Not that bad...could be better though

Rating: 6/10 (18 February 2008)

I was surprised! Saw was great, Saw II was equally good. But this...this WASN'T. I mean, it was good, had unique traps and everything. But it just...had fallen from the first 2. I guess my biggest grievance was Amanda. I didn't like her since we all knew she was helping John, and she wouldn't let us forget it! Lynn also wasn't that great. A couple of times I wished the contraption would just go off. Also there were TOO many unanswered questions. Not that there weren't in the previous movies, but this movie seemed to live off of them. Torture seems to have taken over rather than fear in this movie. The first 2 movies dealt with fear and panic while this relied on pure torture and agony. This also seemed to rely on gore for its scares rather than sudden climaxes. However...it IS a Saw movie. I did like the storyline and some of the contraptions. John was good, Jeff was very convincing. I also liked the twists in the movie. 6/10, not bad...but please, try harder next time Bousman.
