Charlie's Angels
I love Elizabeth Banks, and I intend to continue loving Elizabeth Banks. I do not love the newest reboot of Charlie’s Angels, which Elizabeth Banks wrote and directed. Banks’ version isn’t a complete disaster, and in fact has some fun turns by Patrick Stewart and newcomer Naomi Scott (Pink Power Ranger!!), and the last third significantly loosens up and becomes the fun, action-packed adventure you are hoping it will be. But the first two-thirds? Eeeeeeeesh! It’s a leisurely slog through molasses, with characters you really don’t give two craps about.
