Enough was enough!

Rating: 4/10 (10 January 2007)

The first SAW was intriguing. Although it was so obviously derived from Seven, I still thought it was clever. One of its traits I admired was that it made me flinch from the gore without actually displaying any gore. In my humble opinion, that is an example of the art of movie making. I admit, the ending caught me off-guard, and in a fun I-can't-believe-I-didn't-see-that-coming sort of way.
Saw 2? Not worth the breath required to cast a comment.
I heard great things about Saw 3. Of course, I had heard great things about King Kong (2005) too. I was disappointed. In fact, I had to literally force myself to watch the film. I saw the ending coming within the first 15 minutes. I felt absolutely no pity for any of the characters, save the poor chap who was forced to swim in pig guts. The gore was disgusting in an obnoxious and irritating kind of way. Saw 3 is a prime example of a film franchise that needs to be put down to sleep... permanently.
