MAJOR SPOILERS IN THE FOLLOWING

Well I saw it last night. Not much, as I expected, but it was BETTER than the second. Still I can only call the first one in the series a good movie.

I saw the ending coming, but hey it gave us some great character development in Jigsaw. I also really enjoyed the tension of the father choosing to forgive and avenge, though when the judge got shot in the face after being saved, just so he can die, really irked me much like them killing of Dina Meyer's cool character for no good reason (and yes the reason Jigsaw gave for a cop dedicated to solving murders was bull****, which is why he didn't touch her in the second movie).

But the gore got ****ing ridiculous. The first was a good suspensful and SURPRISING thriller. The second was a dumb slasher movie. And this is a very entertaining and somewhat suspensful snuff movie. How much further can they take the gore.

Really SUPER DUPER SPOILERS NOW

Spoiler

Anyway, the most interesting thing to me is the ending. I saw the Amanda dying (hated how she went from a great character in the first two to a scene chewing villainess whose death you saw from the first frame, albeit it gave Jigsaw sometime for some nice development) and the husband killing his wife when killing Jigsaw, but the kid threw me for a nice loop. And on the whole the movie while gratutitous kept me on the edge of my seat half the time, something Saw II failed to do miserably and made Jigsaw much more interesting to watch.

HOWEVER, I think I can predict the TWIST for Saw IV (and yes, given this ending THERE WILL BE A SAW IV). And before you ask how can there be a Saw IV without a villain, well we never saw Jigsaw until the last 5 seconds of the superior Saw I. Anyway, the third movie seemed to wrap up all the loose ends. We saw how Adam died. We saw the end of the cop from the second, Dina Meyer was uncermoneously written out of the series and of course Amanda and Jigsaw are now going to be pushing up daisies.

BUT WHO SAYS JIGSAW ONLY HAD ONE ACCOMPLISE IN THE SEQUELS? Some of this stuff may have been too high-tech for Amanda. And besides that there is one character that not once has been said to be "dead" and we never saw what happened to him once in the whole movie. I'm talking about LAWERENCE GORDON. Lynn never referred to Gordon as dead, nor did she ever say otherwise when speaking of him. All we've seen is a foot. We saw Amanda go back and finish off Adam but no showing of Gordon. In fact, the first movie ended ambiguously enough to what happened to Gordon (he probably bled to death but his body isn't in the house with Adam and that other guy, nor is his death ever mentioned or shown).

I'm not saying it's a good idea, and most people will not like it, but the twist ending of Saw IV is DR. GORDON is the new Jigsaw.

The first was the weakest of the 3 by far(though still a great movie), and the way Amanda evolved throughout the trilogy is one of my favorite things about the movies. I loved her more than ever in SAW III, and she's every bit as compelling as Jigsaw is.
None of them are anything even close to snuff movies(and SAW II wasn't a slasher movie either), and to call them such shows a complete lack of understanding of a snuff movie is, and movies like this are SUPPOSED to be heavily gory, they're SUPPOSED to push the envelope. If you think strong gore is "ridiculous," you shouldn't even be watching films like this. Might as well complain about the amount of humor in a comedy being "ridiculous."

Intresting, I know my friend believes the same thing.

I loved this site:

It tells you all the content in the film. I like going there after watching the film.

 

[WorthyStevens]

Spoiler

I think it'd actually be fascinating to see her come back. How does she feel about Jigsaw now? Betrayed and ready to turn his back on him, maybe help the authorities solve his latest puzzles to help free the daughter? More loyal than ever to his TRUE cause? More angry than ever at people, and more willing than ever to kill them?

Spoiler

Interesting points. But unless she becomes the mastermind behind Jigsaw herself, I can't see much point to her character anymore.

 

[The Dark Defender]

Spoiler

I doubt that she'd be angry at him anyway after understanding what he was trying to do.

 

[Bishop2]

Spoiler

I doubt that she'd be angry at him anyway after understanding what he was trying to do.

I think she likely would be, myself.

Spoiler

Because for her, the big issue was always whether or not he loved her and cared about her the way that she cared about him. And the fact that he was willing to kill her gives her a clear answer of "no."

 

[The Dark Defender]

Spoiler

That's absolutely wrong. He did love her, even while she was "dying" if she did die, he was trying to comfort her, but she didn't really understand exactly what he was trying to do, so he felt that he needed to test her to help her understand.
The point of SAW III was not at all that he doesn't love her. He meant it when he said that their fates were linked, he meant it when he said that she meant everything to him, but he wasn't willing to allow her to simply go around committing blatant murder with no chance for escape in the continuation of his work, and it broke his heart, hence the tears in his eyes as he was reaching out for her while she was on the floor bleeding. It was something that he felt he had to do, not something that he wanted to do.

M&C Movies say:

Hollywood`s horror hit, 'Saw III,' is keeping British emergency medical crews hopping with squeamish movie patrons being overwhelmed by its realistic gore.

Emergency medical technicians made three visits to Cineworld in Stevenage, Herts, Friday night. Two adults were treated at the scene for fainting and a 20-year-old woman had to be taken to the local hospital until she calmed down, the BBC reported Tuesday.

Another EMT crew was called to the theater in Peterborough, Cambs, to treat a 34-year-old man overwhelmed by the film`s content.

take that mpaa!t:

Yeah, wow! I know I was a bit freaked out during the really gory scenes, but I didn't have to be treated for anything because of it.

I didn't see any tears in his eyes, myself.

But my point is...

Spoiler

that's probably an accurate statement in terms of what Jigsaw was feeling. But I don't think for a second that the "emotional" Amanda would feel the same way about what he did, not at all.

Hell, if he actually showed her affection, maybe she never would've gone over the edge in the first place. But he's too detached and she's, as he said, "too emotional."

 

[The Dark Defender]

Spoiler

There were tears pouring down his face, and he did show her emotion, and Amanda reached out for him as she was passing out/dying, she still loves him. After finding out all the details and hearing exactly why he did what he did, I do think she understood.

All I want to know is,

Spoiler

What was in that damn envelope?!?!?! (Find out next Halloween )

 

[LEX]

So, I went and saw it yesterday afternoon and I liked it. Better than the second one, that's for sure. The gore was unmistakably superior to its predecessors. Shawnee Smith was fantastic. People complained about the excess amount of unnecessary gore. I don't agree, I didn't mind the gore at all. Nevertheless, the gore was so bad that several people had to walk out. Tobin Bell... what can I say, he still remains as one of the top most awesome masterminds in horror, thriller and crime, in my book. Fairly excellent movie. I agree with the majority, I can see no other way to continue this franchise other than making the next Saw a prequel.

 

[spiderfan08]

so basically this movie kicks ass. i saw it on halloween. it was everything i asked for. i didnt mind the gore at all. the plot was awesome. it drew me in and like usual..left me shocked. anyone who has seen the first 2..need to see this movie.

Why would it hurt people going to see Saw IV?

That's four months between theatrical release and DVD release. That's becoming more and more common lately...

I bet we see the inevitable "Unrated Cut" just in time for Saw IV.

 

[WorthyStevens]

I'm going to Walmart tonight to buy the soundtrack. I love the score to it so much [the music at the end of each movie].

I wish you could get just a score album... the first movie had that. But alas, Saw II and Saw III only have soundtracks with one track of score and a ton of tracks of metal.

the tape jigsaw covers in wax is part of a bigger game. the tape is the first game of the new jigsaw, which will have something big to do with john(current jigsaw) and the new jigsaw is not dr gordon. he has one frickin leg , too much hassle. the new jigsaw is either danny glovers character, detective matthews son(cant be too far fetched given theres no decided time limit betweensaw 2 and 3) or the is no new jigsaw, maybe johns illness isnt what he made it out to be as part of the new game on the tape.

Baseless speculation RETURNS!

However, I should note that Danny Glover is dead.

[tzarinna]

Is this a family film? WTF
When I walked in there was a lady with an infant. There were so many kids at my viewing and no one freaked out,wussy Brits.
This was the first time I've seen a Saw movie in a theater and that baby cried and cooed through it all.

I was squirming in my seat from the get go. I wasn't sure I was going to make it through and I did have to look away during that poor fellows twisting. But things weren't so recognizable.
Jigsaw knew how emotional Amanda was,a man playing with a woman's head is always dangerous. **** I want to be his apprentice. I too loved watching the progression of their relationship. I saw the tears when he was talking to Jeff,not before,I may have just missed it when he was giving Amanda the low down of his actions. I can't wait to find out what was in that envelope.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Okay funny thing imdb has two people listed as being in saw 4.

but don't take much into it. There know names and the saw movies really don't get well known names for there movies.

Jessica Alba and Goran Visnjic

So don't worry no need to complain cause it seems false and some people just goofing around.
