Movie Reviews of Cruel Intentions 3

Movie Review: Big Suprise.
Summary: 4 Stars

I like everyone else thought that the first Cruel Intentions was genius and that nothing could top it. When I saw the pathetic second installment, I just reminded myself that it was a shot down pilot for the spin-off TV show "Manchester Prep" which never made it to FOX television, surprisingly enough. So then, I was like, "Oh, that's why it sucked". What made it worse is that they actually had identical dialogue from the first movie. How creative. When I was picking out DVDs on Columbia House (no plug intended) I spotted Cruel Intentions 3. I was like "they made a 3???" I saw Kerr Smith on the front and I was like "Ok, Kerr, I trust that you won't let me down seeing that you were excellent on Dawson's Creek (not intended to be a plug for TBS either), so I bought the movie. WOW!! Was I surprised. This movie is almost more twisted than the first one. Kristina Anapau as Cassidy is even better than Sarah Michelle Gellar's Kathryn, which is one difficult task. As for Kerr Smith, this is a new side that I have never seen, but like. I don't think I've cracked up that much since the first one. Smith's character Jason is plainly diabolical, and I loved every minute of it. I strongly recommend this to anyone who loved the first one and wants to lifted from the ashes of the second one. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. Oh yea, Nathan J. Wetherington as Patrick is excellent also. Very suprised that the acting was above par. Way to go!

Movie Review: Surprising. . .
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this only because i loved the first one, hoping it wasn't as terrible as the second. After i watched it i was so impressed. First of all i loved that it really didn't have anything to do with the first, aside from Cassidy being Katherine's cousin,and sharing the same last name (there is only one reference to Katherine and Sebastian in the beginning). It is much better than having different actors playing old characters, which drags a movie down alot. I thought the story was great, with good twists.The whole cast is very attractive, which can't hurt either. The "bad" characters are all pretty likeable, aside from one, and all is well in the end. The best thing about this movie is the character Cassidy. I sarted out hating her, and ended up really liking her for her realness, and honesty she does not try to hide that she is a b*tch. This actress does a particularly good job, pulling off both loveable, and complete brat at the same time. I would definetly reccomend this movie.

Movie Review: a worthy sequel
Summary: 4 Stars

This movie was a worthy sequel to the original installment. They were clever, and didn't use different actors for the same charactesr, which almost always is a disaster (the exception, imo, would be Scarlet, the sequel to Gone With The Wind). Instead, they focused on Katherine's cousein, Cassidy, who's very worthy of being a successor, and her malevolent friend, Jason. The movie is charming, and has its own, different, plot. The ending is particularly good, because of the double-twist. The really interesting thing is that you're actually rooting for Cassidy and Jason to get together, and they do in a way.

The background music in this movie is normally good, and fits with the mood. However, it doesn't have something as awesome as Verge's Bitter Sweet Symphony.

If you liked this movie, I'd recommend reading Choderos de Laclos' book: it's a classic. I'd also recommend Marquis de Sade's _Juliette_.

Movie Review: It keeps up with what's expected...
Summary: 4 Stars

When compared to the second movie I would have to say that this one is better. The movie certainly brings the 'game' to a whole new level.

I do wish that the movie could have been a bit longer than about an hour and a half and there were a few places that were unfinished. But the full circle was enough for me to want another movie.

For those who do not know much about the Cruel Intentions movies, this is the story line order: Cruel Intentions 2, Cruel Intentions, then Cruel Intentions 3. I would recomend that you watch them in the original order but keep in mind that the second movie takes place before the first one and helps explain why some of the people act the way they do.
