asc85 After the fun, well-done original movie in 2000 that was based on the classic TV series, the producers, plus Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu had a certifiable hit on their hands that would be able to spawn sequel after sequel, and generate tons and tons of money for all. So what did they do? They squandered it all with a sequel where they just assumed they could put just about anything out, and people would continue to go see it. Except the public isn't that stupid. Putting them in hot outfits and thinking you could get away with a ridiculous plot line, silly dialogue, and smug acting was arrogant beyond belief. I remember at the time when the bad reviews came out, Lucy Liu said something like, "I really don't care if people aren't happy with what we did." Well that's great, because you lost all those sequels and an easy way to make lots of money!

oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- Charlie Angels: Full Throttle, 2003. These sexy 'angels' are back to go against a bad angel aided by trusty sidekick, Bolsley. These sexy agents of 'Charlie' fight to reclaims special titanium coded rings encrypted with information about ever person hidden in Govt Witness Protection Program.*Special Stars- Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, Drew Barrymore, Bernie Mac, Demi Moore.*Theme- Teamwork solves many problems in crime.*Trivia/location/goofs- Shot mostly in Southern California.*Emotion- Kinda schmaltzy, flat, predicable romp with three lovely ladies doing violent martial arts and driving high performance autos. The over exposed flat lighting of the film makes it look even more like a lifeless cartoon or just plain summer popcorn 'pap'. Pure escapist fare for the horny driving fast juvenile audience that enjoys such tripe.*Based On- The previous feature film and the popular TV series.

Patricia Lee I was a fan of the TV show "Charlie's Angels" back in the day, and I was looking for movies a favorite actor had appeared in. That's how I ended up wasting two hours watching "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle". I gave it a 2 because I'm certain there must be worse movies out there, but it is hard to imagine. This one couldn't decide if it was a campy comedy, an action adventure, or a big budget B-movie. It traded on names but was seriously short on entertainment value. I'm sure the script looked better on paper. How they spent $120,000,000 on this is difficult to understand. (Compare to Star Wars Episode VII at $200,000,000 12 years later.) Seriously, don't waste your time watching this. Take a nap, paint your living room, weed your flower beds, anything else. You'll thank me.

Python Hyena 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
