Don't call her Angel: Kristen Stewart hated filming Charlies Angels

[a_files06]

Kristen Stewart says her #CharliesAngels remake "was a good idea at the time," but "I hated making that movie. Honestly, the three…you can’t touch [that]. Cameron, Lucy and Drew…I love that movie! If that says anything." https://t.co/IySYgTclZK

This, Movie 34 and Pitch Perfect 2 make me think Elizabeth Banks should never direct again (granted, I haven’t seen Cocaine Bear).

This film didn’t know what it wanted to be tonally..more like the original 70s show, or something slightly grittier…and then just randomly throw in some scenes that called back to the Lucy/Cameron/Drew movies. The plot was all over the place, missing all story beats as well.

Add Power Rangers to this list! She was by far the weakest and cringiest part of the film. It was a huge mistake to cast herself as Rita. Everyone was great and deserved a sequel; the cast chemistry was good and had potential to grow.

I don't think she's one of those actors who can direct and act at the same time. I loved her in Hunger Games but every role of movies she's produced/directed that I've seen her in makes me wish it were played by Parker Posey instead; it's not only that Parker's more naturally charming, she has a certain warmth and that Elizabeth lacks. Parker can relax into her roles while Elizabeth always comes across as being far more tense than her characters should be (granted, I also haven't seen Cocaine Bear), and it might be because she has too much on her plate.

Casting herself as Bosley too was a bit... ???

I've only seen Cocaine Bear and haven't seen any other of her films but I enjoyed it very much.

I honestly have a soft spot for PP2. Pitch Perfect on its own was, well, perfect, but idk why I ended up watching PP2 more times. Maybe it was the stupid ladder joke Aubrey makes that taps into my "I love dumb jokes poking at Management theory" brain.

I love EBanks as an actor I just don't have an opinion on her directing in general lol.
