Charlies Angel Full Throttle,oh dear...

Whilst I never expected anything great I was disappointed to say the least.
I have sat through the S Club movie and Josie and the Pussycats and by comparison with Charlies Angels FT both of those deserve Oscars.
Full Throttle,perhaps that should do that the movie and quick,no more,please

Its just 100% mindless, noisy, action based entertainment from start to stop. What did you expect?

I haven't seen it. After being tortured with the first one I'd rather cut my arms off than watch this release.

....which will probably have a few headbutts or somesuch removed from it, courtesy of the distributor's desire to get a 'low' certification.

Why aren't you R1 compatible? You should be.

I am Region 1 compatible. But minor edits (such as removal of headbutts etc) don't bother me too much. If I disagree with edits made then I certainly get the Region 1 version. But for Charlies Angels I am content just to have a cut Region 2 version - I mean I'm not going to watch it that often.

It doesn't help that they lost the first movie's biggest talent from the cast:

Bill Murray

Come on, it is not meant to be deep and moving, you switch it on, watch it, smile every so often, enjoy the outlandish stunts, and the eye candy, switch it off.

Not every film has to have depth!

Surely it was meant to be entertaining though!

I consider Lucy Liu to be a fairly exquisite form of entertainment all on her own
