Sexe intentions 3

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!

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!

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!

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
