Synopsis: The girls are back and have to deal with a rogue angel called Madison Lee. Who can kick the most ass, old school angels or new school?

Director : McG
Starring : Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, Bernie Mac, & Demi Moore.

I loved the first movie and went into this movie with the hope for more of the same.

A lot of people were saying how lame it was going to be and so on and so forth, but I kept a positive mind and said to myself this will be a 2 hour fun fest where plot will be secondary to ass kicking and that Lucy Liu can do no wrong.

Boy was I wrong! I do not know how, but McG managed to ruin what I thought was a no-brainer. It seems that they just filmed the action scenes and then as an afterthought tried to tack a plot on to it!

The action scenes themselves also seemed at times to be over the top, now I know this is what I enjoyed about the first movie but this time they went wayyyyyyy too far.

They even managed to spoil the best thing from the first movie: creepy thin man. I know everyone has rewatched that scene form the alleyway when the 3 angels went after the thin man and they fought to the sound of "smack that bitch down" that is for me a classic scene, but in this movie creepy thin man is given a past and reasons for his actions and basically shoehorned into this movie just so they can say he is in it and guess what they go and kill him off!

All the charm of the first movie was absent from this movie, at times this seemed like a soft porn movie especially with all the ass shaking, stripping and dancing especially from Cameron Diaz.

I must give props to Demi because she looked good and did the best with the material given and Lucy Liu is always hot no matter what! But what happened to Drew's character! In this movie it was like a totally different character, I miss the Dylan that gives a finger to the world and moonwalked in the first movie instead we get her being all introspective and her real name is Helen Zass!?! very funny.

Talking about funny Bernie Mac was an embarassment in this movie, not one bit funny at all even though he was trying hard to be.

Apparently on the first movie there was thirteen writers and that was deemed a bad thing, well newsflash guys: the first movie is 13 times better written that this claptrap!

There are two cringeworthy examples of badly written detective work in this movie the worst being the scene where they figure out that a surfer with a bad knee is the culprit in a murder. Maybe this was meant to be a homage to Holmes but it just plain sucked to be.

This scores a pathetic unangelic 3/10

See ya later,

Shazam!
