Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle

Amazing movie. So funny

I've loved this movie since it came out. There definitely are some moments within it that are cringey by today's standards (and even the standards back then), but I think that what makes me enjoy this movie is the female friendship, how strong these women are together and on their own, and how light the movie is (in terms of tone). Definitely a product of the girly girl-power type trend that was going on in the early 2000s, but what's wrong with being a girly girl? One can be badass and unapologetically "girly." I didn't really like the choice of villain or the villain's motives. But, for me it wasn't all about the plot. As a young girl when I first saw this, I was in awe because there just weren't many female led action movies like this at the time (and today too). Often if there is a female action character or even just female character, she is made to be so serious and no-nonsense or irrational and one dimensional. That portrayal exists in just about all the action movies. Such a lazy thing for movie studios and writers to do. I think this movie kinda breaks that habit (the Angels are funny, have lives, are kickass, and are super tight with each other), but there's still a ways to go, although I do see studios getting there. Looking forward to Captain Marvel! As for keeping true to the source (the TV show), I think it generally does a good job of keeping the premise going (Charlie, the Angels, Bosley, the big case, disguises, gadgets, going undercover). I think it's still sexist with its exploitative, biased, and stereotyped portrayal of women just like the TV show was, but maybe a little less so. I hope the next iteration of Charlie's Angels really tackles that aspect and puts it away for good.

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle is a 2003 action/comedy film that is the direct sequel to the 2000 film Charlie's Angels. McG returned to direct the film, which brought back Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu to reprise their roles as the Angels Dylan, Natalie, and Alex. Crispin Glover, Luke Wilson, and Matt LeBlanc also reprised their roles from the first movie. The additions to the cast included Demi Moore, Robert Patrick, John Cleese, Shia LeBeouf, Justin Theroux, Bernie Mac, and Ja'Net Dubois. The film also features several cameo appearances, including Carrie Fisher, Pink, Robert Forester, Bruce Willis, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Jaclyn Smith, reprising her role as Kelly Garrett from the TV series. The plot involves a pair of rings that contain and unlock a list of people in the witness protection program. The list is stolen and set to be sold to various criminal organizations. A couple of revenge plots are intertwined within the story, and we get a bit more backstory about Crispin Glover's character. This is a single-disc release containing both the theatrical version of the film and an unrated version that adds a few more minutes to the runtime, mostly by adding more violence to a couple of the big fight scenes. The extras include several commentary tracks on the film. There is an audio and a telestrator commentary by McG. The audio tracks are exactly the same, but the telestrator commentary is annotated with things being circled in the background of some of the scenes while McG talks. Then, there is a commentary track by a couple of the writers. The theatrical version can also be played with a trivia track, where information about the movie is displayed in pop-up boxes while it plays. Then there are several different making-of and behind-the-scenes featurettes, a preview for the 2019 reboot, and the music video for Pink's song Feel Good Time. Ultimately, the movie is a fun action-comedy. It is similar in style and tone to the first movie. It does have a lot of adult humor that skirts the bounds of what can be included in a PG-13 film. If you liked the first movie, you will probably like this one. Like the first film, this one takes a lot of suspension of disbelief and has some plot holes, but if you do not overthink it and just enjoy it for what it is, it is worth watching.

Great action movie and great actors couldn't quit watching

Me and my children love watching this movie

Love it

Unbelievably funny and one of the best of the series. However, BEWARE of censorship - in a scene with Drew Barrymore...you are not warned or notified before renting or buying and if you have any eagle eye like my husband, he noticed it immediately...In one of his fave scenes the Angels are dancing with the real-life PussyCat Dolls! It's an awesome, pretty sexy (but really PG-13...really) the entire time...and in one scene Drew's character (fully clothed) is pushing her breasts against a patron...well, you won't see that on the Amazon version and we still can't figure it out. It won't wreck your experience at all it will probably just piss you off. Of course, if your new to the flick, you won't even notice.

Absolutely love the original 2000 movie so really wanted to get this sequel. Only the theatrical version is available on streaming but when I learnt there was an unrated version I just knew I had to buy it! Also wasn't sure if a Blu-Ray would play on my PS3 but it did, and I got the viewing experience that I wanted!

Envoi rapide et bien reçu.
