119 minutes of insufferable GRRRRRL power cheese…

Yep and all this cheese leads to only one thing besides going broke. Constipation.

The woke crowd is nothing more than a bunch of constipated weenies.

The Woketards

Never heard of that one, but it sounds like it encapsulates the decrepit and lethal Women's Movement which I loathe and despise.

The Doll Squad (1973) predated the entire Charlies Angels franchise.

Although together they weigh less than 89 pounds, both are able to take down more than a dozen 200 pound bodyguards.

Big mistake in making this movie, was in not having Charlie's Angels be transgendered biological males who think they are female. Then the Angels would be capable of taking down a dozen 200 pound bodyguards! Of course it would still be a box-office disaster, but more believable.

I was in a women’s rest room today in a traditional diner in Western Mass, and the sweet little powder room had all these inspiring plaques on the walls about how much better women are than men.

Odd.

You can't include the Terminator in this category.

I think the Terminator simply ran out of feasible plots and premises. I mean, how many times can you go back in time to kill John or Sarah Connor? The franchise should have stopped at T2 (well, maybe T3, because T3 was almost as good as T2 IMO).

James Cameron is known for having butt-kicking female leads in his movies, so the wokeness doesn't apply here. Just that the franchise simply ran out of gas.

To be fair, it was a really bad franchise to begin with.

Who cares— is Hollyweird so bereft of ideas It has to continuously reach back into shows from yesteryears and do a botched up reincarnation?
Won’t get my $$ forked over for such tripe.

To make women look strong, you have to make men look weak and pathetic. Says a lot about women.

Gee John, tell us what you really thought.

To be honest, his descriptions make me realize I would agree with his take, if I paid to see this trash.

I won’t.

One day it will come to a medium I can view it on for next to nothing. And when it turns out to be next to nothing, I’ll feel like I got less than my money’s worth.

Sad.

I could already see some of this coming in other films. In the second Charlie’s Angel’s film, they had the women taking down men who were obviously not going to be taken down by them, but I dismissed reality to enjoy the show.

In truth we do that with men too. The things they try to convince you are possible, is way beyond believable these days. I might buy it from a well chiseled special forces type, but a girl that looks like she couldn’t survive a paper cut, not happening.

One of the new (to me at least) Marvel characters, oddly enough know as “Marvel”, is another character that is quite laughable on the screen.

I didn’t get the impression they were trying to put down men all that much, but the fact is she was supposed to be able to put down the previously invincible male Marvel characters. (so I may be wrong with the comment starting this thought off) It was incredible what she was supposed to be able to physically accomplish.

Used to be men took their dates to the movies. What’s it going to be now, a guy taking his date to a movie that depicts women could kick his ass in three blows? (Let’s ignore the Millennial Male jokes for the moment. We’re watching an industry in self-inflicted death throws.) What guy is going to foot the tab for that nonsense. The Football franchises are being harmed. Movie theaters are being harmed. What’s next, the apple pie and ice cream franchises?

If this keeps up, we can watch the ole movie theater go by the wayside.

It’s more than just killing movie franchises now.

About the only thing Charlies Angles ever had going for it is its appeal to guys

So they make a version that disses and alienates guys

Not smart

They needed Mel Gibson as the director.

STUPID SPOILER ALERT SINCE NOBODY’s GOING TO WATCH IT ANYWAY.

In this version, Charlie is really a woman using a man’s voice.

The original Charlie’s Angels was a bad show that most guys only watched for the jiggly bits. A feminist remake is absurd on many levels.

6th franchise proving “go woke go broke” in the past 2 years.
Charlie’s Angels
Terminator
Ghostbusters
Godzilla
Men in Black
X-Men

Social justice is in the process of killing Star Wars.

When it comes to TV, the black remake of “Charmed” has failed, and they’re killing Doctor Who.
