The worst of the 3

Rating: 6/10 (6 November 2006)

In 2004, Saw was released. It was a good movie, but it wasn't great. A year later, Saw II came out. It was a great movie! Definitely one of the better horror sequels out there. But, it seems like everything goes downhill with 3. Scary Movie 3 was a very funny movie, but not as good as SM1 or 2. Scream 3, Halloween 3, it's the same with a bunch of movies. 3 may be a magic number, but it rarely is with movies. Horror mainly. And that's true with Saw III as well.
Before I get to the good stuff, let's go over the bad stuff. The traps weren't that great. They all did the same stuff. They blew up stuff. One froze some naked chick, and another twisted this guy, and another one drowned people with freakin' pig guts! Another thing is that they went overboard with gore and blood. They showed a full naked body, they showed tons of blood, they even said a certain word that starts with a "c" and means the same thing as a part of the woman anatomy.
Also, the movie was too long. The other Saw films were pretty short. The first was about 100 minutes, and Saw II was 92 minutes. This is 107 minutes. Too long. An ultra gory flick like this only needs to be about as long as, well, Saw II.
That's the bad stuff. Next comes the good stuff.
Oops! Forgot another bad thing: TOO MANY OUT-OF-PLACE FLASHBACKS! Some flashbacks were needed, but others were flashbacks of stuff that happened in THIS MOVIE. They showed each flashback about 100 times.
Right now, I don't feel like naming the good stuff. I just hope they DON'T make a Saw IV. If they do, I'll rent it, but I won't spend 6 bucks on a movie ticket. Besides, Jigsaw's dead. I know they can write him in somehow, but he's dead.
Who knows, though? Maybe Saw IV will be good. Halloween 4 was better than Halloween 3.
