our saw weekly reviews we will be talking about
the third film in the franchise with saw three saw
three is a very mixed bag for me as there is so
much of this film i really enjoy mainly with the
story and how they handle most of the characters
especially with jon amanda and dr lynn dylan but
everything else with this movie is just not
all that great without wasting any time let’s
head right into the positives starting with the
acting so far this has the strongest performances
out of the three films this is because the film
decides to focus on jigsaw played by tobin bell
throughout the film he again delivers a fantastic
performance being very sinister sophisticated and
a true sociopath i bought every scene he was in
making the film work better than the second film’s
random characters we get shawnee smith is
also great again playing amanda
ton of room to shine i thought the new character
in the film dr lynn dellen played by bajar sunke
also had a pretty solid performance as well the
second positive is the visual effects as much as
these traps are incredibly violent and gratuitous
i have to give the visual effects artists and
production designers a lot of credit for making
these traps and locations they are set in look
marvelous all these practical effects are
all built by hand adding these prosthetic and
plastic fake effects you see how over 15 years
later this film still looks great and honestly
way too believable especially the infamous brain
surgery scene i have no idea how that made it into
the theatrical cut but it was disturbing as all
hell all three of these films have stayed very
consistent in how gross and disturbing all these
films look with this one being no exception here
personally i think this is the best looking film
so far with having the most significant budget up
to this point i really love the green dark colored
filter this film has that offers this sinister
cold feel i really think this story is right up
there with the first one and i think that’s why
many people enjoy this a lot more than i do all
the story elements involving jigsaw amanda and dr
lynn dylan are fantastic so now let’s get into the
negatives starting with the editing and directing
it’s so annoying in your face that has some of
the most cringiest montages i think this film
in particular has the worst case especially toward
the end that went on for way too long i don’t know
what their obsession is with this style of editing
i can’t fathom it come on tell me what the issue
is i found this film to not be as scary as the
first film at least in the second one there was
loads of tension and suspense in this film there
is a lot less of that where we start to head into
the torture porn sequels that really got annoying
pretty quickly when watching the behind-the-scenes
footage for this film you can tell that this
movie’s focus was mainly on the traps and
how creative they could get with them i mean they
are imposing and extremely graphic which i will
give them credit for but i felt as if the film
didn’t need to be this graphic because it really
didn’t add anything to the story the only one
i thought actually worked was the brain surgery
scene that fit the narrative so perfectly and
it actually felt a lot more plausible because
it was part of the main trap i feel that all the
movies will have a bunch of twists to them as we
all go along with this franchise which i’m
okay with as long as the continuity is there
and it sounds plausible this twist was good but
it felt very messy and kind of all over the place
lastly i didn’t care for the second subplot in
the film involving the man i understand what
they were trying to do with it but all the traps
felt pretty much almost impossible to win which
doesn’t make for good suspense or tension it is
simply in the film just to extend the run time
and basically go from one trap to the next while
telling this more compelling exciting story on the
side overall i think this film is straight down
the middle for me that has a pretty great story
being right up there with the first one because of
juan and winnell creating the story for both but
besides that and the decent acting this film isn’t
scary and just a shock gorfest that i know is only
going to get worse in the later films but with
most of the traps practically being unwinnable
it becomes very still and boring to watch people’s
bodies being decimated after a while all i can say
is it was much better than i was expecting i am
giving saw three a five out of ten so have you
seen saw three and if you have what did you think
of the film and where does it rank in your saw
film rankings next week we will be talking about
the next film in the series with saw4 so be sure
to check it out before next week’s review as
