Page 1 of Charlie`s Angels 2: Full Throttle...
General Forum
Ok, so I went to see this today. I enjoyed the first one on a purely popcorn-action-fluff-fun way. Now, believe it or not, Full Throttle is a worse film than the first, and when I say "film" I mean cohesive plot.
But I wasn`t going to see this film for the story, I went to see the action and the girls, mainly Cameron Diaz. Although there were a few surprises, including a great Bruce Willis cameo, also John Cleese and Matt Le Blanc had funny scenes together, although what they were doing has been done so many times before (you`ll know what I mean *if* you see it ;-) ). Crispin Glover was even more insane as the Thin Man, but he was still funny as hell in his short part. But he`ll always be George McFly ;-)
Can`t say much more. The film is literally complete s***, but the action and Cameron Diaz hold it together. But if you didn`t like the first, you`ll hate this.
Also, Carrie Fisher plays a nun, AGAIN!!!
Christ, at least no little punk stoner tries to go down on her in this film (only a 12A)
And also, some of the editing in the fights is poor in places, but this might be due to the BBFC cutting out all those headbutts....Bastards!

RE: Charlie`s Angels 2: Full Throttle...
in short I like the first, but like the 2nd less
I posted a longer though at dvdforums.com where many others feel the same...
Yeah, Full Throttle doesn`t even feel like a proper film. Demi Moore as the bad chick doesn`t even seem to be a part of the film until the end.
Anyone else going to see it?
(I take from the lack of response that you`re all either away to watch it or you couldn`t give a f*ck. My guess is with the latter ;-) )

RE: Charlie`s Angels 2: Full Throttle...
"cohesive plot" are you s***ting me? Did the first film have anything resembling a plot? What did you expect except santised pseudo-porn that all those ridiculous post-feminists can call empowering?
Regardless, it`s done crap business so we probably won`t see a second sequel. Now will McG please go away and crawl into whatever Gap ad producing marketing firm he crawled out of.

Well, I was just saying that this film is even more disjointed than the first, but sorry you took it so personal ;-)
And it has not done crap. It had a slightly smaller opening than the first film, but has held fairly steady business and has currently grossed more than the first.

Loved the film!!
Cameron Diaz in a skimpy white bikini - mmm..... ;)
RE: Charlie`s Angels 2: Full Throttle...
I don`t think I could sit through it to be honest. Sorry!
Disapointed with Cleese, he seems happy to appear in any old s*** these days.

Cleese has never done anything good after Meaning of Life.

Meaning Of Life was sh*t, and A Fish Called Wanda was quite funny IMO ;-)

In the entire history of film, has any female ever looked as hot as Demi Moore does in this movie?
Yeah, Demi Moore in Striptease.
Diaz. BLAH. Barrymore. BLAH. Lu. BLAH.
