Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle DVD > Reviews

Advantages: fast paced, great action, gorgeous people
Disadvantages: you'll either love it or really, really hate it

...is the beauty of the Charlie's Angels, once you get past the obvious unbelievability of the entire thing, you're in for the ride of your life. If you thought the first film was action packed and fast-paced, you really ain't seen nothin' yet! This is a sequel, but there's no real need to see the first film to explain anything, unsurprisingly, this film doesn't centre around a complicated plot and deep character analysis. Though it does have a plot, ... Read review

Advantages: Turn your brain off film!
Disadvantages: Can you turn it back on?

Last summer just as the holidays started I typically caught a really bad cold. I am almost certain I was dying and, no I'm not being melodramatic, and it was then that I first saw Angels bathed in a heavenly glow! To be more precise it was Charlies Angels and the glow was coming from the tv screen, but you get the picture. Their ass kicking antics, snappy musical numbers and Charlies soothing voice all worked together to ease my fevered brain and ... Read review

Advantages: Sexy girls, good effects
Disadvantages: Lack of plot, any opportunity for an explosion is grabbed

...of place. And that is how Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle starts. From that piece you can basically gather everything you need to know about the rest of the film: Diaz is the kooky, fun-loving one, Barrymore is tough tomboy, and Lui is the stylish classy flexible one, the plot doesn't matter at all, the angels always win, with ne'er even smudging their lipstick, and they do all of this in ridiculous heels. Full Throttle is an appropriate name. ... Read review

Advantages: Non thinking fun and action
Disadvantages: Seen that story line before...

...TV series or the first Charlie's Angels film. So why was this so familiar? Then it hit me. James Bond. The Matrix. Baywatch. Yes, that was it!! It covered all these films in one! I can picture the scene in the Columbia Pictures film planning room. Drew Barrymore, the sexy producer, talking sideways out of her mouth again to John August, one of the writers? Drew: "I'm running out of small change ? I want to make a film that will make more .. ... Read review

Advantages: Great fun, good action scenes, good performances, funny.
Disadvantages: The action at times can be a bit cringe worthy.

I am a self-confessed chick flick lover. I love the kind of movies where girls kick ass rather than the guys, so I when I heard about Charlie’s Angels, I had to see it, and when I did I loved it! Obviously after the massive success a sequel was inevitable, so that’s where “Full Throttle” comes in. I went to see the first Charlie’s angel movie on the first day it was out and I went to see this one too and all I can say is, that it’s a brilliant film! ... Read review

Advantages: Fun, entertaining, holds your interest, something for everyone.
Disadvantages: Perhaps not a strong enough plot, too shallow for some.

Yesterday, I had a child-free few hours, so went out with Emily (Ophelia). One of the things we did was to go to the cinema and see the new Charlie’s Angels film. I loved the original TV series (with ‘my’ Angels being Cheryl Ladd, Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson) and had bought the video of the first film, but I still haven’t got round to watching it! Emily had and assured me it was really good, so we were both looking forward ... Read review

Advantages: Entertaining, silly fun
Disadvantages: Silly plot, very very dumb

Charlies angels was a lot of harmless fun and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Essentially all the same rules apply to this sequel. everybody returns except bill murray for some more high kicking antics. the story involved some guff about the witness protection scheme in the us. All the names of those in the scheme are housed on two rings, useless apart but when together a real threat. Basically the information is of great use to the ... Read review

Advantages: The Angels, Bernie Mac, humour, innuendo.
Disadvantages: OTT action sequences, lack of plot.

...However, I watched the first Charlie's Angels movie and I liked it! The first movie was an enjoyable no brain popcorn romp featuring three beautiful women kicking ass in skimpy outfits while performing Matrix-lite kung fu. Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle is like that, but there's more. Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (CAFT from now on) suffers from sequelitis. Sometimes, this is a good thing (Aliens, Terminator 2, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey) and ... Read review

Advantages: Good fast action no brainer
Disadvantages: Very weak script and story

Don’t even consider watching this film if you aren’t prepared to leave your brain in the foyer. One and a half hours of air-headed action, barely believable stunts and a story which frankly wouldn’t challenge a two year old. But what did I really think? Great film, that’s what, I wanted to be entertained and bombarded by special effects and mild titillation, Full Throttle delivered on all counts. The Angels, Cameron Diaz; Drew Barrymore; Lucy ...

Advantages: Fast pace, good soundtrack
Disadvantages: Unbelievable stunts, no plot.

Every now and again - and especially now it seems, again and again and again - Hollywood runs out of ideas and makes a sequel or a remake. This movie is one of those sequels. The plot is so thin that you can see it through a tissue. Two special rings (which hold details of the American Witness Protection Program ) are stolen and are to be sold to the highest bidder. The Angels – Natalie, Dylan and Alex - of course spring into action to save the ... Read review

Advantages: easy to watch
Disadvantages: not particularly original

After a busy day at work I was looking forward to a movie that didn't require too much thinking from the audience- and that is exactly what Charlies Angels: Full Throttle provided. The Plot Based on the 70's T.V. series, Charlies Angels is a private investigators firm ran by Charlie, who hires 3 "Angels"- who detect the crime and fight it. In this movie the 3 angels (Lucy Lui- Alex, Drew Barrymore- Dylan and Cameron Diaz- Natalie) are called ... Read review

Advantages: THE ANGELS
Disadvantages: THE WHOLE THING BUT ITS FUN

Charlie's Angels : Full Throttle sees the return of the film's original three angels, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz as they try to get to the root of a problem concerning two rings which are connected to the Witness Protection programme. For those who don't know, this flick was produced by Drew Barrymore and directed by somebody called, rather amusingly, McG. Although I've never heard about McG before, the first film by this director, ... Read review
