Charlie's Angels - Full Throttle (Special Unrated Widescreen Edition) Customer Reviews (22 - 24 of 65 Reviews)

FUN means playfulness & amusement. Look it up for yourself!
I think it's hilarious how some people just hate this movie so much. To me, that's like saying you hate roller-coasters because they don't actually go anywhere, or that you hate video-games because you don't really win anything. The point is to have fun! I guarantee you just about everyone involved in the Charlie's Angels movies were in it to have fun, utilizing comedy, sexiness, and balls-to-the-wall action, all in the hopes of making a fun movie for the summer. You have to keep in mind, sometimes bad things happen in our lives that makes the evening news look like Sesame Street, and we need the occasional silly movie to lighten us up. We can't all be grim & serious ALL the time, trust me on this. There's plenty of room for silly movies as well as the serious ones, and as far as silly movies go, this is actually one of the better ones to see. Besides, if you STILL didn't know what you were getting into even after seeing the trailers, then no one can help you, you're on your own.

1/2* Say Halo to the Angels
The eagerly anticipated sequel to the hit Charlie Angels in 2000 returns with a big bang with a double whammy in fun and preposterous sass. Like a glossy MTV of an action-comedy, Natalie (Diaz),Alex (Lucy Liu) and Dylan (Barrymore) provide eye-popping stunts that segue from jumping out of planes, a motorcycle race and dishing out graceful acrobatics and kongfu. Never mind the flimsy plot of ferreting out the mastermind behind the theft of two rings secreting information of FBI witness program. This movie is a joyous celebration of the chemistry and girl power when the trio hams it up like the bestest of friends. Cameos includes the comically larcenous Matt LeBlanc, John Cleese, Crispin Glover as the returning Thin Man, Luke Wilson and ex-angel Jaclyn Smith. Snazzy costumes, retro-dances and an unexpected treat in the form of Demi Moore striking out her first appearance after a three-year hiatus as Madison the villain gets things pumped up with energy and zest. The girls are so infectiously fun that this sequel delivers top notch angel-delic entertainment.

Awesome Angels!
There was no question that the extremely popular, highly profitable 2000 film version of the TV series,Charlie's Angels, would have a sequel. And now, here it is, with the three beautful and talented ladies returning to their roles. This time, they are joined by 'original' angel Kelly Garett, played by Jaclyn Smith, and 'fallen' angel Madison Lee, played by a beautifully remade Demi Moore. Clever cameos add to the excitement, making this installment as good as the first.

These angels get to kick...in sexy clothes and stiletto heels. They get to run in slow motion as highly flammable stuff explodes behind them. They get to save the day and look fabulous doing it. And all the while, in true girl-power movie fashion, they stay true to each other. Sure, things get a little ridiculous sometimes, but it's all extremely entertaining and so much fun.

In the opening sequence, for example, after effortlessly fighting off a room full of angry Mongolians, they plunge off a bridge in an armored truck to what should be their fiery death. But angels Natalie (Cameron Diaz), Dylan (Drew Barrymore) and Alex (Lucy Liu) are so plucky, so resourceful, so gosh-darned indefatigable, they just hop onto a helicopter - which happened to be inside the armored truck - and fly away to safety. "I'm afraid I underestimated you guys," a U.S. marshal they've rescued (played by Robert Patrick) remarks afterward. "Yeah," perky Natalie replies, her blinding grin seemingly taking up her entire face. "That happens a lot." Maybe our heroines get shortchanged in the plot and dialogue departments - but as was the case with the '70s TV show the movie is based on, those things don't really matter, do they? That's not what you came to see.

The "Charlie's Angels" movies are all about having an unabashedly campy good time - and this is where a music-video background comes in handy for director McG, who made his feature-film debut with the original. "Full Throttle" is bigger, better, faster and more fun than the first - self-aware without being too cutesy, savvy without being tragically hip. It's a great addition to the long line of summer sequels. And wow, those outfits!
