Charlie's Angels

I loved this movie! I see many bad reviews, but I didn't see anything bad. Will definitely watch it again

There is no stripping in this movie
Thats what missing
If you have seen the older movies there is a lot of dancing in the two older movies

Very excited to see the movie, finally watched it and really enjoyed the storyline with some twists.

Sometimes it's a good thing when you have your expectations very low, when I saw the trailer I think this was gonna be atrocious, but i think it was actually fun to watch and Kristen S. is really comfortable here. Plus, I really like Elizabeth Banks! The soundtrack is a win and the action scenes are also very good. Nothing remarkable, but it is entertaining.

7.5/10 - Haha, that was surprisingly entertaining :D

It surprisingly wasn't cheesy at all (well, maybe a few times a little bit but it definitely wasn't annoying IMO - it was more fun than cheesy). It's obviously not something to think about (too) much or take seriously though.

I was quite surprised but very happy when Charles Xavier (:D) walked in at the beginning. I really like Patrick Stewart as an actor. But for me he's always that good guy (Charles or Picard). Therefore I didn't see that twist coming and my brain still cannot comprehend it :D (But tbh I didn't really like that twist, it somehow didn't feel really meaningful.) Patrick Stewart with glasses was really funny though :D

Anyway, IMO it started off really good but then it didn't quite manage to keep it up (but it also didn't fall off too much).

I also appreciate it that many scenes took place in Germany (Hamburg and Berlin). It's just nice to see a few places I've been to in movies.

The main cast (the two and a half angels) are great as well. I didn't know about Ella Balinska (Jane) before but I liked her very much. She's badass, smart, and pretty - or in other words: awesome! Plus those scenes where she flirted with that nerd/scientist were really great! "You put your mouth on it." xD

Naomi Scott is super cute/pretty and her acting is always a pleasure to watch. However, her character wasn't that interesting. She was neither a real nerd (she could be a cool/smart programmer but that part wasn't convincing and there were also only very few scenes) nor a badass. She provided a bit of fun though. And that scene where she was briefly rapping was one of the best scenes <3

And last but not least: Kirsten Stewart. She's very good at acting out crazy characters :D E.g. that scene at the boat where she makes the faces to the kid was great! She looks quite different from how I remember her though. If it wasn't for her character I might even have some trouble recognizing her :D

"Saint" was also a cool character.

"Good for you."

As a sysadmin I liked the "root access" stuff ("root" is the most privileged account / administrator on Unix/Linux systems). Nothing special but still nice :)

That idea of EMPs to target humans was also nice. IMO that blockchain stuff was pretty BS though (there are few uses for it and it can be especially unsuitable if you want to remain in active control).
That whole programmer stuff didn't really shine but I very appreciate it that she did only program that Callisto thing to "light up and make noises" (I didn't expect it in a movie but I would expect it from a (smart) programmer).

"Hell yeah, give me my wings." :D

PS: This might've been nice to have in 4K. But at least on Netflix it was only available in FHD.

What a great time. For a concept that is just about feeling overdone. Banks breathed a lot of life into this. I could happily watch a sequel to this.

All that and I still hate so many of the decisions. I hate who the villain was. I hate how there wasn't a third angel (turning this into a sort of origin of the new trio).

I loved how Patrick Stewart is basically canonically all the Bosleys we've known. It's one person and he was the first. I like that Bosley is a rank. I hate how they pretend it's a name like Doctor Who saying "I'm the Doctor". It's grammatically deceptive. I liked the links between all the versions of Charlie's Angels. All that was done well. The acting was excellent. While I was upset there weren't three angels. At least Kristen Stewart and Ella Balinska were pretty good as the primary Angels of the movie. I also really really liked the humor. Between the writing and the timing and the acting it was just such a fresh take on the jokes. It wasn't the stale old rhythm we're used to in action-comedies.

[Spoiler]As I hinted before I hated how Bosley turned out the be the bad guy. I mean the very first Bosley the one who was in the TV show and in the first two movies (canonically) it doesn't make sense for him to be the bad guy. I went from thinking "Man they're kinda wasting Patrick Stewart here but I guess it's ok because the movie is rather entertaining even without him" to "oh good grief again the 'inside man goes evil' bad guy". The Elizabeth Banks red herring was equally annoying. Because while she made more sense than bloody 1st Bosley even when I thought it was her it felt reductive.[/spoiler] People have to come up with better bad guys than [spoiler]face-heel turns[/spoiler]. It's cliché and passé at this point. It's phenomenally boring. It brings down what is otherwise a VERY entertaining action film that does so many interesting things like avoiding getting bogged down in character backstory details while still developing them. Aside from the major choices the worst scene for me was Jane crying over Sabina. (Yep I went back and rewatched it) that crying was abysmal. I understand why she's crying and I support that but it wasn't even good "ugly crying". It was just... bad.

Soundtrack was good though. Not the same tired recycled at least.

Telling that almost all of the bad reviews of this are written by men. Why is every movie about strong women, doing the things and have the cringy dialogue every mission impossible movie has, suddenly a ‘feminist’ movie? Is it a great movie? No, probably not. But it’s fun and if we can all admit that it’s just as decent as a lot of action movies with a male protagonist it will save everyone a lot of time and energy.

I'm not a big fan of _Kristen Stewart_ and thus did not plan on watching this movie. Then there were the bad reviews and bad word of mouth. But then I DID watch the movie and was very pleasantly surprised. Kristen actually looked like she was having fun in that roll and i found myself enjoying the movie. Although there was the obvious person who turned out to be the bad "person". You should give this movie a chance - it did not deserve all the bad press it got. Don't always believe what you hear or read.

A remake or reboot which is just OK, like the original.

I like everything about the movie BUT Naomi Scott character. Her character is kinda insufferable. I couldn't relate or sympathize with her. Maybe it's a me thing, because I always dislike newbies characters that are always messing up with the mission...

Edit: Reading the comments, we can easily see that men don't like women, they like h0l3s. They cannot say they dislike the protagonists, who are all women, without disrespecting them.
