Production Year: 2000 - Action/Adventure - Director: Joseph McGinty - Original Language: English - Classification: 15 years and over - Starring:Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, Bill Murray, Kelly Lynch, Tim Curry, Sam Rockwell, Crispin Glover more
Advantages: Anything that has Cameron Diaz in it, wet and 'unzipped' to the waist has got to get 5 stars Disadvantages: not sure Lucy Liu was the right casting for the 3rd 'Angel'
Shamelessly and gratuitously sexist. Flashy, trashy nonsense. And don’tcha just love it to death!
Well that was what I thought after I’d watched the re-vamped Charlie’s Angels back at the Cinema some two years ago. I confess to having the ‘hots’ for Cameron Diaz (And what red blooded male does not?) and would not push Drew Barrymore out of bed either – so those two facts in themselves drew (no pun intended) me to this movie at first.
This is, ...

...decent reviews at the time, Charlie's Angels was a movie I personally had vowed to avoid as being just another lame Hollywood attempt to cash in on the successes of retro TV shows. Having already suffered the atrocious mess they made of The Avengers that year as well as having sat through the likes of The Partridge Family, The Beverly Hillbillies, Mission Impossible, Wild, Wild West(yes, that was based on a 60s TV show no one remembers) and countless ...

Advantages: So camp it's great Disadvantages: An extra 20 minutes wouldn't have gone a miss!
Charlie’s Angels arrived in the post on the Thursday morning; we watched it that afternoon, again on Friday with friends and again on Saturday with some more friends! I plan on watching it again, and again and again, and I firmly believe this could become one of my favourites before too long.
I had heard mixed reviews about the film whose production seemed to be plagued by mishaps and problems, and at one point was almost not made because ...

NOTE: This was originally filed under the TV series because I couldnt find Charlies Angels. I didn't realise about the rogue apostophes so apologies if you've already read this. I've rewritten the original so you can go back check and rerate if you want. It should be next to this in my list.
I finally got round to watching “Charlie’s Angels” and actually it was quite fun. Everyone seemed to be having a great time, there are lots ...

Advantages: Funny, entertaining, great characters Disadvantages: A bit too cheesy for some
Alex (Lucy Liu), Natalie (Cameron Diaz) and Dylan (Drew Barrymore) have all come from very different backgrounds to end up working for Charlie. Charlie is someone who likes to keep his identity secret therefore giving away nothing for enemies to possibly use against him. Charlie communicates with the girls who he refers to as his Angels through a speaker box controlled by Bosley (Bill Murray).
When the Angels hear of a kidnapping they are immediately ...

Advantages: good effects, all 3 fine looking angels!! Disadvantages: cheesy, paper thin plot
Yet again I find myself writing a review on a film. I really do need to get a life LOL !!! However, I enjoy watching movies that much I may as well put my “Barry Norman” head on again and give you the low down on the latest film I’ve watched. And why not? (said in Barry Norman-esque voice!)

Advantages: Action, Comedy, Tom Green and three babes Disadvantages: That damn Destiny's Child song
Let's get one thing straight at the start: this film is not trying to be the original series, it is simply a big spoof of itself. I didn't get this the first time i saw it so, as a result, I didn't like it. If you watch it as a pointless action comedy that's just being entertainment, then it's an enjoyable film. Right from the start of the film, when LL Cool J hurls himself and a diamond smuggler out of the door of a passenger plane, you know that ...

Advantages: The Action, The Soundtrack, Good Cast. Disadvantages: Nothing!
I’ve always been a huge fan of movies where Women kick ass! And this movie had it all, action, comedy, romance and really knew how to get ya going! I’ve seen the 70's TV show and it was ok for that era but this is total makeover and I loved it!
The movie is all about a guy who gets kidnapped and has his special software stolen and the angels need to uncover the mystery, which equals loads of excellent fight scenes and loads of action. The fights ...

Back in the seventies when I was a young boy just getting interesting in girls I used to love to watch the beautiful Charlie’s Angles solve crimes in their sexy manner. Imagine my excitement, albeit it hidden (I’m 34 and shouldn’t be excited at Charlie’s Angels!) when I found out about the movie.

...also seen some real howlers. Charlie's Angels has both feet firmly in the first category, and is easily one of the best movies of it's genre, ever.
Yes, it's cheesy. Yes, it's slickly produced. But, unlike so many recent films to which that description could be easily applied (Hollow Man, The Cell), Angels is so obviously aware of it's own blatant ridiculousness. For this, it is to be applauded. Sitting through MI:2, another 70's action-based TV ...

There’s no way around it: Charlie’s Angels is fun! It’s silly, cheesy and entirely foolish and it’s the most entertaining movie I’ve seen all year
The Charlie’s Angels for the new millennium are Natalie (the ever-vibrant Cameron Diaz), Dylan (the suddenly buxom Drew Barrymore) and Alex (the intense Lucy Liu). These girls use their looks and their fighting skills to solve crimes.
In the movie, rich mogul ...

Advantages: It's fun, loud and action packed Disadvantages: Story...Where?
Charlies Angels was always going to be different from the 60’s original that it’s based on, but you just don’t expect what appears before your eyes when you start watching this film. Action hits you from all sides from the moment you start watching and it never stops for a moment.
So what’s the story? The Angels (Lucy Liu, Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz) are a crack female band of detectives that solve difficult crime, ...

There are action sequences aplenty are they are all really impressive. The sequences were put together by the people behind The Matrix's martial arts fighting sequences and you will leave the cinema exhilarated by their sheer brilliance. Bill Murray and the girls inject lots of humour into the film. Unfortunately, ...

What can I say about this movie? Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and my all time top chick Drew Barrymore running around being sexy and kicking butt. FANTASTIC. But is there anything more to this movie?
I do not know too much about the original series of Charlie’s Angels what with me being a young chap. I have seen a few episodes of it and it never really made too much of an impression. With all these remakes of old series that are springing up I ...
