Eiskalte Engel 3

OK, i watched this movie yesterday hoping that it would be a better sequel then 'Manchester Prep' turned out to be. unfortunately i was horribly wrong, this film had little to no link with the original film other than Cassidy being Kathryn's cousin. unlike the first film, which i was a huge fan of, this one lacks any kind of storyline. the idea of a wager is thrown in for good measure but as an actual story it is a jumble and this film simply played on the sad male obsession with breasts and featured many sex scenes which offered nothing to the film. after the first film's excellent storyline and scheming this sequel falls way short. bad acting and badly written, much like 'Cruel Intentions 2' this one was a film full of copying though not as blatant as the copying in '2' it is still there. very poor film.

After the dismal performance of CI2 the makers decided to release a third instalment in the series, only that it is straight to video this time.

Nothing much has changed in terms of storyline; the students are still very horny and place huge bets on deflowering one another, only this time round there is a few more occasions involving backstabbings and slightly more twists than the original. The twists do work, however, and makes the movie actually watchable, despite its lack of attractive leads and well-concealed sex scenes.. anyway that's what most people watch it for right?

The cast are OK, only the dialogue doesn't seem so fresh anymore, with much of it saturated with talks on how important sex is etc. nonetheless it is still enjoyable, and worth 6/10.

Cruel Intentions 1...then 2....then came three! I was surprised that they released a sequel to Manchester prep, which I didn't enjoy much due to the fact that it was only in the END of the film that we get shocked, this movie shocked me at least 4 times, I guess because the plot caught me off guard (many times), but in this case the ending part wasn't as spontaneous as part II. At the first part of this film, you might get annoyed at the so called tackiness and predictability of the characters, it might even come across as boring, but when you get to the middle of it you might be shocked as the twist of their schemes goes further insane. However there are more nude scenes in this movie that could've been more subtle. Overall I give this film a B- for good entertainment and good delivery!

Seeing as how beloved the original Cruel Intentions was, the studios decided in making a follow up the year after (2000) then several years later made Cruel Intentions 3.

Now Cruel Intentions 3 doesn't have much connection to the original (although they slip in slight references to Sebastian and Kathryn), which is for the better. Perhaps had this film been a complete stand alone film with zero connection to the original, it would be more well received and more liked.

The acting isn't bad, and the characters are interesting enough. A good thing is they made the characters college aged as they all look well of age.

The main problem is this film feels much more like a teen soap opera sitcom where it becomes predictable. Slightly confusing and at times boring going from one scheme to another. The end twist (not so much a twist) played out how we'd expect.

OK so it's not as good as the original. But no one can ever really expect that of a sequel. But at least it beats Manchester Prep by FAR.

Although not as smooth and intelligent as the original, it has a couple of amazing plot twists and is truly evil at points - a guilty pleasure to watch. Not only that but at one point we find whats happened to Kathryn since the first one ;) Some of the characters are amazingly unrealistic, but whether thats a bad or a good thing you have to make your own mind up. Cassidy (Kristina Anapau) is deliciously cruel and manipulative almost up to par with her cousin.

Brilliant teen trash. If you're much older probably not going to appeal and if you're much younger you're parents won't let you watch!
