Redux Month - Charlie's Angels Full Throttle

Oh boy, we’re back to this one. So, Redux month continues with Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle

I gave this quite a scathing review back in the day but has time changed my mind? Well in part, but to that in a moment. McG is back in the director’s chair and John August is back with the story, Cormac and Marianne Wibberly are now helping to write the screenplay, I Spy and The 6^th Day were their only credited films at this point.

Making $259.1m on a $120m budget meant the movie wasn’t as successful as the first, and with a 49% RT rating, it was less critically successful as well, what went wrong? Let’s take another look.

Sequel Baiting #6 - Charlie's Angels vs Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle

Time for something for little less serious. There have been hundreds of takes on the spy genre, but none scream girl power quite like Charlie’s Angels. Based on the 80s TV show, Charlie’s Angels followed 3 sexy spies doing missions for their faceless man known as Charlie. I’ve not seen the show, but I’ve seen the movies… Oh, have I seen the movies. Although the show was ultimately cancelled due to low ratings, Charlie’s Angels has gained a bit of a cult following, can’t imagine why *cough*boobs*cough* spawning the creation of Charlie’s Angels in 2000 and Full Throttle in 2003. (Also a 2011 revival series and a 2019 remake *sigh*) critically and commercially, the first comes out on top, but we’re not here to look at what other people think.
