor is a-bit forgettable however, but her relationship with Amanda was kinda nice to see. The Vengeful Father, was in my opinion, a very interesting character, just having someone who is really vengeful about someone who he seems to loves a-lot is great to see and his search for he thinking will be his Son's killer during the game Jigsaw have him participate in was enjoyable like a snack. The traps in this movie are again good, and once again I have a favorite, this time is The Rack, which was pretty intense of a scene, probably remained my second favorite trap in the whole series along-side the Amanda Young's trap from the first one. Now I have said positive things about this film, that does not means there aren't any negative things to say, there is unfortunately. Firstly is the Kristy's trap (Kristy by-a-way is a character from the previous film who is a former partner of the Juvie's father of an Corrupt Detective) which is shown to be unnecessary in this film as they never mentioned it the rest of the film, and they only continued it's story in the following one, it just seems like they just wants to show us a trap already but this is the third Installment and according to the first two films, we already know there going to be traps like that, so what the point? Secondly, this is what a-lot of people would kinda agree which is the ending, now a-lot people complains by saying it was all an mistake, but honestly it not really like that which I have an problem with, it just the craze it shows to people who watches that then make them confused about how there will be sequels in which this started the downhill of the series with the follow-up "Saw IV". Personally, I thought this would've been an good way to end the series because there obviously no other way to continued, but then they decide to do that anyways by releasing the ever god-awful fourth film.Now I would recommend this if you only see the first Saw movie, if you didn't see Saw II, it really doesn't matters, because the whole twist they pull off with Amanda turning out she was an Assistant not an victim this time was pretty much almost spoiled by it's trailer. This movie, along with the first Saw film, are like the only ones I would probably sit around and watch again, I absolutely loves this one.

Smoreni Zmaj I loved first movie. I am aware that sequels are often worse than original, but I expected them to stick to formula that worked so well in first movie, so even if sequels have no quality they would at least be fun. I saw second Saw that pretty much keep up with first one and I could not wait to see more. I never expected such unpleasant surprise. I knew this franchise will in time most probably lose some of its awesomeness, but such drastic drop in quality between two contiguous movies really surprised me. Saw III is not so bad by itself, but in comparison with first two this is complete catastrophe. First, it is boring. Few scenes twist stomach pretty successfully, but to achieve that effect one does not need much skill. Tension, suspension and fear are nowhere to be found. Second, this movie insults my intelligence. Unlike in prequels, story is completely linear, boring and predictable. And in addition to that it's full of holes and illogicality. Characters and their actions are unconvincing, especially Jeff. He lost so much time in every room for no obvious reason. If himself was threatened in any way I could understand his hesitation, but he was not. I have no nerves to get into the details, cause it would take to long. Further, flashbacks are lousy and have no purpose in story. For those who saw previous two films they just make this one more boring and unnecessarily stretch it to almost two hours. Last and the biggest disappointment was the end. Regardless of your taste and opinion about first two Saw movies, one thing you have to acknowledge and it's genius mindfak twist that ends them both. Here, they could not make effort even to achieve that. Ending is totally predictable. I knew how it will end, but I hoped that movie made me think that on purpose so they could make even bigger surprise when it ends differently, but that did not happen. It ended just as I suspected and I felt deprived. Movie ends in manner of low-budget gore horrors. In those it's not a flaw cause they do not pretend to be more than they are - movies based on disgusting scenes that do not need intelligent plot to achieve their purpose. But in Saw franchise that present itself as intelligent mystery thriller this is unforgivable. First hour I was bored but hoping that it will get better in time. During second half I was just sad and had to force myself not to give up before the end.5/10

sidekicknick43 While the Saw series is often (incorrectly, I feel) blamed for the goring-up of horror films and credited with starting the torture porn genre, something you'll notice if you watch the first two installments in the series is that they're fairly restrained and not as exploitive as some might expect. Saw III, on the other hand, is where the films stopped restraining themselves with the violence and adopted a policy of "keep showing! Show everything! More blood!!" This is not bad in and of itself, but I do feel like people more critical of the film are distracted by that and can't see that this film has much more story and character than the give it credit for. In this film, a doctor played by Bahar Soomekh is told she has to keep a dying Jigsaw alive while a man, played by Angus Macfadyen, goes from room to room confronting people he believes responsible for his son's death and has to choose to either let the people in the traps die, or to forgive them and set them free. The film's biggest strength is in its characters. You really feel for and understand Macfadyen's character and the tragedy of his situation and it's really hard to watch him go through his tests and face his own personal demons. Equally compelling is the Amanda-Jigsaw relationship, which is very unique for a horror film like this and the scenes they have together are the type you don't expect from a saw film, with Jigsaw reassuring Amanda that he believes in her worthiness to carry on his work in a very father-daughter like manner, with some very subtle characterization. In summary, the film has good characters, a some compelling and interesting drama and character dynamics, even going to far to explore the small difference between what Jigsaw does and what a straight-up murderer does, and the twists are just as compelling as you would expect from these movies at this point. I really wish they hadn't felt the need to be as gory with it as they did, since I think more people would be more open to the film. As is, the film is in my top 3 of the series, along with Part 6 and Part 1.

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
