What do you get when you mix a classic campy television show with woman power in the latter half of this decade? A big mistake in the case of the most recent and misguided Charlie's Angels reboot. A big mistake. Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith, and Kate Jackson are still the best of the angels lot.
Leave the classic television show alone.
The more recent remake with the very talented cast of Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu was just passable even if a bit humorous as was the original. Solid "C" film, nothing more than summer fluff.
Bad but at least a likable cast.
This time around, it's the talented Naomi Scott (fresh from playing Jasmine in Aladdin), playing next to the extremely unlikable Kristen Stewart. This makes it an all around pass. Not even worth a viewing. Sorry, ladies.
(The new live action Mulan, however, looks like a winner...)

I don't even want to pass some critical remarks at costume designers for the undefined style of the Charlie’s Angels Costumes. Even the Kristen Stewart Red And White Jacket Connor Kenway Assassins Creed Jacket is having the same colors and that long tail looks way outdated.
