This is a compelling story of a noble man and the convictions and people he holds dear. About the only thing I didn't like was the oftentimes cheesy direction, that included some awkward scene composition and things like goofy slowmo and sunbeams. Mel Gibson thinks he's an auteur, but he's more just full of old-timey cliches.

Tons of fun. Fits perfectly in the genre of silly action movie that doesn't try to be realistic or serious. Along the lines of The Fast and the Furious.
All of the main characters have a good dose of personality, and they're all fun to watch, and clearly having fun making it, Jane to a lesser extent, but she is playing the serious character, so not really her fault.
It's a pretty funny movie, mostly intentional, but there are also a few moments of unintentional humor that just add to the intentional humor. The setting montages are poorly edited, but this ends up adding to the goodness of the movie because they're so good-bad. The CGI is similar in this regard. There are a couple moments when it looks rather cheap. But as I said, it just adds on to the healthy dose of intentional humor.
Some people are saying this reboot was pointless or unnecessary, but I disagree. It's been a long time since the last Charlie's Angels. I watched it not long ago and it felt so dated it lost my attention. I'm not saying it's bad, but it's very much from a different era.
For the record, I would actually give this an 8/10, but since all the butthurt neck beards with fragile egos are giving this 1s and 2s, I'm trying to restore balance to the force.
