Sorry, this movie sucks

Must See Movie...

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The movie is actually a prequel to the original 1999 movie. Unsurprisingly given the quality of the movie it fails to keep any of the stars of the first part: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe or Reese Witherspoon. Instead we have a cast of no-names with Robin Dunne as Sebastian Valmont and Amy Adams as his stepsister Kathryn Merteuil.Despite not being a fan of the original I could not help but admire the tight script and underlying sexual tension, that made it work. The follow-up through some whim of the director decides to take the movie into a new direction, supplanting fairly cerebral dialogue and tense interactions with frat-boy humour, barf jokes and other such general nonsense, almost transforming it into a teen comedy.Somehow a story about wicked cruel games on emotions is supposed to grow on top of the humourless crap that makes the movies backbone. But as much as the actors cope with the comedy they fail to sell their roles as conniving, intellectual liars and cheaters. Dunne does a substantially better job, as he at least avoids being laughed at, but some scenes of Adams are appallingly cringe-worthy.Unfocused the movie is a total miss, which killed off any chance for a decent follow-up to the basic premise of the original.

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.

I watched this movie at 3'o clock in the morning, a time in the day where I am usually very open when it comes to movies. But still I think it wasn't good, this movie wasn't good at all. The reasons why are many.The acting isn't all that good, and time after time situations occurring in it reminded me of a poor 90's Chevy Chase comedy. I mean, come on, like the handcuff situation, and the poker situation amongst the servants... This movie was so obviously based very much on the first one, and thats OK. But if I hadn't seen the first one before seeing this, it would have sucked even worse. Like the ending, it came very suddenly, and I felt like I got no closure what so ever... Sebastian changed very suddenly, and this This movie seems like it was made solely to explain nr 1, and like no time or effort was used on making anything else good. The score is the same as in the first one, and it didn't feel like a movie at all...They should have handled the situations with more style and class, but they didn't, and therefore, this movie turned out bad...

What can I say about Cruel intentions 2? Well, I can say in all honesty, I will only watch this film again if I am fastened to a chair and have my eyes opened clockwork-orange-style.The film 'stars' Robin Dunne (No, I never heard of him either), whose awful impression of Ryan Phillipe made me cringe throughout. In a case of terrible casting, Dunne attempts (and fails) to carry off playing a handsome charismatic, charmer. Since the actor is not handsome, nor charismatic nor charming, the character is left wholly unbelievable. Amy Adams, (she was in an episode of buffy one time), tries to pick up where Sarah Michelle Gellar left off and bring scheming Katherine to life... However, Adams is not that good a an actress and her performance was flat and lacking in any real emotion, often she looked like she was reading cue cards just off camera. There were two good actors in the film however, Barry Flatman (Saw 2 & Saw 3) and Mimi Rogers (Mrs Kensington in Austion Powers), made very good and entertaining performances as the parents of Sebastian and Katherine and are the only reason why I rated the film as a 2, not a 1.The film itself is a poor version of the original, with such lows as carbon copy's of dialogue and mimicked scenes which lacked the originality of the previous film.I think that as a TV show, it might have worked, but if it had been recasted with people who could actually act in the main parts.
