5.0 out of 5 stars
Hilarious!!, April 9, 2004
First of all, I think the other reviewers who gave this movie such a bad rating were maybe taking the movie too seriously or something. I thought it was very funny and I personally did not like the first one because I did not think it was nearly as funny.
Give the movie a shot. If you rent it and after watching it you hate it, then you are only out about $3.

4.0 out of 5 stars
"Angel" Cake, March 29, 2004
The "Charlie's Angels" films are much like the opera. You either love it or hate it. I personally like 'em (this film was much better than "The Matrix Reloaded". That movie was pure geekboy trash (yes, I got all the metaphysical monkey crap & I still hated it)).
In "Full Throttle", the Angels are hired by the Justice Department to retrieve a set of titanium rings that have secured files (once hooked up and downloaded onto a computer) of all the applicants of the witness protection program. If fallen into the wrong hands, these files can be bought and sold at a mighty high price.
The film itself, just like the original, doesn't take itself seriously (come on people, its based on a jiggly 70's T.V. show for God's sake!). The Angels do have there own personal problems, among the best of them is, Dylan worrying if the Angels might be splitting up (Dylan has a vision of the future Angels, among them, her being teamed up with the Olsen twins!). The soundtrack is great including songs from Rob Zombie, Loverboy, The Beach Boys, and Pink.
The action is, sadly, what bogs the movie down. It's great to have a cool action sequence in a film like this, but, when the film relies way, way too much on "Matrix" style fighting and "Bullit" Time slow-motion, you can't help, but, role your eyes and feel there should be something original in its place. The action is also way too cartoonish. I'm not a big fan of motorcross but even I know a cyclist can't do a handstand, pull out a gun, fire off three shots, turn back around, and land perfectly on the ground! If there is a third film, McG should calm the action down quite a bit(how about just a plain old shoot out or bar fight w/ no slow-motion?) and have a good solid plotline (how about something along the lines: The Angels have to catch a killer who is slowly wiping out former Angel members). Overall, the movie is worth the rent.

not bad at all, September 14, 2003
By A Customer
I was surprised to see so many one star reviews for this movie. Personally I really thought it was good, but being a Lucy Liu fan makes a difference. I thought the second one was as good as the first -and it was more sexy.
