I was very surprised to have greatly enjoyed "Charlie's Angels 1." And again, I was very surprised to have greatly enjoyed "Charlie's Angels 2." "2" rips into play with a fun, tongue-in-cheek intro that approaches that impressive 10 minute open of "1." Stylish, lip-stick-slick, these flicks' opening schticks are like a short-wick cracker brick.

Though both shows slow some as they go, they don't blow their gold. As is "1," this is fun, mockery & action, don't think too long.
