Charlie's Angels

Pros: action sequences
Cons: acting, over-acting, extreme over-acting

Now I will admit that I did not go to this movie with the highest expectations in the world, but when I shelled out my $6.50 at the ticket window, there was one thing that I was hoping for: a plot. Now while this movie skirts around the issue of having ...

Pros: Bill Murray and nothing else
Cons: Too many to list-but off the top of my head-special effects, plot & acting

I was but a youngster when Charlie's Angels ran on the small screen. My mom tells me that I used to watch it along with my parents. I don't really remember anything about the television show. Most of what I know about it has come to me over the...

Pros: Well...it looked nice
Cons: I'd rather do homework, attend night school, or date again

I was in the prime of my adolescence and young adulthood when Charlie's Angels played on television. I sat through very few episodes of the series, which ran on Wednesdays on ABC from 1976-1981. I usually found better things to do, like homework...

Pros: Barrymore, Diaz, some gut-wrenching scenes
Cons: plot

Oh yes, we have women doing the butt kicking now! Move over guys, the women are here. Even though I might complain about some minor details about this movie, just ignore me because I thoroughly enjoyed it. There are some scenes throughout the movie that...

Pros: Enough cleavage to please any pervert.
Cons: Someone with an IQ over 60 may not enjoy it.

Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went the Police Academy, and they were each assigned very hazardous duties. But I took them away from all that, and now they work for me. My name is Charlie.


Was Charlie’s...

Pros: Excellent cast and soundtrack
Cons: Some stuff left open (sequel?)

Charlie's Angels is one of the best action films to come out this year. It copies/makes fun of Mission Impossible on so many different levels, and is far superior in almost every respect. The director, McG, known for his wild visual sense as displayed...

Pros: Barrymore, Diaz and (especially) Liu sizzle
Cons: The lackluster script fizzles

The guns are gone, but the jiggle remains.

Charlie’s Angels, the big-budget, big-action, big-screen homage to the campy 1970s TV series, knows when to wink at itself and when to deliver the thrill-per-frame goods. As the new millennium...

Pros: Diaz's Dancing, Barrymore's Bosom, Lucy's Legs, and some truly great action scenes.
Cons: You can almost feel yourself getting dumber as you watch it...but who cares??

Finally, someone figured out the only real way to make a movie from a cheesy old TV show...laugh at it! To say that Charlie's Angels is one of the best of the TV series-based feature films is perhaps damning this entertaining movie...

Pros: Beautiful women, mindless fun
Cons: Camp doesn't blend well with action, Drew Barrymore

How to become a Charlie’s Angel:

1) Be a beautiful, blond, blue-eyed, All-American girl, with a great smile and a knock-out body. Use success from role in popular movie, There’s Something About Mary, to get cast.

2) Be a...

Pros: Interesting Action Sequences...
Cons: Insulting, Sloppy and Uneven

I blame The Matrix, really, for the recent downfall of the action movie. Although, judging by box office numbers of recent action movie releases, I am the only one who thinks the genre has become too silly for its own good.

...

Pros: Beautiful women, fun action, overall feel good, cool role by Crispen Glover
Cons: Choppy plot, Bill Murray's role, no tension build-up

I saw this film the other day at a prerelease and I most definitely have some mixed feelings about it. Overall I did have a fun time watching it but it sure wasn't the sort of fun I generally go to an action movie to expect... Or even the sort of thing...

Pros: A clear demonstration that Hollywood decadence will eat itself.
Cons: A disturbing testament to the fact that the rest of us will watch.

On Fox's short-lived animated series, The Critic, film critic Jay Sherman spelled out a couple of simple rules for the American movie-going public. "If it's a sequel to a sequel," he cautioned, "don't go see it. If it used to be a television...

Pros: Lighthearted fun, lovely stars, Bill Murray RULES!
Cons: Weakish plot, if anybody really cares.

As usual, I refrained from reading advance reviews of this movie - except I could not resist Lakrz Fan's review last night (hey, what can I say, he cracks me up!) when I saw it hit the "Just In" front page.

Thanks for the heads up,...

Pros: no blood splattering violence
Cons: everything else

Lemme get this straight.

Drew Barrymore doesn't like guns, therefore the "elite crime-fighting force" known as Charlie's Angels won't use guns in their movie?

I guess what this means is that Drew Barrymore does like...

Pros: The action scenes
Cons: nothing

For those of you not old enough to remember the television show (I’m one of them), or just simply never watched the show, Angels was about three sexy secret agents who worked for the Charles Townsend Detective Agency. The Angels (and viewers) never saw...
