Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle Movie
Storyline
TAGLINES
This summer the Angels are back.
Natalie, Dylan, and Alex, three glamorous, tough-as-nails, investigative agents - who work for the Charles Townsend Detective Agency - are sent undercover to retrieve two missing jewelry bands. These are no ordinary wedding rings. They contain valuable information that reveals the new identities of every person in the FBI's Witness Protection Program. After five of the program's participants turn up dead, only the Angels can stop the perpetrator, using their expertise as masters of disguise, espionage and martial arts.

Just awful!
posted on 18 Aug 2009The first "Charlie's Angels" movie was a bit of brainless fun, but "Full Throttle" went nowhere fast. The plot, such as it was, had something to do with the women trying to recover two rings containing the names of people in the Witness Protection Program. The film contained lots of action and lots of wardrobe changes for the leads but who cares? And Bernie Mac, who is usually funny, just stank up every scene he was in. (Nothing wrong with having an African American "Bosley," but give him some decent material.) The action scenes were so preposterous that they made me roll my eyes. Yes, the three leads and Demi Moore all looked great, but even that wasn't enough to save this junk. Avoid at all cost!

posted on 14 Aug 2009With the latest cinematic opus from director Joseph McGinty-Nichol, CHARLIE'S ANGELES: FULL THROTTLE, the audience is treated to a cinematic bauble that refracts the iconography of the classic 70's television series through the sensibilities of one of the most promising American directorial talents of the past 20 years. Drawing form sources including, but not limited to, The Old Testament and American cinematic history, McGinty-Nichol's film is truly one for the ages.New to this ANGELS installment is Demi Moore, appearing here as former Angel Madison Lee. With her character, McGinty-Nichol attempts to put a contemporary spin on the Biblical creation myth in which the Archangel Lucifer is cast out of heaven and condemned to walk in shadows til the end of time. Enraged at being cast out of Paradise, Lucifer searches for ways to strike back at the Creator and his work. In THROTTLE, McGinty-Nichol has found his Lucifer in the guise of Ms. Moore (returning to the screen from her own cinematic purgatory of the past 5 years). Throughout the piece, Moore's Madison Lee lurks in the background, biding her time and pulling the strings as she orchestrates her plan to destroy that which Charlie (read: God) holds most dear: His greatest creation - The Angels.Biblical allusions aside, this edition of the ANGELS franchise culls a number of key sequences from a more recent text - namely, the pages of American cinematic history. Homage is paid to several classic films from years gone by. RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, CAPE FEAR, and THE JERK are just a handful of the films that McGinty-Nichol tips his directorial hat to.But front and center in this picture are The Angels themselves. In this go-round, Lucy Liu's Alex (far and away the "Ice Queen" of the ensemble in the original ANGELS film) cuts loose and appears to be thoroughly enjoying the proceedings from beginning to end. Ms. Barrymore's Dylan proves to be the heart and soul of the piece as her character struggles to come to grips with her fear of emotional abandonment. And last but certainly not least is Cameron Diaz's Natalie. When Diaz is not flashing her dazzling smile, she continues to prove that she is the most gifted cinematic physical comedienne of her generation.All in all, this ANGELS film is truly a little slice of heaven.It also has a bunch of hot chicks and stuff gettin' blow'd up real good.
This is the worst movie of the year
posted on 14 Aug 2009This is the worst movie of the year. Nothing - absolute nothing is good in that movie. Girls just want to have fun, but Charlie's Angels is not Matrix or T3. Charlie's Angels is not James Bond. Charlie's Angels is nothing.Why did it have to be so much like Matrix, James Bond, T3 and all the other? Why not just be itself - with a good story, nice action and some fun.
Sorry, but you don't get two free passes
posted on 14 Aug 2009I liked the original Charlie's Angels movie, but this one just pushes it's luck. It's even more ridiculously fast paced and quick cutting than the first, and there seems to be a lot of little things going on that only the director and the cast know but don't let us see. Elaborate setups are made for minor plot points, and in some instances, there are shots that don't seem to have any connection whatsoever to what's going on. Granted, the chicks are hotter than ever, but as far as the movie itself, it's actually kind of annoying. It's short attention span theater to the max.
OH...MY...GOD!!! sooooo much better than the first one!!!
posted on 31 Jul 2009OH...MY...GOD!!! sooooo much better than the first one (and the first one was GREAT!!!) !!!this film is SO funny. it is jam packed with crap jokes that make you giggle, then as they continue you cant help but actually find them really funny!the angels are - as always - stunning: in looks, comedy and action.great cameos by great actors.if you stop to think about it you will find yourself saying 2 things: 1. just how annoying can the new Bosley be!!!?!!! and 2. is there really a plot? oh yeh... there it was!!!but seriously, you've gotta see this. if you're a girl it's a great girlie comedy with loadsa action. if you're a boy you've gotta see it for the same reasons, but also... THESE GIRLS ARE SEX-Y!!!
It's pretty bad, but not unwatchable. You can be doing something better with 106 minutes of your life,
posted on 21 Jul 2009Take three girls who are pretty, strong smart, and all-around perfect, and put them in a situation where they fight off millions of baddies or any other impossible situation, with added stunts and slow-motion scenes. This is the basic formula for "Charlie's Angel's: Full Throttle," the sequel to "Charlie's Angels." Three spies called "Charlie's Angels" (Hence the name of the movie.) begin their movie by saving a male hostage who drops his "wedding ring" while being saved. When the spies return to Charlie's office, a predictable moment sets in; the ring was for a more important purpose then a wedding. It was a dangerous HALO ring which is dangerous if not recovered.I found this part to be very predictable, because the line where the man explains about his wedding ring seemed to stick out from the crowd of dialogue. I knew this concept in Kindergarten, and kind of made up a story for the formula:A group of people are walking on a path. They find a machine that they don't think works. The, the machine does something useful at the end. It's the one-twist kind of story line, which makes a twist out of something seemingly unnoticeable. My story seems a bit like this part. The group of people are the angels. The machine is the ring. The ending of my story is the only one that differs, because the machine starts a story in "Charlie's Angels," instead of ending it.The story continues when the three women travel to retrieve the HALO rings. One of the main flaws (and there are many) is that the story line seems to have been made just to include action scenes. I'm not sure what the word is called: episodic, lazy, shallow? Well, it's bad and only made worse due to the fact that the action scenes are really, really bad.In the beginning bike scene, the part where the man turns backwards in mid-air and attempts to shoot the angels looks really goofy. The slow-motion scenes look un-realistic and way too stupid to work. It almost reminded me of "Belly of the Beast," when the guy shoots the arrow with a gun in slow-motion. How ridiculous. I think it's also ridiculous how the women fight off numerous baddies, and other un-realistic stunts, such as jumping onto a helicopter.The music and the way the characters act sometimes give the movie a different feeling to it. For example, at times, the movie more closely resembles a flick for young girls than a spy movie. There are just some scenes that don't seem to fit.Another flaw is that "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" tries to be a goofy comedy, but ends up looking more goofy and ridiculous than an actual comedy. After the opening sequence, the audience is treated to some silly comedy that tones down the level of seriousness.(SOME SPOILERS)Don't forget that the part with "The Creepy Thin Man" seemed almost pointless, because he is introduced, but he doesn't do too much. No character development takes place. (END OF SPOILERS)There's actually not much more to it. The script is just a bunch of action sequences and some predictable moments. Then, it's filmed and acted and sent to theatres. I doubt the actresses enjoy their parts, or anything else in this incoherent mess of a movie. "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" isn't so bad that it's unwatchable, but it's 106 minutes long, and with that much time, you can be doing something else with your life, such as homework, chores, or reading. The whole thing is just too ridiculous to actually work. Unless you were a fan of the first one or interested in the dance scene in the middle of the film, there's no real reason to watch this.1.5/10 Good: Plot twists, some OK humor, male audiences may be delighted by the dance scene in the middle Bad: Ridiculous action scenes, perfectionist main characters, pointless introduction, seems too silly to be a spy movie at times, predictable moments, story seems to have been made only to include action sequencesFeel free to send me a Private Message regarding this comment.

posted on 17 Jul 2009Probably the worst big-budget piece of cinematic garbage of 2003. And that's a compliment, because usually there is something that can be salvaged from garbage, but not in this case. Nothing, and I mean nothing, works in this movie, and nothing (again, NOTHING) is smart about this movie. It is more highly contrived than most "action" flicks, the action looks almost entirely fake (which of course it is, but it should not make the audience so acutely and painfully aware of it!), the dialogue is somewhere between stupid and idiotic, and the humor is, shall we say, as funny as the old proverbial screen door in a submarine. Directorially, it is pieced together like a series of very overstylized and mismatched music videos. The Angels are neither appealing nor particularly bright beyond an I.Q. level of, let's generously estimate, 70! Pathetic is another word that comes to mind. Skip it if you have any self-esteem or self-worth as a fan of good movies.
chuckling angels
posted on 15 Jul 2009dudes this movie's rocks!... hahaha... it's as light as a feather, as enjoyable as popcorn, sweet as an ice cream...leave you nothing special but a supposedly enjoyable moment the whole show.bear in mind, the positioning of the angels here is even more cheesy than the original charlie's angels. on the movie, especially this one, the angels will survive... will shine... and indeed eternal. well at least the present angels. so just sit back and enjoy the throttle.it's like watching 100 minutes of music video. absurdities and impossibilities goes hand in hand with laughters and stupidities.the visuals are great. the effects are fine. the girls are hot. and the musics are hype. if you're asking for a serious plot or some great insights from this movie you'd must be asking more than a mission impossible.a perfect light movie for all time... my dad will love it.
Big, dumb but a lot fun just the same.
posted on 13 Jul 2009My Take: Fast and fun, just not as good as the first. CHARLIE'S ANGELS: FULL THROTTLE, the sequel to the surprise hit CHARLIE'S ANGELS (itself, a follow-up than a remake of the classic TV series), is just much like the first film, with style flowing over substance. The plot is empty and the film's just stylish action scenes, incomplete without the famous slow-motion shots. But it's a lot of fun, and it also seemed that it took as much fun to make it. It's enjoyably pleasant enough, even if it's dumber than usual.Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu are back for more serious, sexy spyin' as Angels Natalie, Dylan and Alex, on a mission to stop the usual bad guys, while also trying to fix things with their everyday lives. Natalie is still on a long-time relationship with her boyfriend (Luke Wilson) and wondering if ever he is going to propose. On the other hand, Alex's father (John Cleese) has just returned home and discovers that her daughter's career is far beyond what he was made to believe (she was supposed to be a doctor). Dylan on the other hand confronts his ex-boyfriend who she discovers to be a hit-man, now working for the bad guys. Supporting roles are provided by Demi Moore (as an ex-Angel), Crispin Glover (back as the bizarre "Thin Man") and Bernie Mac (as the Angels' new sidekick replacing Bill Murray from the original). Also watch for a cameo appearances by Bruce Willis and Carrie Fisher.Director McG gives the film a MTV-feel, some of which is pretty stylish, some of which are just plain dumb and silly. The script, although has a number of clever comedy bits, is just a retread of the first film, and using leftovers from the original. There's nothing really new about this sequel, but what else is new? Sequels to summer movies tend to be dumb, derivative and repetitive, but few are actually real fun ones. FULL THROTTLE is not fun for more than the run time, but it's enjoyable for most of the time. Stars Diaz, Barrymore and Liu are having a ball-clowning with their roles, having just as much fun as in the first film.FULL THROTTLE is not for everyone's taste. Those who can't take silliness and dumbness for an hour's worth of running time may not make until the end. But those who can suspend their disbelief for the sake of one silly dose of summer madness, CHARLIE'S ANGELS: FULL THROTTLE delivers exactly what its expected from it.Rating: *** out of 5.
WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!
posted on 07 Jul 2009SPOILERS**** i cannot believe that Charlie's Angels 2 was this BAD! i knew when i began watching that it was a sequel and that a sequel NEVER beats an original, but i was really let down here.i love all the main characters and DEMI MOORE really helped boost this boring flick for me, but she was only in like 20 minutes of the whole film.
the previews made me think she had a larger role. "ok, whatever"the storyline basically landed a huge stinkbomb when it comes to believability (is that a word) and the special effects are even more disappointing. its like the screen yelled out "HEY THIS IS A BUNCH OF FAKE STUFF BUT WATCH IT ANYWAYS!" i was really let down.
So far the third best sequel I've seen this summer
posted on 29 Jun 2009Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle is the crowd pleasing, mindless summer fun we go to the movies for in the summer time. These movies aren't meant to win awards or be realsitic, they are more about having fun and boy did Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle entertain me for two hours. The angels Diaz, Barrymore and Liu all come back to their roles eager and welcome and all three are just as much fun to watch as they were in thr first one. The chemistry between the three is some of the strongest I've ever seen for a trio of women since The Heroic Trio in an action film involing women. Bernie Mac as Bosley steals every scene he's in and it looks like he had tons of fun working on the movie also. I hope they bring him back for the thrid movie. McG is a good action director and sure sometimes the action sequences are unbeliveable but to me it was all part of the fun. Demi Moore was good in her villian role even though she ahd limtied screen time and the always good Crispin Glover is down right creepy as The Thin Man. With plenty of pop culture refences, eye candy and one liners if you want some mindless summer entertainment then this is the movie for you. I give it *** stars.
Awesome Sound Track, please help me out!!!
posted on 25 Jun 2009OmG i looooved this movie and the sound track. But does anyone know the names to the songs in it? Is the soundtrack available? I love it. What's the song when they're fighting O'Grady right after they get the rings and they break through the roof and slide down the rope and make a flame thrower with the oil? it's something like " I'm the fire starter..." but i cant find the song!!!! PLease help!So, I'm doing this to take up space!LALALALALALALAHappy New years Everyone!!!!!*I might like you better if we slept together* (^^^Also a great song)
Better than the original w/ lots of fun and cool stunts
posted on 23 Jun 2009Charlies Angels: Full Throttle is very entertaining and funny. The special effects are very cool and the action scenes in this installment are very believable and fun. This installment is also funnier than the original. Bernie Mac is funny as bill murrays brother. demi moore is good as the villain, also. I hope their is a 3rd movie! The 3 angels are a perfect match together! Diaz, Lui, and Barrymore make the movie extra fun!More fun than the original! 7.5/10 starsPG-13: their is the fighting and action, some language, and sexual innuendo.
under rated and misunderstood.
posted on 19 Jun 2009This movie is ridiculous. Everything in it goes off into it's own little universe. I remember seeing this in the theater. When the angels land perfectly on the rope of the ship after escaping Seamus, they glide down. At this moment, two teenage guys in front of me laughed and said, "Yeah, right." They didn't get it. This movie doesn't pretend to be logical. It is spoofing big budget Hollywood movies such as Mission Impossible 2, which is ripe for being made fun of. The entire movie is best summed up by Drew Barrymore's Dylan when she is searching in Alan Caulfield home when she recognizes that the killer was wearing a limited edition shoe only sold at one footlocker in New Jersey in 2002. There is no way that anyone would know this, but the point is just that. I wish it was as fun as the original though. The movie references feel forced. The soundtrack has some good music in it.
I think it's an insult to the original!
posted on 15 Jun 2009I saw Charlie's Angels Full Throttle today -- it was an insult to the original! While Diaz, Liu and Barrymore are sexy women, none of them holds a candle to a classic like Farrah Fawcett.The movie was one situation after another that put them in ridiculous costumes and weird sexual innuendo. Correction: BAD weird sexual innuendo. And Demi Moore as the angel-turned-bad? Blah! Again, a sexy woman, but substandard acting: her performance was flat and passionless. As for the fight scenes: the martial arts were HORRIBLE! It was a badly choreographed computer-generated matrix-esque MESS! Incidentally, I never went to see Charlies Angels in the theater because the previews made it look so corny -- and even they didn't do justice to the depths of corniness of this atrocity! The ONLY nifty part of the movie -- the anti-angel solo (Moore) had two golden DesertEagle50s! *droooooooooooooool* Now THOSE were cool!
Almost OK sequel but boring!
posted on 07 Jun 2009It is a cool idea to make a sequel of the fun adaption of Charlie's Angel TV show. And this time it is exactly the same. Fun science-fiction action, humour and sex-appeal... Well, a very delicious cocktail. But contrary as the first, the sequel lose some of its freshness... McG, the director, uses the same formula : very cool music to support very cool images but it's like watching the same movie we saw two years ago.The cool things is there are a lot of cameos on it like Bruce Willis, Robert Patrick, John Cleese, etc... and a very good surprise by the presence of one of the "original" angel!And the very one person that lift the movie up is Demi Moore! After too much bad movies, she's coming back more beautiful than ever and in great shape for a great villain character! Too bad that the filmakers doesn't use her much more. We knew that she was the lost angel before the film was out and she didn't get into the action before the very last finale! But what a finale!Of course it will be another sequel but this time the producers and filmakers should think of more fresh and original ideas for the next sequel, unless their audience for that kind of movie will really drop out.
Oh my god!
posted on 03 Jun 2009I find it deeply depressing that this film even got made in the first place. I won't comment on the so-called plot but will leave that to others. If ever there was a prime example of the dumbing-down of Hollywood then this is it. I actually felt my brain turning to mush while watching this. I began to lose control of my bodily functions. I lost all will to live and subsequently after staring in utter disbelief that this could be so bad, I fully intend to do the only thing left before I become a complete vegetable and take my own life. I simply cannot live any more after seeing this and I strongly suspect that you, dear reader, will feel the same way. Do not waste precious hours of your life watching this as I just have. I did and will now pay the ultimate price. Goodbye and good luck....
Lighten UP it was just FLUFF!
posted on 01 Jun 2009I am shocked at the postings and the negative response to Charlie's Angels Full Throttle. I guess I am to assume that most people who went to see this movie confused Cameron, Lucy, and Drew for Meryl, Nicole and Julianne. This was not the HOURS! Perhaps the thinking was that this movie was an Academy award contender? This was exactly what it was supposed to be, eye candy, spoof, with some unbelievable action sequences. A plot? Please it really isn't necessary. Entertainment, humor, and escapism. That's all it's meant to be, if you went in thinking this was going to be a cinematic experience then you got exactly what you deserved and complaining about it is just sour grapes. I enjoyed it, it was a simple piece of fluff meant to lighten your day. The music was good, the dialogue was inane, the plot was non-existent, but everyone was beautiful and it was on the whole a great sequel to a movie that wasn't meant to be anything other than a spoof. My only problem was,(POSSIBLE SPOILER)------- What the hell was the Thin Man doing there? Other than that I sat back, munched on some snacks and had a nice time. For those of you that thought this was abysmal then you will have a field day with The Hulk!
Good but not great
posted on 30 Aug 2009What's funny about this movie is, that one of the things thats supposed to be one of it's strongest features is a big let down!! No I'm not talking about the girls they look stunning :-) I'm talking about the action sequences, they are simply far far over the top, and even I who loves action movies, caught myself saying "thats not possible" and "wow thats unrealistic" and keep in mind that I love wild action movies!! So see this movie for the girls and some of the action, if you expect more you will not like this movie.
