Why would anybody find pleasure in this sick and boring fest of unnessacary gore and unresulting terror. This movie may be grim, but it is not scary. It is simply a brillant load of garbage. Worst flop of 2006. Well of course its #1 in the box office for the first week but so was grudge 2 and that fell apart after three seconds.

Just like the first two, a waste of time and money. Will surley dissapoint horror fans and there craving of gore. If saw 4 wants to get serious, i say go for the NC17.

Stylish and impressive, but that's only for a horror movie. It achives cheap scares through old tricks and new gore but really leaves you dissapointed at the end. Lets hope 4,5 and 6 are better than the first three. My ratings for the movies thus far: Saw -7.1 Saw ||- 3.4 Saw |||- 3.9. The first was the best because it played with real character development and showed plot twists while achiving low-budget but brillant scares and always keeping you intrested with good acting. The second was only there for the purpose of money and proved to be a complete waste of time: Watching people brutally suffer for pleasure while showing no real plot and just making the viewer sligtly disturbed with ketchup gore. The Third: A girl takes control of the killing making it more fun. But the unorginal scares and copy-cat script makes the movie dull and uneffective. The gore is real but not revolutionary and the acting is all together dreadful. The Saws, in general, suck.… Expand

This movie was very disgraceful. I mean, does Mr. Jigsaw over there say anything but "its all a test"? There is no plot what so ever. All it is, is a bunch of people being tortured in contraptions that they have a 0% chance in surviving.

Boring and dumb. Bad acting, bad dialogue, lame deaths. Last ten minutes are the only good scenes.

Too much gore, too little scares.

Saw has always been flawed. Jigsaw's "reasoning" is like the Nazis pleading innocent at the Nuremberg Trials based on the fact that some of their prisoners, the ones who actually "tried," survived. Ridiculous, I know. But it isn't until Saw III that it gets really annoying as Jigsaw preaches more than the first two movies combined and the pointless body count just increases. Unlike Saw II, however, which was just gross and boring this second sequel is at least laughably bad. The last fifteen minutes of the movie is literally a flashback montage which ridiculously shows things that literally happened ten seconds ago in the movie. I don't know about other people, but i couldn't stop laughing during this.… Expand

Saw 1 was a good movie with a great ending. Saw 2 was a terrible movie with a decent ending. Saw 3 is just plain terrible. The reasoning behind this movie, in particular, makes me question whether the writers truly had no idea where to go with it. I found the movie tedious and frustrating to watch, and the ending "twist" was laughable. I was so disappointed with this movie after several people told me it was the best in the series.… Expand

Nowhere near as good as the first two. The end twist was and dual storylines were good but the two hot babes working as the doctor and psycho assistant was too much of a stretch. Saw got a little too Hollywood compared to the first two.

There was no point in this movie at all.The first movie was very good, the 2nd movie was just ok. But this one just takes the cake its so BAD!!!! Its like they did this movie with their eyes closed. They should have at least made the ending much better.

Morally repugnant, sadistic and pointless unless you kick your kicks watching people being tortured physically and mentally. If you do then you should probably join Al-Queda.

Awful, awful, awful. Perhaps the worst movie I have ever seen. Are we supposed to care about any of the characters? The plot and dialogue could have been developed by a middle-school drama club. The acting is atrocious, but the script is likely responsible for most of that. And the horror is simply gratuitous torture. I guess I'm giving it a "1" because I'm sure a worse movie will come out at some point... or perhaps not.… Expand

It's kind of funny, really. The writers have tried to disguise the numerous flaws and inconsistencies of the second movie as a plot point in Saw III. It doesn't work, as it becomes even more clear that the, um, villain I guess, Jigsaw's greatest disconnect from the real world is probably his misconception of himself as some sort of genius. This would be less of a problem if the concept of the movie was not the idea of watching a clever, yet sadistic, genius at his diabolical work. When the conclusion explains the "purpose" behind everything, it is even harder not to roll your eyes than in Saw II. The acting leaves quite a bit to be desired, as I often didn't buy the characters' responses, but this might just be bad writing. As far as the gore goes, it is hard to tell if it's lameness lies in that society become inured to blood and guts as a result of increasing violence (in art and real life), or if the disconnect due to overall crappiness of the movie prevented any visceral response to the gore. I recommend this movie only as a reminder of how thankful we should be that some movies, even some horror movies, are good.… Expand

Terrible! End the franchise now!

The saw III writers took the movie in the wrong direction after the first saw. Poor acting. Poor killing. Poor writing. Equate to a poor movie.

Filth. Rubbish. Muck. Drab. Bad. Pointless. Unnecessary. Redundant. Hollow.

Just about the sickest. most sadistic, meaningless load of trash I've ever seen. The ending is just hollow....If you enjoy this movie you simply enjoy watching people suffer and are a little like jigsaw yourself.
