Jigsaw is possibly the dumbest character ever created. He hates murderers yet he puts people in a position where theres a 99% chance of dying. The people in the traps are usually no better. They are aggressive and stupid and can't figure out how to get around the most basic traps. This movie is a complete waste of time unless you enjoy bloodlust.… Expand

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.

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film is why I stopped watching the SAW franchise. Not only do we get a lot more of the same tired brutal murder scenes, we also have a long exposition at the end of the movie to explain that the killer had been watched the whole time, which again shows the brutal death scenes compiled.… Expand

I admit that Jigsaw is a pretty great villain, but the fact he can't save the movie from being an overload of scary clichés makes him want to stop playing the Jigsaw game and end the entire franchise all together.

Oh god part 3? Who wanted this? It's just the same thing! Some different traps, characters who have one personality, and an awful story. And there are more sequels.

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.

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 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 Saw 1 was a good movie with a great ending.

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

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 Awful, awful, awful. Perhaps the worst movie I have ever seen. Are we supposed to care about any of the characters?

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, 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

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.

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.

Remember when American horror was turning out movies like Alien and The Thing? You know, ones that were actually terrifying? Yeah, don't expect that anytime soon. This is what horror has become. Cheap torture movies like this and Remember when American horror was turning out movies like Alien and The Thing? You know, ones that were actually terrifying? Yeah, don't expect that anytime soon. This is what horror has become. Cheap torture movies like this and Hostel. They really want to bother you with their gory contraptions, but really, they're ridiculous. Atleast you get to watch some terrible actors die. But I can just watch The Departed for that, and actually have fun.… Expand
