Rating: 1 stars
Summary: really really awful but depends on your definition of awful
Review: Cruel intentions 1 = good
Cruel intentions 2 = bad but not too bad
Cruel intentions 3 = soft porn

But if thats your thing, you might actually enjoy the movie. All the actors are unknowns, seems like a made-for-tv-movie and the direction is pretty bad.

This movie might be great to watch with your friends and have a good (silly) evening mocking the movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sex. Is. Power.
Review: Cruel Intentions 3 is one of the rare direct-to-video sequels that defies the formulaic franchise milking plot devices of other overly exploited series (i.e, the Skulls). The sharp dialogue matches the original film on every level and completely overshadows the mediocrity that was (and is) Cruel Intentions 2. The powerful (though somewhat cliche) theme is that sex is power. There are those who use it, those who abuse it, and those who crave it. Though at times overly risque, the film carries the positive message that abusing sex is self-desructive and at times fatal. Don't get me wrong, this fiml is no allegory for "sex is bad and if you have it you WILL die." It is far from it in fact, objectively chronicalling the downward spiral induced by the characters' juxtapositionally glamorous sexual lifestyles. Would I reccomend buying this film? Only if you are a fan of the series. For everyone else, it is worth a rental.

Summary: Builds Off the First, Ignores the Second, Add New Direction
Review: 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.

Summary: There's a third?
Review: First there was the Cruel Intentions with Sarah Michelle, Ryan, and Reese. Then came prequel Cruel Intentions 2 with two fairly unknown actors. Now there is Cruel Intentions 3. Cruel Intentions 3 is about Cassidy, Jason, and Parker. They love to play games with other people for their own amusement. There is more characters in this film and the sex is more intense. Shot in sunny California instead of New York, helps give the film its own 'feel'. It does a good job of trying to be original. The story is entertaining and definately much better than the second film. I think the reason why its more enjoyable is its a bit more glamerous. It seems to have had a bigger budget and also the people are gorgeous. The film though isn't as good as the first, but that shouldn't come as a suprise. If you enjoyed either Cruel Intentions (1) or Cruel Intentions 2, then I would definately give Cruel Intentions 3 a try.

Summary: Surprising. . .
Review: 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.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Big Suprise.
Review: 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!

Rating: 5 stars
