Sexe intentions 3

Cruel Intentions (1999) was a masterpiece, one of those unexpected movies that comes along and truly blows you away. A modern adaptation of Les liaisons dangereuses it was spellbinding, but certainly a standalone film.

But Hollywood executives disagreed and decided to milk it with not one but two more films.

The second followed some of the same characters but recast and with a dreadful cashgrab story. This is a separate movie with nothing to do with the original material and is more a thriller with loosely similiar themes.

Starring Dawsons Creek/Final Destination star Kerr Smith it tells the story of two men who engage in bets that involve seducing and sleeping with women. Of course you have the female equivalent in there for good measure and plenty of twists and turns.

The twists however are very predictible and the "Turns" lack the intelligence or originality of the first movie.

Is this better than the second? Absolutely! But it's yet another cashgrab sequel that simply should never have been made.

The Good:

Has its moments

The Bad:

Not as clever as it thinks it is

Simply shouldn't exist

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

If I tried half the stuff in this film that they did I'd be arrested

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!

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!

This installment is so good when compared to CI2 it's immeasurable, with a healthy new cast of characters, and an all new location CI3 does the CI name proud. If I could offer advice to anyone it would be: CI and CI3 are great, but miss CI2.

This movie is based around Katherine's (SMG's character from CI) cousin in California and doesn't, like two, try to resurrect characters :D

Basically if you liked the original CI you do not want to miss this installment, the only criticism perhaps being a rushed start, but do not let that deter you. ;)

Hope you enjoy the film as much as I did!

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.
