harlies Angels stars, is co-written and directed by Elizabeth Banks and also stars Sir Patrick Stewart, Sam Claflin, Kristen Stewart, Ella Balinski and Naomi Scott the latter 3 being the new Angels who have to stop a deadly EMP weapon from being detonated around the world killing millions of people.
Charlies Angels surprisingly is actually pretty good fun and I definitely had a good time watching this in a cinema and a big part of that is due to Ms Banks’s work as a director and writer, she definitely shows signs of improvement in the directors chair after Pitch Perfect 2 in 2015 and she does a nice job directing the action scenes and not over cutting them in the editing room.
Also the 3 Angels have very good chemistry and any doubts I had going into the film as to whether they would deliver the goods very quickly evaporated after the opening scene as they have great chemistry, perform the physical action very well and really emerge as stars on the rise especially Ms Scott who radiates off the screen, is very charismatic and a good actress as well.
And lastly I enjoyed seeing Sir Patrick Stewart and Mr Claflin again in slightly more substantial roles than they might have gotten in the past though everytime Mr Claflin came on screen all I could think was “Finnick.”
And so that was Charlies Angels and its not the best movie I’ve seen this year but it was a film I had fun with, 3 out of 5.
