One of the greatest movies ever!
posted on 16 Aug 2009> A REVIEW BY STEPHEN PEARCEThis modern revamp of "DANGEROUS LIASIONS" may not be original but it is a truly great film.The story goes something like this.....Sebastian(RYAN PHILLIPPE)and Kathryn(SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR-HUBBA HUBBA) are two of Manhattans richest young people.This live in a posh apartment and use their money to get what they want and use sex as a means to an end.But one day things start to go wrong for both of them when Kathryn makes Sebastian an offer he cant refuse.If he can woo the virginal Annette Hargrove(RESSE WITHERSPOON) he can do with her what he likes..if he fails he must give her his jaguar sports car.But neither of them account for the fact that Sebastian has fallen for Annette and soon their little wager becomes a true battle for power.The reason why "CRUEL INTENTIONS" is a great film lies in the casting.Ryan Phillippe may not be John Malkovich but he is excellent as Sebastian while Resse Witherspoon adds a touch of class to the role of Annette Hargrove but both are eclipsed by Sarah Michelle Gellar who is sexy and utterly dangerous as Kathryn.So all in all "CRUEL INTENTIONS" is a great film that should be watched and if you dont think it is there is always Sarah Michelle Gellar to watch and enjoy!
Surprisingly good
posted on 12 Aug 2009I assume that when I sat down to watch this movie, I wasn't expecting much, but within the first 15 minutes I was already loving the whole thing. It is greatly due the outstanding teen cast, especially Sarah Michelle Gellar. They portrait extremely sarcastic, smart, appealing and non-usual teens in a wealthy and non-usual atmosphere as well. And the story keeps on hypnotizing you as you get captivated by the characters. One of the best movies of the 90's, I really recommend it.
The Side Of Buffy You Have Allways Wanted To See.
posted on 10 Aug 2009i dont have much to say about the movie except that if you like Sarah Michelle Gellar (and who doesn`t) then you should watch this movie. Sarah is perfection in the female form she uses what she has to get what she wants and it usually works to.she is lies and is decietful and backstabbing and two faced .and that is not the way we usually see her act is it boys and girls.i think that is why i like her in that role as much .all the way through the movie she is a tease and she knows it she knows how a guy thinks
and what he thinks with god help us guys if all women were like her but would that really be a bad thing decide for your self on that one.me personally i think it would be great to a certain extent...yours sincerely..the person that is allways on Sarah`s mind (i wish)Trachtenberg.
Lust, Sex and Darkly Comic Humor
posted on 04 Aug 2009I may be a bit biased, because I love Sarah Michelle Gellar, but this has to be one of the best films I have ever seen, it is definitely much better then last years O.T.T. Wild Things, and shouldn't even be compared to it. It is full with humor, very sexy scenes, great acting(Gellar, Phillippe, Witherspoon and Blair are all great), and a plot. It is based on the novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses, but works well in the modern day society.Most people know Gellar from Buffy, well prepared to be shocked. Her character is a rich bitch, who has all the sexy lines. She turns on her side, telling Phillippe "you can put it anywhere". So finally, it is a film for everyone, whether you like sex films, love stories, tragedies or comedies, this is for you. P.S.: It also has a great soundtrack featuring Blur, Fatboy Slim, Placebo, Counting Crows, The Verve, Skunk Anansie and Faithless.
Cruel Intention rocks, love it!
posted on 03 Aug 2009Cruel intention is one of the best movies i have ever seen, it's exciting, sexy and totally wonderful! It has it all. The actors and actresses are fantastic, and the storie and lines the same. I have nothing bad to say about it. Sebastian and Kathryn are a perfect team, loving to do bad things. Anette is the girl Sebastian falls in love with and it all ends exciting and emotional. Cecile is also a victime, because Kathryn wants to get revange at her boyfriend who dumped her and fell in love with Cecile. Buy it, i don't think that you will regret it!
Teeny Boppers at an extreme
posted on 31 Jul 2009I don't know if I'm the only one realizing the amount of teeny bopper films being released lately is alarming. The same actors are constantly being put in more films together, and essentially being recycled. Well, when I saw the trailer for this movie I instantly identified it as teeny bopper material, but it did seem to be a bit above that. After all, it was BASED on Dangerous Liaisons. So I paid my $7, and went and saw the movie. Hmmm. Time for me to be blunt: bad acting, bad cinematography-nice try, bad story line, and BAD ending. It was extremely unbelievable. So, my good deed for the day is to tell you all to keep away from this horrid film and all other teeny bopper movies for that matter.
The best movie I've seen!
posted on 30 Jul 2009This movie was great! Ryan Phillippe acted well, Sarah Michelle Gellar looked beautiful as always, Selma Blair was hysterical, Joshua Jackson, well, let's not talk about his character, but Reese Witherspoon was out of her league here. She is bad as the good girl, and she acted that role badly. I loved her in Pleasantville, and Freeway, but she was awful here. Ignore her and watch it!
The modern version of Dangerous Liaisons is fantastic!
posted on 17 Jul 2009CRUEL INTENTIONS (1999) Rating: 8/10Finally, a teen movie that everyone can enjoy! Cruel Intentions is a deliciously wicked and indulging remake of the 1988 Oscar-nominated Dangerous Liaisons that has a neat script written by Roger Kumble and heaps of fantastic scenes – two girls kissing is bound to get anyone off the rod and the evil character Kathryn can't get enough praise for the show-stealing evilness she has in almost every scene. Near the end the movie gets a little, well, wet, if you know what I mean, but the fantastic performances and great script stand out all the way through. The best performance comes from Sarah Michelle Gellar who deserved an Academy award nomination at the very least for such a believable betrayal of a sexy step-sister and amazing effort in a film that brings out her true excellent and ability. Ryan Phillipe is not as hammy as he was in 54, and is able to pull off a good performance. Hats off to the supporting characters, Joshua Jackson pulls in lotsa laughs with his funny performance as a gay guy, Selma Blair is fabulously funny as Cecile and Reese Witherspoon is a great romantic touch. Cruel Intentions is a movie I would recommend buying because you're bound to watch it again and again. It's cool to be cruel!
Dark, Twisted, Wonderful
posted on 13 Jul 2009Cruel Intentions is one of the best films I have seen in a long time. The dark storyline and devious characters are a big stretch from the fairy tale "teen love stories" that are so unrealistically portrayed in the media. I liked this movie for many reasons. (1) The story was unique. It wasn't just another stupid plotless movie aimed at teenagers. (2) The acting was magnificent. Sarah Michelle Gellar gave a powerful performance as an evil bitch (a big step from Buffy), Ryan Philippe was very good as the evil player with a heart, Reese Witherspoon was really believable as the innocent virgin, and Selma Blair was hilarious and stole every scene she was in. Although the movie can be sappy, unrealistic, and melodramatic at times, it was overall a wonderful masterpiece that everybody should see.
Oh No!!
posted on 13 Jul 2009I've never been a fan of Renaissance "comedies of manners" or whatever you call that darn genre that gave us movies such as Valmont and Danger- ous Liasons, so guess what I think about bringing 18th century manners and mores (that's like MORAY, dude) to turn of the century US of A, where they are even more overheated and hyperbolic than they were when they made some sense to the ruling classes of Europe. In short, this movie is beyond laughable; it is jaw-droppingly awful the first time around; and yes, I tried to watch it a second time to see if it would be a little better, knowing my own prejudices. Guess what? I kept inserting Crow T, Tom Servo, and me as Mike/Joel to help me accept what was unfolding before me very own eyes. Otherwise, I may have had to be institutionalized away from all forms of visual media so that I could survive. The above is an example of hyperbole by the way. This is only a very bad movie and will not make you go insane or hysterically blind. Enjoy.
Attractive Young Actors Play Too Grown-up Games With No Subtlety
posted on 11 Jul 2009"Cruel Intentions" seems more like the movie "Kids" moved uptown to the Upper East Side than like "Dangerous Liaisons," which is probably more a comment on changing mores than movies. Ryan Philippe is certainly more believable as a seducer than John Malkovich, but the girls are far stupider here than in the 18th or whatever century, or at least compared to Michelle Phillips. And, yes, he and real significant other Reese Witherspoon defy the usual movie truism that off-screen lovers make for on-screen lack of chemistry.But, whew, I 'm glad I don't have daughters. What happened to Girl Power? Sarah Gellar has Villain of the Year on the MTV Movie Awards wrapped up with this one; her cock teasing scenes drew howls from the few guys in the mostly teen girl crowd I saw the movie with. (But then they also howled at the homosexual scenes.) So why does this character degrade herself with stupid boys?The first-time writer/director Roger Kumble caved into the studio too much; he says they made him remove some of the nastiness to focus on the romance. But the romance here has the same problem it does with "Felicity," which at least does it sweetly, and "Dawson's Creek" which does it bluntly -- these kids seem to think that there's only kissing and then intercourse, nothing in between, no seduction, no romance, no foreplay. Nothing for teens between a bunt and a home run. So visually there's no difference between a virgin surgeon and a boyfriend.There's no shortage of movies where the ever so attractive bad boy is reformed by the love of a good woman (I was reminded how much sweeter and sexier the scenes were between Marlon Brando and Eva Marie Saint in "On the Waterfront"), but the reformation isn't as convincingly shown here, partly because the virgin gives in so easily.The director also gave into the studio's obsession with making MTV-attention span movies 90 minutes long so there's no time to develop relationships. So I am curious to see the deleted scenes on the DVD.The soundtrack is mediocre - big lack is Nick Lowe's "All Men are Liars." They definitely should have commissioned a theme-set a la "Dead Man Walking" on that subject or on manipulative seduction in general. (originally written 5/7/1999)
if you like thinkin' about sex, then this is your movie!
posted on 07 Jul 2009simply wonderful....what starts as a who can get laid first movie..to a tear filled ending......cruel intentions...is all that. reese and sarah give strong performances that will keep every guy's attention. If you like sex...then this is a clean version of it
Fantastic for all ages
posted on 02 Jul 2009I think many people would write this off as another teen flick in the midst of lots of mediocre ones. But Cruel Intentions is so wonderful; it is sexy, romantic, smart, and sassy. It may not be realistic, but it is a masterful teenaged interpretation of Les Liasons Dangereux. This movie really touched me, and I think it was well done and very entertaining.
can't resist ....it seduces you somehow
posted on 30 Jun 2009An excellent movie-great performance, impressive soundtrack,good screenplay and a marvellous direction. Something in this movie is sure to seduce you, it can be the play,or the cast or the music or the emotions or even the title.. so have a go..
Dangerous Liaisons Still Dangerous and Still Riveting
posted on 26 Jun 2009Amazon has already provided the plot so I won't rehash the details here. The surprise is in the actors. When actors will be measured against Faye Dunaway, John Malkovich and Michelle Pfeiffer they better be pretty damn good. To my great shock Sarah Michelle Geller, Reese Witherspoon, and Ryan Phillipe prove up to the task. They may not be quite as interesting as the more sophisticated cast of the older movie but they are very, very impressive. Sarah Michelle Geller. in particular, is a revelation. I would not have believed that she could play a role this nuanced, and this unlikable, with complete conviction. But she succeeds totally as the serpentine enitity who encourages the corruption in everyone around her.
Witherspoon is the "good girl" but she is smart and strong and eventually turns the tables on the Geller character with grim determination.
Phillipe is surprisingly effect as the upperclass preppie romeo/who is a completely repulsive character until he finds redemption by revealing himself in all his spiritual ugliness to the one he loves.
I think this movie was more interesting because I had seen the older film. I would strongly suggest getting both to heighten your enjoyment of each version of the story.
Parenthetically, Geller was exceptionally alluring in this project, a quality that I never saw in her other work.
A Favorite From My Teen Years
posted on 24 Jun 2009"Cruel Intentions" fascinated me as a teenager. It was the first time I saw such a sexualized yet still passionately romantic story with such moral ambiguity on film. It was also the first time I saw a story of redemption aimed at my age group, and found myself really sympathizing with Sebastian's character. And even then, I recognized that the soundtrack was fantastic.
However, now looking at this movie as an adult with vastly more film-watching experience, I can't help but think I gave the movie a bit more credit than it deserved. Stylistically it's still stunning, but the writing and acting wasn't as good as I remembered. Many of the scenes from the beginning, all the way to the middle, of the movie fall flat. The infamous Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blaire kissing scene really feels contrived and gratuitous, and a lot of it just doesn't feel like it flows naturally. For the most part, Selma Blaire gives a really weak performance, but that is likely as much a fault of the script as it is her acting.
At this point, in watching the movie, I was scared that I was about to realize that one of my favorite movies from my teen years, in reality, sucks. However, something happened about half way through. The writing caught its stride, the story blossomed and, driven by the beautiful soundtrack, the main character of Sebastian goes through huge character moments that really, really worked well. And the climax and ending scene of the movie simply couldn't be better. Is it as good as I remembered? Certainly not. But it also really is still a strong movie that had a bit of an unbalanced and weak beginning through middle. The second half of the movie and the soundtrack (which is literally the best use of music I've seen in a film) totally make up for that. It's no longer one of my favorites, but I'd still watch it again.
7/10
You can stick this anywhere - like IN THE TRASH!
posted on 23 Jun 2009If I had a flame thrower, and there were no legal consequences, I'd very happily devote my time burning every copy of this film ever made. I have 10 words that describe this film, but I won't mention any of them, because censorship won't allow it.Yes, it's THAT bad.Now watch, as every teeny-bopper girl in the US tries to copy their new role-model, played by Sarah Michelle Gellar. I felt like an idiot watching this movie. It was also the first and only movie I ever walked-out on.Yes, it's THAT bad.I'd get much pleasure spitting on the producer. It's a cheap, quick money investment for them. In the meantime, it's a slut tutorial for young people (hey - I'm only 18 myself). They'd be better-off watching a porno. At least in a porno, the acting is better.
Awsome
posted on 21 Aug 2009This movie is a must for young adults and teens. I loved it. The story is just great and you can't beat that ending, Gellar does a great job being the bad girl
