Saw 3 (Extreme Edition)

Advantages: Amazing graphics, makes things stand out and realistic.
Disadvantages: Can't see much in some scenes. (Near Blackness)

...have seen all of the Saw movies up to date and i think they are pretty much all the same, but with different types of games played in each one. All the same i still think that seeing the film is a good experience. This film links back to the previous episodes and i think it would be best to watch the first two before seeing this one, even though there are some flashbacks. I don't want to ruin the film for you, so i won't be discussing any of the ...
...to mention is the gory scenes. Each game ends up with someone destroying themself, to save their life and most of the time, they think to do so too late. This blu-ray disc is the best way to get the most out of this film. The graphics are brilliant and the characters jump out of the screen. The twist towards the end of the movie may make you confused, so if you do buy or watch this movie I would pay close attention to what is going on throughout ... Read review

Advantages: Much blooood, cool sound effects and made so realistic
Disadvantages: Not for the weak ones...

...the main thing, in the saw 1 & 2, John only wants to play a game, and in this part, his daughter or whoever continues coz he is dieing in brain tumour. The movie ends with a shot of John's corpse lying on the bed. Through much blood, brutality and sick scenes this movie is going through. Much pain and even this is psychedelic, coz while watching this movie sometimes I was feeling something also in my leg or in my arm or in my back.... A very good ... Read review

Advantages: More gore
Disadvantages: Games weren't as well thought out as before

Read my reviews for Saw and Saw 2 if you want to know where we are in the series. We start of back in the bathroom with Eric Matthews chained to the pipe by his ankle, a la Saw. Leaving him alone for a wee while as he's not really central to the plot... A guy finds himself in a box, raised up on a forklift... when he gets out of the box he has to attempt to forgive those who a) didn't save his son b) didn't jail his son's killer for long enough ...
...is signed up to do Saw 4. He makes a much better effort of this than he did first time round, where he had to combine writing and directing which rarely works! The cast again features Tobin Bell as Jigsaw, Shawnee Smith as Amanda, Donnie Wahlberg as Eric but also introduces a couple of new characters in Scotsman Angus Macfadyen as Jeff (the guy in the box) and Iranian Bahar Soomekh, as his wife Lynn. The two newbies do a great job of showing their ... Read review

Advantages: Great Psychological horror movie
Disadvantages: Could make you have nightmares!

...you have not heard of Saw but love extreme horror movies then I can recommend this edition. There is a new apprentice, the psychological games take the characters to the edge, will they survive or not? They will be made to make life or death decisions. Sometimes for themselves & sometimes for others. There are some really great special effects throughout . Be warned - Not for the faint hearted. I have seen all three films and advise you that it ...

Advantages: relatively low budget straight forward flick
Disadvantages: being rinsed out somewhat

...Okay I have been following the SAW series from the beginning, and it is starting to falter just like many sequels (scream, terminator, batman) to name a few, here we catch up with Jigsaw who is now ill (or is he) so he gets help, his helper takes on his mantle and carries out his dirty deeds with mechanical effectiveness. Anyone who sinned in the past were prime targets, but now the stakes are upped when seemingly innocent targets are pulled into the game and given choices in relation to their emotional temperament. (Basically playing mind games), this third installment carries off from where 2 left off, as jig is meticulous, you should know what that means. In retrospect it is not as revealing as the first two installments, which is the only let down.... Read review

Advantages: Soo much gore!
Disadvantages: Confusing ending (for me anyway lol)

...This film does not dissapoint at all! Even more gory than the first two which you would think is not possible but believe me it is! I love gory films but even this made me cringe and turn away at some points! The film is again based around the dying 'Jigsaw' and his sidekick Amanda who play yet more distubing games with people who need to learn a valuable lesson in life. This time the games are bigger and much more disturbing! There is a great twist at the end which i didnt think was very predictble at all! It all seems to end a bit quick though and i was left a bit confused and had too sit and think about it for a while afterwards and it seems like there needs to be a Saw 4 to finish it off! But overall i loved this film better than the first two!... Read review
