Summary: McG's Angels
Review: T.V shows can be tricky to translate into films (The Avengers, anyone?). So when word got around that a movie based on the series Charlie's Angels was to be made, sceptics, purists and jaded critics were waiting for disaster. But what eventuated was less than disasterous, and despite some negative reviews, was a huge box office hit (one can probably attribute the film's B.O to Drew Barrymore's low-cut top and Cameron Diaz dancing around in her underwear). Regardless, the end result is somewhat dissapointing, considering the effort involved during the "troubled" production. The holy trinity of Barrymore, Diaz and Lucy Liu provides for some serious girl power action, and the main audience (guys) like it for the ever-present eye-candy. What does let the film down, is that this is one of the countless subsequent action flicks put into motion after The Matrix, that over does the "flow-mo" action styled-high kicks. The thing is, the Matrix worked, because it's an alternate reality, a video game of sorts, wheareas Angels is supposidly set in reality. Nagging aside, is it any fun? Well, if you like unrealistic action, a plot so thin it almost pales to the insignificance and so many implausible moments it's hard to take it seriously. And that's the film's main problem, as much as you want to like it, there are so many little nagging annoyances that spoil the otherwise sporadically frenetic fun. It does work, however, if you're just looking for a flick that's good-natured, brainless popcorn, but if what you want is a solid action film with REALISTIC action, look elsewhere. But it is Hollywood flash-trash at it's most enjoyable.

Summary: Not the best
Review: I don't really get why people say Charlie's Angels is good. Not that it's bad, but just isn't PERFECT as people say. They try to go for those Martial Art stuff, but I think that isn't even called fighting. That's called Dancing to Avoid the Attack. Well, different ppl, different opinions. No offence, but I would not recommend this unless you don't mind OK-standards comedies.

Summary: OH, YEAH!
Review: I love this ever-so-perfect movie. You all probably remember the
TV show back in the 1970's. Now, you can get yourself hooked on
this. This perfect film that is no doubt much better than the TV
show. Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu are perfect for
the roles. So, if you liked the tv show, you'll love this.

Review: Charlie's Angels is not the best movie in world, but it sure is a heck of a good time. Lots of exciting action, hilarious comedy, not to mention the DVD contains quite a few cool features to boot. Can't wait for the sequel!

Summary: Pass the popcorn!
Review: Charlie's Angels never pretends to be anything but what it is -- an extended music video montage of highly stylized scenes, sexiness and feminine butt-kicking fun. People looking for serious acting, dialogue, or a plot that makes sense need not attend. Enjoy it for what it is. A popcorn movie that doesn't suck. BTW, the DVD is absolutely packed full of extras, despite only coming on one DVD. (That's because the movie is just 90 minutes, so they have plenty of room for extras on the clothing, special effects, the goofy director, the music videos, three deleted scenes, et al).

Summary: Silly
Review: This movie is waste of time! The story is extremely silly! Yes, there is action, sexy girls... but that's all. The plot is silly, events are weak and dialogue is terrible. Some said, "if you liked Mission Impossible you'd like this movie"! This is an insult. MI is great movie but this one is silly!

Summary: Good Clean Fun
Review: It looks as though everyone involved with this movie set out to have a really good time. From the funky soundtrack to the absurdly unrealistic fight scenes, the movie fairly reeks of enjoyment. And so, watched with this in mind I found that I was captured by it's mood too. It looks to me as if Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu are actually living out their girlhood fantasies during scenes imitating such movies as Saturday Night Fever and The Matrix. Getting continually hit and kicked in the face and yet, coming away unscathed, coming within spitting distance of numerous explosions but remain unaffected by the concussive forces. Yep, this is a true Hollywood action movie - and not a Jean-Claude or an Arnie to be seen. It's all good clean fun with the tongue lodged firmly in the cheek. An indication of the kind of audience that would truly enjoy this movie is to mention that my 6 year old daughter and 4 year old son were totally spellbound. For the record, my son liked "the girl with the white hair" the best (I think it was her bottom dance in her undies that won him over).

Summary: "I hope you're rested and ready for your next assignment"
Review: Charlie's Angels is an insubstantial and entertaining dose of girl power. Although it will probably never be included in a list of 'alltime great films' it is nevertheless an enjoyable escape into a world where beautiful women kick-box their way out of danger, and manage to foil the bad guy's plans; all without smudging their makeup. Alex, Dylan and Natalie are an incredibly sexy crime-fighting trio, backed by an anonymous millionaire named Charlie. These Angels are the absolute epitome of cool. They can change from evening dress to street clothes in a matter of seconds, out-fight any number of evil henchmen, and disable a helicopter whilst hanging from the landing skids. And they manage to have a whole lot of laughs in the process; however if you're not a big fan of girlie giggles, this may start to grate after a while. The movie begins with a high-speed action sequence involving an attempted airplane hijacking which the Angels seemingly effortlessly manage to foil - this montage is perhaps emblematic of the rest of the film. The 'teamwork' motif is heavily emphasised, with the camera frequently (and occasionally annoyingly) cutting between the Angels whenever they're not in the same place at the same time. Visually stunning Matrix-style action sequences are peppered throughout the fast-paced script and these are well worth watching, even if only to marvel at how efficiently the fabulous trio of Lucy Liu, Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz dispatch with the baddies whilst wearing designer clothing and high heels. Charlie's Angels is not a movie that is likely to alter lives or provoke deep thought, but instead it can be enjoyed purely as fun escapism. And after all, isn't that what movies are supposed to be all about?
