The ultimate MTV movie
McG directs like a music video director. He uses tons of slowmotion and all sorts of unnecessarily swishy camera moves. He only bothers with enough plot to move the Angels from one location to the next. And almost every second of the movie contains some kind of background music, usually at full volume.

I should add that most of the humor in the film (with the exception of one scene) elicits smiles rather than laughs. Nobody in the film acts very well. The plot is more like a sketch on draft paper than an actual blueprint.

And yet this would be the most purely enjoyable film I've seen in the last two years.

CT: FT never takes itself seriously. It *knows* it's a dumb movie. It *knows* its audience has come to see a dumb movie. So McG doesn't have any hesitation in showing us stuff like the Angels driving a truck over a dam wall and flying a helicopter (!) to safety. Or a motorcross race that includes one guy flipping himself upside-down above his handlebars and firing two pistols at our heroes. Or a main character (Demi Moore's, in fact) literally flying.

Music video directors are supposed to come from the armpit of Satan or something, but McG's bacground doesn't seem to have hurt his style much. He times things perfectly, always knowing when to cut to give maximum impact to the fight scenes. (You may find yourself wincing in sympathy for some of the bad guys). He keeps it all moving, switching from scene to scene at just the right time and somehow holding our interest despite the flimsy plot. And he somehow avoids cliche (unless the point of a scene is to knowingly invoke cliche) - this doesn't look like any other movie.

So many of the criticisms of this movie are off base. "The plot is weak" - it doesn't matter. "Style over substance" - tell us something we can't see for ourselves. Think of it like this: CA: FT is an amusement park ride. There's nothing *wrong* with amusement park rides. We're all happy to shell out our money for them 'cause we get shot full of adrenaline and leave laughing at the end. Now movies *can* be so much more - a film like The Godfather or Apocalypse Now is a work of art that can deepen your understanding of the world - but did The Godfather make you want to stand on your seat and shout "HELL YEAH!"?

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle is a Hell Yeah movie. And if you didn't like it, watch out, because there's a lot more movies like it coming.

UGH!!
Can movies get any worse than this? With Very Little actual plot line, the only thing left is a feminine butt kicking movie in which 3 strong women, who wear(it seems) Bikini's for half of the movie, are just going scene to scene kicking butt and blowing up stuff(sound familar people?). Its a movie that has been done before a 1000 times over in the past 10 years, and it is getting extremely old. Lets move on to something better.
