Cruel Intentions / Cruel Intentions 2 Reviews
First is good, second is eh...
The first Cruel Intentions was such a good movie, Actors you actually hear of, & can relate to(kinda), Sarah M. Gellar, Ryan Phillipe, and Reese Witherspoon were good charactars... The second one is not all that great, for some reason the story seems to be identical to the first, As much as I like the first, I wanted something different for the second, The charactars also had the exact same names, but they are clearly different people, They should have gotten the same actors if they wanted that!!!!!!!! No wonder it was a straight to video release, no one wants to pay to see the same film twice, stick with the first one, and I just got the 3rd(hopefully its a DIFFERENT story), but if I hadnt seen the first, I might have liked the second, but the reason I didnt is because it was the same story with inferior actors/actresses playing the roles, so 4 1/2 stars for the first, 2 1/2 for the second, It averages out to 3 1/2 stars.
Resplendence
From the first time I watched the film Cruel Intentions, I was mesmerized. It instantly became one of my favorite movies of all time. With my heavy criticism, that is not an easy task to accomplish.
This take on Choderlos De Laclos' Dangerous Liaisons is superb and, in my opinion, much better than the others (Valmont, Dangerous Liaisons). The cast of familiar faces made the movie brilliantly luminous and attractive to the eye. The wonderful script helped you easily spot the cruelty in Kathryn, naiveness is Cecile, smartness in Annette, and manipulation in Sebastian. I recommend this movie to ever person who has a brain.
Now .. on the other hand, Cruel Intentions 2 was horrid. Why did they have to have a sequel?! The no-name actors were terrible, the script seemed to be a childish version of the first with watered down lines, and some of the lines were even repeated. For that matter, some scenes were basically repeated. For instance, the first begins in Dr. Greenbaum's (therapist) office. The second, in the principals. They both talk about basically the same things, and when Sebastian exits the room they both insult him using one word.
See what I mean? My five-star rating was given to Cruel Intentions (1); the good version; the best movie. I give a humongous zero to Cruel Intentions 2, and Manchester Prep (the t.v. show with the actors from the second movie..)

Ps: I only wrote a review to the two-dvd package because that was the only way to have it seen. ;]
