Saw III does little beyond repeating its predecessor's tropes on a gorier level. The cinematic style is no good either.... Full review

Fist, watch I and II before this. Second, this film really is the turning point for the series, for better for many, for worse for many. I say way better. While it's more an episode in a series, it delivers more... Full review

This movie is still, just as good. The story has far more gore and it's very good. The acting is absolutely great. The direction is very stunning and better than the first two. The visuals are absolutely brilliant and amazing. Overall,... Full review

Saw 3 would most likely be the film to win most absurd horror flick in years. Its story was exceptionally good, it explained backstories, gave good life lessons, and also explained thehistory of the villianous Jigsaw. It does have some high... Full review

A trilogy of pure torture, brutal overkill expression of those connections between ideas that awaken amusement and pleasure. All bets are off, the tables are turned. "Saw III" delivers gruesome scenes of intense and profound fear and a twisted plot ending.... Full review

Saw 3 is a really good movie. I liked it a lot. The acting isn't the best though except by Jigsaw. The visuals are always unreal and very disturbing and the story is close to as good as the first one.... Full review

This one's different from 2, as it attempts to be more serious. However, it is only more annoying, aggravating, even as it gets more gruesome. It should have just destroyed the series with it's throwaway plot.... Full review

| Feb 08, 2009Urban Cinefile
Technically the film is admirable, and while there are a few perplexing moments as the back and forth structure whizzes past, the film holds up well as an ever-moving, ever-engrossing, seat-squirming experience.
This is, not surprisingly, the best developed story of the franchise (still defying much logical or rational analysis, of course) and we spend considerable time with a terminally ill Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) who has been constructed as a somewhat misguided moral snob wishing to instil good - in this cas ...

Saw III" is the best of the trilogy, more gruesome, intelligent, and creative than its predecessors.
The ending gets far too convoluted.

Shame then, that his almost instantly greenlighted Saw III is such a dull, pointlessly cluttered, over-plotted and joyless gorefest that mistakes cruelty for ingenuity.
All of these poorly essayed characters are awkwardly crammed into the action and almost none of their plights pay off in any kind of compelling or remotely logical way.

Thanks to the brilliant cinematography of David A. Armstrong, who has been on board for all three films, Saw III looks absolutely fabulous on the digital medium.
The DVD: Saw III Saw III universe - and tosses in an amazing amount of gorehound loving grue.
