Summary: Don't waste your time and money
Review: Horrible, mindless flick. Might give it 2 stars if they were naked. Just my humble opinion.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: No sequel please!
Review: You will love this movie if: 1. You were a major fan of the TV show. 2. You love stop-action fight sequences. 3. You are a fan of Diaz, Liu, or Barrymore.

Otherwise, this movie is only average. Good for a rent. Somewhat entertaining.

Summary: check your brain at the door
Review: Charlie's Angels is an incredibly dumb movie, but at least it's entertaining and has the good sense not to take itself seriously. Everyone involved looked like they had a lot of fun making this movie, which counts for a lot. I just wish they had better material to work with. Charlie's Angels is a decent movie, but not a memorable one. Watch it with some friends, and check your brain at the door.

This movie operates at the level of an old episode of the series. It's played to great tongue-in-cheek effect at the beginning, with lots of hair-flipping, egregious smiling, and split-screen effects. Eventually, though, the movie succumbs to the dumbness of the TV show, with characters explaining every last detail to us like we're in kindergarten. Do we need to see Drew Barrymore's Dylan spell out "enemy" in Scrabble, THEN run her finger over it and read it aloud? And the movie's basic "people are not who they seem" twist is so obvious that it feels insulting to have the Angels spell it out (pardon the pun) explicitly; were they afraid we missed its sledgehammer subtlety? One last note on this topic- there's so much slow-motion action in this movie that if you ran it at full speed, it would only be as long as an episode of the series.

That said, there's a lot to like. Bill Murray and Tim Curry steal every scene they're in. Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu make the most of their one-dimensional roles (Can someone please give Drew a good role for once? She always feels underused.) Cameron Diaz, though, is the real treat here, proving that it is possible to be a beautiful, sexy, talented female comedian in Hollywood (I dare you to name another). Her bit on "Soul Train" is the highlight of this movie.

A couple final comments- first, Tom Green needs to be banished from Hollywood. He's a poor actor, and he's just plain unfunny. Drew, I know you love him, but that's not an excuse to cast him. Second, why why why must Hollywood continue to beat us over the head with the idea that women aren't allowed to be successful in both love and their careers? It's an offensive subtext in this film's "girl power" message.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: How could you mess this up?
Review: 70's camp should be good for humour at least but the directors ended up with a bad farce. Apart from the occasionally succesful cultural references to Evel Knievel and Iron On T-Shirts - the directors got everything else wrong. Its unbelievable that they could take so many delicious pieces (need i say more) and bake such a flat cake. Surprisingly the only successful parts of the movie were the action scenes with the same kind of "wire-fu" seen in the matrix. If they had lightened up on the uh...comedy and made it more of an action movie it could have really been good..oh well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: awesome movie
Review: this is very awesome. its got action , comedy, and hot girls. the beggining fight scene is awesome. its better than the matrix. watch and see.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GOOD OR BAD?
Review: The movie is very good. It shows that we can fight with our braun and not with our hand. Drew Barrymore ,one of the stars of the movie is against guns, knifes... So the movie was with only one kind of violence.

Rating: 4 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A fun ride for everyone
Review: This movie was one of the most pleasant cinematic surprises I have ever had. I went to see it prepared to wince through the entire thing. Instead, I started smiling and laughing at the beginning, and ended up smiling all the way through. The word that most succinctly and accurately sums this film up is: FUN. It's not a movie you have to think a lot about (although there are a few twists and turns of the plot). It's not the kind of movie that will be known for its great writing. But it is an incredible amount of fun. The action is quick, the pacing keeps you engaged. The acting of the main stars was surprisingly good -- in particular, Cameron Diaz played the air-headed blonde role to the absolute hilt, and it came off very well. The sound-track was extremely entertaining -- I believe they must've played at least a little clip from every song ever made with the word "angel" figuring in it. In addition, the DVD has lots of extras in it, including 3 deleted scenes (they're very short, so don't expect anything monumental), and documentary-style clips on how they did the martial arts, the special effects, and wardrobe. And it also contains a short clip with some very funny bloopers. In all, the DVD is well worth the purchase price, and I will probably watch it several times in the coming weeks.
