Summary: Good DVD
Review: This was a funny movie I saw, it twice in theatres....The features are good, well this is worth watching Cameron Diaz and the others, did a good job making this.. It is worth buying or go rent it..........

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Movie of the Century!!!
Review: Acting, plot, and script were absolutely superb. Better than Basic Instinct or Saving Private Ryan. Should have won dozens of Oscars. A must own for everyone.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Oh yeaaaaaaah
Review: ...Charlie's Angels ultimately has everything.It may lose it's appeal a bit on video as the spectacle of the cinema has been taken away from it(except for those with widescreen TVs)but this depends on your perspective.The story doesn't make an awful lot of sense ,but the events that conspire around it are as brain restingly fun as they come.Out of the stunning trio of girls,all are stunning,but Cameron Diaz is easily the most alluring of all.Blonde,kinky and apparently able to do more than James Bond,she wins my FHM vote with this one.She is simply amazing.Bill Murray,a talented comic performer,does get a pretty low key performance here ,but though good,his method of comedy may be kind of dated to a younger audience ,so this isn't so bad.Barrymore is the sassiest of the lot,especially in a scene where she breaks free from a chair she is tied to.It's also nice to see Sam Rockwell again after his haunting performance in The Green Mile.The movie is also full of explosive action,which is the main name of the game,and it delivers above the required standard...I look forward to McG's next feature.Make it another action one.Oh,and may I also strongly recommend the CD of the movie,featuring entrancing tracks from Leo Sayer and Aerosmith.

Summary: Fun, fun, fun!
Review: As I had heard that Charlie's Angels was dumb fun, I went in expecting less than I got. Charlie's Angels is action-packed comedy, with a woman's edge.

This film was witty, fun, and full of action that any woman will appreciate. For once, women are the ones doing the rescuing!

Barrymore is uproarious, Liu is devilishy commanding, and Diaz is silly.

Don't expect a serious film, and you won't be disappointed. I loved the slow-motion hair-tossing scenes. It has to be the funnest movie I have seen since American Pie, or There's Something About Mary.

This is a great film for girls of all ages--- and guys like it too, because of the action!

Summary: Fun!!!
Review: Like others, I watched Charlie's Angels not really expecting much. (I was never a fan of the TV show.) I was pleasantly surprised. Charlie's Angels is a fun movie! Don't watch this expecting something intelligent or sophisticated and you won't be disappointed. It's all about fun and there's plenty of it. Lots of action, too. And even a little romance.

The reason why the fighting style resembles The Matrix is because the same man choreographed the fighting. Naturally, if you have the same man putting the fight scenes together for you, they're going to have a similar look to them. From what I understand, he's used this same fighting style in many movies in his native country. (China, I believe.)

After watching Charlie's Angels one time, I bought it on DVD. It has a lot of great extras, which I love.

Rent Charlie's Angels tonight and judge for yourself. Who knows? You may just enjoy it. :)

Summary: a wild ride of girl power
Review: charlie's angels had my attention the whole time. action sequences set up like the matrix were amazing. the music to each scene was perfect. not only were drew cameron and lucy perfect for the parts of the angels, bill murray portrayed bosley wonderfully. this movie didn't take itself to seriously and that is what makes it so great. there was a lot of comedy in this movie. this is just a great mixture of laughter and action. it is one of my favorite movies of 2000.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A Poorly-done Copy
Review: I watched this movie with pretty much middle-of-the-road expectations. I didn't think it would really be a good movie, but I like action movies, so I didn't think it would be too bad. But really, it was worse than I imagined it could have been.

To start with, nearly every single thing done in the movie is ripped straight out of from some other movie, from Mission: Impossible to The Matrix. I understand that some ideas are good enough to be reused, but when the whole movie revolves around these, that's not a good sign.

Secondly, the combat scenes were horrible. Apparently whoever choreographed these scenes failed high school physics, as the trio seem to always be supported by wires. Maybe someone should have told him this wasn't a fantasy movie and therefore don't have a special force to keep them in the air for even half as long as they were there.

Finally, (and this is the really sad part) the best written and acted character was Alex's (Lucy Liu's) boyfriend. Yep, the one played by Matt LeBlanc. And I will admit that Tom Green's role of Chad was quite fun...in fact, it was quite possibly the most entertaining part of the movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Movie Sent From Heaven
Review: I received this disc less than twenty four hours ago, I've already watched it three times, and it is now without doubt my number one treasure in a reasonably extensive and eclectic DVD collection. 'Charlie's Angels' rocks! It's sexy, fun, stylish, it looks amazing, it has a screenplay which - okay, so we're not talking 'Traffic' here but for my money the script is at least as good as (and a great deal more enjoyable than) Robert Towne's recent M:I-2 outing - and, as a package, 'Angels' sums up why I love the movies. It is pure magic from start to finish. Don't dare pass this slice of heaven up or your inner child may never forgive you.

Drew, Cameron, Lucy, McG...when can we expect a sequel?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Heavenly fun
Review: Action adventure has probably never been this much fun. This comedy sendup of the 1970's TV series has a plot as flimsy as Cameron Diaz's outfits, but who cares! It gives us inane comedy interwoven with serious action, making it wonderfully mindless entertainment.

From a technical standpoint, the film is first rate. First time feature director Joseph McGinty Mitchell (McG) who has won numerous awards for music and commercial videos seems unfazed by this gargantuan project ($92 million budget). Though the film is done in a hodgepodge of styles (a hallmark of video directors), each is extremely well done, using locations, color and sets imaginatively and effectively. The pace, like McG himself, is like a frenetic roller coaster ride and the humor generally works.

Probably the most impressive elements of the film are the fighting scenes. Diaz, Barrymore and Liu all trained tirelessly on the wire to produce fabulously athletic fighting scenes that look authentic. The editing of these scenes is outstanding and when you see them, it seems that Cameron Diaz really can jump eight feet in the air, travel ten yards and kick her foe in the face three times! There is an excellent behind-the-scenes feature on the DVD that shows how this was done. This is only one of the many special features on this loaded DVD. In addition, the DTS sound on the DVD is outstanding and explosive.

The acting; well there is not a lot of serious acting going on here. It is all very tongue in cheek and all three angels handle their roles with an excellent combination of sarcastic humor and sexiness. Bill Murray is great as the twenty-first century Bosley. Kelly Lynch is also delectably evil as Vivian rendering some good fight scenes herself.

This film is a real crowd pleaser. I rated it an 8/10. It has terrific production values, great action, amusing humor and a killer cast. With all this, who needs a story?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: 70s Retro HEAVEN!
Review: OK, so this new take on "Charlie's Angels" takes place in the present and not back in the 70s. It still contains enough kitchy disco-era TV conventions to make any 30-to-40-something person howl. And trust me, I was really skeptical at first. I'd never been a fan "Charlie's Angels" when I was in high school (during the TV show's heyday), so when my partner suggested we rent the DVD, I was a bit leary. I tend to favor more serious, arty films. But I'll be honest: I had a ball watching this movie! Like many of the other reviewers, I was pleasantly surprised. I'm sure "Charlie's Angels'" success at the box office was helped considerably by good word-of-mouth. I think all but the most cynical and jaded movie viewers would enjoy this movie.
