Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

First, a lot of people are bashing this reboot of Angels down. For acting, story lines, what ever reason. For me this was like a dream come true when made. They kept the spirit of the original series alive, and did not go into these endless & countless bigger than life conspiracy series.What I liked about Charlies Angels, was. the chemistry between the actors. The Girls seemed to get a long well and characters were friends as well. Three different girls, with skills to compliment each other. And they updated Bosley from a comical sidekick, to a sexy guy equal to Angels. OK, I am biased here. I love Ramon Rodriguez... The story lines were easy to follow, and nothing too complicated. Yes, the holes you can walk an elephant through, but who cares!!! This is Angels. For me, this was a very well made reboot of my childhood favorite. And refreshing in the way, that this was lighthearted and good no nonsense entertainment... Unfortunately did not succeed to turn a lot of people around. Shame. I loved, liked, and truly enjoyed. Not perfect, but close.With a full Hands Down, I do recommend this

Dirty cop Kate Prince (Annie Ilonzeh), cat burglar Abby Sampson (Rachael Taylor), and Gloria work for the mysterious Charlie Townsend in Miami fighting crime outside the law enforcement with the help of hacker John Bosley (Ramon Rodriguez). When Gloria is killed by a car bomb, they investigate Eve French (Minka Kelly) who turns out to be Gloria's childhood friend and a car thief.Instead of concentrating on creating compelling characters, this show is more interested in a dark convoluted Miami Vice. The girls are hot but the characters lack interest. Eve is suppose to be a car thief. It's the perfect opportunity to start the show with a fun car chase. The show needs to start with her personality and her story before getting recruited by Charlie. Minka Kelly's acting is still in question. I don't recall if she even drives in the show. The girls start without any rooting interest and fail to improve. They are empty models with bravado. It's action without any fun. There is no joy here. It was canceled after four episodes with only eight overall. The franchise started as jiggle TV, transformed into irreverent action movies, and stalled into unengaging action TV.

Having watched all of the Charlie's Angels series/films I find this one to be the best of all. Certainly, like the others, there are a whole load of contrived situations. They all seem to be able to find jobs overnight in the situation targeted - just like the previous Angels. I wonder how much of all three productions used body doubles/stand-ins. I noticed that Drew Barrimore (of Charlie's Angels from 2000 and its follow up - Full Throttle 2003) was executive producer for this series. Shame that there won't be a second series. Interesting too was the choice of "Bosley" (Ramon Rodriguez) - he seems to better fit the "job" than did David Doyle (1976 series).

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I disagree with those that think this is a bad show. My first impression was the opposite, that it was a well-made piece of entertainment. Production values are good, it looks great, the action scenes are good, and I thought the stories were good too. I think it is 100 times better than the original.For a piece of pure escapism, the stories do mention the dark side of life a bit, with one angel dying in the first episode, mentioning Latin American death squads, sex trafficking, hooking a girl on drugs against her will, the episode in Cuba. I liked the line "When the Castros buy the collective farm." One negative is that Rachael Taylor looks pale and anorexic,she looks different to me than when she was in Transformers and the movie Bottle Shock.I'm definitely on Team Minka. Mediocrity or worse is the norm in TV, this show and Pan Am I think are way above average.
