History YMMV / CharliesAngels2019

* FightSceneFailure: Most of the fight scenes aren't outright ''terrible'', per se, but it's very obvious that Creator/EllaBalinska has extensive martial arts training, while Creator/KristenStewart doesn't have much, and Creator/NaomiScott has even less.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The film was intended as a more diverse and feminist reboot of the original series, but it didn't pan out as intended ''at all''. While the updated female-empowerment angle was welcomed by audiences, the film came across as driven solely by its shallow {{Anvilicious}} messaging, which many felt overshadowed the actual spy plot and action-genre thrills that made the original series and films enjoyable. Adding salt to the wound, the movie's plotline negatively [[{{Strawman}} stereotyped]] nearly all of its male characters (with the exception of a few [[SatelliteCharacter very minor characters]]) as being either StrawMisogynist [[ForTheEvulz evil-for-evil's-sake]] antagonists or TooDumbToLive. Furthermore, many were also put off by the [[DearNegativeReader comments in response to the film's performance]] made by director Creator/ElizabethBanks that placed the responsibility of the movie's success or failure solely on men...despite it being entirely marketed towards women and young girls. This was an audience, speaking of which, that ended up ''ignoring'' the film due to a sheer lack of interest, as older women still see the franchise as "the JiggleShow from the '70s" while most of the younger female crowd weren't even born when [[Film/CharliesAngels2000 the Diaz/Barrymore/Liu films]] were released. Not helping matters was the fact that [[Series/CharliesAngels the previous attempt at a reboot in 2011]] was a notorious flop that only lasted four episodes, or the fact that it was released up against ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'', which was one of the year's most anticipated films ''and'' one with a sizable female audience at that. The result of the movie's release was a major BoxOfficeBomb.

* SoOkayItsAverage: Essentially the reason why audiences didn't cotton to it. Reviews said it wasn't a ''terrible'' film, but it's also nothing spectacular and is painfully average. It lacks the campiness of the [[Series/CharliesAngels 70s series]] that made the show fun to watch. It also doesn't have the kinetic tongue-in-cheek charm the [[Film/CharliesAngels2000 2000s film]] was known for. While this version likewise has its positives, most reviews cited it as just another reboot of the TheNewTens that took itself way too seriously.

* ActorShipping: Kristen Stewart and Naomi Scott got hit with a great deal of this after the film's release, largely due to Stewart's [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer reputation]] and the two of them being [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbfrRWO7mtw very touchy-feely]] in interviews.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The opening "How It's Done" montage, comprised entirely of stock footage of active or powerful women, has nothing to do with the film beyond its feminist subtext.

* FightSceneFailure: Most of the fight scenes aren't outright ''terrible'' per se, but it's very obvious that Creator/EllaBalinska has extensive martial arts training, while Creator/KristenStewart doesn't have much, and Creator/NaomiScott has even less.

--->'''Sabina''': Oh babybaby! You swiped right! [[SuddenlyShouting I'm your girlfriend now!]] ''[[[UseYourHead headbutts him]]]''

** Sabina's hilarious attempt to make her backstory seem edgy and raw, immediately undercut by Jane.

--->'''Bosley''': You know, I once saw a really fat baby giving Eskimo kisses to a kitten. And ''that'' was more adorable. Also it's kind of implied that you're coming with us, cause ''you're in this briefing''.

---->'''Sabina''': More money, more horses.

--->'''Sabina''': I exist on the cusp of powerless and abused.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The film was intended as a more feminist and diverse reboot of the original series. But it didn't pan out: While the updated female-empowerment angle was certainly welcome for most part it came across like rather shallow {{Anvilicious}} messaging that detractors felt completely overshadowed the actual spy plot and action-genre thrills that made the original series & movies enjoyable in the first place, as well as the more contentious argument if the movie was intentionally and negatively [[{{Strawman}} stereotyping]] nearly all the men in the movie (with the exception of a couple very minor SatelliteCharacter) as StrawMisogynist / ForTheEvulz antagonists or at best TooDumbToLive, though some were also put off by the DearNegativeReader comments made by director Banks that seemed to place the blame of the movie's potential success or failure solely on men... despite that it was entirely marketed towards young women, who also ended up ignoring the film as they ''still'' viewed it as "the JiggleShow from the Seventies", and being too dusty a property to woo the 18-24 crowd (some of whom wouldn't have been born when [[Film/CharliesAngels2000 the Diaz/Barrymore/Liu films]] were released!).
