Summary: so empowering!!!
Review: As a women I absolutely adored this movie. First of all, I will NEVER understand why people expect movies to be like reality? Don't you know you are watching a movie? If you want reality~go outside. If you want pure fantasy A.K.A. movie, see this. It is fun!! I thought it was funny, I left the movies feeling really happy to be a women. So many movies make the women so helpless but this was really empowering. The action was GREAT, the FX was terrific! I left the movie remembering to buy the DVD. This movie was so cool, If you are cool you will love this movie. If you don't love this movie, then I guess you should get something more like yourself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nearly as good as the 1st. 15th april 2004.
Review: It isn't quite as good as the first, but i still love it. There is a bit more action in the first. It is still one of my favorite films,and i could still keep on watching it. I hope a number 3 comes out very soon, i will be so dying to see the 3 GREAT angels again. I must say the very 1st time i saw this film i never really liked it, but it is one of them films that is easy to get used to. REALLY GREAT, THE ANGELS ARE LIVE AND KICKING!

Summary: Such a poor made movie
Review: I didn't come to this movie with high expectations. I expected crazy fight scenes, a bad plot, no character development, and was expecting a lot of pretty woman. I was disappointed with almost everything.

The fight scenes were ridiculous. At least make them a little believable. There is no way they can do Matrix like jumps and kicks. The fact they never reload and miss is also stupid.

The plot is so lame anybody could follow it. Demi Moore plays a renegade angel who is out for payback. The only good thing about Demi was how incredible she looked to be 40+ years old.

I was disappointed with Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, and Drew Barrymore. All are pretty woman and none of them did anything for me in this movie. I usually like most of them but they were all horrible.

What was up with switching Bernie Mac and Bill Murray. What ever producer made that move made a big mistake. He was the best thing in the first movie.

This is a lame movie. I'm glad I rented it instead of buying it.

The special features aren't all that great at all and I don't really see why this got an Unrated version. There is nothing that would have changed the PG-13 rating. Don't waste your money on this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hot Humour!!!!
Review: Are you people kidding me here??!!!
This movie was hilarious. It never took itself seriously once and was made to poke fun at serious movies in the genre of cop, spy or karate flicks.
It was so blatantly silly that you just had to laugh and it was meant to be this way.
Come on, what were you expecting???
It was done very well, because this is the way these movies should be done, in a fun, lighthearted way. Just watch Starsky and Hutch and you'll see alot of those similarities.
Lighten up, here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious!!
Review: First of all, I think the other reviewers who gave this movie such a bad rating were maybe taking the movie too seriously or something. I thought it was very funny and I personally did not like the first one because I did not think it was nearly as funny.
Give the movie a shot. If you rent it and after watching it you hate it, then you are only out about $3.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrible
Review: I loved the first movie. It was funny and absolutely entertaining. The Sequel failed on all levels. Horrible Story (was there one?)and acting. The former charming Angels were bad parodies of themselves and Demi looked great but that was it. What did they think? I hope for a 3rd installment that captures the spirit of the 1st one again and makes "Full Throttle" just an accident in movie making...the girls would deserve it!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: God Awful
Review: This was quite possibly the worst movie that I have ever seen. After watching nearly 20 minutes of pure crap I was forced to turn it off. I don't understand how anyone can be stupid enough to derive entertainment from this. It seemed more like a randomn rush of trendy images than a coherent film. The movie jumped from one idiotic scene to the next. Please don't waste your money on this.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "Angel" Cake
Review: The "Charlie's Angels" films are much like the opera. You either love it or hate it. I personally like 'em (this film was much better than "The Matrix Reloaded". That movie was pure geekboy trash (yes, I got all the metaphysical monkey crap & I still hated it)).

In "Full Throttle", the Angels are hired by the Justice Department to retrieve a set of titanium rings that have secured files (once hooked up and downloaded onto a computer) of all the applicants of the witness protection program. If fallen into the wrong hands, these files can be bought and sold at a mighty high price.

The film itself, just like the original, doesn't take itself seriously (come on people, its based on a jiggly 70's T.V. show for God's sake!). The Angels do have there own personal problems, among the best of them is, Dylan worrying if the Angels might be splitting up (Dylan has a vision of the future Angels, among them, her being teamed up with the Olsen twins!). The soundtrack is great including songs from Rob Zombie, Loverboy, The Beach Boys, and Pink.

The action is, sadly, what bogs the movie down. It's great to have a cool action sequence in a film like this, but, when the film relies way, way too much on "Matrix" style fighting and "Bullit" Time slow-motion, you can't help, but, role your eyes and feel there should be something original in its place. The action is also way too cartoonish. I'm not a big fan of motorcross but even I know a cyclist can't do a handstand, pull out a gun, fire off three shots, turn back around, and land perfectly on the ground! If there is a third film, McG should calm the action down quite a bit(how about just a plain old shoot out or bar fight w/ no slow-motion?) and have a good solid plotline (how about something along the lines: The Angels have to catch a killer who is slowly wiping out former Angel members). Overall, the movie is worth the rent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Solid Sequel
Review: "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" reunites Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore as Natalie Cook, Alex Munday and Dylan Sanders for another fun romp to save the world.

THE STORY:

The Angels are called in to recover the stolen One Ring of Sauron (well, no actually), but they are called in to recover a stolen pair of power rings before they fall into the wrong hands. Not too sure WHAT the rings were supposed to be able to do but the actual plotline of the movie was not its strong point. In a moment of character development the girls also come to realize what true friendship is as changes in their lives threaten to break them apart.

THE COOL THINGS:

Like the first movie, the plot was simply a good excuse for the three ladies to get out into the world in their cool outfits, kick some booty girl power style and generally have fun. Trust me, this movie was TONS of fun.

The action and undercover hijinks are WAAAY up from the first movie as it is obvious the girls are now comfortable in their roles and it is OBVIOUS they are having a blast out there. The fight scenes and action sequences are more daring them the first movie and the pop culture parodies are even funnier than the last (including homages to MC Hammer and CSI!!!).

BEST SCENES:

1. CSI Parody Scene

2. 'O Grady Wharehouse Battle

3. The Motocross Scene

4. The Final Battle

THE DVD Extras

Like the first disc and most new discs, Tri-Star and McG spared no expense here as you get a TRUCKLOAD of extras the explore the movie and make this disc a worthy addition to the collector's vault.

Here's what you get:

1. Two Audio Commentary Tracks: 1 featuring Director McG and the other featuring writers

2. Angel-Vision Trivia Track: Cool feature found on more releases lately that you can play during the movie that gives you nifty factoids on the film

3. 8 Featurettes

a. "Pussycat Dolls" - 4 ½ minute feature detailing the filming of the strip club scene and the involvement of the infamous Pussycat Dolls troupe

b. "Rolling with the Punches" - 5 ½ minute feature on the fight choreography for the film

c. "XXX-Treme Angels" - 9 minute feature of the motocross scene and the pro-bikers involved

d. "Full Throttle" - 17 minute feature about the selection of the all the bikes and trucks that appeared in the film plus the Big Foot team

e. "Designing Angels" - Cool 7-minute feature of the wardrobe and lighting techniques used to highlight each actress

f. "There's No Such Thing As Short Shot, Just an Overworked Producer" - 8 ½ minute feature on the challenges producing this ambitious film including the expenses and the trouble they had to go through to get some of the more spectacular (yet SHORT) scenes shown in the film

g. "Angel's Makeover: Hanson Dam" - 4 minute look at the CGI and scale models that were needed to film the opening sequence in the film

h. "Dream Duds" - 3 minute slide showish feature showing off the actresses' various costumes and production sketches of them

4. Cameo-Graphy: Fun facts and quick cuts to scenes featuring actors and other celebrities who made appearances in the film

5. Full Throttle Jukebox: McG and the music director talk about how they selected the songs that appeared in the movie followed directly by those said scenes with the music in the background. SOLID feature

6. Music Video: "Feel Good Time" by Pink

7. Filmographies for the Cast and Crew

8. Trailers for Charlie's Angels I and II, Bad Boys II, Mona Lisa Smile, Something's Gotta Give, and S.W.A.T.

THE VERDICT:

Overall this was just a REAL fun film to watch. The story was forgettable, but it wasn't really about the story. The film was what it was, a simple fun 2 hour escape from reality featuring great action, beautiful girls in great costumes and an overall fun look at our lives through the pop culture pokes. The DVD package outdid itself as you get TONS of great extras. Obviously a lot of love and fun went into this film and it shows.

Final Grades:

Movie: 4 stars
Extras: 5 stars

Total: 4.5 stars

Highly Recommended

Rating: 1 stars
