Saw 3, good or bad (in General)

Hi,

My lovely wife picked it up since she knows I loved Saw 1 and 2.

Anyone see Saw 3 yet, and without giving away the plot/spoilers, is it worth watching/getting excited about?

coworker showed some scenes while I was having lunch...

Someone in CB had a neardeath experience because of it...

You loved Saw 1? o_O

Who didn't?

how about giving more spoilers away about 24? =P

Anyways, i thought saw 3 was good, better than 2 IMO, but never better than original, just like any other series.

I really like Saw 1, and Saw 3 was pretty nice. IMO it's much better than the 2nd one. I can't really say why I don't like the 2nd one, it's just kinda weird.

Bebop and I used to have contests on how to describe Saw as awfully as we could. I have to confess I didn't mind watching it, but it is a terrible movie...plot holes, unrealistic (he can take a shotgun blast to the back and keep running?), and contrived. Sure, that's most movies these days, but just because 75% of stuff sucks doesn't mean I am going to give Saw a thumbs up. *smile*

Saw 1 was pretty plotless but then Saw 2 came out. Wow. That film was such a waste of my life I couldn't believe it. That was on par with The perfect storm and Open water. Haha.

Big fan of the series...if nothing else it is not a re-make :-P

I did really enjoy part 3, but I would have to say 1 was my favorite (Carey Elwes still rocks)...

But most of all I am so happy that there is another quote...unquote horror franchise...

Don't know about the rest of you but one more movie with CG animals or Eddy Murphie in a fat suit and I might do something drastic...

I'm just hoping '300' lives up to its trailer. ;)

Who watches horror movies for the plot? The saw movies were good for what they are. It was an original idea atleast and I like them just for that.

This is quite spooky - I've just watched the first one (well, finished it about 15 minutes ago). I was actually quite disappointed, it was OK but one of my coworkers had said it was brilliant. I thought it was just confused, but there were several good ideas in there so I'd give it 5/10 (as opposed to Final Destination which I would give 11, and FD2 which I would say merited an 8/10).
Haven't seen any of the others :-(

I'd say its good, though they shouldn't make a part 4...

And I'd actually wish that films were a little more realistic. Like someone standing up to the Stalker-slasher and braining him. Or a geek/roleplayer got into one of these situations and see thorugh the wafer thing plot instantly.

*Spoiler*

I've not seen Saw 2 (or is it three) but when told about one of the 'puzzles' I instantly solved it.

*End slight spoiler*

A friend and I had the idea to make a stalker-slasher flick (and that's all the film is marketed/hyped as) to have the Stalker subdued in the first 10-15 mins, and the flim to move on to something radically different.

That would be an unexpected twist.

Not like M. Night. Shamalams (Spelling?) twists that telegraph themselves so much they hit you from the other side of the room. ;)

Has anyone seen "The Inside Man"? Good enough film, but anyone watching that would go "Doh, all those Cops never played a roleplaying game in thier life... There's only one reason you dress all the hostages up in the same outfits the bank robbers are wearing..."

;)

For what it was, Saw was better. Saw II wasn't as good, because I preferred more one-on-one situations, Saw III was back to the basics and was better than II but not as good as 3. I think 4 will be the best one yet, and it is already in the works. Inside man was good, it had a few twists, not nearly as many as Clive Owens other movie Derailed.

i thought Inside man was really good,

******Spoiler Question******









but how can Saw come out with a 4th with the way 3 ended?


******End Spoiler******

{cb1}smallpau1 - I would have said the same for part 2...

Small spoiler.






Gnu, at the end of 2 you already know that at least 1 of them survived so it was obvious there was going to be a third.








End spoiler.





I actually enjoyed 1 the most and found 2 to be reasonable but didn't really enjoy 3. The first 2 are more projected as a psychological thriller but the gore brings in a bigger crowd, the only real twist in the third installment is towards the end, very disappointing.

Saw 3 seems more to me like a recap, and there won't be a Saw 4. I saw the end of Saw 3 coming a mile away.. not much of a twist. Also, a large part of the movie was footage from earlier in the movie or from the first two.. At one point there was a recap of something that happened 5 minutes earlier.

DT, actually a couple sites pointed out that the guy who plays Jigsaw, signed on for 5 sequels. So, i dont know if i read right, but there could be 3 more Saw movies according to that...
