Charlie's Angels Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

Never send a man to do a woman's job.

Awesome action sequences with high-flying explosions, high-speed chases, fascinating and beautifully choreographed martial art sequences, and excellent special effects all directed with flash and style. There are hot women who work in bikinis, lots of guns, a large software company with a ridiculously complicated security system...All the ingredients for fun, senseless, campy eye-candy. And an awful, awful plot, of course.

But it doesn’t really need one. This film is simple light entertainment and doesn’t pretend to be anything else. The actresses all played their parts perfectly, with the right combination of strength and whimsy. The villains were all a bit one dimensional, but again I think that this effect was intentional in a movie that is more about eye candy and being a caricature of itself that it is about plot and character development.

Won 12 awards, mainly for the soundtrack.

Not quite there...

I wasn't sure what I was expecting when I began to watch this movie.

It has some good fight scenes, particularly one where all three angels are fighting a creepy man with a sabre. The co-operation fighting was a nice new element to an action genre which as seen just about everything.

There were some pretty cheesy gimmicks which, I believe, were supposed to play on the original series. Things like an obvious blue screen behind the speedboat, a bad model of a fortress, etc.

But ignorning the cheesiness, the ladies look fantastic fighting and although the story line was weak - it is worth a look.
