Summary: Angels On High
Review: An interesting, if not totally predictable take off on the television series of the same name. The acting was so-so, especially Bill Murray as Bosley.
The action sequences were breath-taking. An art form in itself. Although totally unbelievable, the choreography was brilliant. This film and DVD are visually stunning. If viewed strictly for entertainment value and gratuitous sexuality, then a worthwhile investment of your leisure time. Also good for a few laughs.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny and creative update!
Review: Ok so you will not learn the secret to a rich an fullfillinf life or solve the more difficult questions in life. Who cares?!. This funny little movie, i.e., Charlie's AngelsVHS ~ Cameron Diaz is filled to the brim with good action, tongue in cheek comedy and awesome action sequences. Recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Never Get Sick of Watching This One!
Review: Charlie's Angels is a great action packed movie-full of hot action scenes, 3 beautiful women, and a little humor here and there.

Natalie (Cameron Diaz), Alex (Lucy Liu), and Dylan (Drew Barrymore) are called to investigate a crime involving a robbery of software and kidnapping of of the high-tech software programmer. The girls have Bosley (Bill Murray) for help, but also gets kidnapped later in the movie. The whole crime investigation turns out to be a whole set up from the enemies, which are trying to capture the angels.

Each scene in the movie is like a chapter in a book. You will remember each scene- fighting in Chinatown, the race car scene, falling out of the window, Alex's "ooh baraccuda" scene, and many more.

I highly recommend this movie to teenagers and young adults. A nice flick to watch on when you have some spare time.

Summary: When Will It End?
Review: One would think by reading the majority of the critical reviews, CHARLIE'S ANGELS is a great movie adaptation of the 1970s television show. Well, don't think that. CHARLIE'S ANGELS is NOT a great adaptation of the television show in which it was based. Yes, the movie has lots of jiggle and action and the plot is believable (though it's a rip off of MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE). However, the movie is totally uninspired.

Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore are the only people in the film who actually look like they enjoyed making the movie. Everyone else in the movie has this look of "what have I gotten myself into" on their faces, especially Lucy Liu and Bill Murray. Actually, Murray and Liu spend most of the movie scowling (suggesting that the rumors of bad blood between those two were true). I'm not surprised Murray does not wish to return as Bosley in the sequel.

As mentioned before, the film contains a great deal of action. Too much action to be precise. Kung Wu action sequences and bullet time work well in films like THE MATRIX where those movements are essential to the plot; CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON which is basically a mystical modern legend; and in SHREK because it's a cartoon. However, as cool as those action sequences are, they don't work in every action movie. Those sequences have been exploited and are being overused, often taking any sense of empathy away from otherwise good movies. Those Kung Wu moves were used so much in CHARLIE'S ANGELS that I started laughing every time the Angels were fighting.

I was young enough to watch the last few seasons of "Charlie's Angels" when it aired on television. Granted, the show didn't have the best writing in the world and is best known for its jiggle factor. However, the show never really was campy. CHARLIE'S ANGELS the movie is total camp, making fun of itself throughout the picture. That's so sad because the film could have been so good. Moral of the story: don't let McG direct anymore movies.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: UH NO
Review: Unrealistic, lack of realism, do not rent or buy, waste of money, worst movie I have seen in a long time

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Action packed
Review: Action packed, but lacking in plot. This is a good movie, full of action... but quite a bit on the silly-side! The stunts are ridiculous, and so are the personalities and relationships. But all in all, it was a fun movie to watch. I'm a big Bill Murray fan, and this movie is just his style... except he's in a supporting role this time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FUN!
Review: If you want an action-packed feel good movie, this is it! The costume changes, effects and action sequences add to the unoriginal story making it entertaining and fun to watch. I would classify this film as an action comedy, and I highly recommend it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Angel Style!
Review: This is one of the best DVD's of the year! It features all the neccesary features (widescreen presentation of 2.35:1, multiple language subtitles, audio commentary, 5 featurettes, deleted scenes, outtakes [already in the credits], 2 music videos, teaser & theatrical trailers plus sneak peaks, animated menus, production notes, scene selections, talent files, DVD-ROM official website). It could be better if it had a screenplay viewer on the DVD-ROM. Everything is great, especially the sound (digitally mastered, english 5.1 Dolby Digital & 2 channel dolby surround & french track). The digitally mastered anamorphic video (widescreen 2.35:1) is almost perfect except for the VERY FEW grainy errors in transfer, although there are almost none. Enjoy this DVD, it's totally worth it. The film is wonderful and very comedic! Lucy Liu, Cammy Diaz, and Drew Barrymore are terrific and hopefully will return for a sequel. Terrfic cinematography & special effects.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Michelle Yeoh does it better......
Review: Bad script, bad action, and bad acting. What were they thinking? The best thing about this film was the opening when fans got to see the stunning Jacklyn Smith -- who still looks better than all the actresses in this film. Even Michele Yeoh does all her stunts while these ladies need a wire to hoist their heavy, out-of-shape bottoms off the ground. So much for reality in American fight films.
