When I saw this film I really enjoyed it! I have to say that it is a very good updated remake compared to the TV series. It has a nice sort of irony and makes fun of itself in a fun way. It does not take itself seriously. The angels are just as cool and competent as you would like and Charlie as mysterious. It is nice to see fight scenes where the ladies kick butt without male assistance and the male villians bite the dust properly. The fight scenes has stolen the good bits from Matrix and the Hong Kong genre and the photage has a very comic book feel to it. The story is told in a way that keeps the tempo and the bad guys are just SO cool and nasty they can get and they know about it. There are some good special effects including F1 inner city high speed pursuit, the biggest explosion in five counties, string fights and much more. If you are in the mood for two hours worth of entertainment and don't care too much for the Ingmar Bergman approach then this is something for you! Kick back, put your feet up and just roll with it!

With film opinions it's more helpful if you provide an out line of the story (but no spoilers!) to help readers decide if it's the sort of film they'd like to watch.

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
