Not exactly the best of the three, in my opinion...

Rating: 7/10 (26 November 2006)

I wouldn't really say that this movie is scary, although it does have some chilling moments. I would say that it was mostly suspenseful. Also, most of the devices(or traps) came off as sickening and disgusting. They aren't really terror-striking like the ones in Saw and especially Saw 2. They were too intense and lacked the horror quality. There's a fine line between being scary and being gross, and I thought this movie, overall, was just suspenseful and gross.(Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that this is a bad film!)
*SPOILER WARNING*
One more thing I would like to add, is that the story wasn't that well written as the stories of the previous Saw Movies. That was probably the main thing that disappointed me in seeing that movie.
1.) This movie may also come off as confusing to some viewers who have not seen the previous "Saw" movies before. I would highly recommend seeing the first and second Saw movies before seeing the third, because this movie contains flashbacks that tie the first two into this movie. 2.) I do not like the fact that just about every main character in this movie dies, and leaves me hard to believe that there will be another Saw Movie. The plot should carry on and on, carrying us into the next film(it is rumored that there are supposed to be six Saw movies), but for some reason, this movie put it to a halt. Unless the next movie is a prequel or a midquel, the ending of this movie was NOT a good one. 3.) Normally, each Saw movie has a big twist that is not supposed to be known by other saw fans/viewers. Sure, the twist in this movie was unpredictable, but it wasn't as great as the other twists.
Overall, not a bad movie to add to the series, but it did not live up to the previous Saw's expectations.
