Summary: The Angels Come Up Short on this misson
Comment: Okay. This is not a horrible movie. But it is nothing like the first one. If you are looking for this movie to be as good or better than the first, it's not going to happen.
There is about as much action in this one as the first, maybe even more. But there really is no story line going on. They had good intentions, but it doesn't really go anywhere. It's supposed to be a continuation from the first and in certain parts you get maybe a little hint here and there, but mostly you find you have to remind yourself what is going on. They actually repeated a lot of scenes from the first one but did so in a different light, angle, degree, concept.
This move is just okay. I recommend renting or borrowing, but not buying this. No where near as good as the first.

Summary: Needed more Kelly
Comment: After watching this movie and drawing my own conclusions,I give it two stars. I did not buy it,...rented it instead. Anyway,I came to the conclusion that it lacked a plot,...that was problem no.1. Problem no.2,
Bernie Mac as Bosley was downright horrible. Problem no.3,Kelly(Jaclyn
Smith)was not given a big enough role in this movie. Her appearance in
the film was all too brief to say the least. I would have loved to have seen Kelly go after Angel-gone-bad Demi Moore and show her a few things about respect for the boss,...Charlie,of course! Drew,Cameron,and Luci
were okay,...but they lacked the professionalism that the original Angels
had. This movie would have been better if Kelly would have had a much bigger role in the film. In fact,she could have ran the office in place of Bosley in this film,...perhaps better. Still,the film was okay to say the least. It could have used a bit more of a story line,and still have the humor. Since Kelly(Jaclyn Smith)was not given a much bigger role in this flm,I will not be buying it!

Summary: Great fun
Comment: In a summer of films stacked up with sequels to long dormant franchises (e.g,,Terminator,Freddy) it's great to finally get a sequel to a film that was damn fine to begin with.Teaming up with the original film's director McG (who,to date,has yet to helm any film aside from these two),the original cast return also for a sequel which manages to be just as loud,colourful,sexy,fun and exciting as it's predecessor. Aside from a seemingly endless array of celebrity cameos,there are some exciting new additions to the credited cast list as well.To begin with,we have the growingly popular Bernie Mac replacing Bill Murray as Bosley.It's a pretty huge plot contrievance to explain how a black man has taken over a role originally played by a white man,but I'm sure Bill had his reasons for pulling out and Mac is well worth the replacement,as he provides the film with some sassing black attitude in the Shaft vein,matched by some hilariously funny moments on his behalf.Speaking of humour,comedy legend John Cleese turns up as Alex's (Lucy Liu) father (her mother must have been black).His appearance in a film is no guarantee of quality,as the James Bond film The World is Not Enough proved,but here he adds a pleasant air of fun by providing the already good time flick with some more amusing comic relief.And finally,we have a screen comeback (she'd disagree with me on that count,but it's my review,hahaha) from Demi Moore as the villainess of the piece,who,it has to be said,looks absolutely fabulous at 40,displaying a body and curves for a woman of her advancing years to be very proud of.How much of this is down to surgery or just ageing well is unclear,but it sure rubbed off on this viewer. Of the remaining central cast,Liu and Drew Barrymore are appealing enough,but the star (or,at least,the babe) of the show remains the gorgeous Cameron Diaz,the ultimate chick of the piece,sassy,seductive and just fine to look at. There's some fine dialogue and one liners on offer here as well,complimented by a brilliant soundtrack and a lot of explosive,exciting action sequences.Sure,the vast majority of them are totally implausible,but it's not as if this pretended to be anything other than a no brainer piece of eye candy. And of course,although in fairness it's equally as good,it can't match up to the original on the grounds that the original is the original.And the story is somewhat incoherent,wavey and off course.But given the success of the original,it was inevitable that this was going to be made anyway,and if it stands a chance of being any more of a ride than the first two films,a third instalment is greatly anticipated.You go girl.

Summary: Demi Moore almost spoils it ...
Comment: ... but it's still a pretty good film. More of the same, but less so, although I think this relies on too much CGI to show Demi Moore in a bikini. Still entertaining.

Summary: Crap Sequel To A Crap Show
Comment: I got this as my sisters wanted to see this movie and after watching it myself I truly wish I could get those two hours back. The main story is that the Angels are supposed to protect the boy in the witness protection program since some unknown person or group seem to be killing off certain people in the witness protection program and the information they get points to this boy being next. Of course there is some more to the story but if you're like me you'll probably just won't care what they are after watching thirty minutes of this god awful movie. I like the three main actresses but it's no surprise that there is no talk in the works for Charlie's Angels 3. Spare yourself the money and time and just buy some other action movie that is truly worth it
