Charlie's Angels; Natalie, Dylan and Alex, are back; this time they are investigating the theft of two rings which when used together gives access to data on everybody in America's witness protection programme. To further complicate matters one of those who could be exposed is Dylan. She was put in witness protection after testifying against her then boyfriend; he is now out of jail and looking for revenge.The first film was pretty silly; this one was even sillier so if you didn't enjoy the first film you almost certainly won't like this; however if you did like it you'll probably enjoy this too. The story is solid enough although it is told in a way that seems very episodic. These episodes are mostly references to other films; some of these references are rather fun while others are more than a little forced. If you don't get all the references it doesn't really detract from ones enjoyment though. There is plenty of action but not much of it feels real due to the less than impressive special effects and fights that aren't believable. When the identity of the lead bad-guy is revealed I doubt many will be surprised but that doesn't really detract from the film. Returning leads Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu are solid enough and Bernie Mac is okay as the new Bosley, although nowhere near as good as Bill Murray was in the first film. There are quite a few cameos, some are good, like John Cleese's appearance as Alex's father, and some pointless, such as Bruce Willis's very brief appearance. Overall I'd say this was fun enough but nothing special; if you liked the first film then give this one a go.

Charlie's Angels 2: Full Throttle (2003): Dir: McG / Cast: Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, Demi Moore, Bernie Mac: Sequel that should be throttled with a baseball bat. Opening scene would fit perfectly in a James Bond film but here it looks plain stupid. It involves the theft and retrieval of two rings that contain secret information. Then the narrow escape follows as a truck goes over a bridge and the Angels land in a helicopter. Then there is the escape criminal connected with Drew Barrymore's past. Cameron Diaz is waiting for her dipstick boyfriend to propose. Lucy Liu's father visits unaware of her real job. The only good performance comes from Demi Moore as an evil Angel who states, "I'm tired of taking orders from a speaker box." She is ideal casting and pulls off a surprise victory until it is diminished when she shoots all three Angels only to discover that they had on bulletproof vests. That is conveniently pathetic and perhaps the single worst element in a long list of bad issues that is wrong with this garbage. Bernie Mac replaces Bill Murray who wisely avoided a second helping of this bullshit. Filmed like a music video by McG going fully high tech in production with little evidence of a screenwriter. He made the first film, which isn't much better. Both films should be throttled with a tire iron and buried somewhere where they will never surface again. Score: 1 ½ / 10

The film is very tense and interesting. Sadly, however, it really has nothing to say. If you end up watching this, you will probably be like me in saying that it starts off great then gradually begins to suck. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them. No matter what anyone says, this is utterly fantastic, an eye-popping cinematic treat. I would suggest renting it, or perhaps buying it if the price is right. All characters are unhappy souls, surviving in a grim world. The people who put this one together really knew what they were doing.

This is a big, shiny, silly, camp summer blockbuster and I suspect most of the bad reviews are purely because it dares to make fun of itself in a way that Mission: Impossible, Die Hard, X-Men and all those dude- dominated action movies don't.But really, I have to worry about all those people who hated this on seeing it. Did they not see the first movie? Or perhaps they thought the original TV show was a cerebral example of 1970's TV programming.The fact is if you liked the 2000 movie, with all the silly in-jokes, cultural references, campy soundtrack and frankly ridiculous stunts then you'll enjoy this one just as much. Maybe more because it also has Demi Moore looking amazing and a Jaclyn Smith cameo.
