Review: More dutifully depraved gore porn, minus the more intriguing twists of the first two flicks

Saw III

This review, posted by Brent Simon, basically discusses the fact that the franchise of this movie is ready to go, based on the fact that the third part of this blood bath manages to stur up some more guts, and thats about it. He also discusses the fact that this movie is doing the exact opposite that it set out to do.

'When we first met him, Jigsaw was a malevolent voyeur bent on "testing the fabric of human existence," as he put it in the first two movies. With Saw III, he's now devolved to the point where he's testing those who are "dead inside" and "a shell of [their] former self,"'

Overall, his opinion is a negative one, but maybe you guys disagree.

"The movie quickens one's pulse with maybe two of its torturous sequences, and the general grotesquerie and gonzo gore (Lynn performs a graphic, ad lib operation on Jigsaw to relieve the swelling of his brain, leading to some hot drill-on-skull action) will satisfy a suitable swath of devoted genre fans. Mostly, though, Saw III evinces the feel of a franchise ready to be put out of its misery — much like Jigsaw himself"
