I saw Saw 3. (sounds funny to say that or even type "saw" two times in a row...)
Did I like it? Yes. It was decent. But, it feels like a rehash of Saw 1 and 2.
I liked Saw 3 for a few reasons -- yes, it was a very disgusting, yet enjoyable watch. The plot was fine, as usual....but again Saw 3, has "too much of the same" going on -- especially since again, Jigsaw's pretty much just about on his deathbed, again....
They probably could've combined some of the best elements of Saw 2 and 3 into one longer Saw 2 movie and had a better movie, basically.
Saw 3 ENDING Spoilers coming...
About time Jigsaw and Amanda died. Absolutely loved that ending.
I wonder if that Vengeance-filled guy, since everybody died around him, will become a serial killer like Jigsaw...or what? Who knows.....
Or if they decide to do a Saw 4, since something is left hanging, will he go and try to save his daughter???
We can assume she will probably die, since Jigsaw says she has a limited air supply. And Jigsaw is the only one who knows where she is, in some locked room....but, Jigsaw's dead now.
I still think the Saw movies are a little tamer than they could be. They present a violent trap or whatever and you know what's happening to the person, but you don't always get to see it. For example, near the end of Saw V:
The guy and the girl stick their hands into a machine with a sawblade that cuts splits their hand in half. The only time you see the extent of the damage done is for a friend second when you see that the guy's hand is split halfway tot he elbow with the pinky and ring finger on one side and the index, middle, and thumb of the other. You see it for just a second or two, then never again. The girl stumbles out of the room holding her bloody arm in such a way that you never see the damage.
The first movie did the same thing.
You see Cary Elwes cut his foot off, but you never really see it. I don't even remember if you see the stump, I think you just see the severed foot, and only for a moment. Then you see him hopping around but you never see the stump.
Oh yea and I guess adding something to the movies other than gore, like story and such, would be good, but I honestly never expected that from the series. Sure the first movie was fresh and original, but 2-5 were just for the gore. And yea, I've visited ogrish and the like too. Sometimes while eating.

And I think maybe Saw 6 heard your cry of wanting a little more story - as this Saw 6 feels more of a focus on the story than the traps. Sure, there's a good handful of traps - but it feels like the deaths and traps moved along quicker than before. Like previous Saw flicks, if you ain't followed ALL of the Saw movies, you're bound to be lost - as there is plenty of back-flashing of stuff we seen in past Saw flicks and again it's filling in some stuff with some stuff we ain't seen just thrown somewhere into the whole Saw timeline.
The file opens and ends pretty much w/ the most vicious traps in the films...
The Cut Your Own Flesh Trap as the opener; and the Corrosive Trap as the closer. It really doesn't get more disgusting than those.
Sure, the traps in Saw 6 are brutal (of course) - but they feel like they moved quicker than before. Some of them just didn't seem as vicious and as crazy as some of the stuff we've seen in Saw 3, 4, and 5. This time around, such traps like the...
Carousel Trap Filled With Guns, The Two Body Crushing Traps, and The Two Hangmen Trap just don't spew out the violence other traps from Saw 3, 4, and 5 have.
Saw 6 is the best Saw flick since Saw 2.
And as we all know and probably figured, Saw 1 is by far my favorite of the Saw flicks.
