Summary: as good if not better than the first
Review: So then why do I only give it 4 out of 5 stars? It's because of the DVD version. I couldn't tell any difference between the unrated version and the theatrical version. It seems like the unrated title was slapped onto the cover just so more copies would sell. Anyway, on with the review: As I said in my title, Full Throttle definately lives up to it's predecessor. The returning characters in Full Throttle are Bosley who this time is played by Bernie Mac, which I prefered him as Bosley over Bill Murray and the Thin Man played again by Crispin Glover from the first movie. Demi Moore does a good job playing the sexy villain. The new disguieses and the motorcyle race are also a plus. I can't believe the number of people who gave negative reviews towards this movie! In my opinion, Full Throttle is one of many examples on how sequels aren't always a bad idea. As for specail features on the DVD, the unrated and theatrical version aren't much different.

Summary: No substance, but lots of thrills
Review: This film was mostly special effects and glitz. Eye candy only. It had no substance and did not challenge the viewer to think much at all. It was a fun movie and for fairly mindless entertainment that addresses no issues and delivers no message it was good. If you want to avoid life for a short while and sit back with some snack food to watch something that will not emotionally impact you much, this is the film. If you want action with more substance, catch Tomb Raider or Terminator 3.

Summary: Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle
Review: I must say that this sequel to the original in my opinion was really awesome with the exception that when I saw it at the theater, it didnt look as fake as it did on the DVD version. Otherwise the only other problem I have with this film is that at certain points in the story, it gets confusing. Demi Moore's character was cool and the new Bosley was way better than Bill Murray's version of Bosley. Bernie Mac was funnier while Bill Murray was too serious. All in all I thought the movie was great and hopefully they will make a Charlie's Angels 3!

Summary: If you liked the first Charlie's Angels remake
Review: ... you'll love the second one. The crazy stunts are even more preposterous, the jokes more raunchy, and the intensity gets a good jolt. However, this movie suffers from the same banal writing as the first. Most of the movie consists of cue-card dialogue and cookie cutter action sequences. There are a few gems in the rough, including a scene where Drew Barrymore runs into machismo in Mexico, and a really funny rendition of MC Hammer dancing. The unfolding helicopter is impressive. If you're looking for a light fluffy movie for a date, where you don't have to pay close attention to get the drift of what's going on, this is it.

Summary: Music video/ action hybrid.
Review: This is an intentionally silly movie. Diaz, Liu, and Barrymoore are a great team and John Cleese of Monty Python is very funny.
There are a number of refrences to musicals in this one; Grease (Rydell High), and Streets of Fire should be viewed to see it's influence.
Could have done without Demi Moore licking Cameron Diaz's face though.

Summary: Beyond terrible. Beyond stupid. Beyond pointless.
Review: What is this film about?! It's just the worse thing I've seen for ages. It doesn't even enter into "so bad it's good" territory as it is just plain bad. It has nothing to do with "Charlies Angels" other than that it is about three good-looking women... It's loaded with Matrix-style effects for no reason other than to say "Look at the budget we spent on this crap!"
An absolute embarrassment for all concerned.
Also: I'm afraid to say that comedy legend John Cleese, it seems, is happy to appear in any old barrel of trash nowadays, which is an absolute shame. Same goes for Rowan Atkinson (although, surprisingly, he doesn't appear in this movie...)
Please stop this "McG" idiot from making any more movies ever again. In another time this would have killed the careers of Barrymore, Diaz and Liu.

Summary: SO MUCH FUN!
Review: fun, fast-paced action; the three leads are so charming; wonderful eye-candy

Summary: High Powered Action
Review: The Charlie's Angels series of movies improves greatly with this second one. The action has been powered up, the story is more interesting, and the humor works a little better. In other words, the whole thing has been put on overdrive. One of the big changes is that Bill Murray has been replaced with Bernie Mac as Bosley. I love Bill Murray's comedy, but he didn't fit in well with the first Angels movie, so I think this is an improvement. Another thing is the use of wire action and CG has increased to good effect. Also, Tom Green is absent from this movie (thank goodness).The Angels are played by Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu. I particularly enjoyed Cameron Diaz's performance. Her portrayal of Natalie added a lot of energy and freshness to the movie. Without her performance, I would probably drop the rating. I just can't say it enough--Cameron is a great actress. The basic plot of this sexy comic action movie is that two rings have been stolen from the government. When the two rings are combined, they release the identity and location of everyone on the witness protection program. The Angels must stop the shadowy figure who is threatening to sell these rings to the highest bidder. One of the scenes that was a stand-out for me was the one at a motorcross rally. Several dirt bike racers jump and flip and shoot and generally cause a lot of destruction while the Angels try to catch a surfer assasin. It's really thrilling to watch.

Summary: The worst of the year !!!!!
Review: This must be the worst film of the year, if not the decade. The "story" is nonexistant, the acting - if you can call it that - (other than Diaz) is forced and plastic and the action scenes are so over-the-top that you look at them as think - 'Does gravity or the laws of nature exist in their world?' A great example is when one of the Angles jumps off a 3 story building and lands on her feet (high heels no less)- PLEASE...... This is worse than a bad MTV video and more like a kids cartoon (less any plot).

Summary: Sad is the first word that comes to mind
Review: Okay, first of all I really liked the first one. In this movie there is no story, and it really is all about sex, the jokes, the costumes, everything. I like the concept of girls kicking butt, but this whole movie was about the sex appeal of the stars. Even the jokes were about sex and disgusting. Add to that the ridiculous Bosley and this movie is not worth your time.
