Charlie’s Angels 2: Full Throttle

December 10, 2004

Rated: PG-13 Runtime: 111 min Rating: 2 out of 5 stars

Charlie’s Angels meets The Matrix, and this time it’s not just the Angels who can defy physics.

The first Charlie’s Angels movie was a lot of fun, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Sure, the fight scenes were unbelievable, but we didn’t care because we were having such a good time. This movie is different. Right from the very beginning the Angels all have a Matrix-like ability to suspend physics, dodge bullets and live though falls that would kill a normal person… and of course they don’t even get dirty when rolling down a dirt hill.

We might be able to forgive this if the movie were entertaining, but other than watching the girls in skimpy clothing, the movie just sucks. The plot is barely comprehensible and the acting is totally lame. There are too many things wrong with this movie to even go into it here, and it’s not worth risking a spoiler to say the things I’d really like to say.

The only reason this movie isn’t getting one star from me is the girls… they are fine. Demi is smokin in her bikini, so is Cameron. Damn, just damn. If there had been more skin… perhaps a hot tub… the review might have been higher. But, we got bikini’s, so the movie gets 2 stars.

There were an astounding number of cameos in the movie, you’ve really got to pay attention to get them all. Certainly not worth seeing the movie for the cameos though, and I’m guessing those involved wouldn’t have agreed if they could have seen how the movie was going to turn out.

I strongly recommend waiting for DVD to see this movie, otherwise you’re just wasting your money.
