 :lol:

What the hell did they think they were going to see, kisses and cuddles like Care Bears the Movie?

Just saw it now, and yes there was one scene that was quite grim. I reckon if I hadn't seen the real-life equivalent of it, I would probably have felt a bit uncomfortable.

I am waiting for the Nanny State to pull the film.  :roll:

Definitely!
In fact I first heard about that fainting business on a South African radio broadcast this morning (I listen to the Highveld audiostream while I tinker with graphics etc).
And it was because of that news item that I made sure I saw the film today (before it gets a few extra cuts or maybe even pulled altogether).

Ja, I enjoyed it a lot, and I would have enjoyed it even more if I didn't have so much real-life gore experience.

But...there are crucial references to events that took place in Saw I and II, so you shouldn't make number III your first one.
Overall, the original Saw was the best, closely followed by this one. Number II wasn't so good because they made a very bad casting decision with the guy they tried to palm off as a force to be reckoned with, as an antagonist to the evil guy. (Yeah it sounds silly but I can't really describe how they made the casting mistake without giving away the plot).

My advice is to see the original Saw and then decide if you want to see the other two, with the knowledge that number II is going to be a minor let-down and number III is really meaty.

"...Details??? I can handle reading about this stuff, but I really cannot bare to watch it..."

You don't have to be bare mate, it's not that kind of movie  :-P

I can give you details in PM, cos otherwise it will be a plot spoiler. All I can say is that I saw the real deal being done in a hospital and the Saw scene was a reasonable reproduction.

@ Vinnie

Ja, it is the goriest of the lot. If you've seen I and II then you should see III.

@ Vinnie

Awww, it looks like they edited the one you saw  ;-)

@ Vinnie

No mate, I was joking. You are probably just strong-stomached, or we made unrealistic expectations with all the talk beforehand.
