very gory but doesn't come with much of a story

Rating: 1/10 (28 October 2006)

In this movie, however great the end twist (usually associated with saw movies) is, does not even begin to justify the means. The movie's gore level in the first ten minutes far exceeds that of the first two movies combined. In the previous saw movies ***spoiler for saw 1 and 2*** the endings were by no means happy endings, but ****spoiler for saw 3**** this movie's ending is so terrible that it left no room for thought like the others had. Now that is my personal opinion and by giving you no specific details I will let you formulate your own opinion when you go see the movie. In other words me saying that it is gory and that it doesn't have a great plot aren't spoilers. That's why I don't have standard spoiler warnings but rather my own because this "in my opinion" is the best review done by a proclaimed saw fan. If you haven't seen the first two saw movies and you aren't going into the theater with high, and biased because of the other two, expectations then you might think that the movie is okay, but you wouldn't understand some of the things that are going on as they relate directly to the first two movies.
As a big saw fan, this movie was a tremendous letdown. Like I said though, if I hadn't had such high hopes and if I hadn't been waiting so long then the utter terribleness of this movie wouldn't have been such a bad thing.
