If you haven't seen the original two, I highly suggest you watch them first, as this movie would not have anywhere near the depth it has with knowledge of the preceding events. That said, Saw III is quite a good sequel, in that it develops on the important events and subplots of the previous installments. It again contains clever traps and hair-raising situations that cause people to reevaluate their ethical beliefs, and includes the same multiple-twist style ending as the first two movies in the series. I would not rate it quite as highly as the previous two versions, only because much of the tension is lost when fewer characters are interacting in the "games," and the connections between the characters who are playing the games are not revealed until later. It is not that the characters are two-dimensional, it's probably caused by the gradual nature of the revelations. Nevertheless, the Saw series continues to be among the more intelligent offerings in a genre not traditionally known for its intelligence. Above-average acting, intriguing situations, and well-paced storytelling all contribute to making this film a must-see for horror/suspense lovers.Read full review
This is important: If you haven't seen the first two movies, stop reading this and buy/rent those before you pick this one up. You'll get much more enjoyment out of this one if you have the back story...Trust me. Saw III is a good sequel, but not a great stand-alone movie. This installment is NOT light on the gory content by any stretch of the imagination, but it left something to be desired. I am a avid horror film viewer and am willing to give anything a chance. When the first Saw came out, I reluctantly watched it and was immediately hooked. I suffered no such reluctance with Saw II or Saw III and went to see both the day they hit the theaters. I could have saved myself $7.25 on Saw III and waited for it to come out on DVD. Why should I have waited? This movie was simply not on the same level as the first two. I was disappointed by the lack of "games." Oh, there are the typical Jigsaw-esque games, but not like the first two. There are really only a couple of characters forced to play games, unlike the first two. Most of the movie is spent testing one character's ability to forgive the man responsible for killing his son. (don't worry, that's not a spoiler; you get that info right away.) The flashback scenes leave you slightly confused, wondering what this information has to do with the movie. It has plot twists, gore and games...but I felt like something was missing... I liked the movie but it wasn't as good as it's predecessors. IF YOU LIKE GORE, THIS IS THE MOVIE FOR YOU! All things considered, this is only average. They could have done much better. This one's definately not suitable for the kids, though.Read full review
The movie moved at a very steady pace, keeping you entertained throughout. It starts off where it left you off at saw 2. It explains how jigsaw set some tricks up for the first and second movies. It explains why he chose Amanda to work with him. Unravelling all mysteries that you had from the previous 2 saws. To leave you at the last second at the edge of your seat, with a twist in the story. In the end its revealed everything that had occurred in the movie, was all planned out by the mastermind jigsaw from the beginning of the movie --he had Amanda set up. You’ll be sitting in awe at the last second craving for saw 4 when you see what happens and how its played out. This is probably the best of all saws. You should definitely check it out-- its well worth it-- if not-- BUY IT! And I’m not even a movie-goer so much, but I’m amazed at how these saw movies make you think of your own life. Not for the weak at heart!Read full review
You will want to see Saw 1 and 2 before you see this one because tell's you how some parts were done in them so you will need to see them to understand. I will have to say that this is the best in the series. I didn't think the Saw movies could get better but Saw just did get better. The death traps in this Saw are even better than the other 2, and this is a very intense, gorey, and bloody horror movie, & more so than the others. If you like the Saw 1, and 2 you will for sure love this one. Now, the way this one end sure will leave you thinking there won't be no more Saw movies so that is a bummer. You will want to add this to you collection of Movies this is one to own not rent if your into Horror flicks. This might not be a movie for the young kiddies to see or they may not sleep well after seeing this one. So, Beware Kids. I give this a 5 out of 5.Read full review
Saw III is The best Saw of them all This movie was absolutley spectacular, the best of the three saw films. It brings the entire series to an absolute great ending and answers all the questions you didn't know you had. The acting is great, Tobin Bell is spectacular, and the death scenes are even more gruesome than the previous Saw films. Final Verdict: 5/5 Rent or buy?: A must buy for any fan of the Saw series.
