Extremely disappointing to say the least

Rating: 4/10 (27 October 2006)

Okay, if you're a Saw fan, you will be VERY disappointed with this one. It was nice to see all the missing pieces (pardon the pun) from all of Jigsaw's schemes, but the whole Amanda thing really bothered me. I found that the Saw makers really screwed up with bringing Amanda into the story. I LOVED when Donnie (Eric Matthews) commented on how she is NOTHING, which I completely agree with. She is just some whiny little girl who Jigsaw should have finished off. He gave her a chance, he tested her again (huge spoiler!!!) and I just find her character to be weak. I am not sure if it was the character or the actress, but I found it to be a really bad part of the story. Okay, it was a mind boggler to find out in part 2 that she was his accomplice. I found it ironic that she was cutting herself and doing drugs, Jigsaw chose her, she got out of the trap, gets a second chance, and screws it up big time by cutting herself and NOT listening to her mentor. Way to screw up big time Amanda. I found the end was really weak and predictable with no second guesses. People were actually booing it in the theater, myself included. If you can piece together how Jigsaw performed/set up all of his traps from the first 2 movie, that's all that Saw 3 pieces together, and also seems like it has cheap clips from E.R. hahaha! If you want to see how it ends, go ahead, but wait until it comes out on video. I hate to betray the franchise, I am a huge fan of 1 and 2, but I am just really let down by this movie. Sorry to those who are fans. Oh, one more thing: some of the flashbacks take place maybe 2 minutes after something just happened, which seems retarded.
