Charlie's Angels - DVD + Digital
A**Z
Better than the Last Charlie's Angels, but traded reality for stunts and odd casting.
The girls are fine with all their "Girl Power" mojo. It is better to have female equivalents in a professions, because we are all individuals, and an Army Officer like me fought so you have have that right. Debora the female Biblical Judge led an Jewish army back 4,000 ago, so healthy "Girl Power" already exists long ago and women should train to become better people. I still give it 5-Stars because it was entertaining and it is better than the other's Charlie's Angels in terms of realism. But why not keep doing taser, pepper spray, and rubber bullets if you want to keep it non-lethal. Yeah, you would have to wear masks and be more pratical with the gear. Also, many scenes impractical and even the premise is flawed. Elane, the Employee, could simply publish an article explaining the problems with the software and then she should have been chased by the bad guys. It is their product and the weaponization is more of a feature (That needs to be disclosed). Why? Thieves do break in to people's houses and not everyone wants to use guns to protect their families. Guns are very dangerous and not ideal in close proximity. AND SUPER MESSY.... blood everywhere. Who wants pools of blood all over the place? That is live rounds. I think is more a Product Management miscommunication. Yeah, intentional failure to disclose the product's safety features and lack of safety is required by Law. However, items in the market include weapons (ex. shotguns, security cameras, flame throwers) and should be disclosed. A real marketer would sell it as a feature for extra cash, which still requires safety, multiple checks prior to market, and full disclosure to any customer. The first to market is a good theory and Agile/Scrum Methodology prefers to fail quickly with products in order to try to innovate (something is better than nothing) as long as it is not dangerous to the user/buyer and everything is disclosed properly. Why would you to use a shotgun over the weaponized software against a thief to stop a thief? Sabina and Jane make a good team, but again, why not use tasers and pepper spray to quickly disable the men and it is more practical that punches. Just because you are doing "Girl Power" you should not trade "Safety" and reality for theatrics if you are really trying to make women become better individuals. Again. It was entertaining, but you should never trade realism for theatrics if you are trying to portray an realistic organization and be serious about "Women Power". It is still better than any Cameron Diaz butt shacking in the name of "Women Power". It was rather funny and clever to try to tie in the last film with this one for continuity. Defiantly smarter dialogue, which does make it feel like women are taking science to the next level. I still do not get the Mint stunt. Again. Taser and pepper spray is more logical and practical an Mint Stunt. Even with guns. You always want distance between you and your enemy, so you can hit them multiple times if necessary and avoid getting blood on you. Guns with rubber bullets to quickly take the men down while reducing legal liability. Real bullet wounds is a very blood mess. Again. Hurting people is not fun, but everyone has the right to self-defense under the right to retreat to their rooms for protection. Again, I know that this is entertainment, but very illegal and product defects can be handled by courts. I did see it at the end, which was clever, but the Angels' broke the law several times, even if their hearts are in the right place lol! Again. I know it is a movie and for fun, so I give it 5-Star entertaining me with your Hollywood Magic. The next one should be more realistic and practical with less unnecessary stunts if you want to capture a realist's imagination without constantly forgiving plot-holes and legal violations. Plus, I cannot see Mr. Star Trek as anything as Mr. Star Trek. Odd choice and really detracted from the movie. It felt like a bad episode of Star Trek, which I am not much of a fan. It keep pulling me realism away. 5-Stars for smart Hollywood Magic, but the premise still feels like a Product Management miscommunication and mismanagement that led to the illegal failure-to-disclosure. And thus, the violence for a product feature that needs to be properly monetized, tested, and marketed seems odd. But that is my opinion of the movie. Just an opinion.

Don't Bother
This wasn’t a bad movie. It wasn’t a particularly good one either. This is one of those movies where you notice the plot holes as they are happening versus hours or days later, LOL. Seriously, this was not a good script.I thought the direction was good, although like many action movies, some of the action scenes weren’t as clearly edited as they could have been. I do find it more than a little odd that Elizabeth Banks would publicize this as some feminist achievement, though. The first Charlie’s Angel movie was far more empowered than this muddy mess.Wow, Kristen’s character is a lesbian. I’m pretty sure 95% of the audience didn’t pick up on that, since the movie goes to rather ridiculous lengths to downplay it, as if being a lesbian is something to be ashamed of. And the other two “angels” are defined by 1) being smart, so of course she must be a nerd and 2) having a crush on a cute boy.Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t watch this movie because I wanted a treatise on feminism in the modern age, but if you’re going to pin all your hopes and expectations for the movie’s success on being a feminist classic, then maybe you should actually attempt to celebrate the power of women. Or else just write a decent script and let it tell your story for you.Beyond the many plot holes, I’m sure most people who watched this weren’t expecting some revolutionary movie, but I read a lot of the publicity leading up to this movie’s release, and I expected so much more than what I saw.I should have realized when the “event” video/song released was a song titled “Don’t Call Me Angel” for a movie that is literally about women that are called angels.What bizarre messaging (both the video and the movie) for a film that has such a mediocre script, even if the production values, directing, and acting were all wonderful. It all begins and ends with the story, and the story was generic and illogical.

Giving a good review ONLY on the quality of the disc and case
The movie itself was garbage. I love Charlie's Angels and spent a whole day movie marathoning so that I could watch the new one. Honestly I hated it. It would have been decent if it was a stand alone movie, but for some reason they tried to make it a Charlie's Angel movie. It has nothing to do with Charlie's Angels other then it's women and they added the title of the agency. Completely garbage. I believe in feminism but even I felt like I was having it shoved down my throat. I just want a good action movie with female camaraderie. Don't buy this.

INCREDIBLE MOVIE
DO NOT LISTEN TO THE SEXIST BILLION YEAR OLD MALE CRITICS (and people in general) WHO HATED ON THIS MOVIE!!! It was SO GOOD I had to get it on DVD. It was forward thinking, cinema shaking, life changing female empowerment. Ok that was an exaggeration, it didn't absolutely change my life, but still it's a really great movie. Cool fight scenes and stunts, gorgeous outfits (and some comedic costume changes the Charlie's Angels franchise is known for, even in this modern power focused adaptation), immaculate soundtrack (always a pleasure to hear a girl power anthem from Miss Ariana Grande, and for this film we got an entire soundtrack of them, along with many other talented artists), and incredibly talented cast. Love it, and I wish it got the love it deserved instead of everyone hating it just because it's feminist🙄.

This is a must have movie Kristen Stewart totally redeemed herself in my eyes as an actor. The action is fantastic nice little curve ball at the end couldn't ask for anything better.

ENTRETENIDA
Al igual que sus antecesoras, la pelicula sirve para pasar un buen rato comiendo palomitas. Nunca espere una gran pelicula y justo es lo que esperaba. Tiene buenas escenas de accion y las protagonistas son de gran carisma y conectan bien con el publico. Para pasar un buen rato. El 4K, con el HDR se ven bastante bien. El sonido es en Dolby Atmos y cumple (en lo personal, me gustan mas los formatos DTS-X porque los Dolby vienen mas comprimidos) pero se escucha bien.
