Big, dumb and lots of action. If it's half as good as the first it'll be twice as good as anything else I see coming up. Woo hoo!"Wait! I got an idea!"Hee hee.For those who haven't yet stopped reading my interminable posts on pointy-headed little details, here's a small but oh-so-important-to-me example of why Charlie's Angels was a better action film than The Matrix:Rent both films, if you don't own either. Watch the first fight scene in the Matrix, the big wrap-around freeze frame of Trinity doing her high-flying kick. Note the cut -- just before the impact. For me, that moment was the start of my dislike for the film. That cut.Yeah, okay, it matters to me. My doctors says my prognosis is hopeful, though.Now compare that scene with the alley fight in CA. Watch Cameron Diaz' high-flying kick. Note the cut -- just AFTER the impact.To me, the difference is like night and day and demonstrates clearly how much more accomplished a director McG is. How much better he understands what he's doing.(Hey, EN, thanks. Because obviously I need a lot of encouragement to talk incessantly about myself. Ask anyone. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> )</blockquote>
