Saw-3, a disappointment

Rating: 4/10 (24 January 2007)

This was a letdown, and no one is more disappointed than I am that this is the case. I am not one to shy away from gore and blood,I mean after the first two one must enjoy that kind of entertainment, right? but the murder scenes lacked the originality of the first 2, they were just gore, and prolonged and a waste of screen time. I felt "nothing" towards any character and could have cared less when they were killed. The movie lacks the emotional depth,cleverness and horror that we came to appreciate in SAW-1-2. The movie was erratic and I was NEVER scared or amused, horrified, or engrossed. I admit I know nothing about the director of 1&2 but I can't believe it is the same one here, SOMETHING is different. I believe the movie is worth renting, but be prepared to be let down. The movie ends with the idea of a 4th firmly in place..let us hope that they go back to the teams behind 1&2.
