Summary: Very Nice
Review: This movie is for those who have been into the same situation as the story itself.It gives insights into the realities about love and betrayal.It is about self-esteem, and how to manage oneself in complicated relationship. It brings funny feelings and turns to humour of what most would spend months of regrets and ponder.My point is, this movie relieves feelings of lose and regrets because of the exposed intricacies and stratagem used by the characters in this movie.It's narcistic, funny and cruel but very sweet too.Most of all, it brings forth the message that before we can love others, we must first learn to love ourself.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Please don't buy this movie
Review: I really liked the first Cruel Intentions, it wasn't the smartest movie but it was entertaining. This movie was just disgusting. I say that not because of the random and gross sex scenes, but because seeing this movie just destroys every character in Cruel Intentions. Cruel Intention 2 gives you backround information which ruins both the original and number 2. And the insane ending of this movie cancels out even the tiny ok parts. Even if you love cruel intentions and your just curious please don't see this movie you will regret it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: THIS REALLY IS A GREAT MOVIE!!! HOEST JUST READ MY REIVEW
Review: I just saw this movie the next night after I saw the original one. Now I was not expecting it to be on the same caliber as the first but it really was good. True like other reviews said, Amy Adams who plays Katharine is not very attractive but she handles the part ok. Also you really are not watching part 2 of this film. What you are really watching is how part one really started. How Sebastian became part of the family. And you learn where he got his diary also and why he uses it for his said purposes. I loved the first one alot, and to be honest I liked this one to. Now true this went straight to video but then again considering the budget that is not a problem anyways. You also learn why Sebastian acts the way he does towards girls, and who he gets it from also, let me just say it does not run far from his real family. The other characters in the movie are great. Danielle who is the school virgin and the head masters daughter is really a great actress and performed beautifully. You really fall for her in this movie. But that's all I am going to say about her for I do not want to ruin the end of this move. Yes as other people have said they do use some of the same lines from the first movie, But HELLO, remember this is suppose to be happening before the first movie. So those who gripe about that really do not understand this movie at all. This is without a doubt a good rental indeed. And for that matter its not a bad buy either depending on the price you can get. And for those guys wondering what they show as far as sexual scenes. Well that's a disappointment. The only thing is there is a shower scene with to girls who are cousins and they kiss for about 2 seconds other then that they just talk in the shower and you see them from the waist up. That is it for the nudity. And thank god this time we don't have to see Sebastian's but in this flick. The movie was well shot; the colors are very sharp and crisp. And the sound is excellent. This movie makes excellent use of the 5.1 Dolby digital soundtrack. There is so great use of the surrounds in this movie. Another issue with this movie is that for the amount of money that was spent on this movie you really would believe that it could have been in a theater. And also you have to talk about realism. In the first one every one you deal with has money and privilege, in the second you have a main character who does not have all that money and is not part of the "click" and that adds depth to the movie which you do not see in the first one. Also the second one here really is more believable also. The first one takes a little believing. And there are to many things in the first one that should have happened but did not. I mean look at the deleted scene on the first one. Sebastian should have hit Katherine but you don't see that in the real release but he does hit her in the deleted scene. And that makes sense after what she puts him through. Also remember she tells Ron that he hit her, and when you watch that you are thinking you did not see that. Also in the second one you learn much more about the characters. And Of course there is the Cecil character the second one, I for get her name but she is stupid and says retarded things, but they are much more believable then in the first one. Selma says things that no one her age would say in the first one so it loses it credibility. Now I am not saying that the second one is better than the first but believe me its not that far off. For example if you have scene a Broadway show, with the original cast and you like it, then you see the touring version, of course its not exactly the same but the over all feel is still good. I really hope every one give this movie a chance it's really not that bad at all. I was not bored at all, and actually sat through the whole thing with out pausing it at all. Also the one is much more wicked than the first one. People actually say what you think they are going to say also. Think of this part 2 as the behind the music of the first one where you really learn about the characters and why they are the way they are. And you also find out where and why everyone has money too. Over all this is worth a buy and a rental. (...) And I was really surprised at how good this movie was. So give it a chance. It's very good.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Worth checking out
Review: Okay people I know this movie don't live up to the first one but for good reason. It was made to be a series meaning lower budget and not a big time cast. If this movie had become the series it was intended to be I would have definately watched it. If you've seen the first one check this one out. It explains a few things from the first one and gives some background info.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: IT HAS SOME GOOD MOMENTS BUT DISSAPOINTS OVERALL
Review: I have to admit that I enjoyed the first half of this movie, knowing it was an excuse to look at some attractive actors doing totally unrealistic things (I was a MELROSE PLACE fan), but after awhile it started to get too superficial even for m y "forgiving" tastes. It unfortunately is worse than the first CRUAL INTENETIONS which we all know was never supposed to be an intellectual film either. What truly dissapointed me about this movie is the way it ends, but I would give away the whole "story"
to explain my point. As in the earlier film, there were evil characters (or at least "soulless" ones) but watching the basic theme of "good triumphing over evil" was satisfying; I got no such satisfaction from CRUEL INTENETIONS 2.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not Bad

Summary: The Stupidest Movie EVER
Review: This is by far the stupidest movie ever! I just rented that "poopie" of a film yesterday night and I thought it was an insult to the original. Besides the actors not being half as attractive (or tanned) as that of the Ryan Phillipe, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Reese Witherspoon, their acting was horrible. More than half the time this movie was trying to be exactly like the first. Exact quotes were derived for their booger of a twisted plot. At times I thought this was the porn version of the first one. What I like to call as U.S. (unnessary scenes: nudity, sex etc.) took up more than half of these actors' energy to wind up with an ending so uncalled for. I'd also like to mention that at the end of the movie, which I saw on DVD, I took the time to actually view the trailers. The one for the CRUEL INTENTIONS 2 showed many scenes that weren't in the movie. I think this might have been due to the fact that I read today in one of the reviews that there was suppose to be a series called MANCHESTER PREP or something and it was rejected, good! I just wanted to spare anyone who read this feeling like a (dumb ...) for even watching this movie.

Rating: 1 stars

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The movie is...
Review: Let me say this, Cruel Intenions 2 is really different from the first. The movie is about Kathryn (Amy Adams) and her step-brother Sebastian (Robin Dunne). They are two siblings who will go to far lengths to get what they want. Sabastian wants to get to know Danielle (Sarah Tompson),the daughter of Manchester Prep's Headmaster. Meanwhile, Kathryn is the new leader of the Manchester Tribunal. A group of popular kids that plan to get rid of the "losers" in the school. Wonder why you barely heard of this movie? It was a tv show that got cancelled. Then they made it into a prequal movie. A prequal that didn't even hit theaters. Unlike Cruel Intenions, Cruel Intenions 2 doesn't star Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillipe, or Reese Witherspoon. It also lacks a good script. The acting falls short and the style is more of a comedy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great movie, plain and simple. Entertaining.
Review: You know something, some people just read too much into these types of movies. If you're looking for a piece of art, move on. If you're looking for a movie that fits the title, and follows the same cynical plot as the first one, this is a great movie. It also has something the other one didn't- a bit of nudity. I'm not gonna pretend I'm some snobbish movie critic, I'm an average joe who likes movies, and this was a good one.
