It was originally a girl-power, female led show about chicks kicking dudes' arse Is this something different from that?


The big difference is now you have a bunch of triggered figs constantly looking for their next source of outrage while bitching about the fragile nature of OTHER men.

Say what you want about Kristen Stewart, but she's a better actress than Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu. Her sex appeal, however, is nowhere close to the three aforementioned actresses.

A bigger problem is that she's nowhere near the box office draw Barrymore or Diaz were. Scott isn't either and the other is an unknown.

Naomi Scott is the only one of the three new actresses who is comparable.


The other one is pretty hot.


Two of them are hot then Stewart looks like Zack Morris

Hollywood overestimates how much chicks will spend to watch movies just because it stars chicks.

Charlie’s Angels shouldn’t be “OMG YAS KWEENS”

There’s no audience there for that

Women want movies with characters they can relate to. These stupid arse fake girl power movies are not appealing to anyone, women included.

Cameron Diaz was 100% a sex symbol
Same with Lucy Liu


I could make the argument for Cameronish, but not Lucy. I never saw her as that. Not saying they weren’t attractive, they all are.

Wouldn’t Angelina, Brittney Spears, Jessica Simpson, etc. have been more sex symbols at the time?

Elizabeth Banks is an unlikable SJW but not only is she an SJW , she is a FAKE arse SJW. Remember when she called out Steven Spielberg for not making film with more people of color and got called out for it?

People who are real SJW knows those basic shite before they call someone out.

Lucy definitely was and there's no argument about Diaz coming off There's Something About Mary. Lucy was THE hot Asian chick. Personally I was always more of a Ming Na guy.

Having read a few more reviews about this movie it is pretty easy to see where it went wrong.

Charlie's Angels, from the original TV series to the Drew Barrymore movies, was always a tongue in cheek romp. It never took itself too seriously.

Making a Charlie's Angels with more serious messages is like making an episode of Scooby Doo where Scooby gets rabies and Shaggy has to put him down. It ain't what people want to see thank you.

It could have been conservative messages instead of progressive ones and it still would have sucked. When we watch Charlie's Angels we want some comedy, a little bit of action, and some sexy women. That formula made the franchise a hit... with men and women.

When you get right down to it, and a lot of Hollywood types don't get this, we really don't want our expectations to be subverted thank you. If I'm going to see an action comedy I don't want to discover that the flick in question is actually a drama about a family dealing with their daughter dying from cancer.

Yeah...Elizabeth Banks is definitely not the brightest bulb in the SJW batch. All it takes is a quick glance at his filmography to see that Spielberg has made two very solid films featuring people of color called The Color Purple and Amistad.

Just switched over to Snow White and the Winter Huntsman on TNT to see just how bad Kristen Stewert really is and ...... she is really really bad.

How does she even get these gigs in the first place?

For comparison, the other two Charlie's Angels filmed opened at $40.1 million and $37.6 million respectively.


So a third attempt at something nobody wanted and little else?

Got it.

She used to get bent over tables a lot. Now she licks a lot of pussy in the new, female dominated post MeToo era.

Honestly, I think she'd been bent over so much that all the kink of straight sex just lost its appeal.

I didn't even know there was a new movie until today.

I mean, I don't plan on watching it, but I guess there really hasn't been any publicity?

Kristen Steward is likeable. Her Howard Stern interview and Hot Ones episode were good.

The previews for the movie looked terrible. Those girls had no chemistry.
