God, what a mindless film.
I haven’t seen the first film, but heard that it was a critical bomb. Since I was staffing the screening today we had at noon for this one, I decided to stay and watch out of curiosity, and in part because I invited a friend from high school to it. I wanted it to be over before the halfway mark, and when the final chase/confrontation began, I thanked God.
After the third or fourth scene featuring the Angels in a new set of disguises, it begins to resemble not so much a movie as it does a sketch comedy in which each scene is a skit with different costumes that bears little importance with what scene came right before or what comes after it. Who was that “Thin Man” guy played by Crispin Glover supposed to be? And why were the Angels following that guy that Cameron Diaz met at the beach? I didn’t get any of this, and after a while, I didn’t care. Most of the stunts were incredibly poor, had lousy F/X shots (except for the fight inside the warehouse with the Irish guy and his men, which I enjoyed), and Bernie Mac’s minstrel routine just made me roll my eyes.
The only thing I remember about the first film is that it was incredibly incoherent.
I have to agree with Luigi on this one. This film sucked. It has to be the worst i've seen since the summer movie started. I thought that the action in XXX was unrealistic but this movie takes the cake on that one.
And motocross bikes don't blow up every time they crash.
And how exactly did Demi Moore die. She died in an explosion but from what?
And how did the angels breathe when they were naked in that concrete sculpture thing?
And why was George McFly in the movie? I liked the character but they only gave him two or three scenes. He did next to nothing. Then they killed him. Thanks a lot.
Though I liked the Irish guy. But why is the leader of the gang always the only one that can actually fight?
It did a good job of targeting that 15-dead male audience though.
Grade: Something Low i guess
Josh: Soemthing lower than an F-. Like an FU maybe.
But it has Robert Patrick.
And Demi Moore......MMMMMM!
HANDS OFF!!
She's Ashton Kutcher's!
(Yeah, right!)
Sounds like its very much like the first one, which struck me as a bunch of set pieces missing a plot, and they never seemed to make up their mind whether it was serious or a spoof.
If you think the Charlie's Angels films are incoherent (hated the series and the first one) try Passion Of Mind, Demi Moore's last film prior to her this one. A total mess.
