So with the news that Charlie's Angels has bombed at the box office, I figured it would be a good time to take a look at the movie and try to figure out why. Grab your drinks, and join me as I explore the anatomy of this failure.

THIS MOVIE DID NOT HAVE THE SONG THE CHARLIE ANGEL SONG
That this Movie has Patrick Stewart agreeing to appear in it after having read the script make me think the depths of his own self-loathing must be deeper than the Marianas trench. I'll need to borrow Seaquest DSV to find his common sense to why he would agree to belittle himself in such a way (i.e. doing a Jim Phelps) I am now ever more worried that Picard is going to be terrible than I already was (I knew it would be terrible) But I was hoping there might be some entertainment in it that didn't involve Jeri Ryan.

It's funny that they point out toxic masculinity in men but use the same qualities to empower women.

that's because men don't know how to use masculinity. Only women know these things!

There was a hilarious interview where Elizabeth Banks said that men should have enough empathy to watch movies with female leads. I always thought the goal of seeing a movie was to be entertained, not to express "empathy" for the people who made it.
That's literally my sister's explanation of why men should watch women's sports but women are excused from it "because most of us don't watch sports in the first place."
I thought "representation matters." Either it matters or it doesn't.

Judge Anderson from the 2012 Dredd film is a perfect example of how to make a strong female action hero. She's not punching out men twice her size one after the other, she's using her unique abilities combined with her wits and weaponry to make it through. She even undergoes some proper and believable character development, from nervous and adrenaline-soaked rookie to a more hardened Judge ready to deal with the horrific reality of the job. For God's sake, she can literally read peoples minds and she's a more believable character than anyone in this film.
Dredd (2012), what a great action flick.
I was trying to think of a strong character who happens to be female recently and this fits perfectly.

"That's the problem with facts, you see. They don't care about your feelings." This is such a wonderful tidbit of common sense and wisdom. It's unfortunate that it is lost on so many people these days.
Two years later, and with She-Hulk and Rings of Power, the lessons CD preached here may finally be bearing fruit.
"Men feel annoyed and resentful, and women feel uncomfortable and patronized." No other line has so perfectly captured the problem with movies like this.
Exactly, he summed it up perfectly..
@@aerial5587 Biggest problem really is alienination more than anything else. Preachiness is not a problem in of itself (James Cameron's Avatar is essentially Ferngully in space and yet is the highest grossing movie ever). The issue with these movies is that you divide your audience at best. 2016 Ghostbusters? Men hated it for being unfunny bullshit, women with any modicum of self awareness was it as stupid pandering bullshit and even the SJW, white apologist types eventually grew a few braincells. This? Horrendous flop. Black Widow? God that was shit and I hope it bombs hard.
@@lorddrayvon1426 I would argue that preachiness actually was a problem in Avatar...but James Cameron is such a good director, and the digitally-aided world he created so remarkable to drink in, that the tonal mistake didn't ruin the proceedings. I was in no hurry to see Avatar, but when I did get around to it I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it. With one exception...the plot and characters were 1980s cartoon levels of one dimensional and black and white. The lesson to take from that isn't that preachiness can't be the downfall of a movie, but that strong filmmaking in general creates a margin for error even when mistakes happen. That's why 2016 Ghostbusters went wrong...it was just utterly awful. Contrary to the implied criticism in this particular video, Chris Hemsworth's character was perhaps the only element (other than impressive-looking ghosts in some scenes) I enjoyed, and that's because self-aware goofy Chris Hemsworth is always a good time. But we expect a Ghostbusters movie to make us laugh at a steady rate from beginning to end, and the jokes in this thing were such duds...
@@redsoxu571 Oh boy you are not going to enjoy any of the classics like Indiana Jones then.
@@GordonSeal My bad...I didn't mean to imply that cartoony black and white characterizations are innately bad. On the contrary, they're great in the right media. Indiana Jones (which I love, excepting the fourth, and for very different reasons) was a 1930s serials-inspired adventure series, and in those some one-dimensional villains are expected (the protagonists still manage some nice depth, not surprising given how great Spielberg has always been at characters). My point in this case was that Avatar had a central major message to it (a very fitting one, IMO), but either didn't trust the audience to handle characters of dimension or else simply was poorly written. We have evil corporations that apparently have zero sense of history regarding the abuse of indigenous populations (unrealistic, or arrogant in thinking that even though the empathy for such peoples has changed that big bad corporations will always care zero about such things, even if only to not upset human customers). We have big bad military, all hoo ha with no humanity whatsoever. Etc. Take the same movie with the same general plot and simply widen the characterizations a bit (some hesitancy, doubt, regret, anything along those lines) and you'd have a stronger movie; create realistically conflicted characters who outright wrestle with the right thing to do and you could have had a masterpiece, given what the film did so well. If the point was to simply showcase the eye popping effects and world building, Cameron could have pulled back on the plot and made it about exploration and discovery, rather than exploitation. Heck, given the five film plan, that would have made even more sense, saving exploitation, conflict, abuse, rebellion for later, once simply going to Pandora wouldn't be enough for an audience. That's what I was intending to speak towards. Hope that makes sense!
Disregarding the "they made all men weak": if your villain is weak, so is your hero. Or heroine. You need a strong villain to show how badass your hero is.
so technically they're all weak
That's way too involved for these sad sjw minds to comprehend. Remember, to them, the world doesn't work based in facts; It works based on the current emotional outrage of a virtue signalling small popular minority...

The worst thing a movie can do is to treat the audience with DISRESPECT.
And if it's a sequel, prequel, remake or reboot, the SECOND worst thing it can do is treat the original source material with disrespect (I'm lookin' at you, repugnant 2014 'Annie' reboot; I bet the Drinker could absolutely fricassee that one if he so chose).

@Andrew Jackson I see your point, but the only thing we can do is talk about how bad they're, making them fail at the boxoffice and making famous movies that really are good, helping them stay relevant in the history of film making, and that's not something these sjws will be able to erase. Eventually new generations of actors and directors will crave a piece of that fame and they'll make what the public really wants. That's what I think and what I hope.

Funny how the Critical Drinker, who is only one man, is more accurate than Rotten Tomatoes 100% of the time.

he is better at writing than 99% of Hooliwood writer
Why does this movie have 79% on rotten from audience score when both the critics score and imdb score are way lower?
Less than 100%. Drinker missed the mark on HBO’s Watchmen.
"The First World War was wrapped up quicker than this thing." I'm not sure it's fair to draw parallels between Charlie's Angels 2019 and WWI. I mean, one was a tragic, wasteful disaster, and the other was World War I.

She literally claimed that if you don’t pay to watch this movie in cinemas, that you’re a sexist. The scary thing is, people tried to defend her as if they same people that shit on this movie, enjoy watching the originals. I just find it funny how women like her think it’s fine to say “there’s been too much men on screen therefore other men shouldn’t have a chance regardless of their talent or merit” But complain when others say “I don’t think this is good” and cry about how it’s somehow related to what’s between their legs. Also, not to mention - people would complain seeing Patrick Stewart try to beat up the same people the Angles did for the exact same reasons (unrealistic and stupid) but somehow because he’s a man, it becomes a valid complaint.

In the interest of ballance here, the line "There was a gun fight at my wedding" "I didn't know you were married." "I'm not, I was the better shot." was actually well delivered and (compared to the other attempts in the movie) quite a good joke... and the "movie buff scene" mostly worked. And they are the only positives I can come up with.
Universal Theory of Kristen Stewart: If she's in a low-budget indie flick, see it. If she's in a big-budget blockbuster, skip it.
You can say that to every other actors. Indie flicks offers them better scripts to work with than blockbusters. Blockbusters tend to focus on dollar signs than actually crafting a good movie. Even female empowerment stuff does it better in indie movies than in blockbusters (well Mad Max Fury Road was amazing blockbuster too that has feminist as the main theme of the movie). I always prefer indie films over blockbusters. I think she can be good in a big budget blockbuster, she just wasn't given a good material to work with. It's now mostly on the material than the actor
Nailed it!
Not only is no one surprised this bombed, I doubt anyone cares.
I care cause it sets a precedent. So movies like StarWars will make money regardless of how bad they are and encourage people to keep turning franchises into trash.
Maybe woke journos care, but only because they get paid for it. For the time being.
I care very much that it should fail thank you.
Lucius Fawkes Probably a lot more. Hollywood are so self absorbed with their narrative that they’re probably oblivious.

Those feminist filmmakers should take a lesson from Terminator or Alien movies. Ripley and Connor are the true example of badass action characters that don't have to scream "Women are better than men" every screen.

I think Hit-Girl was the best representation of feminism. Mindy doesn’t CARE what people think of her. She tried doing the makeup and the dating and the dances and all of it was thrown back in her face. When her dad was killed, she didn’t cry. She didn’t complain. She got PISSED and went and killed the men who took her only family left. And guess what?! An ADULT MAN punches her! He CHOKES her! And not ONCE does Mindy cry or try to use her gender or age as a handicap. She bit him, stabbed him where she could reach, and used her appearance to an advantage even. And this was 2009/2010/2011.
Even Sidney Prescott from SCREAM. She was a 17 year old girl who’d seen her mom cut up. The first time Ghostface tried to kill her, she dodged and even kicked him in the leg when being thrown.

Feminist: why didn't you take your daughter to see this movie ? Me : she didn't ask me to
@Darth Revan My Lord, Reven. *Bows*
So if she chooses to be an alcoholic and rapist you'd support it?
You take your daughter to watch a Studio Ghibli film like Porco Rosso or Princess Mononke.
There's a big difference between well developed female character and a feminists propaganda
Correct. See, Alita: Battle Angel to see a developed female character
Correct. A strong female is a woman with character whereas feminism is a leftist ideology.
The best FEMALE character ever written (IMO) is Elizabeth Bennett from Pride & Prejudice. She is strong (keeping secrets SECRET instead of blabbering the out to everyone else), independent (not following the "general behaviour" of other women in her family, especially her mother) and has courage ... which gets showcased in one of the best "female duels" ever [watch the version from 95, NOT the one with Keira Knightley who cant act]: kzhead.info/sun/f8eadbJwnIh4maM/bejne.html it lasts for 6+ minutes and is taken 100% directly from the book.
@@Muck006 The 95 tv version was the one starring Colin Firth? That was a great version. Six well made hours. As female characters go I also like Jane Eyre. She also was strong, intelligent and independent. Those novels illustrate that strength is not about violence against men.
Dominic Decoco Oh this was a feminist movie I didn’t know it was just that I thought it was a really bad movie but this one however is bad
I love you Mr. Drinker. 🍻❤️ This video was better than I hoped.
When you mentioned the FP activist trying to do a cartwheel, it sounded like you were trying not to laugh.
It's true what they say: Get Woke, Go Broke.
*_" Woke Movies hurt Men's Movie Prospects "_* :)
Why this comment isn't at the top,it has 300 likes ,I think KZhead active sensorship
"The women are universally smart, virtuous, incorruptible, tough, confident, outspoken, highly skilled at everything, and physically unstoppable." ...unless someone turns up wearing the same dress, amiright?!
HELL HATH NO FURY
Oh then its on, unless perhaps its a man transitioning into a woman cant be transphobic can we hollywood
CHL, shouldn't you be berating some flerfers and the likes, rather than just having fun here?
@@Alessandro-B You mind your own business do you know how often one of the channels that I love comments on another channel I love.
BA-DUM TISHHHH!
Having nicknames for everyone made the story more interesting 😂. I can't lie.
Elizabeth Banks: "You hate this movie because you hate powerful women" Me: points at- Princess Leia, Wonder Woman, Mystique, Lara Croft, Kumiko, Jyn Erso, Wanda, etc.
Furiosa from mad max
Claudia Cardinale in Once Upon a Time in the West. Hanoi Jane in Barbarella
Samus, Lara Croft, The Bride, Buffy, and Ripley
You nailed it! “Women feel uncomfortable and patronized.” That’s how I feel in these so called “girl power” movies. The scene in avengers endgame where all the female characters came together to do battle had me rolling my eyes to the point that it was probably audible. Strong females protagonist are so poorly written these days. They’re either defined by the abuse they’ve suffered a la Sansa Stark or they’re perfect and OP to the point of unrelatable. Characters like Ellen Ripley are good because they’re relatable. She was brave and tough as nails because she was terrified and vulnerable, yet still able to overcome her fear and kick ass. Sigorney Weaver plays this character superbly, she make Ellen Ripley’s fear believable. You’re invested in her character and the outcome of her journey. These “strong female characters” are boring because there are no stakes, they’re never in true peril, they have no flaws, and they never fail at anything. Totally unrelatable and not something I want my daughter looking up to.
Great post👍👍 Sarah Connors, Beatrix Kiddo as well.
you sound kindof smart, yo. Tell your friends.
The Avengers female power scene didnt bother me all that much cause I love Virginia Pepper and Scarlet Witch. All the others not so much
I’ve never read Avengers. More of an x-men fan. I guess if I was more familiar with the characters then that scene would have had more meaning to me
Dude! I thought I was thee only one hating that "Woman power" scene in the avengers movie. Also, Xmen is way better than avengers. Only part of marvel I like. Otherwise Dc all day.
"Liz, since you apparently don't understand your own industry, the Drinker's gonna mansplain this one for ya." Best line i've heard all week.
I'm so happy I found the Drinker. I no longer need to waste so much time on hyped bullshit. The "Recommends" playlist is a goldmine. Going through these reviews is a breath of fresh air. I can obviously tell when a movie is a disappointment, but the Drinker can tell me why it is so :) :)
I remember Elizabeth Banks from one thing: Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy as J. Jonah Jameson's secretary
I worked on this film. Half the crew banged our heads into the wall seeing from day1 of production quite how awful it was gonna be. And more than a few of us have said "we hope at least the drinker does something good with this!". ;)
I'm so sorry. It indeed must have been a horrific experience to work on this film in any capacity.
So the Drinker actually has a following among people in the film industry?

Just keep in mind, your future clients may be watching. Never complain about clients on social media 😉
@@robbylebotha nah, it'll be fine 😆
I, personally, can't wait to not see this movie.
I'm actually not seeing it RIGHT NOW!! How crazy is that???
@@FeralLogic Lucky! I have to wait until the weekend to not watch this film. So looking forward to seeing anything but.
I'm probably pirate it. I buy movies that are good but this? Meh....
@ MST3K...
Can I go and not see it with you?
I LOVE the old series from the 70s because - cool 70s clothes, cool 70s hair, cool girls doing cool stuff. But there's more to it: the first season had really good whodunnit scripts that WORKED. The script quality declined from the second season onward. My point is, the old series became famous because it had good writing. In the original series, the girls were also ex-policewomen. Which explains why they knew jiu jitsu, how to examine a suspect's room, etc. In both reboots, the girls are just ... born superhuman, I guess?
The TV show was cool. I still remember it. It was smart, it was sexy, and it was filled with hot 70s babes and cool 70s studs. More importantly, it gave the characters power organically. Each of the characters had a coherent backstory as to why they were they way they were and how they ended up working for Charlie. And those stories weren't just there and forgotten, but occasionally cropped up and were built on, creating a solid story arc and the very thing this cheap knockoff tried to siphon off for itself: fun. That's right. It was a fun TV show. Remember fun? That's what this movie wasn't, and why it failed.
That repeated elbow to the head looks like she's trying to wipe a smudge off his face.
It looked like a special attack I'd have invented as a ten year old.
LMAO, I kept thinking the same thing, it looked like it wouldn't even hurt.
Wouldn't even crack a glass jaw.
I figured if you hit a dude that many times in the face with your elbow and he (not particularly strong) managed to 1) not lose consciousness and 2) continually support your weight... you might need fight classes
@That Frosty Ape Followed by an elbow drop.
Banks: 'Men didn't come see my movie I specifically didn't make for them. They are all meanies!!! :'('
I hope they are going to start saying men made their women not go. Because they don't let them out of the kitchen. Lol
Is that like the most stupidest thing she could possibly say
she should ask herself why women had no interest in the movie.
Banks should be blaming Larson, she’s the one who told us to ignore these projects, I mean I was gunna see A Wrinkle in Time but then she said it wasn’t for me. I was gunna go see this but then I heard Larson’s voice in my head and was like “I guess I’ll spend that $12 on another two shots of whiskey.”
@@Revan-eb1wb I'm glad you said that because that's what I've been asking... Elizabeth Banks does not say one thing about that.
After watching the old ones I had to comeback here and realize how right you are.
Lucy Liu alone is sexier; more talented; and likeable than the entire cast of this movie.
Amen. She may be a little order but she is still gorgeous
Yessssss
Lucy Liu could still in 2019 fart in my face. Shes hotter than every girl in this film still
tinylilmatt yeah Bill Murray would have a few things to say about Liu’s “talents”...
True, I get nostalgic looking at the images from the old movie even though I never saw it.
The only angel worth watching this year is called Alita.
beat me to it, cant wait for second part
Even my mom said that the movie was really good. And she is a WOMEN!
Damn straight.
Don't criticize that movie, or mini sjw's will come out of the woodwork and shame you
I liked that one too. The ending disappointed me, but I had a bunch of fun with everything else
You managed to make me laugh for at least 10 minutes continuously. That's a record for me. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOVE this review! Watched it dozens of times! Cheers mate
"This movie isn't for men." "Bye!" goes 50% of the audience. "Bye!" goes another 48% who've got better things to do than whinge and whine about the other 50%. Director and remaining 2%. OoO
Director and the others: they're anti-feminist
Dammit it’s on 69
They did the same with Birds of Prey. Feminists told men it wasn't for them and not to go and see it then when the film flopped they blamed men for it even though they told them it wasn't for them.
Nothing like realizing that more women watched Rambo than this movie!
@@TheRatedOniChannel I kind of wanted to watch Rambo, but I get a bit squeamish with gore. I'm trying to get over it. That and my fear of ghosts. And water where I can't see the bottom. And crowds. And large dogs.
Man hating movie bombs then the director gets mad and blames men for it.
cjones29hd why she mad at us we just not interested in women empowerment movies not saving Wonder Woman wasn’t now that was a good woman empowerment movie and a good action movie
Isn't that typical by now?
Mouth-Breather, Gigantor and Magical-Science Lady. 😂
I love your nicknames for these characters.
Everyone likes movies that feel like a lecture. Right?
Being told something that ain't so makes it dislikeable. A factually correct lecture of the truths that need to be told can be entertaining.
How dare you!
Thank you, morally bankrupt film makers who were knowingly working with sexual predators for years, for telling me how to be a better man.
I prefer actual lectures to movies that feel like lectures... bitch, you're not even subtle.
Hollywood wouldn't keep pumping them out if they weren't huge hits with general audiences...... right?
