2.5/5
"Full Throttle simply turns up the volume and asks the Angels to take off their clothes more often."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

B+
"Cameron, Lucy, and Drew are back as the Angels, with Bernie Mac and Demi Moore spicing it up. You’ll clap along even as you realize how plain dumb it all is."  EDGE Boston  David Foucher

0.5/4
"...a stagnant collage of scenes that assault the eyes, ears and mind without actually being very entertaining in the process."  Cinemaphile.org  David Keyes

2/4
"Charlie's Angels was fun. For some reason, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle chooses to be insanely incoherent instead."  Movie Boeuf  David N. Butterworth

2.5/4
"...one of the most mindlessly enjoyable movies to crop up so far this summer."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

"There are worse ways you can spend an afternoon matinee than with the Angels -- Full Throttle has great music, sexy clothes and even more action. Just don't expect to be surprised this time."  Portland Tribune  Dawn Taylor

2.5/4
"Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle is a great time at the movies, to be sure, but it stands in the shadow of [a predecessor] that was more original, more satisfying, and somehow more complete."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

1/4
"Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle is merely a preposterous, maximized manipulation of the original film’s winning formula."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

C+
"The sequel ... is just more of the same, and the novelty has worn off. Once you've gone over the top, the only place to go is down the other side."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

B-
"But if we must be subjected to installment after installment of the ludicrously high-kicking hottie agents, can they all be like "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," and as unlike the first 2000 revival as possible? Please?"  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

2/4
"...merely an act of sheer overkill...Full Throttle is just an excuse to deliver another random hyperactive fleshy fable and pass it off as a mainstream mega-snack."  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

D+
"Proves that a female buddy-action movie can be every bit as brainless and aggravating as those starring guys...feels as though it had been written by the trio's resident scatterbrain Natalie."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2/4
"As a whole, the movie is an irritating blend of little things that work and big things that don't."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3/5
"Cameron, Drew and Lucy are still doing it for themselves in the sequel, and thankfully, the fun is still there."  Netflix  James Rocchi

75/100
"A startling/shining example of Hollywood's ability to absorb everything, including anti-Hollywood sentiment, and regurgitate it as something sexier, flashier, more fun, and less filling."  MovieMartyr.com  Jeremy Heilman

6/10
"This is a fun movie that peeks at about the 45-minute mark."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

0/4
"Well, at least the title is apt -- this aggravatingly incoherent series of subpar music videos did make me want to see someone fully throttled."  Big Picture Big Sound  Joe Lozito

"I was thinking about undergoing a frontal lobotomy this weekend. Instead, I went to a matinee showing of "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle." Same thing."  Light Views  John Larsen

3/4
"'Un delicioso placer culpable que puede ser disfrutado perfectamente por cualquiera que vaya a la sala de cine sin esperar una historia profunda o seria.'"  Moviola  Jorge Avila Andrade

5/5
"Full Throtle is full of fun."  3BlackChicks Review  Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel

4.5/5
"Do not go in here expecting "an action movie" or an "up with people especially girls" kind of flick. This is basically PG-13 porn. And it's a blast."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

2.5/4
"Bigger, louder, and more gratuitous (because 'naked-er' isn't a word)."  MovieCrypt.com  Kevin A. Ranson

2/5
"Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle tries to be bigger and better than the first Charlie's Angels. It achieves the bigger, but the better is sorely lacking."  Film Threat  Kevin Carr

2.5/4
"This is a movie with less depth than a Maxim pictorial, but it’s fun."  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

2.5/5
"The action is ridiculously overwrought, a state-of-the-art combination of CGI wizardry and Hong Kong-style wirework so removed from the laws of physical reality that it might as well be animated."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

0.5/4
"Did we really need another Charlie's Angels movie?"  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

"Appears to be an experiment to discover exactly how incoherent a movie can be before even girls in bikinis... are not enough to keep the audience’s attention."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

3/4
"Anyone going to this movie expecting substance, subtlety, or sophistication is barking up the wrong tree. Like its predecessor, the sequel simply asks you to surrender yourself to the fun."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

B+
"It's pretty much the same movie as the first one, except more of everything, and this movie has a lot of everything to have more of."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

2/5
"É possível que não haja nada para ser compreendido em As Panteras 2 além do fato de que garotas bonitas não são sujeitas à ação das leis da física."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

0/4
"This is not merely one of the worst films in recent memory but it could well go down as one of the worst things ever conceived by human hands."  Critic Doctor  Peter Sobczynski

5/5
"Once again, the tone is that of a giggly, sweetly knowing, megabucks slumber party."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

F
"A protracted, anti-feminist wet t-shirt display, in search of characters, plot and intelligence."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

C
"...there is so little substance to the glitz that ["Full Throttle"] will attract only its target audience."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

"Full Throttle would have worked if it were a promo video for a Hollywood stunt school. But you can only defy gravity so many times before you go floating off into space."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Ryan Cracknell

2.5/5
"Yeah, the gals sure seem to have a lot of fun working together, but they only share that glee with the audience on an intermittent basis."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

C+
"... it resembles a movie so much that soon it demands something resembling motivation, character, a plot, anything to explain the seemingly arbitrary connections between the stunts and the skits."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

D+
"The original's high caloric cinematic treats actually generated a sugar rush. Full Throttle serves up the same sweets, but only causes a belly ache."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Sean O'Connell

"In Full Throttle, returning director McG works much harder, for only about half the effect."  Salon.com  Stephanie Zacharek

0.5/4
"What the picture represents, in a very real way, is the death of cinema."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
