Rating: Summary: I'm just glad Crispin Glover got paid. Review: Let it be known now that I would never invest a cent in this film. I was at a new friend's house. She had the DVD so we watched it to break the ice. She is of the belief that the film is so bad it's good. I think it's so bad that someone should be shot. One question rang through my head during the whole film. How do movies like this get made? Think about it. Making a film is very difficult. I am sure that this film was no easy feat to put together. Even as a spoof on spoofs Charlie's Angels fails on an insulting level. The best that can be said about it is Crispin Glover. Without his odd quiet performance I don't think I could have watched this film at all. When the movie was over I said to myself, I doubt that this DVD came with any extras other than a trailer, it's just not possible. Who would watch it? Man, I was wrong. This is one of the best looking, sounding, loaded DVD's I have ever seen. But I ask you, why? Gloss does not equal good.
Rating: Summary: Not Worth Buying! Review: Entertaining fluff, worth one viewing but no more. That's probably why there are 40 used copies available as I write this review! Rent it at your local vid store, take it back, and move on to something better!
Rating: Summary: What a movie, MOVIE???? Review: *LOL*, I really coud not stand it. I mean on one hand the movie is ingenious - if you have the right 'point of view'. On the other hand it is utterly BAD. The movie stole everything from the past one year movies, including Matrix (fight scenes), Mission impossible and not to mention 007 - SURE. But not as good as those are! You can see a 'package' attached to the back of one of the actors - where the 'strings' maybe attached, you can see relativly cheap CGI and sound stages - who cares!Three, truly very lovely ladies are worth to watch every moment of the movie. Ingenious Tim Curry and Bill Murray make this movie really worth to see. I mean don't beat me for this, but I thought this is somehow a feminist picture - which is good, in my understanding. See Drew Barrymore and the 'bound to the chair scene'to understand what I am talking about. I was delighted and disappointed in the same way BUT laughed out loud. The sound score quotes a lot of movies and even old Godzilla movies - amazing! The three ladies play with so much fun and joy it's amazing! The movie itself is a laugh but somehow it is really entertaining and due to it's very uniqe ideas a must to see. I can recommend to watch and enjoy this movie. I did. Personally, it's ok for me to watch it once, but maybe you can encounter more and more details when you watch it several times.
Rating: Summary: I wonder ... Review: I see the reviews of this movie and I wonder if we were seeing the same movie. Perhaps that worst movie of the year!! The acting was bad, the plot was bad, the humor was a poor attempt at campy ... just a big bust. Again, another movie that throws big name actors / actress and that should be enough to carry the movie. It was nothing like the original TV series and it was not even good on it's own merit. I have watched some bad movies before ... but they are usually "B" movies and you somewhat expect that. In this case, it was as bad as most "B" movies, if not worse. I cannot understand the 4 and 5 star ratings that people give this move. It was bad.
Rating: Summary: I loved this movie Review: I was a fan of the original Charlies Angels series and this movie was better than the original. Its very entertaining in a light hearted way.
Rating: Summary: Awesome Angels Review: This movie is just fun. They had a lot of fun making it, as is apparent in the special features for this DVD, and I had a blast watching it. Lucy Liu is particularly wonderful. This is a light movie you can watch again and again. Definitely honors the original 70's series.
Rating: Summary: Y2K Complient Review: The 2000 remake of the 70s series is very surprising in several ways. When the trailers and ads were released, it was given the image of yet another failed movie sprouting from an earlier television series, such as The Mod Squad,Leave It To Beaver and Shaft. The three angels: Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu were given their roles largely on the count of their physical appearance. After about thirty minutes of this, you will discover that they really can't act very well at all. Bosley, played by Bill Murray, was brought back as being more loose and unserious, but his performance still did seem to shadow the character from the original show. The actual plot was very similar to the ones from the program, which certainly helped the films cause. The voice of Charlie was no different than the original, and his face wasn't seen at all, thanks to the minds of the original show. Some of the methods used by the girls to investigate their cases were funny, but they weren't inspired from the show at all. They didn't bear any kind of similarity to the old show. That may or may not be good, depending on your opinion of the old series. My overall opinion is that the plot and costarring roles were fine, but all of the martial arts and bubble gum material was not.
Rating: Summary: Good action movie for a girl who doesn't usually like action Review: I don't have much time so I'll make this short: Charlie's Angel's was great. I've never seen the show and I don't normally like action films, but I thought this was good natured and funny while maintaining a good premise. I especially liked the outtakes at the end (Tom Green: The Chad is Great! The Chad is stuck.) I plan to see this many times in the future.
Rating: Summary: Rockin' Angels Review: Far fetched? Yes. This movie isn't about reality, and you'll be having too much fun to really care. The cast is terrific, but the real prize goes to the special effects. These Angels kick butt like the original Angels never could, and all without packing heat. The dvd is worth the price simply for watching Cameron Diaz's dance routine on Soul Train. Buy this dvd, pop some popcorn and have a great time.
