I first saw it on DVD and it kept me guessing the whole time. Plus it came out in 1998, one of my favorite years since it was the beginning of my senior year of high school(1998-1999)

I wasn't impressed. It made no sense, and the twists weren't clever at all. I didn't hate it, because the performances were decent, and of course i hate to bring it up, but Denise Richards was smokin. Besides Denise being topless in it for at least a total of 10 minutes, then i didn't enjoy it.

i saw it when it came out in theaters i was only 14 seen it with a couple of my friends, unfortunately a few of us missed the pool scene cause we went outside around to the back to smoke a little something something, i only remember the movie because of the fact it had so many twists and turns, and i remember at the end when the credits started everyone in the theater started getting up and headed for the doors when more scenes started and they all rushed back to their seats lmao. but overall the movie was good considering it was 1998 and fight club hadnt been released yet!!!

What I thought was "If each character is actually acting the events then the story would be impossible". If you see the movie a second time knowing the twists you will see there are holes like in Swiss cheese. So I thought it was entertaining but not something special.

When I first saw it, I thought the plot twists were a pretty cool element. So I've always liked this movie because of that.

I saw it on TV, so never even knew about the boobies!

Total junk.

When I saw Wild Things (1998) for the first time, at the end it was good I like to sit with my back to space, with nobody behind me to be interrupted if I move around. I didn't make a sound, but I jumped to my feet, shaking both fists head high: ~Wow! Yeah! Double wow, that's a movie, that's how you do it!!~

I still like it.

It works for me because I accept Suzie Marie Toller as a tragic figure, like Clytemnestra greeting Agamemnon with a glad smile on his return from Troy because she has business with him over Iphigenia, and she's so eager to get to it her happiness is seductive. Her persuading him to walk on purple and come inside is like Suzie persuading Sam to drink up and then take his time cruising while the poison works.

Except this is a comedy, and the plan just works. It's like Achilles vs. a bunch of punks who've got it coming. And that's fine by me.

Later I liked the stuff with Suzy as Medea, granddaughter of Helios, the sun god, and the Sun Trust Bank and the boat, the Helios. That was later, after I looked it up. But straight away, at the end of the movie, I accepted the general sort of person Suzy was supposed to be, and she blew me away.

Well, it was kind of ruined for me because I read in a magazine "It's all Neve's fault" But then she got killed half way through the movie I was like WTF????. But then she came back and it all made sense.

OK, first twist (that rape accusation was made up) was fairly obvious and done before so I figured that one at once. But I was impressed with later ones.

Plus it has Neve Campbell in it so that's a big head start in my book anyway.

I thought it had alot of good twists. I thought Denise Richards was very sexy and perfect in this role. Ireally liked this movie and think that in 10 years or so it will be still remembered
