The weakest in the series

Rating: 3/10 (17 June 2009)

I am a big fan of the 'Saw' series and I was naturally anticipating Saw 3. To be perfectly honest, it really was the worst out of the series.
The horror and gore is on top form and the various traps that a fluent in the movie are inventive but my problem with this film is that it is TOO relentless and I don't remember a single character surviving (even though there was many chances for a few of them to live through the story) it kin of got repetitive because I knew that EVERYONE was going to die.
My other problem is the painfully irritating main character who seems to take forever to make up his mind on whether to forgive the people 'responsible' for his sons accidental death, then just as he decides the good option, they end up dead! That really annoyed me.
With a franchise like this, you have to tread very carefully that the story doesn't dwindle and fizzle out and I thought the series was dying out with this movie because it didn't offer us anything new or anything to care about. The only difference is we find out a few twists at the end but wasn't enough for me.
Don't be disappointed however, as Saw 4 was much, much better.
