Very entertaining and enjoyable. A welcome update to the Charlie's Angels franchise.
I might not have given it full stars because action movies aren't my go-to. But the first review that imdb was displaying was an off-topic review about how someone thinks this movie is "offensive to men," encouraging people to skip it. Dude: it's not for you. Go review something you can relate to. If you can't accept the "woman power" spin on the genre and/or appreciate that apart from that angle it has all the expected elements of any other film from that genre -- plus enjoyable performances by top actors (all genders)*, and minus the loud, testosterone-driven constant cursing and braindead violence that seems to infect so many movies that, therefore, I have no interest in watching -- then it's not for you. You don't get it. Imdb, don't feature a review by someone who can't even "see" the movie and then encourages others not to see it!
I looked up the "rookie angel" on imdb. Turns out she played live-action Princess Jasmine in the Aladdin movie, and is playing the pink power ranger in an upcoming movie. I think of how my niece and nephew watched a bunch of animated princesses when they were little, and they were certain that princesses are magical beings with superpowers. Maybe that will translate into a generation that appreciates the awesome capabilities of women. That's part of the audience for this movie, and that's great.
*Of all the performances I liked in this movie, maybe the tops were the two Stewarts -- Kristen and Sir Patrick. Love! Kudos to the casting director, as well as to Elizabeth Banks for all the hats she wore on this project (writer, director, actor, etc.)
