I haven't seen it, but from what I've heard the reviews are mixed. Many people are wondering why they even made another Charlie's Angels movie. The 2000 movie had Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz, and Drew Barrymore at the height of their stardom, but this film has two unknown actresses and Kristen Stewart, who is a decade removed from her Twilight fame and hasn't really done much since then that's gotten any attention. Also, Charlie's Angels was a 70s show that Gen Xers grew up on, so the original movies had that nostalgia quality that brought in Gen X audiences, but it's 2019 now, and Millennials don't have much of an attachment to Charlie's Angels. The recent film version of The A-Team didn't do that well at the box office either, and the planned sequel was scrapped.
The general consensus is that this version of Charlie's Angels was intended to be very neo-feminist, politically correct, and "woke," which is probably why audiences stayed away. What must really sting is that Ford v. Ferrari was the big box office hit the same weekend, exceeding expectations and being a very male-oriented film.
