Remakes are always difficult to do, because the new version is always compared to the original. Sometimes they work and other times they don’t. But in the case of the new Charlie’s Angels, it's completely up to the viewer.
Let me set the scene. We are introduced to three girls, Abby Sampson (Rachel Taylor), Kate Prince (Annie Ilonzeh) and Gloria all of whom have criminal pasts but are now employed by the mysterious Charles Townsend to find and bust bad guys. But, when Gloria is killed, the Angels and Bosley (an ex-computer hacker who also works for Charlie; played by, Ramon Rodriguez) must find out who killed their friend and why. Enter Eve French (Minka Kelly), an old friend of Gloria, who has the information the Angels need to take down Pajaro, a businessman who also happens to be a human trafficker.
Despite what some of the reviews have said, I found that this new Charlie’s Angels isn’t all that bad. I have to admit, some of the lines are a bit corny, the acting and chemistry between the characters could indeed be a bit better. But the story is interesting, the location is great and hey, who doesn’t have a favourite cheesy show? :) If any of you have seen the BBC Robin Hood, then Charlie’s Angels fits into this category, in terms of acting, plot, and script. And Robin Hood lasted strongly for 3 seasons... So who knows where this new Charlie’s Angels will go, but it’s definitely going to be an interesting ride.
Watch it for yourself and tell us what you think!
