The Good:
I found parts of this installment of the "Saw" franchise to more tolerable than the other 2, the main reason being that it only focused on two people in "traps" and actually attempted some character development on the villians.
I have a soft spot for Shawnee Smith, she's not a great actress, she's not the most beautiful woman in Hollywood, but I like her for some reason.
It had a few real thriller moments.
The Bad:
Anyone who has seen the other "Saw" movies won't be surprised by the traps or plot devices used in this film.
This film looks exactly like the other 2 in feel and ambience.
Some things that happen are near impossible to believe.
There are a few moments that are meant to be neat surprises that fall terribly short.
Overall: If you liked Saw or Saw II, then you'll like this installment... I haven't been impressed by any so far, but if I had to pick one, I liked Saw II best.

I have a soft spot for Shawnee as well - which is the only reason I eventually see the Saw films. I just can't find anything else about them that makes me give a crap. It's a shame - I really want her to do something GOOD for a change.
OK B-Rian. I would have to say that I agree with the mass of what you are saying. BUT............ you forgot to even mention that the whole reason for SAW III is that it brings all the lost point in I an II together! For instance, at the end of III it actually goes back to the end of II. It may not have been the best of the trilogy but it was the most explanitory of them!!!!
