Average user rating for Saw III |
| Good, scary stuff. Even at the third film, the twists and turns of the plot were unpredictable and unexpected. There are some very tense sequences, although by this stage the gore is becoming more and more prevalent. Overall, it's a great end to the trilogy - if it is the end - and better than the almost-as-good second film. And Tobin Bell got top billing, which is abviously a great thing. ... More | |

| I saw(!!) this last night, it was ok, some nice gruesome moments but ot as good as the 1st or even the 2nd. The most entertaining thing for me was watching my girlfriend cower behind her jacket. Not much of a plot, lets hope they leave it at that, not sure how it would go into a 4th, but they probably will. ... More | |

| What a let down this was. The best thing about this was the torture scenes, which to be fair is the key selling point. They were truely painful to watch, one particular scene has a guy with loads of hooks attached to him, a bit like a scene from Hellraiser. Apart from the grotesque torture, the film doesn't have anything else to offer. It spends most of its time in flashbacks to Saw 1 and 2, mostly showing things we already knew and only explaining a tiny bit extra which we really didn't need to... More | |

| I thought the first one was great, the second one not so good but this one... It's rubbish & not scary. The acting is atrocious, the plot a totally pathetic joke, the gory scene were very fast, as gory as possible without any point leaving you to just cringe but not care, the ending painfully long with “educational” flashbacks for anyone not remembering 1 & 2 or that were senile enough to not remember what happened 10min ago, filled with boring predicable “twist̶...

| RE: Saw 3 | |
| What is this at the end of the day but an excuse to offend? Yes, it does that quite well, but the third movie is not as well conceived as the first one, but better than the second. I thought it was good value for money and I managed to stay awake all the way through, which is more than can be said for the the second one. Giving it a three is like giving Borat a five (nudge to Empire here). Whilst on first viewing it seems worthy of the mark, on reflection there are too many things that are... More | |

| Not bad, but not great either. As someone has already said, if you have only seen the first, I probably wouldn't bother with the second and third installments. Saw is a great stand-alone film, and it was much better leaving us asking who? why? etc. ***SPOLIERS?*** Amanda was very irritating, and seemed like the character had been twisted just to fit the story. Overall, it just seemed like the story had been rushed as it had potential to tie up loose ends, and be left as a trilogy. I... More | |

| Better Than Expected | |
| I really liked Saw, hated Saw 2 so wasn't fussed about seeing this one but found myself with a few hours to kill so thought why not (see the film that is, not commit murder!)? To be honest it was much better than expected with some good gruesome moments to keep the gorehpunds entertained. My biggest problem with it was the same as with Saw 2 in that I hated the Amanda character and just found her irritating. Her use of the C word for shock value missed the mark by a mile and failed miserably.... More | |

| I loved the first, liked the second. But this one was tedious. Especially all the flash backs to the first and second films. Clearly filler. Ironically the gore cancelled this one's affectiveness as a horror. Hopefully there will be no more of these movies. ... More | |

| RE: hmmmm | |
| Well having being utterly horrified at the dire mess that was Saw II, I wasn't holding out much hope for this one. However I have to say, in comparison to the second this one was a vast improvement. Far more inventive than the second and much better acted too. However Angus Mcfayden?? Surprised at him choosing this role...much as I was surprised at Donnie Wahlberg for appearing in the pile of crap, Saw II. However, as I was saying, definitely an improvement o... More | |

| RE: Saw 3 | |
| Not a bad film, but not a great one either. The gore was as inventive as the first two films but, in the current resurgance of gore-fest movies, inventive torture isn't enough to satisfy. The story was a bit iffy, as was the acting and a further sequel would just see the franchise plunge headlong into the friday the 13th and nighmare on elm street territory. Personally i would like to remember the SAW films as they are and not what they would become if any more are made (remember what hap... More | |

| Saw 3 | |
| Even by current horror movie standards {i.e.Hostel,Texas Chainsaw Masacre:The Beginning},Saw 3 is pretty strong meat. Before ten minutes are up we see a man smash his foot to pulp with a club to free it from a chain,and another guy pulling out hooks which are on the ends of chains and embedded in various parts of his body. And lets not get into the brain surgery. This film doesn't hold back at all. But does this make it any good? Not much else about Saw 3 is memorable. There's little of the s... More | |

| RE: A misunderstood masterpeice? | |
| L: craigmick The concept behind Saw is incredible. A genius serial killer who places his victims in elaborate puzzles so they will face the fear that has been controlling their life, and their only way out is to go against the one thing that drives them. In some ways he is trying to help them, but be it through their weakness or inability to go against what they believe, they normally fail, gruesomely. With each new instalment the game is made more complex and more intriguing. We learn mor... More | |

| I loved the first film, thought the 2nd was decent and while I enjoyed the 3rd as well, it left me feeling a little cheated. The plot wasn't as inventive as the first 2 and it was quite obvious where the film was headed. I thought that it tried to be as grusome as possible, and while there were as many 'cringe' moments I found the plot lacked a little. It does leave an opening for a 4th film, but if the downward spiral continues, I fear that it won't be u... More | |
