Summary: Appalling twaddle
Review: Someone send Cameron Diaz a comb. If Drew were not a Barrymore, would be be showing up to smirk cutely in movies all the time? I know you're not supposed to take these things seriously but there's a point where they become offensive.

Summary: Total Crap
Review: Bad S.E, bad acting, bad jokes. It sucks

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: fun, fun, fun! i wanna be an angel!
Review: What on earth is : amatuermovieexpert on about? 'this movie glamorises co-habitation'? its not like glamorising a serial killer or something, co-habitation IS fun and hard and lovely and all those good things. Please don't show your sad immaturity with those kind of comments again. And how about reviewing a movie without giving away plot points such as who the baddy really is. and how about 'reviewing' (i use the term lightly) a movie without preaching at people like they're in sunday school, there is nothing wrong with the majority of things you seemed to have a problem with. get off your sanctimonious 'moral' high horse and try and enjoy yourself, people will like you better and you might even (god forbid) have fun!
and just so people know - this movie rocks!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: HIGH-OCTANE BUBBLEGUM ACTION
Review: It's not surprising that the reviews for a movie like this are so hit-and-miss. The movie generates most of its energy from the enthusiasm of the performances, however ludicrous they might be if you insist on making sense out of them.

The 'angels' are all on top-form and are pretty well fitting in their roles. But Demi Moore's fallen angel Madison Lee is one of the best villains I've seen in a while, she's creepy in her wickedness! Moore may be 40, but she can still seer up the screen even if only in unnecessary beach bathing scenes with a Lamborghini.

What really shines amidst the high-octane action though is the fantastic soundtrack. Loads of cool numbers that lend the film its breakneck upbeat pace.

The plot is certainly the glaring weakness, a bare skeleton for the film to stick to. The story of a list of people using the Witness Protection Programme certainly isn't what 'Charlie's Angels' will be remembered for. Action sequences and CG are expected to be perfect in today's high-tech world, thus, all visual points are well choreographed and conceived.

All in all, 'Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle' is good guilty fun. It's not Godfather or Se7en, but it isn't as brainless and inept as some of the reviews will have you believe.

Recommended.

Summary: Full Throttle, Half baked
Review: I sat down with a large bowl of popcorn, hoping to blow off a couple of hours of a cold fall afternoon. After about 20 minutes of this wretched mess, I was finishing my popcorn with one hand and holding down the fast forward button with the other. I really did not want much from the film, just to be entertained. However, while the first Charlie's Angels film was mildly entertaining, but this movie manages to be both insipid and boring. Trust me, the other, more detailed, negative reviews here are not writers trying to show off by trashing a harmless movie, "Full Throttle" really is as awful as they all say .

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A rocking Rock N Roll good time.
Review: This movie gets 7 thumbs up from our household. My 20 year children liked it, mom and I liked it and the little ones liked it. The only foul language we noticed was from the mouth of Bosley. To bad. There is sexual inuendo, but it is subtle enough for younger viewers.

The action and the rock and roll music are terrific. This movie is fun to watch, almost as much fun as the original.

Rating: 1 stars

Summary: Difficult to decide if the sequel is better than the first!!
Review: WOOH!!! MY SHARONA!! (sry, i love that song and it was in the ads). Anyway, this sequel to one of my favorite movies of all time ROCKED!!! Awesome stunts, original angels, and the jokes just as funny as ever!

Cameron Diaz plays Natalie Cook, a young woman who's found a guy and is moving in with him. She was the mascot of her high school, and enjoys being an angel more than anything else.

Drew Barrymore (my absolute FAVORITE) plays the gorgeous Dylan Sanders, who is rather unluck in the love department. Her ex is out to kill her for testifying against him in court. Actually, she's under the Witness Protection Agency, and her name was changed to Dylan Sanders from Helen Zaas (there is almost a whole scene of jokes referring to the name--hilarious).

Lucy Liu plays the classy almost-always-in-black Alex Munday. Her british (played to a T by John Cleese) has believe for some time that she was a neuro-surgeon. That is, until her movie-star boyfriend (Friend's Matt LeBlanc) tries to explain to him about Charlie, and Mr. Munday is given the impression that his daughter is a slut (oops).

Demi Moore plays a fallen angel named Madison Lee. Her philosiphy? "Why be an angel when I can play God?" Madison would rather be her own boss, as opposed to taking "orders from a speakerbox." Moore is excellent as the rebellious former-angel, whom my brother's friend refers to as the "hottest angel."

I also want to say that it is AWESOME that Kelly Garret has a brief appearance in this movie to console Dylan!!

The stunts and special effects are mind-blowing, and make me say "NNNIIIIICE!!!" more than once.

Lastly, this is a GREAT, ASTOUNDING, HILARIOUS, INCREDIBLE MOVIE!!!!!! I am so glad I spent the money to see this movie TWICE in theaters!! IT ROCKS!!!

Summary: Sub-Par, But Still Fun!
Review: Now who didn't love the first CHARLIE'S ANGEL. Maybe not on the "dramatic side" but still dead fun to watch. It was a sucess, so of course McG (the director) had to cash in again on the franchise. Well the movie is similar to the first. Lucy Lui, Cameron Diaz, and Drew Barrymore play Charlie's angels, superhero crime fighters employed by mysterious never-seen Charlie. Bosely (who was played by Bill Murray) is now played by Bernie Mac, who is always funny. Demi Moore (who is seriously fit for a woman 40 years old) plays Madison, an angel-gone-bad. It is a typical case of good vs. evil. The plot is wish-washed and a mess. The characters are not developed well, mainly because the first one developed them. There is little drama, mainly only a seriously lame nostalgia between Dillon (Barrymore) and Shamus the big bad guy, who Dillon locked up. That should have seriously been left out of the movie. The most dissapointing aspect of the film is the sub-par action sequences. I'm an action man, and this movie has action sequences that are still cool, but really sub-par compared to the first flick.

The film is always fun to watch, like the first. Some serious skin is shown, but nothing completly. Although some may disagree, I think the film DOES warrent only a PG-13 and it is not a stretch. The film is fun movie, but is still not as good as the first film. Overall it is just another attempt to squeeze money out of a franchise through a sequel.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Charlie's Fallen Angels.
Review: I can't remember the last time I felt so uncomfortable and uneasy in a film than while watching Charlie's Angels Full Throttle, and it has been a very long time since I felt so happy to see the credits roll!
Far from meeting my expectations, this second adventure of the Angels was a very badly written and directed film (by original director Mc G), and this is why,
First of all, the action is the backbone of these films,often lightened up with humour and some sexiness.The decision of director Mc G to show every fall and jump in slow motion was very annoying and ruined the whole action sequences. They did appear very 'digital' without being impressive or exciting.
The humour was supposed mainly to come courtesy of the great John Cleese, but yet again Mc G fails miserably to invest funnily in such a comic talent, and Cleese does look uncomfortable.
Bosely's character played by Bernie Mac appeared too dim witted for no apparent reason.
Moreover, I cringed at the many references to other films, supposedly to add a cheeky humour: Cape Fear (the prisoner with tattoos bent on revenge),Terminator (the naked kneeling posture of Arnie), and the Matrix.
Had this been a parody like Scary Movie or Naked Gun, then these references would be expected and funny, but it is not and I found them out of place.
In addition, the directing style is very pretentiously mediocre instead of the 'hip' and 'cool' it is supposed to be. It is fine if the viewers have the attention span of a goldfish, but regardless of their age group or tastes, they have not.(It is time some directors and studios treat their audiences with greater respect.)
Another point is the long list of cameos appearing in Full Throttle: Bruce Willis, Carrie Fisher, Eric Bogosian, Jacklyn Smith, Olson Twins, Pink, and Robert Foster. My only explanation for this is simply this film looked much more promising on paper and an expected huge hit due to the success of the original.
The only redeeming factor in this movie is Demi Moore who makes a fresh comeback playing a sort of 'fallen' angel. She is still gorgeous and very sexy!
Avoid this movie and save yourself time and money on a better film!
