(1 - 24) of 24 OFCS Rating: 35% Rotten Page   1   "'Saw III' comes packed with a cold-blooded vibe that doesn't let up. After three movies, Jigsaw's blades haven't dulled very much at all."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   A. J. Hakari 3.5/5 "Saw III may not be the scariest, or most successful horror film ever made, but if you're looking for your pound of fright fan flesh, you'll get a nice craven corpse-full with this shockingly sick flick."   DVD Verdict   Bill Gibron D- "If it's Halloween, it must be Saw. And if it's Saw, it must be God awful."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf C- "The extreme gore is gratuitous, and character development non-existent in a movie packed with the cookie-cutter visual design of the previous two films. Torturer, victim and audience become one."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "A movie of its moment even as it borrows from so many that have come before, Saw III conjures all manner of torments, displayed for you as they are for its virtuoso showman."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 1.5/4 "The third Saw in the franchise loses its edge."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth 3/4 "...if ever there was a movie that warranted a "not for the squeamish" advisory, this is certainly it."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 3/4 "Quite a nifty and superb thriller ... thought out with precision and executed with irresistible macabre flair."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman B- "Is it an enjoyable feel-bad film? I guess. Is 'enjoyable' even the right word?"   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1.5/4 "...getting dangerously close to turning the mangled bloody body business into tedious and tripe titillation...the Jigsaw chaotic chronicles have run its corrosive course"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng D "Extremely dull in every sense. Even the most devoted fan won't find much to enjoy in this grab-bag of tired cliches and inept tricks."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/5 "full review in Greek"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 3.5/4.0 "The makers... demonstrate a genuine integrity for their series by reigning the story back in to its original core elements... Fans of Saw will not be disappointed."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 3/5 "If you don't know by now what you're getting into when you see a movie from the Saw series, you deserve to be offended."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 2.5/4 "The emphasis on character is a welcome change, but the principle of diminishing returns still holds."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh D "Saw III is essentially a grim schoolyard game of 'would you rather...?' rendered in nasty vignettes."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer 2/4 "Peddles gruesomeness of a disgusting rather than frightening order."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 1/5 "Call this franchise 'Chicken Soup for the Soulless.'"   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 1/5 "Starts with an interesting premise but quickly squanders it on the usual barely-glimpsed bloodbaths."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves F "Face your fears. A lesson worthy of praise, if the film preaching them weren't so completely full of ****."   Projection Booth   Rob Humanick 3.5/5 "There's a reason that this series has exploded at the box office while other sequels wither on the vine -- and it's not just because of the perpetually rusty torture devices."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg 1/10 "Nihilistic, amoral, self-congratulatory wanking."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 2/4 "Witness the distortion of the series' original premise bastardized by those who believe they know better."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell Read review   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr.  (1 - 24) of 24 OFCS Rating: 35% Rotten Page   1
