Charlie's Angels

So phenomenal that Bill Murray can't even steal it. And he tries. So excellent that Murray's MTV progeny Tom Green can't sink it.

Charlie's Angels is finally Cameron Diaz's movie. Her Natalie has a heart as insecure as her body is smokin'.

Who cares about the fate of privacy, of all things, when you can watch three sexy babes stamp out crime in zip-off suits and high-heeled boots?

The dialogue includes double entendres that are rather clever, if you're mentally at the age of 11.

The cheesy disco action scenes are topped only by the movie's ripe double entendres and continual cheesecake.

So inconsequential that it starts evaporating from memory the minute it's over.

It's a movie without a brain. Charlie's Angels is like the trailer for a video game movie, lacking only the video game, and the movie.

Charlie's Angels ROCKS! I love the original movie, great cast, although Cameron Diaz sure knows how to do the Soul Train line. For some reason, I like the original TV series starring the late Farrah Fawcett is a sure fire classic. I don't know if I'm going to watch the reboot of the series, but I don't like the new cast at all. It's wrong and nobody wants to see a Charlie's Angels reboot. All we want is a third movie. So please, Sony. Make with the third movie, already.

This is the perfect Valentine's Day movie to watch. Campy, fun, and hilarious! I loved it!

This movie is not a favourite, but it is entertaining. It is a bit loud in places, and the script has its ups and downs. The film is about three women who try to find a kidnapped computer boffin, and the prime suspect is a man named roger Corwin. It turns out that the kidnapping was a set up, to kill their boss, so it's up to the girls to stop him. The music does get a bit much, but it is common in films like these. The stunts were actually better than in most Jean Claude Van Damme movies. On the acting front, the acting is a mixed bag. Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore were great fun as the girls, while Bill Murray gives great comic relief as Bosley. Sam Rockwell isn't really up to my liking, but you would disagree. Tim Curry has been better, but in a small role, he was good too, as were Crispin Glover and Kelly Lynch. Worth watching, but avoid the sequel! 6.5/10 Bethany Cox

What can one say about a movie where the Writer/Director has to try to Man-Shame people to watch it. I am trying to take this with a grain of salt giving credit to her past body of work as an Actress. This is really hard considering the fact that most of Hollywood has lost the point of Movies. We give our hard earned money to be entertained, I think that we need to start calling the The Ghost Buster Reboot Phenomenon or (TGBRP) for short. Are we now expected to rate movie on a Cinematic Bell Curve. So will I have to rate the Departed an amazing film from Martin Scorsese the same as Independent film of a Transsexual, Bi-polar, half Nigerian half Burmese midget Muslim atheist walking in circles in a mind field for 90 minutes just as highly as the former. Should we do this because of the adversity that was over come by the film maker in their life. Nope, I am stopping this here, Charlie's had problems from start to finish, weak to nonexistent plot, bad writing, no real driving force behind any part of it. The acting was okay to good at times however this is not an issue of a Blind Watchmaker more of a case of a Un-Edited writer a near sighted Director and an innate ability to blame others for personal inability. I am done. If you want to show people how good women can be put good actresses in good movies.

This was one of the first DVDs I owned, when I first watched it I was overwhelmed by the fast-paced action, the energetic characters and so on, but here I sit with a feeling of mind-numbing insecurity, it's a truly terrible film, but I still find it watchable. The film is one long advert, it promotes all sorts of sexualised comedy, with almost every scene consisting of a slow-motion clip of one these tightly clad Angels flipping their hair, carefully flexing behind or running from an impending explosion, it's big, dumb, sometimes fun but certainly not serious. Our three Angels are Natalie (Cameron Diaz), Dylan (Drew Barrymore) and Alex (Lucy Liu). They are tasked with retrieving the creator of expensive technology and the tech itself, but as the plot thickens, so does the script, with a soundtrack that you would work out to, perhaps that is the point of the film, an expensive workout routine, with many scenes present that you start to question why you are watching it, but then laugh about it at a later time. The angels on show are obviously pretty, they flaunt, flex and frolic across the screen, the film does no justice to the these three talented actresses, but the movie is tolerable for its sometimes comedic moments, particularly the use of sex appeal for the three stars, and the presence of Bill Murray, who really seems to be acting as himself in the picture, so no complaint necessary. While the action sequences are dramatic and over zealous, some of them work in an effective way The films many faults outweigh its better attributes, the talented cast, which also includes Sam Rockwell and Tim Curry, the chemistry between the three leads is also a highlight, but these aside, it's a one explosion at every corner flick, high on adrenaline and dumb fun, but low on everything else. McG has an eye for the glitz and exaggeration, but this mess of a film may truly be down to this approach. Its loud, silly and is easily forgettable, but at least it never took itself too seriously throughout, that would have been truly awkward indeed.
