gory filler

Rating: 3/10 (9 November 2006)

I left this movie absolutely disappointed. Saw i delivered suspense, horror, character development, and an amazing story with a great twist. Saw 3 has none of those things. The only thing carried over is the grungy, dark backgrounds and scenes of intense pain and gore. The storyline is lacking at best. The flashback scenes, which were probably the most interesting parts of the movie, seemed like they were leftovers of Saw I. There was some character development and good performances, but the characters themselves seem offbeat and illogical. Jigsaw now puts people in his traps for absolutely bizarre and nonsensical reasons.
Most of the movie was simply filler with no real substance to it. The overdone - and i mean overdone - torture scenes are boring at best. If this movie was shorter, perhaps, it could have kept the audience entertained. However, the lengthy boredom stopped the movie from amping up any tension, and the signature twist expected from every saw movie was weak at best.
Die-hard fans of saw I should steer clear of Saw 3. this movie is simply an example of greedy producers milking the cash cow dry. casual moviegoers that just want to know what happened might somewhat enjoy it, but this is not the kind of movie that casual moviegoers would go to anyway.. Don't see this movie. Rent saw I and watch it at home instead
