The movie, with the actual play out minus all the hype.

Rating: 3/10 (11 November 2006)

This was a rather disappointing movie. People say that when movies come out with sequels and trilogies, they are usually not as impressive. Though many movies have exceptions, this movie unfortunately fits the stereotype.
Without citing any examples or spoilers, I must say that the characters in this movie did not seem real enough to connect with the audience. While it would leave me at certain times thinking "That's what I would do," other times the characters seemed a little fake.
The first "saw" movie was rather okay, being thought provoking and making you breathe just a little faster during the movie. The second one was rather unimpressive, but worth watching just for the sake of going "I watched 'Saw 2,'" However, I believe that this does not come close to taking the cake of the three. I unraveled the plot in a matter of about 10 or so minutes into the movie, and I was unfortunately proved right at the end. People may dispute the intense violence and gore of the "Saw" trilogy to be a thing needed in all the movies, but there will be moments when even the most stomach strong gore enthusiasts may begin to think they are a little unnecessary.
Is this movie worth watching if you've never even seen the first two? No. There are people that can pick up on the storyline of a sequel, even if they haven't seen the first one. However, this one is just way too "out there." It will be a senseless slasher (its not a slasher film, but there are moments of slashing), gory, torture, mind breaking inducement hour and however minutes it is long.
Should you watch this movie if you liked the fist two? I guess so, but I would say not to expect too much from it. As an individual movie, if not trying to milk the first two, this movie is not one to be enjoyed. It appears that the hype created from the first two "Saw" movies were overestimated, and this is probably the least impressive of the trilogy.
