Please God Close The Book On Saw

Rating: 8/10 (26 October 2006)

8/10
OK before you ask I'm not making this up i have seen saw 3 (went to the cinemas last night ended up watching Texas chainsaw massacre the beginning which was OK very predictable and basically everything i expected just more gory) anyway through some contacts i got invited to watch saw 3 some of the staff were watching it late night.
Hmmmmm OK its hard to comment on the film much because i really want to tell you the main spoilers but would get shot.......all I'm saying is half the people on the saw3 board are making spoilers up from what I've just read.
This film reminded me more of saw 1 than of saw 2. I think in saw 2 jigsaw was taking the p*ss and having fun with his plan this one jigsaw goes back to actually being like he was in saw 1. Yes the film does answer most of the questions people want to know about the entire series and at time is flashbacks before the original saw.
The traps seem to unrealistic unlike saw 1 where the traps were accepted as being able to pull off. Putting people in big mechanical traps considering jigsaw is basically near his death in this film seemed very far-fetched but this is another long awaited saw film so who cares.
The gore was more violent in this film and i think at times was not needed because the original saw was implied horror you didn't actually see much apart from a few quick shots of blood.
There are quite a few twists in this film and i recommend watching saw 1 and 2 before seeing this one just so you fully understand certain characters relationships to the past character. Basically this is still a class film and the twist although is very good didn't seem as shocking as the previous two films but was well written and remains a strong trilogy.
OK not Leigh or James writing the next film then there should NOT be saw 4.......this film just about pushed the franchise too far but was really great to see jigsaw back in action but didn't seem as original as the past 2 films. Anyway its hard to rank the films in order i need to watch this at home again when on DVD. But the original saw was the best even though i loved saw 2 it was a great follow up. I was a little bit disappointed to be honest at the way SAW 3 ended but it could of been a lot worse i suppose but still a great film which i was expecting way to much from.
