Rating: Summary: Charlie's Ferrets Review: This is one of those movies where it's obvious that everyone involved in making it had fun doing so, but one wonders if they considered the enjoyment of the actual movie goers. The stunts, for example, I love a good action, but I really am frustrated when all the hyped stunts are overly edited and processed with all the pretentious slow-motion tricks and multi-angle camera movements. It actually ruins any potential viewing enjoyment. The more slow motion and rapid cuts there are, the less impressed I am. The music is also a lead character in this movie, because obviously the dialog is of no importance, otherwise they wouldn't drown out all the good jokes with the plodding music. Let's see though, there were a few good moments: Bernie Mac, John Cleese and Crispin Glover are in it. Crispin is such a cool and creepy 'baddy'. Demi, well, Demi is her usual gorgeous liposucked enhanced self. Oh and Diaz, Barrymore, and Liu are in it too. I suppose the best scene would be the fight at the cargo warehouse at the harbour between Seamus and his gang versus the Angels. Not that the scene really needed it, but the Prodigy song lands an additional punch to the already fiesty, dirty, brutal hand-to-hand brawl. Nice and gritty. As for the DVD: No deleted scenes even though some do appear briefly in the outtakes or the Making Of documentaries. The Full Throttle Jukebox is silly, especially since the director and his music supervisor's comments are, like, you know, totally, cool, like, ya know. Sure is fun to point out all the things wrong with this flick, aye? Now you probably wanna run out and buy it, right?
Rating: Summary: My Eyes Bled After Watching This Review: This was sickening and incredibly stupid. Hollywood has dumbed down today's movie audience if people actually thinks this is a good movie. I've seen heart surgeries more entertaining than this crud. I could set up a hamster and a rat and they could write and direct something better than this. This is a big waste of money. If you got roped into seeing this on DVD like I did come join me at the " Avoid Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle " support group. If you've never seen it, get away as fast as you can before this film makes you another one of these " pods " that believe this was a good film when it was pure s---. I don't know who could call this a film. It wasn't even a movie. This could have been done in five minutes. Diaz is a sweet woman but she cannot carry this film. Drew Barrymore was dead weight. Lucy Liu was unnoticable. At first I was upset there were no black chicks in it, but after I watched it I was damn happy there wasn't! It's bad enough Bernie Mac got so money hungry he agreed to be in this. I feel sorry for the world if all movies continue to be as idotic and as mind-draining as this. They could have at least had pretty women with some great bodies ( unlike these flat bones ) . The trailers tried to hype this film by saying the women were so good looking. Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu are shaped like men. I could accept that if the studio hadn't used their supposed great bodies to pull in this film. I could understand if they had actresses like J-Lo or Halle Berry that have curves. Who would you rather see in a thong? J-Lo or Lucy Liu? Case closed. I wouldn't have mentioned the looks thing but it was so pathetic that the studio knew this film sucked so they picked out the bikini picks for the trailers to get men's tongues wagging so they'd waste $8 on this mess. What has happened to true quality of films? Instead we see boney sticks and a tacky Drew Barrymore struggling over lines. Demi Moore wasn't even pretty anymore. She looked like the female Marilyn Manson. I'd rather have butt surgery than see this again. I'd rather have a migraine. At least after that's over I feel better. After watching this I felt worse. Utter garbage. Save yourself.
Rating: Summary: Why not as good as the first? Review: Sorry but Demi Moore cannot act... And the very fact she needed 100K's worth of plastic surgery to make her look "young" again is demeaning to women especially in this day and age where small children start to show signs of eating disorders. Apart from this gripe, which I could put aside as Demi Moore is only one women, but the plot is unsalvageable and only falls further downhill as the movie progesses. This movie may have made money, but not sense. At least in the first movie suspending disbelief was possible (and Sam Rockwell, a great actor, made an amazing villain, unlike Ms Moore and Justin Theroux- he was just too much), but in this one forget it. On a better note there are some good moments in the film notably when it's doing the comedy thing... maybe thats something to look out for if your forced to watch this movie! Also the leads are good and with a proper villian next time maybe this franchise could be good once again.
Rating: Summary: Outlandish Stunts and Bad Acting Review: I found myself saying "oh brother" more times than I think I ever have during a movie. James Bond movies carry unbelievable stunts, but at least those movies keep some sense of reality. This movie doesn't portray any sense of reality to absolute impossible stunts that could never happen. But it wasn't just the over the top stunts that stunk up this film. A combination of sudden magic when the girls would be in one place then all of a sudden somewhere else, then poof, they disappeared to another location. Bad acting and Demi Moore overshadowing the main stars, and forget about any story or plot. There isn't one. And by the way, what the hell was the point of Crispin Glover's role? What a stupid movie...Please don't make another sequel.
Rating: Summary: "Good morning Charlie!" Review: This action packed segqual to the First Charlie's Angels is going "Full Throtal" into a brand new movie. The Angels are back and better than ever! Along with a bad-girl Angel Demi Moore. These Angels will kick anybody's you-know-what if they have to. This movie is better than the first. More action, less laughs. They even show more skin(tasefully though) There is no actual in-your-face-nudity, just emplyed nudity. You will not be let down by these Heavenly Angels in this enstallment in The Angel series. An Angel from The show even makes a cameo(hint: Not Farrah, not Cheryle, not Kate, not Tonya, not Shelly, Hmmmmmm, who can it be? I wonder.....
Rating: Summary: JUST AS GOOD AS THE FIRST!!!!! Review: Loads of Extras Here!!! Well the girls are off fighting crime again!!! This time there is more action and excitement!!! I loved the 80s tunes they had playing throughout the movie!!! This movie is very funny! It had me laughing the whole way through it!!! Anyway you must see it!! I liked it!!!
Rating: Summary: oh... oh dear lord, no Review: After the first 5 minutes of this film, I heard a little voice in my head say "WHAT!? Thats it, I'm outta here" followed by some pitter-pattering of feet, and a slammed door. There is no way that I can express how bad this movie is, so I will quote critics. "Was this movie good? No, if you took all the bad stuff out, it wouldn't be 5 minutes long. Would I see it again? I'd rather have my arm cut off with a potato peeler" "about as subtle as a tap-dancing elephant" "this film represents, in a very real way, the death of American cinema" Avoid this movie like the plague!
Rating: Summary: too long and too much stupidity Review: Cameron Diaz(Charlies Angels), Lucy Liu(Charlies Angels) and Drew Barrymore(Charlies Angels) reprise their roles as the three lovable angels from the 2000 hit movie..but this one is plaing dumb, 1 in a half star for me..becuase theres some funny parts in this movie....and some cameos. cameos include, Olsen Twins(tv's Full House), Eve(XXX), Eric Bogosian(Gossip) and Bruce Willis(Bandits)...well because his ex Demi Moore(St. Elmos Fire) is in this one...terrible dialouge with lots of stupid action set pieces makes this a crappy sequel...damn you McG(tv's Fastlane) for making this junk..other stars include Andrew Wilson(Royal Tenenbaums), his brother Luke Wilson(Blue Streak), Matt LeBlanc(Lost In Space), Robert Patrick(Die Hard 2:Die Harder), Justin Theroux(Mulholland Dr.), John Cleese(Die Another Day), Crispin Glover(Like Mike), Carrie Fisher(Drop Dead Fred), Nick Cassevettes(Face/Off), Shai LeBeouf(Tv's Even STevens), John Forsythe(Charlie from the tv show Charlies Angels) and Bernie Mac(Head OF State, he has like 3 funny moments, when he is playing Clue, when hes a crossing guard and when hes explaining hes Irish), pure crap
Rating: Summary: Love Lucy Liu!!!! Review: This sequel is one of the best....all 3 angels are fantastic and funny!!! All are beautiful and really make these movies work!!! Lucy Liu = Excellent movie!!! Diaz and Barrymore=also help take this version to a fantastic level..that even the series could not have dreamed of doing back then. Seeing Bruce and Demi in the same movie was kinda nice.....the FX was great..and the new Bosley was hilarious and great also!! The whole cast was enjoyable and did very well!! This is a must get DVD!!!
Rating: Summary: Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle DVD Review Review: Movie: Okay, did anyone expect great cinematic art here? No, and why should they. The first Charlie's Angels was one of the dumbest no-brainer movies ever made, and Full Throttle keeps that tradition alive. While I did enjoy Charlie's Angels more than Full Throttle, I have to admit I did have a damn fun time watching it. After all, everyone needs a good dumb film like this every once in a while. I won't even begin to get into the plot, as there isn't much of one, anyway. As Natalie, Dylan, and Alex, the three Angels, Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu are obviously having the time of their lives. Despite looking very hot, they bring a fun energy to the movie that you just have to love. Demi Moore, in one of the best comebacks of the new millennium, is not only hotter than ever, but is also having a blast as an ex-angel gone bad. All in all, one of the dumbest movies ever, but it's so much fun, who really cares? (4/5) Picture: Full Throttle comes to DVD in an "Unrated" 2.40:1 anamorphic widescren version, and the theatrical version is presented in full frame 1.33:1. Seeing as the film was shot open matte, the full screen version contains more visual information on the top and bottom of the screen, while being very slightly cropped on the sides. The widescreen version loses some information on the top and bottom, but opens up a bit on the sides. Both look pretty good. Colors are very strong, and clarity is good. However, the picture can look a little too sharp at times. Not a bad transfer, though. (4/5) Sound: The Dolby Digital 5.1 track is excellent. The surrounds are active most of the time, and are put to effective use. A highlight is the motorcycle racing scene. While not as good as the excellent DTS track on the Superbit Charlie's Angels DVD, this does serve the film well. (5/5) Extras: There is a commentary by director McG, a study on the cars in Full Throttle, interviews, trailers, and the P!NK music video "Feel Good Time." There are quite a few nice extras here that are fun and informative. (4/5) Overall: A pretty good movie gets a pretty good DVD. Recommended. (4/5)
