This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

I sometimes wonder if the people who make good movies ever feel a pang of anger or disgust when they see somebody else doing a crappy direct-to-DVD sequel of their work. It's not like the original creators are responsible for the talentless mimics who superficially ape their creations. They most times probably don't have a choice and for poor efforts like Cruel Intentions 3 that only copy the idea and form but nothing specific from the first movie, I'm not even sure they get paid for it. But it takes time and energy to make any film and when those efforts produce something worthy, it can't be fun to see someone else do a half-assed job trying to piggy back off your labor and success.Cruel Intentions, itself a modern version of Dangerous Liasons, was the story of amoral and decadent young people playing games of sex and betrayal where Sarah Michelle Geller and Selma Blair made out with each other. By the time they bothered to crap out this thing, that plot was as worn out as a heavily used piece of carbon paper (how's that for a dated reference?) This movie is actually closer to a Star Trek mirror universe version of Beverly Hills 90210 where Dylan has been coated in sleaze, Steve is a psychotic rapist and Brenda…well, she's just an even bigger bitch.Set at an expensive private college that's more like a summer resort than any kind of school, the movie's main characters are Jason and Cassidy (Kerr Smith and Kristina Anapau). She's a jaded rich girl and he's the guy from more humble origins who wants to have sex with her. Jason and Cassidy sit around and talk about what horrible people they are, even though they never do anything bad enough to get themselves on the Jerry Springer show. They're eventually joined by Patrick (Nathan J. Wetheringon), who's supposed to be so evil and twisted he made Jason and Cassidy just look "naughty". Since they're neither all terrible or shocking, Patrick comes off like some aggravated fraternity reject.Those three, surrounded by a cluster of poorly written script fodder, engage in a string of contests where the goal is for somebody to have sex with somebody else. That's pretty much what most college students spend all their time doing anyway, so there's never much of a point to it. The plot plods along with the occasional scene that isn't outright horrible and then concludes with a double cross that only confuses who is actually the evil character in this bunch.Here's the bottom line on Cruel Intentions 3. A couple of bit part actresses take their tops off for a combined total of less than 45 seconds. They look nice but there is no other nudity here. The only violence is an implied rape that happens 99% off camera. The language never gets saltier than an infrequent F-bomb. The young cast all seems reasonably capable, but their roles are less than paper thin and there's never any reason to care if anyone lives or gets run over by a golf cart. And the film ends with a moral that being a screwed up bastard is fun and the only thing that matters is being an even more screwed up bastard than the next guy.If this had been trashier with more naked flesh, profanity and all around debauchery, it might have made a marginally decent flick. However, the substance of Cruel Intentions 3 is simply too tame to overcome the disinterested storytelling and sub-mediocre filmmaking on display here. There are no facepalm moments where it runs completely off the rails. There are also no moments where it gets anywhere close to being interesting. You shouldn't watch this but if you've got a friend who wants to see it for some silly reason, you don't need to run screaming out of the house to get away.

If you are an adult, don't watch it. You will consider this immoral, promiscuous and naughty. You're probably too hypocritical to admit you ever liked those things when you were younger.I think this movie is another great work from Cruel Intentions franchise but obviously the least deep and original. The acting is very good, the cast couldn't be hotter and I wasn't able to see any of the twists coming. Also it's very entertaining and it doesn't take hours to things happen.Give it a watch, the movie is entirely erotic and sexy. It will even remember your youth game called "Master and Slave" which you probably played with your cousins when parents were sleeping.

OK so it's not as good as the original. But no one can ever really expect that of a sequel. But at least it beats Manchester Prep by FAR.Although not as smooth and intelligent as the original, it has a couple of amazing plot twists and is truly evil at points - a guilty pleasure to watch. Not only that but at one point we find whats happened to Kathryn since the first one ;) Some of the characters are amazingly unrealistic, but whether thats a bad or a good thing you have to make your own mind up. Cassidy (Kristina Anapau) is deliciously cruel and manipulative almost up to par with her cousin. Brilliant teen trash. If you're much older probably not going to appeal and if you're much younger you're parents won't let you watch!

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!
