Segundas Intenções 3

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!

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, 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.

I'm not sure why but I was just curious where they were taking the story of Cruel Intentions. Now if you haven't seen the first Cruel Intentions, I highly recommend it. Cruel Intentions 3 had a very good plot that could have worked and been a worthy sequel, but the way they went at it was all wrong. I wasn't impressed with how unrealistic it was with all these incredibly gorgeous and naive people around, I wasn't even sure if they were in high school or college since some of the students were engaged. It was just weird and unrealistic to me or well explained.

Cassidy and Jason are the new Katherine and Sebastian sort of speak. They are very much in love with each other but have a hate relationship as well, they play with each other constantly. Jason goes as far as to involve his new friend Patrick to play Katherine. But their intentions go cruel when they compete for taken ladies and who can do it first. Then they go for Cassidy in the ultimate bet of all and see who is the ultimate smooth operator.

Cruel Intentions 3, at least to me, was also very predictable, for me the ending wasn't that big of a shock. But I do like the plot a little bit, like I said, it had very good potential. Just unfortunately, the actors ruined it for me, not to mention how it was made, it just could have been better. But if you wanna check it out, I wouldn't stop you, just because I think it's best you judge for yourself on this film, if you're a Dawson's Creek fan, I think you just might like it.

3/10

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
