Charlie's Angels is a sometimes entertaining, but mostly boring spy film. It has a talented cast for sure, but a screenplay that leaves a lot to be desired, and a lot of the jokes fall flat.
Female empowerment absolutely has a place in action cinema, a genre that is completely outbalanced in terms of gender roles, but the film as a whole zones in on it so much, that everything around it feels secondary, and as a result, the finished product is a drag.

Also, John Bosley is a villain now for reasons apparently, and I'm sad about it.

holy wowza!!
I LOVED this film. The pacing, the cinematography, the characters, the plot, literally everything about it. I loved the details and the fact that it felt real. I think sometimes films like these, especially ones Netflix does, can have the intentions of being real but they just aren't. I think there's a little bit of Ellie, of Paul, of Aster, in all of us. I am in love with this film. Alice Wu knocked it out of the park and I can guarantee I will be watching this film over and over again. I am in love.
