User Review

After watching the second part, which basically left me with mixed feelings, I immediately wanted to watch the third. I didn't expect much from the film; I just wanted to spend a couple of hours of my precious time in front of the TV.

Before describing my impressions of this film, I want to philosophize a little with the readers of this review. Let's answer the main question: “Why do we all love Saw so much?” Well, probably because it has a truly original and very intriguing plot, a rather interesting filming style, and a very interesting and confusing story of the main characters. We can also add the brilliant Tobin Bell, who simply brilliantly plays the lead role in this creation.

It is worth acknowledging that the third part is deprived of almost all of these advantages. It categorically lacks the entire “gimmick” of this franchise, which characterizes Saw as something more than just a simple youth horror film of the early 2000s. So what, in fact, is the third film? An absolutely primitive spectacle, replete with a pile of corpses and severed limbs. The film has too many explicit scenes that instantly trigger the gag reflex. You know, it feels as if the creator of this drudgery is some kind of psychopathic killer who, having watched the successful first two parts, puts forward his “brainchild” as a kind of confession of a failed hero from his true self. Really, what was the point of all this? Hell knows.

Yes, you can talk endlessly about the plot of this film, but that won't change the essence of it. The plot of the film turned out to be so stupid and absurd that you are simply amazed at what you see on the screen. Yes, there are plenty of frankly absurd and unnecessary moments in the film. There's the dumbest main character, who can't control his pent-up anger and who you don't feel sorry for at the end of the film, and there's the very ambiguous “assistant” to the main character, who behaves extremely inappropriately, and simply disgusting scenes of torture, which I have already mentioned. The film is full of such absurd moments. Just look at the ridiculous final showdown, which provoked nothing but hysterical laughter. The only thing that pleased me was the fact that the main character still plays brilliantly. But alas, this is not enough to praise and admire the film as a whole, it's too little!

So it turns out that the third installment of the legendary psychological thriller, alas, has failed. Like the previous film, the picture is too unrealistic, ill-conceived, and at times even a little absurd. But while the previous film was saved by its simply delightful ending, this film is saved by practically nothing. Saw III has lost all the appeal that the previous two films had! Yes, the film is interesting and quite high quality, but it cannot be compared to the previous parts of this legendary film series. This is no longer the Saw that it used to be. It lacks the zest that was present in the first two parts. And I am very sorry that the creator of a very high-quality sequel has made such a banal and rather weak third installment of this story.
