Charlie's Angels II definitely won't win any Oscars for substance or drama, but it's an enjoyable flick just the same. No doubt other reviewers will have panned the film for its superficiality, lack of originality, hamminess and paper-thin plot premise, but let's be honest here - did anyone really expect anything different walking into this film? It's one of those films that make fun of itself and the industry in general, and doesn't take itself too seriously. In today's stressful world sometimes people just want to go into a theater and watch a flick to forget their problems for a couple of hours. It's a great way to kill a couple of hours watching some good (if unoriginal, but who cares) Matrix-like cinematography, and a pretty awesome soundtrack. It's a couple of hours of eye- and ear-candy, and as long as people know that when they walk in then they can set their expectations accordingly and they won't be disappointed.
Besides, if you haven't reset your expectations after watching the opening action scene then you're awfully slow on the uptake!!!!
