Advantages: great film Disadvantages: ryan phillippe and sarah michelle gellar didnt star in it
...heard that there was a Cruel Intentions 2, I just had to see it. As the first Cruel Intentions was brilliant I wondered what this one would be like so I went and rented it out. HERE IS A LITTLE ABOUT EACH CHARACTER Kathryn........ (Amy Adams) filthy rich who's obsessed wih seducing everyone and destroying people who dont look right. She's the sudent body president and the most popular girl in her school, she can have any boy she wants. Sebastian....... ... ...big part of the first cruel intentions, she leaves him a note telling him that he will now have something to write about. I wont tell you what happens after that but you should get this film out to see what happens in the end. Cruel Intentions was far better than this one but only for these reasons: 1. Ryan Phillippe, Joshua Jackson and Sarah Michelle Gellar where in it 2. The actors/actresses where a whole lot better and Sarah Michelle Gellar made ...

Advantages: so bad its funny Disadvantages: bad acting, script, direction, need I go on
...I sifted through I noticed Cruel Intentions 2. Now I knew it existed but hadn't heard much about so I thought I'd take a look. All I can say is I want 83 minutes of my life back now please! Cruel Intentions 2 started life as a televsion series called Manchester Prep. The show was based on the Cruel Intentions film. Now probably due to the fact that the show wasn't any good and that most US TV networks are quite reserved in their censorship rules, ... ...Roger Kumble- was it your cruel intention to completely ruin your mildly decent work on your debut film? If so you have succeeded with honours. I just hope you've done a better job with the Cameron Diaz/Thomas Jane film The Sweetest Thing due in 2002. If I could give this a zero reating I would believe me. ...

Advantages: it was watchable in a funny sort of way Disadvantages: The quality of acting didn't compare to the original, Repeated quotes from the first film
As "Cruel Intentions" is one of my favourite movies, on hearing about the second one I immediateley thought I must see this movie, although I did wonder how a sequel could be made after such a dramatic ending in the original film. I later found that the film was a prequel and so thought it would be interesting to see. *The Characters* Sebastian Valmont (Robin Dunne) - Sebastian has moved to New York to live with his father and his stepmother after ... ...forget his past and start afresh after falling in love with the head master's daughter Danielle but can Sebastian overcome his wicked ways after meeting his manipulative stepsister Kathryn who has dug deep to find out about his true past.

Advantages: Gives an insight Disadvantages: to alike
...as it is misleadingly called Cruel Intentions 2 and was brought out after Cruel Intentions. But Cruel Intentions is not a sequal it is a prequel.
THE ACTORS
SEBASTIAN - Robin Dunne (from Dawson's Creek)
He plays a charming an innocent character who you later learn is not so innocent. He has been kicked out of his last school and is being made to live with his father, Step mum and his step sister Kathryn.
KATHRYN - Amy Adams (From Drop Dead Gorgeous)
... ...to watch either of the Cruel Intention films when I am feeling evil. I will briefly outline the story as I don't want to give away to much as there is some nice twists in this film.
Sebastian has been kicked out of yet another private school. You get the impression that he is not quite what he seems when you see the very start of the film at his old school. When he swaps schools he has an unbleimshed record and very inpressive extra cirricular activitys.

Advantages: Language options on the DVD Disadvantages: Terrible film
My excuse: I was tricked into buying this by not looking at the box carefully enough and thinking it was the original '90s 'Cruel Intentions' not the prequel! Come on, I'm sure I wasn't the only one.
This film mimics the original in every way it can -although it claims to be a prequel - especially with the tone, actors and dialogue. It has a surprisingly good script in some places (for example Sebastian’s SAT vocabulary jibe), but I wouldn't actually ... ...the original film, or people learning languages, in which case you are spoilt for choice with the DVD. And God forbid you are a fan of the actor playing Sebastian (who was in a few episodes of Dawson's Creek)!
So, the languages: the soundtrack comes in the original English and a French dub, of which the sound quality is very clear, and there is a huge range of subtitle options including Hindi, Turkish, the Scandinavian languages, Arabic, and some ...

Advantages: nice film Disadvantages: not as good as first one
...one last night, this was Cruel Intentions 2.
THE PLOT
This film is set before the first Cruel Intentions. A young guy called Sebastian, who is played by Robin Dunne has to go and live with his father, stepmother and step sister Kathryn, who is played by Amy Adams. When he arrives he realizes that his stepmother is loaded and he is going to be living in her mansion and on top of that Kathryn and her stepmother are very stuck up and snobby.
Sebastian ... ...of you that have seen Cruel Intentions you will know that it can not be that simple, so when Kathryn starts playing games with Sebastian there are lots of twists and turns in the story line.
THE DISAPPOINTMENT
The main thing that disappointed me about this film was that none of the cast was the same as the first one, and although I think that Amy Adams did a fairly good job of carrying on the character that was created in the first film, I don't ...

Advantages: Reminds you how good the first one is Disadvantages: Everything
...big fan of the original Cruel Intentions I was glad to hear about a sequel. Then i started to think, how could you do a sequel? Then i heard it was a prequel...OK cool....with different actors playing Catherine and Sebastian...not so cool...and it will be straight to video....Oh Dear!
Still, despite my reservations (which were many) i though i'd give it a go. At least i can now tell everyone to never watch this film.
I thought something good might ... ...guy who did the first one. But no. He uses essentially the same plot, similar situations and at times even the same jokes...WORD FOR WORD!!!!!! This is just plain bad. It's as though it's a remake of his first attempt (which is a remake anyway!?!?!) only with far inferior actors, less budget and only a couple of years after he made the original...does this sound look a good plan? No.
It is quite rare for me to say that a film just shouldn't have ...

Advantages: It was similar to the frst Cruel Intentions Disadvantages: It has the same plot with worse actors
...I would reccommend the first Cruel Intentions as a replacement because they are the same movie with different actors. This movie just could not follow up to such a great movie as the fist Cruel Intentions. If you have not seen the first of the series, then you will probably enjoy this movie, but otherwise, you are in for a big dissappointment. ...
