The original TV series, while not always terrible, was at least competently made, which is more than you can say about this confused mess. The idea of 3 more-or-less attractive women who happen to be private investigators would seem to be ripe for a decent storyline. Especially when all 3 Angels hare super-women who can outfight, outshoot, and outsmart any man alive, while dressed to the 9's and dispensing witty remarks along the way.
But despite a cast chock-full of talent, this thing just falls flat. The Angels have nothing interesting to do or say, and they can solve any conflict in no time flat - no situation ever challenges them.
Also this film has no continuity, no witty dialogue, no characters who are the least bit interesting. A movie about 3 Mary Sues is inevitably going to be dull and that's what Charlie's Angels is. I admit I only made it little over and hour before I couldn't watch anymore - it was just too boring and predictable. They should have named it "Charlie's Polished Turd" and I hope nobody ever does a remake.
