The 3rd really is the best. I don't know what it is that makes it the best, but somehow to me I liked it to more than the first one. Of course seeing the first one the first time was amazing. It was new and refreshing. The 3rd is just the best in the series after one has re-watched the first one. I thought 2 was the worst.

The Saw series is not the worst thing ever, but it is repetitive. We are 6 movies in, and my understanding is that a deal has been made to take it to AT LEAST 8 installments. I think it's getting out of hand. I personally liked the 3rd film the best, and truly after that point it should have ceased.

The gore is what many complain about, but it doesn't bother me. We all know that no one in the film chopped off their own foot/arm or what have you. We know it's fake and some people can't get over it. I find it more troubling that the series actively tries to create loose ends so that the producers can shove another film out each year. Had any character from the first film still been alive, it wouldn't be so obvious that the story is artistically dead. I guarantee you that the original intention of the first film was not to carry on and on with no justifiable means of ending. The excessive flashbacks (particularly in VI) are nonsense used by monday morning quarterbacks trying to retroactively correct continuity errors—and for some bizarre reason fanboys call it a work of genius. SPOILERS... there is no way Hoffman was involved in Saw III because Jigsaw verbally blamed Amanda. I prefer the third film out of the bunch. It actually felt final because it used characters from the first and took them as far as they reasonably should be allowed.

I think the Saw movies are a good idea deep down inside but they just lost their way by taking themselves too seriously and being a slave to the gore factor. If you take away the gore and made them a little less serious and more self aware, I think you would have something a little bit more fun for Halloween viewing. It worked for The Abominable Dr. Phibes & Dr. Phibes Rises Again, which is basically what the Saw movies are a remake of.
