Cruel Intentions 3 (2004)

Okay, I am not the biggest fan of the Cruel Intentions movies, in fact the only reason why I watched all 3 of them is because I really like the Dangerous Liaisons storyline and I want to see how they could possibly carry it on. The original Cruel Intentions film was basically a retelling of a story about sexual deviency, originally set with adults of the French Aristocracy, set in High School and the way they try to make this work...Its pretty clear why this isn't everyone's cup of tea. Not because its shocking, but because it doesn't work. The second one, I will give credit, actually entertained me but because that movie assaults its audience with so much stupidity that its hard not to laugh at it. Its damn near one of the funniest movie ever made.Now when it comes to this film, its the worst of the series.The plot of this movie is split up into thirds. As in, one plot will take up one third of this movie, its that confused as to what the Cruel Intentions should be. The first plot is a bet that Merteuil has with Jason that she can sleep with a nerd named Patrick and then some bland guy who is in touch with royalty but that goes belly side up because during the date with the English guy (I'm sorry, I don't know his name) Patrick comes over with flowers and proves to him that she had sex with him. Patrick then reveals to her that this was his doing the entire time and he and Patrick were in cahoots with each other the entire time, which leads to the one biggest question, what the hell did either of the two guys get out of it?So the guys then decide to compete with each other for sexual "points" as such. One of them has sex with a girl who is engaged and a girl who is happily with a boyfriend. This plot starts 20 minutes in and ends by the hour mark. The THIRD story is that because they both succeeded in their quest on the exact same night, they decide to make a bet that they can bed Merteuil. It turns out that Patrick is being played the entire time and he ends up going to prison for raping Merteuil.I will give the acting of this movie credit, it does try to pull something off but considering they needed to split up the character of Valmont into two people to show the two faces to his personality instead of just having the one actor, that should tell you what the writing is like. Oversimplified, even for a Cruel Intentions movie. There isn't any character at all in this that has any depth; Merteuil is evil, Jason is a player, as is Patrick. There, the main characters and the height of their depth, all described as a list.I will give it credit in one area that this was pulled off. Instead of High School, its set in College and that is one area where I have to give it credit for. It tries to update it to an older age while keeping the "look" of a Cruel Intentions cast. Does it work? Even here, no.Overall, there is a slightly variant degree as to why this one is worse than the first one but its like measuring the pain of being stabbed in the chest or being shot in the chest, either way, its gonna hurt. If your a fan and you are a completionist, go check it out but I'm not sure that you'll enjoy it but if the filmmakers of this didn't put any effort into making the movie, why should I in my review of said movie?

just what i said, AN INSULT! Why bother making this?It is just as bad as making a movie like the lion king 2...WHY RUIN A CLASSIC BY MAKING A SEQUEL IF IT DOESN'T STAY TRUE TO THE ORIGINAL WITH AN EQUVALENT PLOT or cast of ACTORS??? i don't think there is any explanation same goes for CI2 The actors did clearly and definitely not have as much talent as those from the original film...they also appeared less intelligent. It was less a psychological thriller, and more a poor teen movie. OK, to give it credit there were a few good scenes, the problem is that the quality has receded so much since the original it appears that they are wasting their time IT IS A SHAME THAT FILM PRODUCTION COMPANIES CAN RUIN A GOOD THING JUST FOR THE SAKE OF A FEW DOLLARS.

You've got to be kidding me.The 2nd one was atrocious. Hardly any sequel is better than the first (except maybe Beverly Hills Cop and a couple others). That blonde girl was so freaking annoying I wanted to jab a spear in my eye.The 3rd one isn't an Oscar winner but it's way more entertaining than #2. The 2nd may show more skin if that's what you're watching for ... but that's about all it has over the 3rd one (although they're essentially equal).None will ever compare with good IL' Reese in the first movie. Now she's stuck doing stupid movies that appeal only to those who wear bras. Thanks, Reese. (BOOOOOOO)

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!
