Charlie’s Angels 3? Oh good grief. Look, I actually really enjoyed the first Charlie’s Angels flick. I thought it was light, fun, funny and the action sequences were really good (not to mention Crispin Glover rocked in that movie… Joker anyone?). However, as good as the first one was… the second one was equally terrible. It was stupid where the first one was light. it was airheaded where the first one was cute… and even the inclusion of Demi Moore in a bikini flirting with Cameron Diaz (oh man that made my year) couldn’t save it.
So fine… let it go right? Wrong. Apparently (as rumours earlier this year suggested) Drew Barrymore has announced she has plans to make a 3rd installment of the Charlie’s Angels series. Hey, the woman produces them and puts up some of her own money… so who am I to stop her… but man this is a bad idea.
Look, if they can get back to the spirit of the first one… then maybe it could work. Also, they need to drop McG (I still giggle at the idea that anyone would call themselves that) as the director and get someone new… like perhaps a Richard Donner or maybe Dean Parisot.
I am a fan of all three of the lead ladies… but I just don’t see this as a good move. Not to mention that the sequel didn’t make nearly as much as the first film… and I don’t see any reason why the general movie going audience would reverse that trend. Perhaps if they named it “Charlie’s Angels 3: Hot Lesbian Love“. Yeah… that would get the folks out to the theater.
