- So with the news that Charlie's Angels has bombed at the box office, I figured it would be a good time to take a look at the movie and try to figure out why. Grab your drinks, and join me as I explore the anatomy of this failure.

The Critical Drinker they lost me at....well everything but mainly Kristen Stewart. I miss Lucy Liu and no one got punched in the face better than Drew Barrymore.
THIS MOVIE DID NOT HAVE THE SONG THE CHARLIE ANGEL SONG
That this Movie has Patrick Stewart agreeing to appear in it after having read the script make me think the depths of his own self-loathing must be deeper than the Marianas trench. I'll need to borrow Seaquest DSV to find his common sense to why he would agree to belittle himself in such a way (i.e. doing a Jim Phelps) I am now ever more worried that Picard is going to be terrible than I already was (I knew it would be terrible) But I was hoping there might be some entertainment in it that didn't involve Jeri Ryan.
Thoughts on COPPA?
The Critical Drinker praise be to the Critical Drinker his liver died for Hollywood’s sins
It's funny that they point out toxic masculinity in men but use the same qualities to empower women.
C P
Narcissists will project!
I never thought about that and oh my God hahaha mind blown
that's because men don't know how to use masculinity. Only women know these things!
You've just described modern feminism.
Walter Comunello this is sarcasm right
"Men feel annoyed and resentful, and women feel uncomfortable and patronized."
No other line has so perfectly captured the problem with movies like this.
Exactly, he summed it up perfectly..
@@aerial5587 Biggest problem really is alienination more than anything else. Preachiness is not a problem in of itself (James Cameron's Avatar is essentially Ferngully in space and yet is the highest grossing movie ever). The issue with these movies is that you divide your audience at best. 2016 Ghostbusters? Men hated it for being unfunny bullshit, women with any modicum of self awareness was it as stupid pandering bullshit and even the SJW, white apologist types eventually grew a few braincells. This? Horrendous flop. Black Widow? God that was shit and I hope it bombs hard.
@@lorddrayvon1426 I would argue that preachiness actually was a problem in Avatar...but James Cameron is such a good director, and the digitally-aided world he created so remarkable to drink in, that the tonal mistake didn't ruin the proceedings. I was in no hurry to see Avatar, but when I did get around to it I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it. With one exception...the plot and characters were 1980s cartoon levels of one dimensional and black and white. The lesson to take from that isn't that preachiness can't be the downfall of a movie, but that strong filmmaking in general creates a margin for error even when mistakes happen.
That's why 2016 Ghostbusters went wrong...it was just utterly awful. Contrary to the implied criticism in this particular video, Chris Hemsworth's character was perhaps the only element (other than impressive-looking ghosts in some scenes) I enjoyed, and that's because self-aware goofy Chris Hemsworth is always a good time. But we expect a Ghostbusters movie to make us laugh at a steady rate from beginning to end, and the jokes in this thing were such duds...
@@redsoxu571 Oh boy you are not going to enjoy any of the classics like Indiana Jones then.
@@GordonSeal My bad...I didn't mean to imply that cartoony black and white characterizations are innately bad. On the contrary, they're great in the right media. Indiana Jones (which I love, excepting the fourth, and for very different reasons) was a 1930s serials-inspired adventure series, and in those some one-dimensional villains are expected (the protagonists still manage some nice depth, not surprising given how great Spielberg has always been at characters).
My point in this case was that Avatar had a central major message to it (a very fitting one, IMO), but either didn't trust the audience to handle characters of dimension or else simply was poorly written. We have evil corporations that apparently have zero sense of history regarding the abuse of indigenous populations (unrealistic, or arrogant in thinking that even though the empathy for such peoples has changed that big bad corporations will always care zero about such things, even if only to not upset human customers). We have big bad military, all hoo ha with no humanity whatsoever. Etc. Take the same movie with the same general plot and simply widen the characterizations a bit (some hesitancy, doubt, regret, anything along those lines) and you'd have a stronger movie; create realistically conflicted characters who outright wrestle with the right thing to do and you could have had a masterpiece, given what the film did so well.
If the point was to simply showcase the eye popping effects and world building, Cameron could have pulled back on the plot and made it about exploration and discovery, rather than exploitation. Heck, given the five film plan, that would have made even more sense, saving exploitation, conflict, abuse, rebellion for later, once simply going to Pandora wouldn't be enough for an audience.
That's what I was intending to speak towards. Hope that makes sense!
There was a hilarious interview where Elizabeth Banks said that men should have enough empathy to watch movies with female leads. I always thought the goal of seeing a movie was to be entertained, not to express "empathy" for the people who made it.
That's literally my sister's explanation of why men should watch women's sports but women are excused from it "because most of us don't watch sports in the first place."
I thought "representation matters." Either it matters or it doesn't.
@@rorygillmore6555 no offence, but I really hope your sister has a functional spare brain for regular daily activities because the one that came up with this idea will get her into trouble

And I hate that I have to censor my speech, mankind is really just a bunch of wussies.
Judge Anderson from the 2012 Dredd film is a perfect example of how to make a strong female action hero. She's not punching out men twice her size one after the other, she's using her unique abilities combined with her wits and weaponry to make it through. She even undergoes some proper and believable character development, from nervous and adrenaline-soaked rookie to a more hardened Judge ready to deal with the horrific reality of the job. For God's sake, she can literally read peoples minds and she's a more believable character than anyone in this film.
Dredd (2012),
what a great action flick.
I was trying to think of a strong character who happens to be female recently and this fits perfectly.
@@ReeseLeeArt the fact that this "recent" example is over a decade old is a disturbing thing to think about.

And now she's starring in another one about lesbians.
Well, ive been saying fuck this job, and i still work there.
Opinions don't pay the bills.
Kristen Stewart unironically looks very pretty done up as a girly girl, even if she’s only doing it satirically
The fact that her "disguise" made her look better than her actual character's look is too funny lol
I was just about to comment that. It's like Bree Larson in Endgame. She was pretty in the first half hour, until she got that God awful haircut

Well, except her face, of course.
@@johnnysalery7383is it? The purpose of the clothing you wear shouldn’t always be to make yourself look as attractive as possible, a lot of the time what makes you look good brings some level of awkwardness/discomfort, and that’s especially true for women

"That's the problem with facts, you see. They don't care about your feelings." This is such a wonderful tidbit of common sense and wisdom. It's unfortunate that it is lost on so many people these days.
Two years later, and with She-Hulk and Rings of Power, the lessons CD preached here may finally be bearing fruit.
"I do this so you don't have to".
Not all heroes wear capes.... Or are sober.
Come on, superheroes ain't sober. You need to be quite drunk before you decide it's OK to go out in a Batman outfit. And let's not even mention Captain America.

*Hancock has joined the chat
Disregarding the "they made all men weak": if your villain is weak, so is your hero. Or heroine. You need a strong villain to show how badass your hero is.
so technically they're all weak

The worst thing a movie can do is to treat the audience with DISRESPECT.
And if it's a sequel, prequel, remake or reboot, the SECOND worst thing it can do is treat the original source material with disrespect (I'm lookin' at you, repugnant 2014 'Annie' reboot; I bet the Drinker could absolutely fricassee that one if he so chose).

I have been Not Seeing Movies for a while, and it's way better than actually Going to Movies!

To be fair, it was almost exactly 14 years between the 9/11 terror attacks and the completion of the Freedom Tower to replace the WTC, while the empire state building took barely over a year to build. The war in Iraq and Afghanistan have lasted nearly 20 years, while WW2 lasted not even 10. Everything takes longer now - even if they are pointless and without virtue compared to their antecedents.

"There's something mesmerizing about such a perfect disaster" is a great explanation of half my social media activities.
Universal Theory of Kristen Stewart:
If she's in a low-budget indie flick, see it.
If she's in a big-budget blockbuster, skip it.
You can say that to every other actors. Indie flicks offers them better scripts to work with than blockbusters. Blockbusters tend to focus on dollar signs than actually crafting a good movie. Even female empowerment stuff does it better in indie movies than in blockbusters (well Mad Max Fury Road was amazing blockbuster too that has feminist as the main theme of the movie). I always prefer indie films over blockbusters. I think she can be good in a big budget blockbuster, she just wasn't given a good material to work with. It's now mostly on the material than the actor

She literally claimed that if you don’t pay to watch this movie in cinemas, that you’re a sexist.
The scary thing is, people tried to defend her as if they same people that shit on this movie, enjoy watching the originals.
I just find it funny how women like her think it’s fine to say “there’s been too much men on screen therefore other men shouldn’t have a chance regardless of their talent or merit”
But complain when others say “I don’t think this is good” and cry about how it’s somehow related to what’s between their legs.
Also, not to mention - people would complain seeing Patrick Stewart try to beat up the same people the Angles did for the exact same reasons (unrealistic and stupid) but somehow because he’s a man, it becomes a valid complaint.
@@thatboymeak I guess I’m a sexist then, because I literally had no idea this movie existed until the crapstorm that was 2020.
Here's the problem. Charlie's Angel's is a movie about stripper ninjas who neither strip, nor are they ninja.
I like that explanation lol
🤣 this made me laugh
Can we just get some stripper ninja?
only preteen girls like this stuff, question remains: "why let ur impressionable preteen watch this crap"?
I think strippers are played out in cinema, but Id watch a film about female ninja strippers, I mean Roger Corman made a career out of those kind of films. WHERE IS THE CURRENT DAY ROGER CORMAN?!?!?
Oh Critical Drinker, I salute & drink to you. There is too much, beautifully articulate, much needed, magnificent commentary to single out to comment on here so, bless you Sir, I'll have another drink to you!

I laughed way harder than that as I should, and I wonder why I haven't been using this phrase before in my own reviews of films and dramas.
News: “Men under increasingly hostile social environments, women most affected.”
It's actually true. All those mid 30s women complaining they can't find a man. 😆

I can't for the life of me imagine how this movie is suppose to be fun to watch for a woman. If I was a woman and saw this, I would just feel embarrassed. Not really positive representation in any sense of the term.
The Drinker said it best: it’s a reboot of a remake...God help us
Of a '70 TV show...
Marcg210 yes
Thaaaat's Hollywood, 2019. It's as if they ran almost all the true creatives out of town.
That's usually the point where shit gets silly. lol What makes me laugh is all the 70s remakes were 10 years ago. Missed the damn boat didn't she? lol
In the interest of ballance here, the line "There was a gun fight at my wedding" "I didn't know you were married." "I'm not, I was the better shot." was actually well delivered and (compared to the other attempts in the movie) quite a good joke... and the "movie buff scene" mostly worked. And they are the only positives I can come up with.

I love his term for Grace in Terminator Dark Fate - “Androgynous Thing” 😂😂 and his accent just makes everything sound better
Those feminist filmmakers should take a lesson from Terminator or Alien movies. Ripley and Connor are the true example of badass action characters that don't have to scream "Women are better than men" every screen.
Hell yeah
I think Hit-Girl was the best representation of feminism. Mindy doesn’t CARE what people think of her. She tried doing the makeup and the dating and the dances and all of it was thrown back in her face. When her dad was killed, she didn’t cry. She didn’t complain. She got PISSED and went and killed the men who took her only family left. And guess what?! An ADULT MAN punches her! He CHOKES her! And not ONCE does Mindy cry or try to use her gender or age as a handicap. She bit him, stabbed him where she could reach, and used her appearance to an advantage even. And this was 2009/2010/2011.
Even Sidney Prescott from SCREAM. She was a 17 year old girl who’d seen her mom cut up. The first time Ghostface tried to kill her, she dodged and even kicked him in the leg when being thrown. And she only gets tougher and tougher with each sequel. By Scream 4 she asks Ghostface to come after her and minutes later kicks him square in the jaw.

Eventually new generations of actors and directors will crave a piece of that fame and they'll make what the public really wants. That's what I think and what I hope.

I LOVE the old series from the 70s because - cool 70s clothes, cool 70s hair, cool girls doing cool stuff. But there's more to it: the first season had really good whodunnit scripts that WORKED. The script quality declined from the second season onward. My point is, the old series became famous because it had good writing.
In the original series, the girls were also ex-policewomen. Which explains why they knew jiu jitsu, how to examine a suspect's room, etc. In both reboots, the girls are just ... born superhuman, I guess?
Here it is 3 years later, and not only has Hollywood not woken up to not pissing off their audience, they've doubled down on this kind of crap again, and again, and again.

The TV show was cool. I still remember it. It was smart, it was sexy, and it was filled with hot 70s babes and cool 70s studs. More importantly, it gave the characters power organically. Each of the characters had a coherent backstory as to why they were they way they were and how they ended up working for Charlie. And those stories weren't just there and forgotten, but occasionally cropped up and were built on, creating a solid story arc and the very thing this cheap knockoff tried to siphon off for itself: fun. That's right. It was a fun TV show. Remember fun? That's what this movie wasn't, and why it failed.

Lucius Fawkes Probably a lot more. Hollywood are so self absorbed with their narrative that they’re probably oblivious.
I didn't even know it existed until it was announced it flopped
We appreciate your work TCD, you save us valuable time by not letting us watch any of these garbage. You deserve all the likes and praise in the world.
"I do this so you dont have to"
Thank you Drinker, we all appreciate it you suffering through this crap
I can't believe they cast Justin Bieber as an angel.
That was good.
😂😂😂 burn bro
Loki Lyesmyth Comment of the day 😆
Surely they couldn't cast him as a devil.
Loki!
There's a big difference between well developed female character and a feminists propaganda
Correct. See, Alita: Battle Angel to see a developed female character
Correct. A strong female is a woman with character whereas feminism is a leftist ideology.
The best FEMALE character ever written (IMO) is Elizabeth Bennett from Pride & Prejudice. She is strong (keeping secrets SECRET instead of blabbering the out to everyone else), independent (not following the "general behaviour" of other women in her family, especially her mother) and has courage ... which gets showcased in one of the best "female duels" ever [watch the version from 95, NOT the one with Keira Knightley who cant act]: czcams.com/video/LcaEN8eVBfk/video.html it lasts for 6+ minutes and is taken 100% directly from the book.
@@Muck006 The 95 tv version was the one starring Colin Firth? That was a great version. Six well made hours. As female characters go I also like Jane Eyre. She also was strong, intelligent and independent. Those novels illustrate that strength is not about violence against men.
Dominic Decoco Oh this was a feminist movie I didn’t know it was just that I thought it was a really bad movie but this one however is bad
This is one of my favourite plot summaries!!! Love the channel.
Absolutely incredible explanation of this film and many of the problems within Hollywood currently! 👏
When movies have narcissistic personality disorder: the movie
When IP too weak.... let face it a lot of Hollywood weirdo don't get it...
Melon Race when movies get extremely toxic about sexes just to stop sexism: the thousand-or-so frames of regret!
Banks: "Men save me, I'm a damsel in distress.."
Men: "Sorry, I'm afraid of looking like a stereotype.."
open your own door..
Take out your own trash
@Jack Reacher more like she feels entitled to mens money if you look at all the interviews
@Jack Reacher And this one's doing it while riding on the coattails of the men who created the original series and the two (successful) earlier movies.
@Jack Reacher When women tell me I am sexist...I tell them them thank you.
Damn, the recap of this movie is absolutely on target and I’m a psychologist. Well done.
I think more people saw your video on the movie, than the movie itself lol
You nailed it! “Women feel uncomfortable and patronized.” That’s how I feel in these so called “girl power” movies. The scene in avengers endgame where all the female characters came together to do battle had me rolling my eyes to the point that it was probably audible. Strong females protagonist are so poorly written these days. They’re either defined by the abuse they’ve suffered a la Sansa Stark or they’re perfect and OP to the point of unrelatable. Characters like Ellen Ripley are good because they’re relatable. She was brave and tough as nails because she was terrified and vulnerable, yet still able to overcome her fear and kick ass. Sigorney Weaver plays this character superbly, she make Ellen Ripley’s fear believable. You’re invested in her character and the outcome of her journey. These “strong female characters” are boring because there are no stakes, they’re never in true peril, they have no flaws, and they never fail at anything. Totally unrelatable and not something I want my daughter looking up to.
Great post👍👍
Sarah Connors, Beatrix Kiddo as well.
you sound kindof smart, yo. Tell your friends.
The Avengers female power scene didnt bother me all that much cause I love Virginia Pepper and Scarlet Witch. All the others not so much
I’ve never read Avengers. More of an x-men fan. I guess if I was more familiar with the characters then that scene would have had more meaning to me
Dude! I thought I was thee only one hating that "Woman power" scene in the avengers movie. Also, Xmen is way better than avengers. Only part of marvel I like. Otherwise Dc all day.
Alternative movie title: "Patrick Stewart Picks Up A Check"
Wouldn't be the first time he played as the heavy for a cheque. Remember 1996's Masterminds? Also a load of crap.
@Box Jabber Must be a pretty hefty bill... after all he played a piece of sh!t in the Emoji movie too....
Ready my horse.
They once asked Uwe Boll,how the fuck he got Sir Ben Kingsley to play in his shitty "Blood Rayne" movie.
Boll aswered:
"Well, I guess even an acclaimed actor like Kingsley has bills to pay,ja?"
@crazyrabbits let's not forget him playing a literal piece of shit on Emoji movie. Hitting a rock bottom, breaking through and going even further beyond.
I'm so happy I found the Drinker. I no longer need to waste so much time on hyped bullshit. The "Recommends" playlist is a goldmine. Going through these reviews is a breath of fresh air. I can obviously tell when a movie is a disappointment, but the Drinker can tell me why it is so :) :)
I love you Mr. Drinker. 🍻❤️
This video was better than I hoped.
It's true what they say: Get Woke, Go Broke.
*_" Woke Movies hurt Men's Movie Prospects "_*
:)
Why this comment isn't at the top,it has 300 likes ,I think CZcams active sensorship
Drinker: "And wake up they must."
No, Drinker, they can go bankrupt instead.
He makes the assumption they are trying to make money with these films.
I’m not sure. Sony’s films are basically expensive commercials for their products and affiliated brands. Not sure it’s expected to make money on its own.
Having nicknames for everyone made the story more interesting 😂. I can't lie.
Elizabeth Banks: "You hate this movie because you hate powerful women"
Me: points at- Princess Leia, Wonder Woman, Mystique, Lara Croft, Kumiko, Jyn Erso, Wanda, etc.
Furiosa from mad max
Claudia Cardinale in Once Upon a Time in the West. Hanoi Jane in Barbarella
Samus, Lara Croft, The Bride, Buffy, and Ripley
I for one am OUTRAGED: This is 2019, the Charlie's Angels remake should be starring a diverse multicultural cast of MEN as the Angels, because reversing things is always woke.
Charlie's mangels
Sorry, but Woke is a one way street.
benjovi55 also bald and midgets
You say this as a joke but I wouldn’t mind a guys team, straight or gay, to be part of this franchise. The 2000 movie didn’t pretend to be anything other than fluff but still had girl power elements and waaay better action scenes. How does that happen?!
The 2019 one could have at least had “atomic blonde” or “John Wick” level action scenes - but the movie wasn’t enough of anything.
Plus the fact that any light hearted calmness the original had was erased in this one COMPLETELY
Baaaaahhhhhh
"Liz, since you apparently don't understand your own industry, the Drinker's gonna mansplain this one for ya." Best line i've heard all week.
After watching the old ones I had to comeback here and realize how right you are.
I remember Elizabeth Banks from one thing: Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy as J. Jonah Jameson's secretary
Díaz, Lou, and Barrymore didn’t have an agenda in mind when the movie was made. They were probably like, wow this is a ridiculous script let’s have some fun and since we are actors people are going to watch this so let try to make it fun for them.
Imagine a movie made for the sake of fun and entertainment... the horror....
That was horrible, too.
Exactly 😉
FYI, it's spelled Liu. But yeah, it was a fun bit of camp. Kinda like D.E.B.S., but with less overt lesbians.
Also, the victories in those earlier movies meant something because the male and female antagonists were clever and dangerous. If someone overcomes someone like that it feels empowering because it IS. If the heroes are already infallible, who cares?
The thing is the older movies didn’t just have some petty white dude as the villain, the first movie was a partnership of a super genius and his female partner (who was most of the driving force of their plans and quite handy in a fight) and the sequel was a former member of there own group who had basically decided to use her skills as a former angel to massively profit. They’re was no agenda of “men do bad, woomen gooder!” Within the movie as a whole
That repeated elbow to the head looks like she's trying to wipe a smudge off his face.
It looked like a special attack I'd have invented as a ten year old.
LMAO, I kept thinking the same thing, it looked like it wouldn't even hurt.
Wouldn't even crack a glass jaw.
I figured if you hit a dude that many times in the face with your elbow and he (not particularly strong) managed to 1) not lose consciousness and 2) continually support your weight... you might need fight classes
@That Frosty Ape Followed by an elbow drop.
I loved the original two Charlie's Angels films, great actors, great fight scenes, great soundtracks, great fun!
I loved the original Charlie's Angels movies as they never took themselves seriously. Even Alias and Xena had a tongue-in-cheek vibe. The greatest female empowerment movies and TV shows use men and women as equals or villains. They are equals because they are good, they are villains because they are bad.
What happened to the entertainment industry?
10 years ago:
"Ey, lets watch a movie!"
Today:
"Ey, lets see what Drinker has to say about it and the decide if we are going to watch it"
Cheers to that mate.
today i just skip the cinema and go straight the the Drinker's channel... spend an awful lot of time here, watching and laughin' movies reviews about films that i will never watch
Try thinking for yourself once in a while
Believe that!!!
The Drinker is still batting 1000 in regards to calling out dreck such as this.
I took my girlfriend to watch this movie. I asked her what she thought of it afterwards. Her reply of "Next time, You'll choose the film" pretty much told me all I needed to know.
Also, this was the first time she went to get some snacks during the film and took an unusually long time.
Reminds me of watching The Last Jedi. Went to the bathroom, and I sat down and I waited. Didn't miss much, since the movie is like four hours long.
@@MrNickPresley LOL
She was probably sucking off a guy that didn’t take her to a horrible film 👍
She's a keeper!
She owns you now.
LOVE this review! Watched it dozens of times! Cheers mate
Kristen Stewart only agreed to do this movie on the condition that she would be paid in Xanax.
Ok , that was hilarious.
That's why she smiled! Oh, it all makes sense 🤣
Fucking epic mate!
She mentioned she was chewing on them in her new film underwater. This mouth breather can’t get enough of em so makes sense.
Are you sure it wasn’t that she wanted to hook up with the director? She’s been down that road before....
Man hating movie bombs then the director gets mad and blames men for it.
cjones29hd why she mad at us we just not interested in women empowerment movies not saving Wonder Woman wasn’t now that was a good woman empowerment movie and a good action movie
Isn't that typical by now?
The problem is always the same with this films
There is a big difference between being able to do anything and just be able to do everything
This movie basically had a standoff with Ghostbusters 2016 just to see which one would pull the trigger first and shoot the other in the face.
"the Drinker's going to mansplain this one for you." My Lord, the Drinker has the gift of gab.
