Absolutely the BEST Saw.... so far?

Rating: 8/10 (6 November 2006)

I went into the cinema with a hopeful but open mind. In my eyes, Saw was good but not brilliant, if the acting and direction had been better, it would have been an awesome movie... Saw 2 was not as good as the first, but still had it's moments... Saw 3 TOTALLY blows the first two out of the water! The irony (well, sort of) is that without the first 2, the third would make no sense (well, duhhhhh). Very rarely do sequels out-do the original, but Saw 3 kicks arse! Once again, the acting isn't brilliant, but it delivers a much darker and wicked movie. I only wish the first two had been made this way. It was indeed a very clever formula that made for an enjoyable, if at times cringeworthy (i mean the torture scenes and booby traps) 90 or so minutes. I loved it being a big horror fan, go see it.... NOW!
