Charlie's Angels is an 2019 American action comedy film directed by Elizabeth Banks, who also wrote the screenplay, from a story by Evan Spiliotopoulos and David Auburn. It is the third installment in the Charlie's Angels film series, which is a continuation of the story that began with the television series of the same title by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts and the theatrical films, Charlie's Angels (2000) and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003).

The film stars Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska as the new generation of Angels who are working for a private detective agency. Banks and Djimon Hounsou star as the Bosleys, Charlie Townsend's assistants, while Patrick Stewart stars as John Bosley, Charlie's first assistant, replacing Bill Murray who played the role in the first film. It also features Sam Claflin and Noah Centineo in supporting roles. It's the first installment to feature Robert Clotworthy as the voice of Charlie Townsend, following John Forsythe's death in 2010.

Development of the film began in September 2015 when Sony Pictures opted to reboot the franchise following the cancellation of the 2011 television reboot.[5] The following months, Elizabeth Banks joined the project as director, producer, and writer. Principal photography began in September 2018 and took place in Germany and Turkey. Following the end of filming, Banks revealed that the film was not a reboot but a continuation of the franchise story. Drew Barrymore, who starred in and produced the previous films, was later announced as an executive producer.

The film was released in the United States on November 15, 2019, by Sony Pictures Releasing under its Columbia Pictures label.

Saw it yesterday and it was quite enjoyable. Kristen Stewart was a lot of fun.

7/10 ( B )


Disappointing it flopped. I'd love to see more. I definitely liked it more than the first movie with Barrymore and company, but I remember loving Full Throttle . I've only seen it once though and that was when it first came out on DVD. I'd have to see that again to see which I enjoyed more.
