Just starting Saw 3....I gotta say, I completely misjudged this series. It is WAY cool!
I am not one for an abject gore-fest (as I had assumed) but this was far from it. Saw 1, especially. I had heard from everyone when it first came out that it was all about someone cutting off his foot. Um..yeah, it has that but they neglected to speak of the great story, camera work, flash forwards, backwards, etc. Finished Saw 2 last night and, while not QUITE as good, still drew me in with those elaborate traps. Ending, again, was one of those cool Twillight Zone twists. Off to Saw 3 I go. Already started and like the beginning. Harsh, but cool.
All thanks to TV as I posted before. Had I not been flipping channels, I would have never known. Now I see why they made three after the original. Even see traces of that "trap...judge what to do for yourself" mentality in The Dark Knight. Joker does the same thing. <==if you haven't seen THAT yet...two thumbs up! GO!
