Saw 3: Thy Name is Revenge

Rating: 7/10 (28 October 2006)

Well, not being a huge fan of the first Saw, but enjoying it. Saw 2 showed up and sucked. I thought it was just a mess of a film, acting above all. Well thankfully Saw 3 has taken a step forward. Saw 3 is better than the first two. It doesn't have the mysterious charm of the first, but it's story is deeper and the deaths are bloodier, gorier and overall just better.
Story is about the bedridden Jigsaw needing help due to the tumor growing on his brain. His accomplice (the chick from the 2nd) is helping out, and she manages to get kidnap a doctor to help save Jigsaw....obviously a deadly game is involved. The story/game in this flick is on a much larger scale than the previous two films. There is also a couple throw in "games" and a side story (my favorite part of the film) which is thrown into the mix.
I kind of thought Saw 3 was a little long. They kept showing you what you were supposed to be thinking through short clips....I would say this is the most predictable Saw 3 yet, so these clips weren't really needed. But they are helpful. I also didn't like the accomplice to Jigsaw...she's a little too good at what she does, for being an amateur. I can complain about stuff till the cows come home, but I'd rather just say that this movie will most likely be a huge hit for Saw fans and Saw haters won't hate so much anymore....maybe not. It's not a bad movie...I wouldn't say it's a great movie. But it was pretty unique and gory. Pretty good flick. 7 outta 10
