Just what I expected

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Natalie, Dylan, and Alex are back, this time they're preparing for a strike without even warning as they go undercover to retrieve 2 missing silver bands. They contain valuable encrypted information that reveal the new identities of every person in the FWPP. When witnesses start turning dying, only the Angels, using their expertise as masters of disguise, espionage and martial arts can stop the mysterious "fallen" Angel. Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle goes boom the dynamite once again with terrific stunts, action and a beautiful villain at the face of Moore.

Charlie's angels 2 I haven't seen the first one but I'm sure it has to be better than this. This film wears heavy and is a bit too sloppy to be considered a fun flick. Even the action is filmed tediously with a lot of cuts and slo-mo mixed with fast-forward. Whatever. The girls are pretty and I guess in the in that is that matters..........right? Na, not right.

'Angels' Natalie, Dylan and Alex (Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu) investigate the theft of a pair of top-secret rings that hold the details of those on the F.B.I.'s witness protection programme.I gave the first Charlie's Angels movie a fairly reasonable rating (6.5/10) for its excessive action, knowingly daft plot, deliberately cheesy performances, and impossibly sexy trio of stars. Director McG and his lovely leading ladies clearly didn't care that the whole thing was highly preposterous: they were having fun, and that fun proved infectious.This sequel definitely lives up to it's title of Full Throttle—it's even more dumb, has even more OTT action, and features even more of Diaz, Barrymore and Liu in revealing attire (plus added T&A from a very fit Demi Moore). The film doesn't just go up to eleven… it goes right off the meter, but in doing so it disproves the theory that nothing succeeds like excess by being bloody irritating instead of enjoyable.Watch it for: the eye candy, which includes Cameron Diaz in a bikini, all three girls in stripper gear, Demi in her undies and, during the end credits, the Angels doing a sexy car wash—plus… Crispin Glover being Crispin Glover, and the cool soundtrack.Be prepared to hate: all of the action scenes, Bernie Mac as Bosley, the pointless cameos from Pink, Bruce Willis, and the Olsen twins, the meandering senseless plot, Luke Wilson and Matt LeBlanc as Diaz and Liu's love interests, John Cleese's embarrassingly unfunny turn as Liu father, and Shia LaBeouf as an obnoxious, curly-haired brat.

For the longest time I had remembered this movie being a big step down from the first movie. But after just watching it again, I'd say they're more or less equal.Surprisingly, this one actually has more of a plot than the first movie. It isn't exactly complex, but there is more interaction between the characters and a few examples of setup and payoff. Some of the jokes are pretty bad, particularly the ones centering around Dylan's former name, "Helen Zaas". Bill Murray is definitely missed, and the villains this time around aren't as good as Sam Rockwell was. Both movies are silly, but they're self aware. The filmmakers knew what they were doing with these movies, just wanting to make popcorn entertainment consisting of action sequences and attractive women. And for what these movies are, they aren't bad.
