Summary: The Dumbing Down of Girls Gone Wild.
Review: This film if anything else comes off as pretentious and overdone. You end up not caring if any of the "angels" live or die. "Charlie's Angels" is yet another in a long list of action films where the viewer actually ends up rooting for the bad guys. With as much empahsis as they put on style in this film, it may as well been a music video. On a superficial level, this film works great, but the cutesey girls kick butt stuff was overempasisized and was not enough to carry the weight of this horrible film.

Summary: Intentionally one of the most absurd films ever, but fun
Review: This is one of those films, like THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI ACROSS THE 8th DIMENSION, that is over-the-top absurd. Like Buckaroo Banzai, who was simultaneously a rock star, surgeon, scientist, and super adventurer, the three Angels in this film are all improbably talented. By the end, they all started reminding me of Barbie dolls, and all about as convincing as a Barbie doll in each incarnation. We get Kung Fun Barbie Doll followed by Computer Nerd Barbie Doll to be followed by Race Car Driver Barbie Doll. At no point are any of the girls the tiniest bit convincing in their rolls. In this regard, the film is as ridiculous as the original TV show, which despite being a hit was, in my mind, one of the worst shows ever. The difference between the two shows, and what makes this film fun instead of awful, is the fact that the movie clearly intends all of this tongue in cheek, as a long, silly joke. The problem with the movie is that while a self-parody is always fun, it isn't always a great self-parody. Too many scenes are intended as a joke at the girls' expense, but it isn't developed with any wit or charm or skill. That doesn't mean the film isn't slick; it is. But as a whole the film doesn't live up to its own expectations. There just isn't much depth or purpose, except to show three impossibly talented and beautiful women you simply can't accept as being that talented (though the beautiful part is easy). The girls are well cast. I always find Drew Barrymore to be adorable. Cameron Diaz is fun, and is extremely convincing physically in her stunts. She is not, however, at all convincing as a guy-shy female. Lucy Liu provides good visual and ethnic contrast to the other two, but I don't like the bitchiness of her character, and while I completely applaud using an Asian actress in a major role, I just find her an almost completely unlikable actress, and her semi-dominatrix aura gets very, very old very, very quickly. Undoubtedly this is because I have read too much about her in media gossip rags. I have read that Thandie Newton originally was tagged for the role, and I wish that had happened. In the end, the film just doesn't quite gel, but because it doesn't take itself too seriously, it manages to be fun anyway. This is one of those films that's great to watch on a Saturday night with a bunch of friends, when you can simultaneously enjoy and laugh at what's happening. Laughing is OK; the makers of the film expect you to.

Summary: Pure Fun!!!
Review: With all the rumored problems on set, including the much talked about Lucy Lui-Billy Murray fued and an escalating budget, I didn't know what to expect from this update of the classic 70's TV show. I was pleasantly surprised. Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and of course, Lui are the perfect angels and they can definitely kick...!!! An unexpectedly entertaining blend of comedy and action, Charlie's Angels definitely doesn't fit the typical mold of a remake that never should have been made. Ultra-slick directing. Fun cameos. Cool dance sequences. Awesome stunts. It takes girl power, tosses in some Jimmy Bond, a little Mission Impossible spy mumbo-jumbo, three hot babes kickin' Matrix-type arse, a rockin' soundtrack, cool cars, a cold-cocking start, some fun credit outtakes, inside jokes left and right, and makes it all feel sooooo good. And the girls honestly seem to be having a great time here. Lucy Liu, rock solid as the most well-rounded angel of them all, smart as a whip, sexy as a vamp and tough as nails. Diaz, cute as a button, reminding everyone why we all fell in love with her in THE MASK, and Drew Barrymore, one girl who should be doubly commended for taking part in the production side of this fluffy gem as well. If you expect to take this movie seriously, stop right now and don't bother seeing it. This film is made for people who are looking for a punch-across-the-face kinda time, mixed in with a quick Tequila pick-me-up and a nice, thick, gooey wad o' cheese. This is a high-energy, action packed thrill ride. These angels deliver!!!!

Summary: Charlie's Angels Rock
Review: Charlie's Angels (Superbit Deluxe) is finally here with the release of the sequel coming in less than a month. Included in this DVD are two discs; one with the movie and one with special features. The only differences between this version of the DVD and the original version of the DVD is the fact that it includes a free ticket to go see the sequel (so I'm told) and it includes a behind the scenes look and trailers of the sequel as well. The audio commentary from the original version is missing, but I hear the quality sound of this movie more than makes up for it. Charlie's Angels is an incredible movie. If you want to watch a movie that's fun, sexy and has a ton of special effects, then this is the film for you. The movie was a giant hit at the box office and proved to nay sayers once and for all that their is an audience who enjoy watching women be action stars and having fun while they do it. No one does it better than Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu who play secret agents Dylan, Natalie and Alex. With their super cool accessories and high tech gadgets, the angels fly high on their missions, prepared to be the ultimate angels of destruction. Their use of martial arts and skillful technique more than proves that you don't need guns to be a badass. The story is pretty simple. There's a mad man out to kill Charlie and bring the angels down along with Bosley (played by Bill Murray). With the help of a locator device rigged in a satelite to tap into people's phones, it's up to our three heroines to save the day and rescue their boss, a man they see as a father figure. Charlie's Angels is so great because it combines this drama with alot of silly comedy and a ton of action. The actresses bring their characters to life and give the viewers a sense that they truely get along. The bond the girls share is obvious and it makes the movie that much more charming. Natalie (Diaz) is a sweet, ditzy, fun loving girl with a thing for dancing in her underwear and flirting with everyone from the UPS guy to a bartender named Pete (played by Luke Wilson). She loves Soul Train, Jeopardy and is a terrible driver. Dylan (Barrymore) is a no holds barred rebel with an attitude as fiery as her red hair. She's the least sensible of the trio and always gets herself into trouble, but has the right moves to get herself out. Her boyfriend, Chad (played by Tom Green), is a goofball who lives on a boat. Alex (Liu) is the brain of the operation. With her her dominatrix style martial arts and her skills to defuse bombs, she's the angel most likely to not need the other angels. Her boyfriend, Jason (played by Matt Leblanc), is a less than bright actor. Alot of people compared this movie's action sequences to that of The Matrix, but I think this film takes it up a notch or two. On their own the angels are deadly and ready to defend themselves, but when they're together they're unstoppable. I really loved this movie. The action and special effects are breath taking. The girls are genuinely funny and easy on the eyes. The plot is light and doesn't take itself too seriously and often pokes fun at itself and all the "Charlie's Angels" cliches. It also stars Sam Rockwell, Vivian Lynch and Crispin Glover who turn in three fine performances as evil villians. If you haven't seen this movie, see it. If you don't own it, buy this Superbit Deluxe Edition and enjoy it on the finest format available. Charlie's Angels is a great movie for guys and girls who like to laugh, see a specticle and watch a movie where the girls kick butt.

Summary: One word description: FUN!
Review: I watched this movie on TV (they edited out why Dylan ended up in a towel later), not on DVD, so I can't comment on the DVD version (yet). I watched this with Mom (she watched the TV show before) and my brother and sister and they all liked it. My dad, after he saw the first sequence involving a mask, said, "Well I've had enough of that" and went to bed. My little brother calls it "two hours of ...kickin' action" and he's exactly right. It seems like half the movie is in slow motion to show how cool a scene is (something Tomb Raider needed). It is NOT thought-provoking entertainment, so if you like that, forget about it. The stars weren't extremely too immodestly dressed(this matters to me & Mom). Mom didn't seem disappointed about the adaptation from the series, either. Age recommendation: 9 & up The basic gist: A pretty good and fairly dumb (not a bad thing) movie that was fun (for me, at least) about 3 pretty women kicking [rear-end]. My sister and I want to get it and can hardly wait for the sequel.
My recommendation: at least a rent if you're interested in anything I said up there

Summary: Watch it to goof on it
Review: This movie is possibly the cheesiest movie of all time. The movie steals from Mission Impossible and the Matrix while adding glamour shots that are so hokey you get a little sick to your stomach. But if you look at this movie in its proper context: A ton of money and time and effort was spent on a movie that tries to be Dumb, then maybe you can enjoy it. It's too silly, ridiculous, and cheesy to take seriously. It's impossible to care about, but fun to watch. You'll probably be making fun of the movie throughout. It bugs me to see so much time and effort be put forth for something so absolutely stupid, but some people think stupid is great. Watch it on free TV.

Summary: An Hour and a Half of Fun
Review: I really loved this film simply because of the fact that they don't even take themselves too seriously. Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Lui were all perfect selections in playing the most current Angels. Each of them does a great job at making their characters real people, and someone that you actually enjoy. The fight scenes are incredible, and the story is a lot of fun. If you are looking for a movie that had the potential to win an Oscar, this isn't for you, but if you just want and hour and a half of fun, buy this DVD.

Summary: Take it For What It Is!
Review: This movie, in my opinion was not a let down. I've heard several comments on the film like "They made the angels stupid", "It wasn't serious enough", and "It did not bring justice to the original T.V. Series".
Which may be so,
but maybe it's because I wasn't a fan of the of the '70s hit or maybe it's because I wasn't expecting an Oscar winning drama! But whatever the reason may be I enjoyed this film! Now the sequel 'Charlie's Angel's 2:Full Throttle' looks like they just want to make even MORE money off of the ever popular title.
I may still go see it when it opens in June mainly because I was a fan of the first one but I'm walking into the theatre with my large soda and buttered popcorn expecting to be disappointed.
The very fact that Bill Murray is not returning as Bosley should point this film toward trash can! But, back to the first movie! You can say what you want to about this film but the fact is that if you take it for what it was it isn't a bad movie. And this film was simply a girl powered comedy with unrealistic (But entertaining) action sequences.
