Movie Reviews of Cruel Intentions 3
Movie Review: Builds Off the First, Ignores the Second, Add New Direction
Summary: 3 Stars
First there was Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Choderlos De Laclos. Then there was Dangerous Liaisons in 1988. This was followed by Valmont in 1989. We then had Cruel Intentions in 1999 which moved the story to high school age. This was followed by a retelling in Cruel Intentions 2 that should just be ignored. Then there was the mega epic Les Liaisons Dangereuses in 2003 (more than 3 hours). Finally we have Cruel Intentions 3 (2004) that acts as a direct sequel to Cruel Intentions by adding a cousin and then sets the tale at a very bizarre college.
Cassidy is a cousin of the characters from the first movie. She and tease-object Jason like to play games. The games start quick and fast as it almost seems like everyone is out to do in someone else. There is no virginal target in this one. That has been replaced with a faithful target (but definitely not a virgin). Oddly, she is the target of a third character named Patrick. Eventually the games of Cassidy, Jason, and Patrick do become dangerous (as well as cruel).
Unlike the first movie, however, while Cassidy is quite a snob, there is none of the evil cultured grace of the first film. These characters could have been anybody from any background. While the added Patrick dimension added a little originality it failed to make up for the loss of the evil cultured grace. I just hope we won't be seeing number 4.
Movie Review: Problem

It did not come in a case, like all the other DVD's I order from Amazon, it it came in paper sleeve, which adds no protection a case has.
I would not recommend ordering from this person, for the above reasons.
Movie Review: Its just ....ok
Summary: 2 Stars
The first "Cruel Intentions" was highly underrated. There was a strong chemistry within the cast (obviously since Reese & Ryan married!) and the characters weren't one dimensional. Even evil Kathryn was capable of pain that Sarah Michelle Gellar managed to convey in brief moments which was perfect for that character. But Cassidy for CI3 falls way short of being three dimensional. She's just cruel for the whole film and showed no weakness. Everyone has a weakness. However, I will say that the character Patrick somewhat intrigued me. He went beyond the game of cruelty and ...well, I won't give away what happens, but I was very disturbed by it. As for Kerr, he was alright. Its not his fault his character was kind of dull. Anyway, the film is "ok". Its worth watching if you run into it on cable, but I wouldn't buy the movie.Movie Review: Soooooo bad !!!!!

Yesterday, i was in a DVD store when i ran into this. As i had enjoyed the first movie quite a lot (and despite the second one which was awful) i decided to buy Cruel Intentions 3. Back home, i sat on my coach and started to watch... After 5 minutes, i was already wondering why on earth i had spent money on such rubbish.
This movie has nothing in common with the first one or the second one. It's the story of Katherine Merteuil's cousin, Cassidy (which doesn't have the class of Katherine and dresses more like a hooker), and of a friend of hers, Jason (played by Kerr Smith, seen in Dawson's Creek). Bye bye the luxurious mansions and appartments in New York and the picnics in Central Park... The story is here set in California, under the palm trees. The characters are sticky, insipid and unclassy. The movie goes in every direction. There are no surprises at all, everything is clear from the beginning.
It's the very first time i'm so dissapointed by a DVD i buy (and i have quite a lot...).
Do NOT buy this ! It's worth nothing !!!!!
Movie Review: and the reason being...

you would think that after the success of the 1st, and the demise of the 2nd that no one would want to slap their names and work on this movie....but...anything to get one noticed i guess...even if that does mean on youre resume it will say STARRED IN CRUEL INTENTIONS 3...if you see the person opposite of you start chuckling and place his hand over his mouth, maybe you will realize that sleeping with the director to be on this movie really wasnt the smartest career choice you could have made...i havent seen it, nor do i want to...theres nothing anyone could to do improve on Rodger Kumble's, sarah michelle gellar, ryan phillippe and reese witherspoons amazing accomplishment...so why try...you're only going to fail and put your name to shame...not to mention totaly screw up any and all chances you have of being in another movie...tv show..commerical...ect...
