I must admit that Cameron Diaz, Drew Berrymore and Lucy Liu, the new century three angels (Natalie, Dylan and Alex) who worked for a billionare named Charlie (who never showed his face in the movie as in the TV sitcom), who really have put countless efforts on the movie. As I know from all the information and reviews of the movie, the three attractive actresess have to learn martial arts 6-7 hours per day from a action director from Hong Kong (who has directed a lot of fantastic action movies but in Mandarin and Cantonese) and it has been like that for four months.
There is not many gun shooting in the movie which I think that it is a good change in Hollywood movies. There are too many gun shooting scenes in most of the Hollywood movies. Instead, they fight against the bad guys barely with their hands and also their legs (well that is the main selling point of the movie which I love most). I think this is why it makes this movie so special.
The story is very simple. A guy is kidnapped because of his powerful voice recognition software but he is actually the bad guy... blah blah blah. Well, I think the main selling point of this movie is really the three angels, playing kung fu, and showing off their beauties. Perhaps some of the audiences will find the movie not that satisfied. However, I think if you treat it as an sole entertaining movie, then you will enjoy it. In fact, the scenes of fighting is very exciting and interesting. At least I like it. Well I reckon it is worth-to-see movie.

Can't wait until I have a free moment to go and see this. By the way, the new Get Carter has relocated to Seattle and looks very very poor. I can't really see Stallone's delivery of lines like, 'A pint of bitter...in a thin glass', matching Caine's.

Review of Charlie's Angels (DVD)
Advantages: Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz... Disadvantages: The most stupid film ever, even worse than The Avengers, possibly as bad as Batman and Robin
