Charlie's Angels - Full Throttle (Special Unrated Widescreen Edition) Customer Reviews (64 - 65 of 65 Reviews)

To preface my comments, I absolutely loved the first one. Loved it. And I'm a guy who roots for a movie to be good; I'm no critic or "film buff". I am a fan of movies and you gotta' really pooch-it big time for me to give it a thumbs down. Man, this thing stinks on its own terms. Within the context of the world the first movie created so wonderfully, this movie is a betrayal of everything that made you want to see another Charlie's Angels flick. Where to begin? First, the action scenes are boring. When they're silly it's an improvement. The special effects are, simply, BAD. There is no suspension of belief whatsoever and the majority of the fight work is OBVIOUSLY computer generated. PU. Second, what the hell did they do to the girls? The way their makeup and lighting was done makes them look... spoiled somehow, over exposed. Either way, it's disturbing. I'm not the dude who's checking out the wardrobe, but you can't get around it. They look like the goal was to make them look overcooked or something. It's so profound and in your face that it's actually distracting, even to someone who would normally care less. Third, the things about the movie that made you like the characters are GONE. They're bimbo-fied in the worst way imaginable. The fact that there are large portions of this movie where you have no idea what's happening won't bother you much because you will not care. I went from a full plate of positive thoughts about these characters to hoping the movie would end ASAP. Fourth, oh man, what the hell did they do to Bernie Mack? You will forever respect Bill Murray for managing to limit his association with this lump of crap to appearing in a photograph for about 5 seconds. Poor Bernie - who is very funny - is turned into some kind of nimrod. Fifth, a ten year old could watch and enjoy the first film, and so could an adult. This movie has content that is not cool for kids. It adds nothing and ruins the film for younger viewers. Not a huge deal, but one more example of the back stab this steamy dog pile represents.

I could go on and on. I guess my point is this; it's not just bad, it seems to have been designed to sabotage the warm feelings and enjoyment anyone ever got out of the first movie. I suppose this is actual mild anger, and I am venting. I'm sort of sorry, but not anything like a grief you'll feel if you see this heap.

Girls are hot
The whole movie was pretty good. And the three girls are mad hot.
