Best Saw Flick

This is my favorite of all the Saw films. I thik it is the most well made. It was very entertaining, like a good movie should be and the aspects of it were fantastic. Any horror fan would love this film. So if for some reason you haven't see it, do it. You won't regret it.

Saw 3

Saw 3 is the first reason for me to think that this franchise has died. The film is poorly directed for involving too many camera-shaking scenes. The screenplay is weak, it's not as smart as the first two SAW movies are. Even the usually good death traps are bad. This movie is gross and gory, it's not for the faint of heart. The only things that keep this pointless film from being a total disaster, is the good performances by Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith and Bahar Soomekh. The flashbacks to the first two films and the now softer, now classic SAW score. I hope this is the last of the SAW movies, but from the success of this franchise, it won't be.

A gory way to spend an evening

There is a modicum of entertainment to be found in Saw III, director Darren Lynn Bousman’s entry into the horror series, though purely for gore-lovers and those not jaded by thriller techniques in horror movies. As with the first two films, Saw III is written by Leigh Whannell, who also played Adam in the original. One wonders if his screenplay was written with the same boost of creativity that inspired the first story, or with dollar signs in his sights. This is a franchise that cashes in, especially around the Halloween season, but at the price of becoming rapidly more violent, unnecessarily gory and convoluted.

Saw III spends a lot of its running time explaining various activities of The Jigsaw Killer (Tobin Bell) and his cohort, Amanda (Shawnee Smith) who was a former victim of Ji...

Keep sawing

I very much liked this second sequel to "Saw". For me, the story unfolded at an unrelenting pace and offerend non-stop suspense from beginning to end. That's probably good, because there is no time to ponder plot holes, of which there must be at least a few in a story so intricate. And this is considering that I watched the unrated director's cut, which maxes out at nearly two hours!

I find the scripts in the "Saw" movies extremely clever. And they seem to maintain continuity among them all, like there really is an overall plan (other than making money). This one is not as good as the first one (what sequel is?), yet better than the second one. If the filmmakers can sustain the creativity, I hope there continues to be a new one released every year on the Friday before Halloween.
