Saw 3 vs Mission Impossible 3

Ok, so Saw 3 takes on Mission Impossible 3.

For the first time in a long time, MovieGuy went to the theatre and it was to see the family favourite, Saw 3. It was a rather interesting night at the movies, filled with the regular Saw fare: gore, gore, screaming and gore. (Highlights were the shotgun shell collar and the brain surgery... watch it... trust me) I can honestly say that I've enjoyed the Saw franchise. I thought the first one was a wonderful piece of moviemaking. No kidding. It was one of the few "horror" movies to come along in a long time that was both suspenseful and scary. I thought the second Saw movie was good, but not as good as the first. And now, with the third, its obvious that the only reason the "filmmakers" are continuing to make these movies is to see how much blood they can get on screen before making someone puke in the theatre. Now, in all honesty, the Saw movies are gross... but I saw (firsthand) people throwing up in and aisles from the Blair Witch Project. I'm not sure if I would want to see more Saw movies. But with the way this one ended, and with some crafty writing, and not giving anything away, the franchise could live on.

Saw 3 review: * * *

I watched M:I:3 (their sub-title... not mine) on dvd. I was a HUGE fan of the first MI movie, and a very big non-supporter of MI2. Granted, I love John Woo too, but MI2 was clicheed even for Woo. And now, there is a third one. JJ Abrams directed the third, and it ends up being a mish-mash of the other two MI movies. I give it two and a half stars for a couple reasons. The scene on the bridge was amazing and Ving Rhames is the man. Total waste of Laurence Fishburne and Philip Seymour Hoffman. And what the HELL is the girl from Felicity doing in a big screen movie with real actors??? It was compleely mediocre. I think I might have liked spending my time better watching trash like Stay Alive.
