Film review: Charlie's Angels (2019)

This film doesn't just surpass the previous two on quality, it stands alone as a pretty damn good film all round. First off, depth. There is a lot more going on plot wise and the characters are imperfect bad asses who all each grow and develop meaningfully over the course of the film. Second, humour. We're not relying solely on sight gags, though those come into play too and everyone has quite a few one liners up their sleeves. Plus Elizabeth Banks well and truly pulls of the great hat trick of director, writer and actor, sneaks in some fun in gags. Ella Balinska, Naomi Scott and Kristen Stewart are the main angels of the film, each of them clearly having a ball with the film, though Ms Stewart is my favourite for straight up humour and relishing the role. Someone put her in another comedy, stat. All in all, a great film that is also a lot o fun.
