Charlies Angels 2

Mr E

I know its just a vacuous, leave-your-brain-at-home 2 hour music video, but I thought it was good fun. Some of the stunts were incredibly over the top, you can't help but enjoy them.

My 2 main criticisms are:

1. Bernie Mac as Bosley. There were times where I couldn't understand a word he was saying.... was it just me?

2. Justin Theroux as "Seamus O'Grady" (no, really). If Empire reran their "worst accents ever" poll, this guy would definitely make the top 10. Never before have I seen someone's accent change 3 or 4 times within the same piece of dialogue! He's from Dublin, no wait, he's from Northern Ireland, no hang on, he's from Wicklow, no wait, he's from Far-and-Away-land, no, he's back in Dublin again..... God, I cringed every time he opened his mouth!

I understood him perfectly I saw it over in the states so I guess I'm used to the accent.

Justin Theroux as "Seamus O'Grady" (no, really).

Colin Farrell (or any other Irish guy) would have been better.

It was probably the second worst film I saw in the states, after the Hulk.

Terminator 3 was surprisingly good!

I was about to start a thread about Charlie's Angels 2, I have yet to see it but I am interested as to how Bosley changed colour mid-way through a series of films, what happened to Bill Murray, he rocked!

Also is the Hulk actually bad, please say it ain't so

The Irish Mob were pretty bad actually, seeing as some of them were meant to be Irish, some Northern Irish, and another guy was Scottish?

I didn't think the film was awful, just don't go in expecting much. It's fun. Ass-kicking, music-video, over-the-top fun. Turn off your brain before you go in and just enjoy the action

Bernie Mac was very much un-funny though (I understood what he was saying, but that didn't make it any funnier).

Mr E

I understood what he was saying most of the time, but he mumbled some of his lines (lines which I presume were funny, because some people laughed!)

went to see this last night.
have to admit, i would recommend it. its bloody brilliant.
its camp, its funny, its pretty outrageous. it steals bits from everywhere, its got so many cameos i couldnt keep up, but most of all, it was just a funny entertaining kick-ass film.

and of course you get three lovely ladies showing off their fine booties

WhiteWashMan

oops, there was no thread when i started this!
stick it in the other one wil ya

This is the second worst film I have ever seen.
The worst one was the original.
No plot,ridiculously artificial stunts,cardboard cutout acting.
No more dumb films.
Films like this are ruining cinema.
I can just see the studio planning the next sequel.
Lets get 3 sexy babes,nice locations,fast cars,lots of stunts and a catchy soundtrack.
We'll make it up as we go along.

If Charlies Angels 1 was the worst movie you've ever seen, why did you go to see the sequel.
Personally, the only reason I'd even consider going to see this movie is because of the bootie.
Charlies Angels 2: Cameron Diaz and her magical swinging ass.

MisterAnarchy

I had to go;the ball and chain made me.
God help me.

it sounds like xXx, james bond, fast and furious, speed, and a whole host of other films (except with nice babes in it)

GET YOUR OWN CRAPPY PLOTS GIRLS!

did anyone else think that cameron diaz looked a bit ming in teh film? But the other two shawiiiiiiinng.

Thought it was rubbish too - and I kinda enjoyed the original.

The effects were pretty awful throughout the film, especially during the bike section. There were lots of ocassions where you could see a kind of aura around them where they'd been digitally added in, which really ruins the effect.

Having said that, the opening FX on the bridge was pretty impressive, and there were a few funny bits too.

Won't be buying the DVD.....

yea i thought i was just see'in things, that was pretty crap.

all in all i dont think its a film ment to be taken too seriously anyway.

Retr0gamer

Thought it was pure crap. The only good bits were the CSI joke and lucy luis mini skirt.

Thought the Hulk was better although it wasn't a great film. Took far too long until there was any kind of action.

I hated the first one and I think I'll wait for video if I ever see this one.
Question: How did Bosley suddenly become a black man.

Blitzkrieger

Try to pay attention : Bosslllleeeeyyyyy!!!! is more a job than a person - like they were intimating that Angel's retired and were replaced with new Angels.

He was a bit hit and miss. I missed some of his lines because he was mumbling but I thought the bit at the start

when Charlie asks if the girls are treating him alright, and he says derisively : "****! I date fat women....."

was class.

In the series they were.

Jill left and was replaced by her sister Kris.

Kate (thankfully) eventually left and was replaced with Tiffany, who was replaced by Julie after another year by which time the show was on its last legs.

Kelly Garrett (yay!, the fanciable one with the high cheekbones) stayed from beginning to end without breaking a fingernail.

One of THE worse movies ever. No redeming factors apart from the fact that at times it was so bad it was funny.

Sposs

Force to see it by the oul ball and chain but have to admit it was great,stunts were so unbelievable they were brillant,it was so corny i just couldnt help but laugh,would recommend it to anyone who likes hot babes,cool stunts and a good laugh.

EvilGeorge

God I wish I was drunk watching this - pure and utter muck.
If they weren't good looking girlies I would have walked out of this one. Such a shame that they can still produce such rubbish.
Bill Murray had the right idea not to do this one.

neGev

Utter tripe, but a few funny(ish) bits. Whether it was intentional humour or not is a matter of debate.
:rolleyes:

Went to see it with my girlfriend. I hadn't seen the first one so I had a pretty open mind but I can honestly say that it is the worst film I have ever seen. We walked out on it after about an hour and a bit. Utter ****e. Another 4 quid and I could have gotten the Audioslave abum off Play.com. That struck me as I walked through the door of the Savoy. And boy did it hurt.
