Charlie's Angels 2019
How is everybody sleeping on this movie? It was so much fun?! And funny. Kristen Stewart was the perfect casting choice as Sabina; I LOVE HER and I want a sequel so bad although I'm guessing it didn't do well at the box office which Ugggghhh. Also Sam Clafin as the bratty billionaire playboy was freaking delightful. LOL And can you believe not a single woman gets iced in this film?! I know, whaaat? No dead woman as beautifully tragic collateral damage? Is this even a Hollywood movie? Add in Patrick Stewart and Noah Centineo and I was just !!! HOW IS NOBODY ELSE TALKING ABOUT THIS. Plus the soundtrack is sooo good! I loved a couple of the tracks when it dropped, but I love the whole thing now that the songs have context.
Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska were also wonderful casting choices- Jane was amazing and I totally felt like Sabina, gawking in awe at her sheer competent badassness the whole time. Elena the wide-eyed, well meaning innocent is never my favorite kind of character, but Naomi Scott is so lovely that I just went with it.
Seriously the first few minutes of the film set the tone just perfectly. Sabina, in a sparkly pink dress and long blond wig:
"Did you know it takes men an additional seven seconds to perceive a woman as a threat? Isn't that wild?!"
Also the commentary on other movies is delightful:
"Cars that go fast really furiously."
"Burt Lancaster. Birdman."
"Isn't that Michael Keaton?"
"No, he was Batman."
"No, Ben Affleck. He's Batman."
"I mean, is he?"
lololololol buuuurn
Also this exchange:
"But- but he flirted with me!"
"Honey. A man can love you and want you dead."
"Yeah there was a gunfight at my wedding."
"Wait- you're married?!"
"Naw. I was the better shot."
XDDD Please tell me somebody else has seen this! I need to make icons.
