If you liked the Saw movies than you'll love it

Rating: 9/10 (28 October 2006)

Every Halloween for the past 3 years I get excited. It means that its time for Saw. The violence, storyline, and always shocking twist endings combine to make a very enjoyable movie for me. As far as that's concerned Saw 3 delivers perfectly. It is just like all the Saw movies. The gore is everything to expect from a Saw movie lots of blood and horrible things. The traps and violence make me cringe and so far Saw is the movies are the only real movies that have been able to do that. The storyline is great for the most part and evens provides insight into past Saw movies, explaining back stories and such. As usual it has a twist ending that wasn't quite as good as Saw 1 or 2 but was still surprising compared to the endings of other movies. Don't expect anything to shocking but it is surprising. Like most Saw movies it does have its flaws. Saw 1 had its acting, Saw 2 had an overly complicated ending, Saw 3 combines a little of both. The acting is definitely a step down from Saw 2 which is saying something because no one from Saw 2 was exactly Oscar-worthy. Also while Saw had a surprise ending that was an instant shock, Saw 2 had a long ending with several twists, Saw 3 goes the Saw 2 with a long ending with several shocks one of which it pulls out of the bag way to early in the movie causing me to figure out a lot of it before it actually happens. However, measuring Saw 3 up to other movies it is a lot better than most crap that Hollywood dubs "horror" movies and so for that I give it a high rating. If you like gore or any of the other Saw movies you'll love Saw 3. If you like horror movies you'll like it. If you're squeamish you should go no where near it.
