Elizabeth Banks' Kristin Stewart-starring reboot of venerable TV series 'Charlie's Angels' is a disappointment.
A concept in search of a movie, “Charlie’s Angels” wants to take the venerable franchise in a new direction. The goal is exemplary, the execution nothing to write home about.
Banks made her directorial debut with the very successful “Pitch Perfect 2,” about the further exploits of an all-female a capella group, so it’s no surprise that her version of the Angels feels pitched to please a similar audience.First and foremost, this “Angels” has its empowerment of female credentials in good order.
In its defense, “Charlie’s Angels” would say it’s not trying to be “Captain Marvel,” that it’s intentionally going for a light comic effect. But the comedy feels largely forced, and if you are old enough to get the film’s “Birdman of Alcatraz” joke — yes, there is one — the proceedings are unlikely to involve you.The film’s core idea is a solid one.
Naturally these two do not get along, and when they are reunited in Paris a year later, with Jane training under Edgar Bosley , their lack of harmony is still front and center.
