There is a war that seems to never end. That war? The one that rages between comic book fans. Marvel vs DC has been here since the dawning of both Superman and Human Torch and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere any time soon. Especially if James Gunn is reigniting the flame.

Charlie’s Angels 2019 Attempts to Revive a Franchise That Is Better off in the Past

Elizabeth Banks, Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska in Charlie's Angels (2019)
Charlie's Angels (2019) is not a bad film. Writer/director/star Elizabeth Banks attempts to combine the crime drama of the original TV series; the comedy of the 2000s film series starring Cameron Diaz (Natalie), Lucy Liu (Alex), and Drew Barrymore (Dylan); and a little bit more modern feminism. Sadly, what she comes up with is a movie that is an enjoyable action movie, but one that doesn't really move the needle in terms of telling us why we needed this expansion of the franchise.
