Summary: Just 3 cute girls
Review: It had a plot for about 10 minutes, which made the script horrible, but if you like to watch gorgeous girls dance and pretend to fight, then this is your movie - because there are three of them.

Summary: Oh Boy...
Review: Yes. I came out of the theater and looked into a garbage can and saw a repeat of the movie I had just watched. I knew this would be bad after all the reviews, but it was a chance to go to the movies with my cousins so what the hay. Being 15 years old, it kept me awake having the action-craving gene. But I know that if I was an adult I would have fallen asleep, that's why my dad wouldn't come. I asked him if he was coming and he thought that was funny. This was nonstop action with not much of a good plot. A little creativity is involved with the different scenes, and Bernie Mac offered some laughs, but that's it, and sadly, it wasn't enough. I guess I could have offered this movie a star and a half at the most. This movie is aimed at young men and male kids, involving a very unnecessary strip scene, which had me moving uncomfortably in my seat. They were supposed to be doing their mission but ha! The camera was zooming up on sexual images strictly for men, which made me angry. In one of the scenes where one of the angels is talking to an x-angel on the beach, they are both in their bikinis and they look like they are about to kiss! Its so obvious what this movie is all about. Sex symbols for young male audiences.

Summary: MORE ACTION ~ LESS STORY
Review: These 3 ladies had alot of fun making this sequel, as they did with the first one (Charlie's Angels 2000), however you might not have as much fun watching it. The over load of action does not make up for the lack of story. And get this.. the villian is played by Gumby wearing a Demi Moore mask. I even noticed some wires that failed to be edited out. Here is the plot in one sentence. Two rings must come together. Sorry but I forgot why. It just wasn't worth remembering. I thought that director McG did a pretty good job with the first, but he simply over did everything with this one. You've heard of an artist spashing on a little color and he ends up with a masterpeice. But if he doesn't know when to stop he ruins it. This is where the ignorant saying "Less is more" comes in to play. Better luck with CA3.

Summary: Fun
Review: This movie was a feel good time. Pink put it so perfectly. The movie had a fun matrix feel to it and it was easy to follow. Obviously the movie is very predictable; however it was much better than the first one. It was loud, exciting, mindless fun. Each angel is great. Camron D. is hysterical and seems to be the head angel b/c she does most of the stuff. Drew and Lucy Lui are great and fun. The fashion in the movie is amazing. Each girl looks amazing in each scene. Their outfits are amazing. They wear great boots also. The clothes would be the one reason I would go to see this movie. Okay Demi Moore looks good from far away. In her close ups her skin kinda hangs; it is a little gross. The movie was fun. Now go see it!!!

Summary: Awesome Angels!
Review: There was no question that the extremely popular, highly profitable 2000 film version of the TV series,Charlie's Angels, would have a sequel. And now, here it is, with the three beautful and talented ladies returning to their roles. This time, they are joined by 'original' angel Kelly Garett, played by Jaclyn Smith, and 'fallen' angel Madison Lee, played by a beautifully remade Demi Moore. Clever cameos add to the excitement, making this installment as good as the first.These angels get to kick...in sexy clothes and stiletto heels. They get to run in slow motion as highly flammable stuff explodes behind them. They get to save the day and look fabulous doing it. And all the while, in true girl-power movie fashion, they stay true to each other. Sure, things get a little ridiculous sometimes, but it's all extremely entertaining and so much fun. In the opening sequence, for example, after effortlessly fighting off a room full of angry Mongolians, they plunge off a bridge in an armored truck to what should be their fiery death. But angels Natalie (Cameron Diaz), Dylan (Drew Barrymore) and Alex (Lucy Liu) are so plucky, so resourceful, so gosh-darned indefatigable, they just hop onto a helicopter - which happened to be inside the armored truck - and fly away to safety. "I'm afraid I underestimated you guys," a U.S. marshal they've rescued (played by Robert Patrick) remarks afterward. "Yeah," perky Natalie replies, her blinding grin seemingly taking up her entire face. "That happens a lot." Maybe our heroines get shortchanged in the plot and dialogue departments - but as was the case with the '70s TV show the movie is based on, those things don't really matter, do they? That's not what you came to see. The "Charlie's Angels" movies are all about having an unabashedly campy good time - and this is where a music-video background comes in handy for director McG, who made his feature-film debut with the original. "Full Throttle" is bigger, better, faster and more fun than the first - self-aware without being too cutesy, savvy without being tragically hip. It's a great addition to the long line of summer sequels. And wow, those outfits!

Summary: More of EVERYTHING!
Review: I loved everything about the first Charlie's Angels. As this one looked great in the previews, I still had doubts. Sequels aren't always that great, excluding Mission Impossible 2, which is portrayed as ME2 starring Lucy Liu's boyfriend, Matt LeBlanc, in the second Charlie's Angels film.
I had a choice to see either T3 or Full Throttle, eliminating The Hulk and Red White and Blonde, which my friend eliminated, because I would've seen those too.
Enough with that, let's get into the film. Constant music to keep us entertained. It's almost as if that's the only way to keep us attentive too. They will always have music, in every scene, and good music too (Raindrops keep falling on my head...hahaha). The action scenes are awesome. They aren't always serious, so it's okay to laugh at some crazy stunts like the motorcycle scene in which the bad guy jumps off a dirtbike in mid-air, with a gun in each of his hands, shooting at the Angels, grabbing the bike again, and landing perfectly. At one point, he even stands on the bike, which I found hilarious.
The way this film is shot was brilliant. It's not nausiating, but it's fast alright, and will leave you tired at the end of the movie.
Frequent use of the B-word gets annoying, Demi Moore being referred to as the B-word. Yet, each scene is great in its own way.
The movie does featuring many, many cameos, either throughout the whole film or for just five seconds, including John Cleese, Shia LeBouf (which I was very surprised to see), The Olsen Twins, Eve, and even an ex-Terminator (no, not Ah-nold).
Overall, it's an action-packed movie that will keep you HOOKED (and laughing) from beginning to the very, very end.

Summary: Girl Power!
Review: That's the phrase that kept popping into my head every time the Angels--Cameron, Drew, and Lucy--engaged in one of their frequent kicking and punching ecstasies. Cameron especially seemed to glory in her role as a violent cheerleader type. Plot has to do with retrieving two rings that if used together, reveal the new names and locations of every single person in the witness protection program--including, shockingly, one of the Angels herself!
So we also have soul-searching episodes when one of the Angels knows fear deep down inside that if she doesn't leave the trio, the other two gals might get hurt. An interesting aside to this (which probably wasn't intentional) is that there is something a little too real to the Angel's somewhat paralyzed response to seeing her former abusive boyfriend. Here we've seen her beat all manner of people up in the movie, but she seems terrified of this guy, so it brings to mind the emotional problems many abused women do have trying to sever from an abuser. However, not to dwell on that too much. I didn't see the first movie, so in reading other reviews, I see that there have been cast changes and continuing characters as well. Doesn't matter a jot if you're new to the "Charlie's Angels" scene. It was interesting to see that Demi Moore is our villainess, and that many of the reviewers are, "wow, she's really old at 40". Mix of age-ism and sexism, I guess, on their parts. Shakespeare it ain't. If, however, you want to vege out in an air-conditioned theatre and watch an upbeat nonsensical action movie, then "Full Throttle"'s for you.

Summary: Avoid At All Costs... see below
Review: I loved the first one. This one looks like a [bad] ten minute sketch from Saturday Night Live spoofing Hollywood expanded to movie length. I really need a thesaurus to give this movie its true description. I just don't have all the words I need. But, I can start with inane, insipid, incomprehensible, idiotic. What a waste of cuties in this extended music video. It wanders and never ends up anywhere. It reminds me of a couple of stoners let loose in a movie studio. "OOooh, we can get John Cleese and Demi Moore. Ooooh, let's put in that Who song."
