Three cute girls,plenty of flesh and a tongue-in-cheek approach made this an entertaining if lightweight effort from McG. I can fully understand why Bill Murray had had enough of these three ladies,but put them in skimpy outfits,especially in that bar scene and well....that's enough for me.

People paid good money spunky stained hand over clenched fist to see Cameron Diaz shake her booty so hypnotically in the first movie.
And that seemed to be the sole reason to make this sequel.
Hell, they even make it a selling point in the poster!
What the hell, I went to see this at the cinema in the summer of 2003. What do I know?

Well, I must say that I thought that the first film was rather cheesy, but it was fun enough to make that ok. However, this second film seemed from the previews to be going for a more suspense field with the rogue agent concept. So, I wondered if McG could cut back on the cheese enough to make the lower fun levels acceptable.
In this film, the Angels find out that the two rings that hold the secret of the witness protection program files are being stolen. They also find out that Drew Barrymore’s character was in the program herself after ratting out her dirtbag boyfriend as a teen. They are able to get the rings back together and give…

Did McG forget
That Looney Tunes work better
When they're not too long? -
I think on a balance, I enjoy this more than the original, purely because it doesn't strive for legitimacy, instead embracing its inherent absurdity.
And God damn are Demi Moore and Justin Theroux hot in this.

I am a huge fan of the first Charlie's Angels film. I thought the cast had remarkable chemistry and it was loads of fun and great to look at.
This sequel, however, is a mess. While it still has some great stunts and cool scenes, none of it makes any sense. In fact, it seems like it isn't even trying. They replace Bill Murray with Bernie Mac and that was the least of its problems (I am a huge fan of both actors). There are unnecessary characters, unnecessary plot points, unnecessary twists and terrible bits of dialogue.
I really wanted to like this movie but it was a huge disappointment.

The stars here go to each of the leading ladies - The Angels Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu and villain Demi Moore for the flesh they show and sex appeal they have during this over-long pastiche of what could have been a decent sequel ,directed once more like an MTV music video by McG.
The Angels must find a set of stolen rings that hold the names of all names on the governments witness protection programme. That;s about it, and there are more double crosses and glamorous CG enhanced fight sequences and action shots you can handle as the girls battle and dance their way to the final showdown with one of their own.
If I say the film…

Full Throttle is popcorn overdrive ladies and gentle people :) Come on, three hot women, skinny outfits, cars, bikes, guns..what's not to like! This 1 is even more over the top than the Angels flick before it but that won't hold me back enjoying the ridiculous stuff on screen.

The first Charlie's Angels winks at its source material and has a visual style that indicates the director's pop sensibilities, but it's the sequel that really goes hog wild. Full Throttle lives up to its name by cranking the absurdity up to 11, resulting in a film that's more fun, more funny, and more memorable than its predecessor. The cartoon logic of it does get a little exhausting by the finale (the big climax would've been a great place for a "serious" action sequence with clear choreography), and Bernie Mac is a really terrible substitute for Bill Murray (stretching so hard and so far for some "edgy" humor), but the way McG claims the ridiculousness of this movie is kinda infectious.

Ykkösosaa toistava, olevinaan hauska ja seksikäs, vauhtipläjäys. Lucy Liu onnistuu jälkimmäisenä mainitussa adjektiivissa.
