Advantages: none Disadvantages: waste of money. waste of precious time.
This film was really disappointing, i was expecting something good-really good. The 70's version was supposedly wicked and the Songs Destiny's Child's independant woman and the All saints song are pretty good too. Then of course there's the acting of Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz which is normally pretty good too. Well okay so the acting wasn't that bad but the rest was. So there i was expecting to have the time of my life and watch the best film ...

Quick review of Charlie's Angels (DVD)
A proper GIRL POWER film, lots of girlie, chick- flick moments combined with action and the girls kicking ass. Really catchy music throughout. Defanatly someone of any age can enjoy. Oh and your boyfriend wont mind watching it with you because the girls are all stunning :) ...

Advantages: nice clothes Disadvantages: bad storyline
As soon as i saw the cast list for this film i thought "i have to go and see this" Unfortunately it was not that amazing. It was a typical storyline of girls kicking guys butts. Yes the stunts were very good and it was very good acting but the story line was not imagainative and well to be honest it was quite boring. The clothes that the girls were the best bit of the movie. I sat there thinking oooh i want that or that is such a gorgeous dress. ...

Advantages: Will keep you out the rain for an hour or so Disadvantages: I'll be here too long!
I went to see this film not knowing very much about the storyline, but left the cinema with the realisation that there is NO storyline. I knew I had made the wrong decision as soon as the film began to show signs of hair flicking and fake laughter. Ok, so you have to take this film as a spoof- it's meant to be stupid, but it was too stupid to be funny. Back to the storyline, or should I say the lack of it. The film stretched the sorry excuse for ... ...I said, far too cheesey to be funny. The film does have its fair share of action scenes but whereas in some films the stunts look realistic- the use of ropes was far too obvious. You could say that this is in keeping with the 'tongue-in-cheek' mood to the film, but it looked ridiculous.
I think that your view of this film depends on whether you like ultimate cheesey movies, but for me it was a vision of hell. ...

Advantages: None that I can see Disadvantages: Plenty!
...film I was not expecting Charlie's Angels to be earth shatteringly good. However I was expecting to have a bit of a laugh and to be entertained. I found the whole thing to be painfully unwatchable. Right from the begining with the mission impossible mask spin-off, I was not impressed! and it didn't get better from there. The director's commentory was basically focusing on the way the girls looked more than the plot! and to me it showed! Even Bill ...

Advantages: The characters play there parts well Disadvantages: Storyline could be a bit better
I have watched Charlies Angels a couple of times now and i think it is really good. It is an action thriller and very enjoyable. The girls fighting was very good although i think it is a copy of the Matrix a bit.
I like the idea of how they put you in suspense of knowing who Charlie is. When you think they might tell you who he actually is when they dont.
The story line is quite good although it diverts a bit sometimes and it could be betta.

Advantages: Fun, great direction Disadvantages: cheesy
This film is great! Light-hearted, funny, great stunts - almost believable!, great direction and casting. If you liked the direction in Mission Impossible 2, then you'll like this. Lots of slow-mo fighting scenes, which are very well choreographed and performed. The fighting scenes are very TEKKEN-like lots of impossible moves that look very good on camera and not a bruise in sight.
Cameron Diaz is cute, Drew Barrymore is wild and Lucy Liu is sexy. ... ...their bodies for a 15 rated film for all the young lads in the audience to be happy. Cameron’s unrelenting grin does get a bit tedious after a while but she makes up for it with her excellent betrayal of the dippy, sweet Natalie.
If you want to see a film that’s cheesy, fun and action packed this is for you!! ...

Advantages: There are none. Disadvantages: Waste of time and money
I saw Charlie's Angels recently, and I have to say that I wasn't the least bit impressed. We have a trio of copycats who zoom through air, across land and sea with borrowed stunts from almost every other action movie. This no-brainer has MTV and Matrix touches, particularly in fight sequences with slow-motion shots, spruced up angles and special effects. This is all to make the fighting scenes more powerful and explosive, but to tell you the truth, ... ...more style, they could have gotten actresses who were actually trained in martial arts, for example, Michelle Yeoh who acted as Mei Ling in the James Bond movie "Tommorrow Never Dies". But instead, they got three of the most currently popular actresses who are totally unbelievable as butt-kicking angels. It is a mindless movie that just takes the piss out of things. For instance, the Angels have the uncanny ability to dodge bullets and fall from ...

Advantages: Cameron Diaz Disadvantages: Plot (Evidently lost the plot I think)
What?What?What?
That's all I asked myslef all the way through this shameful film. It wasn't that I didn't understand the (weak, drastically weak) plot, oh no. It was the fact that one girl could do 10 flips in a room full of lasers and jump backwards 10ft into the air and still not hit a laser. Then she fell into a crab so she could get a terribbly important computer microchip. I asked myself, how stupid does the director of this film think we, ...

Advantages: Outtakes on Special Features, 15 mins of other stuff Disadvantages: Import from America and having a Region 1 enabled DVD player!
I have been buying DVD's almost since they came out and have found that the American DVD releases seem to be more packed with Extra's and other features than the regular UK ones. The only problem that I had found was the import charge when ordering from a company based in the US but I have since found a number of relatively cheap importers based in the UK who especially with pre-ordering can get you a product that is both cheaper than the standard ...

This is a film that is cleverly structured with a cheesy but good sstory line. THE ANGELS- Dilion, Alex and Natalie (Drew Barrymore, Lucy Lui and Cameron Diaz) are special agents working for Charlie, they have never seen Charlie before. The characters are so individual and it is very nice to see Lucy Lui smile after being associated with her bitchy character "Ling" in the famous TV sit-com series "Ally McBeal". For all you men out there it's a great ...

Advantages: Very funny Disadvantages: Not much of a good storyline
. I was recently went to see Charlies Angels with my friends but I didn't expect it to be all that good considering I don't often like action movies. I thought it would all be fighting and have no story line. I actually really enjoyed it and it was really funny.The soundtrack is also brilliant and makes the film even better. It had a fairly good story line too. It is a very good film to see with your friends on a night out, This is film that everyone ...

I wasn't too sure what to expect for this film. I don't remember ever seeing the TV series, and had read contradicting reviews. I was dragged of by my friends without a clue.
I was pleasantly surprised. This film is really funny- especially Cameron Diaz's character, Natalie. Some of the plot is totally unbelievable, but who cares? Funny lines are delivered with flawlessly straight faces, some points are cringe-worthy, but you'll come out not remembering ...

Advantages: Special effects. Beautiful Women Disadvantages: Jokes, storyline
This was one of those films that I was very eager to watch after I had seen the trailer. But I have to say I was quite disapointed. The story line was plain stupid, and I found most of the comedy quite annoying. However if you are into silly comedy spoofs (which I'm not) I probably would recommend this to you. I just wasn't expecting the film to be like that, which is probably why I was so disapointed.
The acting though I suppose was up to standard, ... ...they weren't so unrealistic.
For me, Loucie Lou was a bit out of place in the film, as We're used to seeing her in slightly more serious films like James Bond, (even though Bond films aren't much better).
But if your into specail effects, silly humour and good looking ladies, this films for you. ...

Advantages: It was helpful because you knew the basis of the angels Disadvantages: At times it did just make you think of the series but you were'nt dissapointed
The movie was not only full of a great starring cast but the story line was good as well. Although you expect for a film that goes on for too long and ruining the series from a few years ago it managed to entertain and impress you all the way through. There was action and a few parts made me think of the next bond movies but played by three ladies instead. It had style and wit and managed to keep the whole secrecy of Charlie with out making you too ...
