Subject: "Charlie's Angels" TV vs. Movie

Written By: Secret_Squirrell on 06/28/03 at 11:15 p.m.

I just caught "Charlies Angels" (the first movie) on tv the other night.  Am I the only one who thought it s*cked so bad that all the trees lean towards where ever it's playing??  :P

I can remember watching the original tv series but I don't recall seeing that much overt sexuality and *REALLY* bad sarcastic one-liner's in it.  I could be wrong, though.  :(

(..and I think the original actors are probably aging better than Cameron Diaz  *ouch!*)   ;)

I think the TV Show was a heck of a lot better. Then again, I am the nostalgic type. I think the original angels were better lookin' too!

The movies are their own animal, baring absolutely no resemblance to the series; which I think if it was to borrow the name, it should have done it some justice.

The movies are overly campy. They are superficially entertaining and fun for the moment if you're in the right setting and mood. Don't look for any depth or good acting though.

I totally agree....the tv show was soooo much better.  I don't know why Hollywood bigwigs think movies should be made out of classic tv shows.  And yes, the original angels are aging better than Cameron Diaz.

Film makers remake classic tv shows, older films, comic books, etc. because the're not many new ideas to be made.

Though I prefer the movies. (no offense)
It reminded more of "V.I.P." than "Charlie's Angels" because of it's cheese factor &  over use of action sequences.

As for "overly use of sexuality", it was consider risque for it's time. Being of "Three's Company" & "SOAP".
