Movie Reviews of Cruel Intentions 2
Movie Review: No wonder the original stars wanted no part of this!!!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
It was an attempt at a view of the characters before they became as corrupt, but there was a lack of character development. In addition, those portraying Katherine and Sebastian did not even look close to the original characters. The movie kept my interest, and was somewhat entertaining, but disappointing. I disagree with other reviewers about the "porn" content of this movie. There were many innuendos but little graphic nudity. If you saw the first movie, this film will interest you by somewhat explaining the character's motivations. However, unless it was given to me, I would not add it to my DVD library. This movie will make no sense if you have not seen the original Cruel Intentions. I recommend that viewers rent it, take it back, and call it a night.Movie Review: IT HAS SOME GOOD MOMENTS BUT DISSAPOINTS OVERALL
Summary: 2 Stars
I have to admit that I enjoyed the first half of this movie, knowing it was an excuse to look at some attractive actors doing totally unrealistic things (I was a MELROSE PLACE fan), but after awhile it started to get too superficial even for m y "forgiving" tastes. It unfortunately is worse than the first CRUAL INTENETIONS which we all know was never supposed to be an intellectual film either. What truly dissapointed me about this movie is the way it ends, but I would give away the whole "story"to explain my point. As in the earlier film, there were evil characters (or at least "soulless" ones) but watching the basic theme of "good triumphing over evil" was satisfying; I got no such satisfaction from CRUEL INTENETIONS 2.
Movie Review: Decent for a TV Show
Summary: 2 Stars
For being a scrapped TV show turned into a movie, it wasnt that bad, I know Ive seen worse!! My only problem with it was the lame jokes (plenty abound)and recycled plot lines and jokes ("this sure dosent taste like a iced tea", "Its from long island") Coming from the same team except for the actors, Who incedently arent that bad, its just the material they have to work with, I expected a little better. Some of it was interesting but overall not a very good prequel. And they show like 20 scenes in the preview that arent even in the movie, including those scenes might have made the movie more interesting and a little longer that 87 min.Movie Review: Hey, didn't I just see this???
Summary: 2 Stars
Three words: What the f*ck?I watched this movie with my friends in order, and when this one was put on I asked them "Haven't we just seen this"?
Riddle me this,why would anybody waste their time, money and limited acting skills on a crapulent sequel like this? Sebastian is pitiful, Kathryn needs prozac and pathetic who-the-f*ck who played the virgin were as rusty and staged as... actually, there's nothing to compare this cr*p to. rent the original. It rocks. The cast is famous. There's chemistery in it. Why anyone would remake it will remain a question on my mind for years.
Movie Review: I have a headache.
Summary: 1 Stars
Being a big fan of the original Cruel Intentions, I was quite curious when I'd heard there would be a prequel. I'd heard it was to explore Kathryn and Sebastian's early relationship, and was very much intrigued. I didn't think it was going to be quite as good as the first, but I thought it ought to be worth two hours time at any rate. In short, my time would have been better spent hitting myself repeatedly in the head with a brick. The original is an extremely well-written, beautifully acted adaptation of the classic novel and movie(s) "Dangerous Liasons"(If you haven't seen the film starring John Malkovich and Glenn Close, I highly reccomend it...and for those of you who like that sort of thing, Keanu Reeves is in it, too.). I've seen it several times, and have enjoyed it more with subsequent viewings. Its prequel is everything the original is not. Apart from being improperly titled (a prequel should not contain a "part 2"...Since it is supposed to occur before the first part) It is poorly acted and horribly written, playing on some of the more clever lines from the original and butchering them to fit some pointless re-hash (pre-hash?). The actor playing Sebastian Valmont, while not nearly as good as Ryan Phillippe, may have some potential, if he can get over his James Van Der Beek phase, but other than that, the movie is absolutely devoid of talent. The only amusing character in the film is it's equivalent of Cecile Caldwell, an amazingly vapid young woman named Sherrie, though she has none of the innocent charm of Selma Blair (the actress who played Cecile in the original). In fact, the amusement comes only from watching her bumble her way across the screen. The biggest shock came when the credits rolled, as I learned the writer/director of this absolute travesty of a film was Roger Kumble, the same man who did just a wonderful job on the original. It just goes to show what people will do for the right amount of money. Do yourself a favor, if you enjoyed the original, buy Cruel Intentions 2 if only to set it on fire. That's what I'm planning on doing.
