Typical Hollywood

Rating: 4/10 (13 November 2006)

Let me first start out by saying that I am a huge fan of Saw and Saw II. I entered the movie theater to see Saw III with great expectations. I came away disappointed. Is it just me, or did the movie makers simply find a way to charge the public $8 for the deleted scenes from the first 2 movies? I consider myself an intellectual, and good storytelling is key in most movies, but come on...The reason I watch the Saw movies is for the inventive, sadistic killings! :) Even the killings in Saw III didn't seem as great. No way out? Come on, that's what makes them so great, that there is a chance the victim will live, but I digress... (I loved "the rack", though!) It just seems to me the movie makers are trying to keep this series alive when they should just quit while they're ahead. Case in point: Friday the 13th, 1-3...great, great horror flicks. Numbers 4 through whatever they are up to: just plain silly. Jason in space? Come on!
