Saw I = amazing and original. Saw II = wow, for once, a movie is just as good or better than the original. Saw III = WTF ????
Extremely disappointed. The whole plot was screwed up. The Doctor was 3 breaths from dying in Saw II, eaten up with cancer. Now all of a sudden you spend 50 minutes leading up to some stupid operation that's only going to prolong the life of the doctor another, what, 2 hours? Plus you've got this guy Jeff that no one cares about, and we're not sure if we're supposed to be rooting for him or what, going through these tests, but he passes them all quite easily. In the first 2 Saw movies, you were -with- the poor saps going through these tests, and horrified with them. But Jeff just quietly bumbles through them. Leads up finally to the guy who ended up hitting his son with a car, all about vengeance and all that crap.
Then the whole intern, which was awesome in Saw II, starts getting all emotional and stupid in Saw III. This movie was such a waste. Flashbacks meant nothing. They probably filmed the scenes while doing Saw II, and Wahlberg realized what a crappy script Saw III was and he bailed, so to make some kind of transition seem to fit in, they threw in some flashback-deleted scenes reel from Saw II, showing Wahlberg trying to escape.
I was really surprised when i saw it was the same writers from Saw I and Saw II, i figured this was some new intern writer or something working on this one. Very disappointed.
