Rating: Summary: Fast, Smart, Slick, Fun, Tour-de-Force! Review: I bought this DVD just because I think Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu are gorgeous, but I got more than I bargained for. There is no depth to the plot, but there's plenty of action, and lots of fun. The special effects are great, and the best part of the film, is that it never takes itself seriously. Bill Murray is great as Bosley. I thought that was a curious choice, but he makes it work here, surprisingly well. If you're looking to be flat-out entertained, buy this DVD. You'll probably watch it more than once, I know I will, Cameron Diaz never looked better!
Rating: Summary: ANGELS YOUR MISSION: FIND FARRAH, JACLYN AND KATE! Review: Charlies Angels the movie is entertaining, fun and cute, but don't go spending $8 in a movie theater. This is definitely rentable fair at best.Its like watching "The Matrix" in overdrive - with the constant kung fu stop and go, speed up, stop, rewind action sequences. My surprise was Drew Barrymore was the strongest of all personalities in this film including Bill Murray. Lucy Liu was fair and Cameron Diaz was a weak Jill Munroe at best....Farrah could still pull it off today. I miss the old angels Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd, Farrah Fawcett, and yes Shelley Hack too!....but not Tanya Roberts. The problem here was I was rooting for the bad guys - case in point don't make your enemy prettier, sexier and curve better in a rubber suit than the stars. Kelly Lynch was awesome and actually should of been one of the angels. Her acting skills were better and she seemed to be more angel material. As for the plot, same ole, same ole, they try to twist it around but you figure it out, and too much time is wasted with the angels and their boyfriends. Drew note when casting: DON'T CAST YOUR OWN HUSBAND! Tom Greene played "The Chad", and was basically playing himself, and his facial expressions were not acting to say the least and came off like he wanted to do his work and quickly cash in his paycheck. Crispin Glover who doesn't ever utter one word in the picture is great as the skinny, bizarre bad guy. Other than that the soundtrack is great brings back good memories but the movie falls kind of flat. I say just watch the original on TV land.
Rating: Summary: worst movie ever Review: If you like hot babes, This movie is for you, If I wanted to see hot babes I get one or two or get some porno.I wanted to see a cool action movie not some stupid looking comedy with women using their sex appeal for their gain. I gave it one starr because it had the no star option. Get MI2 or the matrix. Anybody seen highlander endgame? Its freaking awesome, The fight seens are cool.... Ice
Rating: Summary: ANGELS ON A GOOF TRIP! Review: Charlie's Angels is the famous '70 show which I have never seen. When I went to go see the movie I had no idea what to expect. When I came out of the movie theater I was amazed, I went to see the movie 4 or 5 times. This movie is for the goof troop out there. Cameron, Drew, and Lucy show that you can be hot, sexy, smart and goofy all at the same time. If you for once just go along with the movie, and don't think about it to much, you're gonna have a blast! The best part is when Cameron Diaz bust a move on Soul Train! Have some fun and check it out!
Rating: Summary: DVD makes the movie worth watching Review: When I was watching this movie in the theatre, I had a sense of dread come over me about half way through the movie. This sense of dread came about because I was actually confused by a movie based on Charlie's Angels. Characters were in places with no explanation, the bad guys suddenly had computer access and I had no clue when that happened. The friends I had seen it with also had this disoriented experience, so we chalked it up to poor editing, saving my ego. Sure enough, we were right. The DVD includes about 15 straight minutes that were edited out of the movie. These scenes are all good and really explained stuff that had happened, no idea why they were left on the cutting room floor. Anyway, the DVD version is far better than theatrical release.
Rating: Summary: A FUN, ENTERTAINING MOVIE Review: Dillan (Drew Barrymore), Natalie (Cameron Diaz), and Alex (Lucy Liu) are Charlie's newest angels, and their latest mission is to stop a madman out to rid the world of their privacy. When a young computer genius, the creator of a piece of technology that enables you to locate the whereabouts of every person in the world, is kidnapped, the Angels step in to rescue him, and foil a madman's evil plan. Just as the Angels are about to bring down the bad guys, a secret is revealed putting the girls in the center of a far more evil plan. "Charlie's Angels", if a bit silly, is loads of fun. It is filled with awesome action sequences; containing-Matrix like-special effects, high tech gadgets, many disguises, and comedy that is unexpected, and very funny. Drew, Cameron, and Lucy are sexy, and funny in their roles of Charlie's Angels, and Bill Murray has never been better as Bosley in this high-octane action/comedy. Nick Gonnella
Rating: Summary: It's like M:I-2....but with hot chicks Review: Some people have ripped Charlie's Angels apart for being too over the top and too stupid. Well, this film is no more exagerated than Mission Impossible 2, The Matrix or Romeo Must Die. The fight scenes are very well done and very Matrix esque. Cameron, Drew and Lucy all do some amazing stunts and I would not want to make any of these lovely ladies mad at me! "Yes honey, I'll take the garbage out....just don't break my neck"! Charlie's Angels has some comedy thrown in as well and for the most part it is funny. I laughed at how bad the jokes really were most of the time. Its not a brilliantly scripted comedy but thats its charm. C.A. is trying to be campy and cheesie....which it does really well. My favorite comedic scene is the Cameron Diaz "Soul Train" scene. This scene has Diaz being the only "white girl" on Soul Train and it is hillarious to watch. Also this film has an amazing soundtrack. Bands like Korn, Metallica, Heart, Sir Mix Alot and Prodigy really heat up the action scenes. I was amazed at how well the various music tracks fit into a particular scene. The sound pumps loudly and clearly which gives this movie a big shot in the arm. All three women are beautiful to look at as well. Drew and Cameron are very pretty but I have to go with Lucy Liu here for 1st place. Man, what a knockout!!! If you like tongue-in-cheek humor, Beautiful women, pumping music and blazing action you will like Charlie' Angels a lot. Buy it now!
Rating: Summary: Good Fun! Review: This Charlie's Angels remake make not make all that much sense, and might not be realistic, but it sure is fun to watch the girls (Barrymore, Diaz, and Liu) show their wild sides! But what's wierd is a few scenes: A couple involving Tom Green where he keeps bringing up "the Chad", it's kinda dumb, but funny I guess. And some of the acting is kinda corny. But overall I had great fun watching this DVD and the special effects are great. So I recommend this DVD to anyone.
Rating: Summary: TV Show Or Movie? Review: Many people will say that the movie version of this hit 70's TV show is gonna be horrible without one shread pf evidence. To all of those people... YOU ARE WRONG! Charlies Angels has just as many plot-twists, comedic humor, and action as the TV show. Actually the movie has 20 times the amount of cool stuff the old TV show has! See it and find out how wrong you are!
Rating: Summary: A Whole Lot of Fun Review: Before I begin, let me get one thing straigh: Charlie's Angels is not a good movie, per se. It is not Citizen Kane, it is not Casablanca, it isn't even Gladiator. But because it never aspires to be anything besides a showcase for its three beautiful leads and the hilarious Bill Murray, it succeeds admirably, creating the first really fun movie to watch in a long time.
