Cruel Intentions 2 (2000)

Overrated

Absolutely Fantastic

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

When I saw this advertised on TV, I was a bit apprehensive. How could they possibly follow the first film after what happens at the end of the first, but I was willing to give it a go. After the first 10 minutes, I thought I was watching the wrong film and had to check to make sure. But no, it was the right one. I had to force myself to watch it the third time (I kept flicking over after 15 minutes of so) just to find out what they were trying to accomplish.Basically, the first film had me enthralled from the beginning. This film I ended up laughing during it. I actually thought it was a comedic parody.My personal opinion? Don't watch this, watch the first one again!

I watched this movie despite bad reviews written here, but I Enjoyed it. You wont regret watching this. For that, I recommend that firstly, you watch "Cruel Intentions 1" before this and secondly, keep in mind that its kind of a remake not proper sequel, the cast is different though.Acting is not as good as the seasoned artists delivered in first part, but for me it was o.k.Don.t keep it comparing with first part, just try to take it as a brand new film. The best part is the movie will make you laugh at several points. There are a good number of turns and twists in the story. I promise you wont be disappointed. Overall you can feel a nostalgic touch.Watching this movie is fun. I give it a good eight out of ten.

This review also contains a spoiler of the first movie -- so if you haven't seen either movie and want to but don't want the spoilers, please don't read this review!While this movie is supposed to be about Christian and Kathryn meeting for the first time, the movie is a poor copy of the first Cruel Intentions. The actors that they had portray Ryan Phillippe's Christian and Sarah Michelle Gellar's Kathryn are very poor substitutes indeed. Neither can pull off the smarmy, snooty rich-kid attitude that the original actors did. It's absolutely appalling that some of the dialog was verbatim -- not so much between Christian and Kathryn, but if you listen closely enough you'll recognize it. There are also inconsistencies in the plot - if this were truly the first meeting of Christian and Kathryn, then why is it that Christian fell in love with a girl at the end of the movie? He supposedly was supposed to be in love for the first time in the original movie (with Reese Witherspoon's character).Also, the tie-in with the photography/"You could be a model" comment at the end was totally lame and didn't add anything at all. Overall, this movie was a waste of time. I can't believe they made a Cruel Intentions 3.

There isn't one decent scene.Amy Adams gives one of the worst performances of all time. Proof that you a can start anywhere. The guy playing Sebastian sucks, too. He doesn't even look much like Ryan Phillipe. More like Joshua Jackson. The two other girls are terrible, as well. Then the dialogue is also crap.Sebastian (About to have threesome): If you cant beat them... Virgin Girl: Who says you can't beat 'em?Lame.The ending contradicts the entire plot of the original. In the first film, it is clearly stated that Kathryn and Sebastian never had sex. One of the reasons Sebastian wanted Kathryn so bad, aside from the fact that she's played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, was that she was "the only girl he couldn't have and it killed him". She was a tease who liked playing with him. The fact that she never gave it to him increased his wanting. Then in this P.O.S., it implies that he CAN have her, along with a girl on the side. What? And we don't even see the sex, either. It's implied, making it not only stupid, pointless, and contradictory, but worthless too.And in the first one, Kathryn rejects Sebastian because he fell in love, making him a loser. Even though he won the bet, that crumbled his chances. Then in this excrement, he looses AND falls in love. So she doesn't screw "losers", only complete losers? Another thing: it's stated that Sebastian has never been in love, so what do you call the thing with Virgin Girl?Then at the end, virgin girl is all of sudden revealed to be Kathryn's evil lesbian lover (dun dun dun) and, like I said, they go into a lame offscreen threesome. Stupid. There's several other plot contradictions. Did the writer even see the first film? A 5 year old can point his stuff out.After the threesome, Sebastian has sex with the blonde virgin, corrupting her innocent mind in the back of a limo while Kathryn and Virgin Girl Turned Evil Lesbian In Lame Sudden Plot Twist sit in the front, listen, and smile evilly into the camera. The end... Seeing Sebastian become the ass hole he was in the first one could have made an interesting film. I guess all it took to make little Sebastian bad was a threesome with two hot girls. Interesting.
