Summary: Two CRACKING movies....
Review: Cruel Intetions is just a brilliant film. It to me is perfect, a breath of fresh air into the common teen movie. The acting is excellent, the script, everything is amazing. The dvd is pretty good too. The deleted scenes are really good, and fun to see. And the documentaries are good too. A very good dvd package, and worthy of its special edition status.Cruel Intentions 2 as you may know was put together from a cancelled TV show, and is also a classic movie. But is completely different from the first. The prequel is much funnier than the original (wether that is the intentions is a completely different matter) But is fun to watch, and i really enjoy. The dvd is a disapojnment though, we see more deleted scenes ion the trailer they provide us with than on the dvd, because the trailer and bios is it! anyway, i am very happy with this set, it is a must buy.

Summary: Resplendence
Review: From the first time I watched the film Cruel Intentions, I was mesmerized. It instantly became one of my favorite movies of all time. With my heavy criticism, that is not an easy task to accomplish. This take on Choderlos De Laclos' Dangerous Liaisons is superb and, in my opinion, much better than the others (Valmont, Dangerous Liaisons). The cast of familiar faces made the movie brilliantly luminous and attractive to the eye. The wonderful script helped you easily spot the cruelty in Kathryn, naiveness is Cecile, smartness in Annette, and manipulation in Sebastian. I recommend this movie to ever person who has a brain. Now .. on the other hand, Cruel Intentions 2 was horrid. Why did they have to have a sequel?! The no-name actors were terrible, the script seemed to be a childish version of the first with watered down lines, and some of the lines were even repeated. For that matter, some scenes were basically repeated. For instance, the first begins in Dr. Greenbaum's (therapist) office. The second, in the principals. They both talk about basically the same things, and when Sebastian exits the room they both insult him using one word. See what I mean? My five-star rating was given to Cruel Intentions (1); the good version; the best movie. I give a humongous zero to Cruel Intentions 2, and Manchester Prep (the t.v. show with the actors from the second movie..) - S t e p h e n - Ps: I only wrote a review to the two-dvd package because that was the only way to have it seen. ;]

Summary: Cruel intentions
Review: I loved the first movie (big fan of Sarah Michelle Gellar). The rest of the cast was also great in their roles. The basic plot is that Sebastian and Catherin are step siblings and they have wanted to ahve sex but know they can't (family reasons), so they make a bet that if Sebatian can sleep with Annette (the headmaster's daughter) that he will sleep with Catherine, and if he can't sleep with Annette, Catherine will get his car. The movie takes off from there and it is a great film for a Friday/Saturday night! The second one, while great for a laugh (horrible acting, the actors do not even resemble the original cast) and it was cut from the series that they were going to make of the movie (Manchester Prep, never aired). I will give it five stars (not going to punish it because of the prequel)

Summary: Manuvering and Mundame...
Review: I suppose as a 'teen' movie, and in comparison to other teen movies, Cruel Intentions could be seen as a 4 star flick, especially when you consider the above average acting of it's a-list cast. Cruel Intentions, however didn't do anything except bore me. Obviously the actors cannot be blamed. The plot and direction (or lack thereof) is what seriously stunts this film. This is an R-rated movie. Why it was dumbed-down to the degree that it was baffles me. Cruel Intentions could have been far more vindictive, sexual, and ultimately more entertaining (and given the ending much more weight in any event), if the director had spun it in a more coherent way. Alas, this movie falls completely flat on it's face. I found it neither funny, romantic or engaging - or naughty enough to keep me interested. The only good swing in this movie is that in the end, both characters get what they deserve. There are a lot of things that could be made into a movie. Why this book was ever made into a movie I'll never know. - Louis

Summary: First is good, second is eh...
Review: The first Cruel Intentions was such a good movie, Actors you actually hear of, & can relate to(kinda), Sarah M. Gellar, Ryan Phillipe, and Reese Witherspoon were good charactars... The second one is not all that great, for some reason the story seems to be identical to the first, As much as I like the first, I wanted something different for the second, The charactars also had the exact same names, but they are clearly different people, They should have gotten the same actors if they wanted that!!!!!!!! No wonder it was a straight to video release, no one wants to pay to see the same film twice, stick with the first one, and I just got the 3rd(hopefully its a DIFFERENT story), but if I hadnt seen the first, I might have liked the second, but the reason I didnt is because it was the same story with inferior actors/actresses playing the roles, so 4 1/2 stars for the first, 2 1/2 for the second, It averages out to 3 1/2 stars.

Summary: Such a bad movie they made a second!
Review: The first movie was full of hammy and snobbish acting. Perhaps it was the point of the first movie to just be rude and awkward because the plot of this movie is that a boy bets his step sister that he can sleep with the new girl on campus. This is not an original plotline, but the added twist is that if the boy sleeps with this new girl, as part of the bet the step sister will give herself to her step-brother. Take that for what its worth. There was a good crop of rookie actors in the first movie, but then the second movie is not worth it at all. It was a B movie... which is why it went straight to video. If your a frustrated teen boy, you will love this movie for its sexual content. Otherwise, it is greatly overacted and over dramatic.

Summary: Superb
Review: This combo set is an excellent addition to any movie collection Cruel Intentions has some of the best acting I have seen in a long time, and on top of the great acting the movie itself has an interesting plotline with plenty of twists to keep you wondering what's going to happen next and a stunning climax as the movie draws to a close. I give this movie 5 stars. Cruel Intentions 2 is actually a prequel to Cruel Intentions, while not quite as good as the original this movie does setup and enhance your understanding of the main plots and characters in Cruel Intentions. As a stand alone.. I would give this movie 3 stars. So.. overall ill give the set a combined rating of 4 stars
