Ok, I LOVED Saw 1. I liked Saw 2. The only good part of Saw 3 was the last 15 minutes. It was like the writer of saw 1 was hired to do the last 15 minutes, and they added an hour of crap in front of it to make it all make sense.
I was not impressed.
The entire premise of Saw is not the gruesome violence and torture, it is a mental game. This movie completely failed to capture that essence and instead focused only on gory death. One of the things I liked about Saw 1 is that the deaths were all from things that were real. Everything is something that could really happen. In this one there are a couple that even the magic of the movie “suspension of disbelief” made it hard to swallow (i.e. the freezer scene).
I give this movie a 2/10. Which is sad because Saw 1 is a perfect 10/10.
