Does this mean when the Charlie's Angels movie comes out we get to see Charlie?

Rating: 2/10 (30 May 2000)

The single worst thing about this movie, is that Tom gets the message in very nice fashion while mountain climbing (great cinematography here), in a pair of sunglasses which do a retina scan to confirm identity, play the instructions and self destruct, all well and good, except then our Tom goes to MEET the guy who sent the instructions and they sit down and have a nice chat about the mission!!! I mean, come ON! I mean totally unbelievable that they pulled this one. Does this mean when the Charlie's Angels movie comes out we get to see Charlie?
OK, lots of action, but there is only ONE reason to bother seeing this movie and it's to feast your eyes on Thandie Newton... but that alone is worth the price of admission!
For the rest, well, the John Woo fight and chase scenes are just fine, if typical of him (lots of slo-mo visual poetry - there wasn't a single action piece without a slo-mo section in it somewhere) but nothing compared to The Matrix, and I have heard it being likened to it. The story is rubbish, nasty virii movies have been done already - it's totally Tom vs the baddies, this is in no way a team of people outfoxing the bad guys as in the original series. Sure there are a couple of players around, Ving Rhames is the computer guy, and then someone it seems they picked up off the street cos he was australian and could fly a helicopter, but they basically just sit around watching Tom do the work. The only active team member (the lovely to look at but annoyingly English accented Thandie), who is supposed to be a world-class thief and "I don't take sh*t from anybody" person, and she starts out that way, is reduced to "oh god help me I'm only a female and I love you Tom please rescue me".
