I can remember how good the first Cruel Intentions movie was, so my attention was peaked when I discovered that there was a prequel made in 2000 to the first and then a third movie. Now I'm not sure what I was expecting, especially when I did not hear anything about the two other movies that came after that first one. Apparently they didn't have much of a promotion in the media; but whatever the case, usually, when you don't hear much about movies like that nothing good usually comes of them.
Well, I was right about the sequel and the last movie. In fact I didn't even finish watching them because I thought that they ruined the previous movie by making them. First of all, there was none of the original cast in both movies; and secondly, the movies were just...lacking something and I couldn't put my finger on it.
Cruel Intentions 2, made in 2000, focused on when Kathryn and Sebastian, the sociopathic brother and sister from the first movie meet and they maipulate and destroy their peers.
Cruel Intentions 3, made in 2004 however, has yet another completely different cast from even the prequel. In this one, the focus is on Kathryn's cousin who turns out to be just as vicious as her cousin when she, her high school and his roommate constantly scheme to outwit each other after the roommate and friend decide to seduce and dump young women on campus together.
I give this DVD a satisfactory because the prequel and Cruel Intentions 3 weren't as bad as some movies I've seen, but are much much more than a stone throw away from the goodness that was Cruel Intentions.
My advice is that if you liked Cruel Intentions don't buy this DVD. It will ruin the movie for you. Buy the Cruel Intentions DVD and forget about Cruel Intentions 2 and Cruel Intentions 3.
