An average movie

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back, I thought I might as well check it out again. Back then when it was released, even if it did turn out to be fairly successful at the box-office, this movie still got a rather lame reputation. Even myself, I had some mixed feelings about the damned thing. Basically, on one hand, it was a rather moronic action flick but, on the other hand, I have seen much worse and the over-the-top approach actually had some potential. Indeed, the TV-show was nothing really serious to start with so to have some fun with this concept was not a bad idea. Well, after all these years, I don't think the damned thing was so bad after all. Indeed, the three girls (Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu) looked fine and they were quite fun to behold. They could have dialed down the goofy humor but I was surprised that it actually worked most of the time. As a result, you get to see Bill Murray who was really fun and the guy was just a perfect choice to play John Bosley. Unfortunately, even though Murray was probably the best thing in this movie, he had apparently a major argument with Lucy Liu during the making of this movie so he didn’t show up for the sequel. It was also fun to be remembered that, after 'The Matrix' was released, so many action flicks like this one copied its way of shooting fighting scenes with some really dubious results. In general, the movie didn't look great visually speaking already when it was released but it was obviously never really the point. Anyway, to conclude, I have to admit that it wasn’t as awful as it thought it was, especially after watching Elizabeth Banks's even more abysmal version, and I think it is actually worth a look, at least, if you like the genre.
