20 Worst Movies Of 2019
6. Charlie’s Angels
Like What Women Want, Charlie’s Angels didn’t seem like it particularly needed an update twenty years later. The cult TV show already had fondly remembered (if incredibly cheesy) ‘00s remake, and that, along with is sequel, felt like enough.
The trailers, stars and stellar soundtrack for this new version of Charlie's Angels promised something fun and funky but director Elizabeth Banks was desperate to cement the movie as a political statement. The two ideas clashed and drove punters away, but those who stayed were treated to something neither that fun or political, but instead just very mundane.
The real shame is that the three new Angels, played by Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska, all clearly have talent but the characterisation is just too loose and propped up by a poor plot to ever go anywhere.
