Summary: Quite possibly the worst film I've ever seen in my life...
Review: The only thing that I am at all pleased about this movie is that I saw it for $3 after it had gone to the cheap theaters (and notice how quickly after it was released THAT happened - there's a reason). Actually, I was annoyed to have even spent $3 on it, and would probably have been annoyed if I had seen it for free. It's just that bad.To further explain: this movie is far from finished - you get the distinct impression you are watching a rough draft, as this isn't so much a movie as a sequence of (oftentimes unrelated) scenes watched back to back. The plot was so thin, it was utterly incapable of holding this hodge-podge of scenes together; what results is some lame jokes (almost all repeats from the first film), a lot of pointless action, several pointless characters (what was the point of that orphan kid, or the "thin man" from the first movie, anyway?), and about 2 wasted hours of your time. Under no circumstances should you see this movie in a theater, and I strongly encourage you not to even rent it - it really is just THAT BAD.

Summary: Trashy Fun and one fantastic kiss.
Review: I have to say ,if you start out watching this expecting citizen kane then you are going to be very disapointed. But if you want a fun silly movie that has hot girls being over the top [tush] kicking crime fighters... then this is the flick for you!
The plot is simple,the songs are catchy and Its wonderful eye candy. Crispin glovers role alone makes the whole thing worth watching. There are cameos galore and if you can ignore demi moore's presence (which isnt hard she is barely in it) then you should be pleasantly surprised at how entertaining this movie is.

Summary: not bad at all
Review: I was surprised to see so many one star reviews for this movie. Personally I really thought it was good, but being a Lucy Liu fan makes a difference. I thought the second one was as good as the first -and it was more sexy.

Summary: It's sad that we've been reduced to this.
Review: People don't you get it? You're being insulted by hollywood. They know that you will spend money just to see young actractive no-talent actresses in a softcore porn movie with no plot, story, brains, this film is completely void of everything, it's sole purpose was to cash in on the first piece of junk. Please people, aren't you tired of watching trendy trash. Why don't you guys stop seeing these films and see good films, like Dead Poet's Society or Citizen Kane. Movies that had acting, plot, and characters. Quite watching advertising movies that show off everything hollywood says you should have. These movies basically say "you're not cool unless you dress like this and go along with the latest trends." Think for yourself, and if trash like this is your thing, then I'm sorry. I just think the old "sex sells" thing is getting old, but then again this is america, do you what you want, live how you want and not how you should, we think with our private parts, we kill our babies and worship nudity. I'm "proud" to be an "american."

Summary: As bad as it gets!
Review: I was told that the fist Charlie's Angels was a decent if light film to watch and that is why I decided to see the second installment. I realized, that the second movie made after a big success is never as good as the first one ... but even that idea could not have explained how bad this film was.
I cannot think of a worst way to spend an evening when you would like to relax and enjoy time with friends. At a certain point, the film became so boring and predictable that I started to look at my watch to see when the torture would end. These girls (I admit, very good looking and sexy) are involved in a mission to save several lives, but the plot is mindless, exaggerated, and all the fighting and kicking seems to be badly copied from The Matrix, in terms of film technology used. The story is silly and goofy, and the film tries to cover that up using too many special effects and sound that is too loud. It's a complete waste if we judge by the big budget this movie had.
If you don't want to have a ruined evening, I suggest you stay home and pass your time in a different way.
This is a movie that must be missed!

Summary: Just awful
Review: My ten year old daughter thought this film was "kind of stupid." When I asked her what was wrong with it, she hesitated about 2 seconds and said "It needed a plot." If a normal ten year old can determine in 2 seconds what is wrong with this movie, why can't a studio with access to million dollar talent? This movie was particularly disappointing in comparison to the first film, which my daughter (and I) found fun and worth many reruns.

Summary: A Great Chic Flick!
Review: Don't analysis the movie, don't worry if the special effects are realistic (Like the Matrix is realistic?!?!), and Demi Moore looks damn good for a woman in her 40's. Just enjoy watching the Angels kick some [booty]. This is still one of the best power chick flicks I have ever seen. It's meant to be a fun movie and that is exactly what it is.

Summary: Junk, but with some redeeming features...
Review: Perhaps the only real justification for the production of this silly film - one that does not have a discernable story line and is little more than a series of impossible stunts and fight scenes choreographed by a pounding sound track packaged to set the mood for the hopefully gullible movie audience masses - was to provide a vehicle for the incomparable Lucy Liu, once described by the inscrutable Philip J. Fry of "Futurama" fame as Earth's greatest actress of the 21st century... I must confess that her bit in the burlesque scene convinced me to buy my treasured copy.

Summary: Okay, but could have been way better
Review: I loved the first Charlie's Angels. It was kitchy, outrageous, funny and had three girls kicking butt. It didn't take itself seriously -- kind of like the show -- and that was the reason it was fun. It wasn't supposed to be Indiana Jones-serious and I went into it knowing that. The sequel... could have been done better, unfortunately. But, it's not without it's charm. POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD. The good:
Well, the three original characters are back and they have more adventures, more stunts, more fights and plays up to all of them nicely. You have Demi Moore playing an angel gone bad, which was a nice twist and a handful of cameos. Cameron Diaz being the loveable ditz is hysterical. The bad:
There's a number of things here that I just have to write about. The storyline is choppy and ill-written. The first's storyline was outrageous, but it worked. This one is so out there with too many characters, too many bad guys, too many subplots that it was overkill. You have Dylan's past coming back to haunt her, Alex's father thinking she's into prostitution, Natalie's relationship with her now live-in boyfriend, creepy thin-man with absolutely no purpose and Matt LeBlanc who should have never been written back in, top that off with the Halo rings that have been stolen and so many characters playing bad guys you get lost. The script should have been worked on much harder and longer; it's like the first Tomb Raider, it just concentrates too much on action and the serious moments are really unnecessary. This movie tries to be more dramatic in areas that really are wasted, (i.e., Dylan coming to terms with the fact that the Angels will eventually split up down the road, sob! sob! Oh, c'mon!) There's too many one-liners, (they actually use the term bee-yatch... GAG! Why didn't they just throw in blang, blang, while they were at it?) making it highly annoying at times. Bernie Mac, although I love his show, was VERY much badly cast as Bosley. They should have offered Murray a lot of money to reprise his role because there are just too many times that the Mac is just annoying and wasted. Creepy thin man (Crispin Glover) who was brilliant in the first movie, reprises his role and unfortunately they give some of his background. WHY was this necessary!?! Plus, for absolutely no reason, he gets involved with the Angels which you will see. They kill the mystery of the creepy thin man in this sequel. Matt LeBlanc and John Cleese's roles are completely wasted on a useless subplot around Alex (mistakening her for a prostitute, Charlie being her pimp.) Demi Moore makes a great bad angel. She's hip, fun and wicked... she's just overdone. Her role starts too far into the movie and she acts like she's making up for it. She only surfaces in the last third of the movie. Plus, it's really obvious she's trying to upstage her three younger costars. Demi is definitely lovely eyecandy for the guys out there, and considering how the world knew that she spent a lot of money on resculpting, concentration is focused on how she looks rather than her role. Plus, it's really obvious that Drew Barrymore had a lot of creative control in this flick. She's heavily into gun control (so only the bad guys have guns, and they kinda make a point of that, which gets a little preachy) her plots/subplots overshadow her two costars, which I found annoying and she has the most camera time. Drew, next time, share. The one thing I did like is that she's not as glamorous as her two partners, which was a nice twist. So, it's with heavy hesitation that I say it was fair. I had hoped that it would have been as good as the first, but apparently it didn't do too well in the box office, so if there's a third installment, I'll be surprised. I won't be buying this... maybe rent it if there's nothing else to rent, but I'd recommend sticking to the first. Two out of five stars for bad script and bad focus.

Summary: oh puh-leeez!
Review: this movie rocks because it is what it is and it doesn't pretend to be anything else. it also doesn't apologize.
i don't know about you but i have often laughed fondly at the angel cult and copied idiotic hair flicks with my friends. then came the movie (part one) and it just elaborated the idiotic, the camp, the fast-cut, the colorful. i expected a lot from the sequel and it didn't disapoint me.
it was more of everything. more action, more wigs, more color, more dance numbers, more flying....
these girls just leave the ground without even bending their knees while dodging bullets and 'taking on six sailors' leaving unscathed and with their make-up unsmudged.
isn't that what it is about when it comes to 'charlie's angels'? it is for me. if you are like that too you will love this. chances are you have already seen it anyway. sign me up for this dvd, amazon!!!
