What is Saw 3 to me?

Rating: 8/10 (26 October 2006)

About two or three hours ago I sat down and pre-screened Saw III at my theater. I wasn't sure what to expect, except blood, gore, and twists. I am not sure if I am pleased or disappointed yet.
The movie lived up to the the blood and gore parts. I never thought the first one was bloody or anything, but while watching this movie, I had to look away a few times. Great right? Yes. I liked the movie. I felt the movie was created beautifully (ironic huh?) and lived up to my standards. I thought the twists were a little predictable but still GOOD. One of my friends made the comment "This movie is a setup for Saw 4." I am not sure I agree with that. Some of the death scenes could have been a little more drawn out and just more UMPH to them.
The story line plot is simple....well....sort of. Jigsaw (Bell) is dying, just like the other two movies. Doctor Lynn has to keep Jigsaw alive long enough for this man to complete several "games." If they both succeed, they win. The movie also gives flashbacks to other victims in the other two movies.
I felt there were several plot holes in the movie. I am not going to get into them because that would cause spoilers. But if anyone wants to discuss with me, feel free to message me! All in all, I enjoyed the movie- as much as I enjoy feeling tensed and freaked out. Which is often!
