Elena Houghlin is a scientist, engineer and inventor of Calisto -- a sustainable energy source that will revolutionize the way people use power. It will be ready as soon as she works out the last issue, if not it could be turned into a dangerous weapon. But when the cutting edge technology is pushed to an investor before she can do that, Elena turns to the Townsend Agency for help. Now, it's up to the Angels -- Jane, Sabina, and the newly recruited Elena -- to retrieve Calisto before it can be transformed into a weapon of mass destruction.
2019s ‘Charlie’s Angels’ is a fun watch with a great cast, especially a scene-stealing Kristen Stewart (she has a dance number and I need her in a ‘Step Up’ movie ASAP). I really hope this does well, as there is huge potential for sequels exploring all these new Angels. If you like pure joy, I highly recommend checking it out on the big screen.

A pointless reboot for the Woke generation. I wouldn't mind quite so much if the director focused more on a believable storyline than a Twitter-pleasing one instead.
Banal to the extreme, a complete waste of time and money: these contemporary iP reboots simply are not working, especially when the political dogma is more or less forced down one's throats for the sake of a good story,

I really did want to like it.
So many of these girl-power-team-up action films that we've gotten in the past decade feel so hollow. Don't get me wrong, I know there is a huge sect of assholes that were absolutely unwilling to ever give this movie a chance, and had pre-ordained that it would be terrible and they hate it before a single frame was shot, and that almost every single dude in that sect made that decision specifically because of the fact that it's a movie with women in the forefront, and it is good and right to target those dudes with your derision. But having actually watched it... Yeah it's feminism with a teeny splash of gay but like... It's a very corporate feminism and a very under-the-rug-able gay. Which isn't good, but could have been fine, except that it was the only thing that I was looking forward to, and also seems to be what makes Charlie's Angels think it has done enough. But it's so boardroom driven and paper-thin, which I could hack if the actual plot was any good or any number of other things that you normally look to a movie for, but by and large those aspects aren't just hollow, they're straight-up bad.
Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product.

I have seen worse. I have seen better. Charlie’s Angles was always a part of jiggle tv which made it sadly a labeled brand no matter what direction you approach it from.
However I refuse to engage in a pointless debate of judging Elizabeth Banks Girl Power version vs. Mc Q’s non stop pop culture sample a thon.
Both seem to me a mirror image of lucridity that belongs to their respective eras.
My opinion should be given greater weight on this matter because I found a way to use the word Lucridity.

The fight scenes were pretty bad on some of it. The movie was decent for the comedy but not for the action.
