Review of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003) by Jordan K — 29 Feb 2016

The second Charlie's Angels isn't worse but is about as bad as the first. It has this ambition to set itself up as a successful film series, but it fails at its attempts at broadening horizons and creating an engaging universe. Plus the story is pretty bad too.

The Charlie's Angels team is back at it again, encountering threats to the President, Demi Moore as a crazed ex Angel, and revenge from Dylan's (Drew Barrymore) gang leader ex boyfriend. And Bernie Mac plays Bill Murray's brother in this one - the fim openly tends to hint about Murray.

The Charlie's Angels series doesn't have much actual logic to it, it's action lover eye candy at its worst. The second one, although it has better attempts at making a story and an obvious attempt at making a film universe out of it, is bombarded with cheesy visuals, still terrible acting, and a fondness for constant, unneeded cameos. A key aspect the film needs is to at least be fun - of course, it isn't. The film is so fast paced and brainless that it leaves you with literally nothing walking out of it. I have a feeling even lovers of the original film will be left disappointed by the mediocracy of the sequel. Once again, Charlie's Angels is terrible.
