It's supposed to be fun not serious. I didn't have a problem with it so much. I was more concerned about all the excess product placement and unnecessary cameos but that's what you get with these popular and somewhat campy tv shows made into movies. With the movie versions of Starsky & Hutch, The A Team and the recent Green Hornet movie being made as action comedies rather than action dramas, obviously they want to make blockbuster weekend movies for the family to enjoy. They pump up and exaggerate the campiness as well as the action.

I think you're supposed to laugh.. movies like this, Zoolander, MacGruber, Anchorman, Airplane, Scary Movie etc. don't exist to show you realism. They exist to be over the top, entertaining and funny, and this film succeeds in doing that for the desired demographic while making a profit (like the others mentioned above, despite their detractors).

I absolutely love this movie lol, but I have to say it is one of the most ridiculous movies ever. The stuff they do is so damn fake I just have to laugh. Not even trying one bit to be realistic. Like you mentioned the scene with them jumping off the ropes, grabbing wood and sliding off one by one ROFL.

This movie is so bad it makes the room look like the godfather. Seriously someone needs to hold mcg down and stomp on his junk til it doesnt work any more to make sure he can't make any offspring that may inherit his lack of talent.

I personally thought the movie was fun, it was mindless entertainment not meant to be taken seriously - but even if you didn't, how could you possibly classify it as the most ridiculous movie ever? There are tons of movies more absurd than this one: Battlefield Earth, Howard the Duck, Kiss Meets the Phantom in the Park, Jaws 4I could probably come up with a list of 50 in a half hour's time.

The most ridiculous scene for me was when Madison flew off the building in the so called bat wing suit and landed right in her car. Even more ridiculous was the Angels following her holding onto the wires that seemed to last forever and would have probably been easily cut off in the explosion on the building.

I cannot believe great actors like John Cleese, Cameroz Diaz, etc agreed to make this film. It's the biggest amount of crap I have ever seen or half seen because I didn't even finish watching this film. It's shit! Really bad stunts, crappy special effects, not at all believable. But hey if someone makes money out of shit, then nice going!
Guess it is not your cup of tea. I personally watched it back to back yesterday.

No.
Of course the action scenes weren't believable. They were not meant to be. I find other movies far more ridiculous when they try to be super serious and yet are just as fanciful as this movie was.
Most action movies have unbelievable scenes, where the "hero" single-handedly takes down a superior force, never needing to reload his weapons and never getting shot despite running around in a downpour of bullets or flames or whatever. It seems like the director was parodying those cliches of action movies, but in a fun way (not a hipsterish manner).
If you're expecting to see a realistic action movie, well, first off, there are few action movies that are truly believable if you analyze them too closely. Then there's the fact that this franchise is based off of a 1970s TV show that was quite obviously intended to draw fans of breasts and car chases. Then there's the fact that this is a sequel to the first movie. The 1st Angels movie had a similar tone. Not too serious. Who in their right mind would expect this sequel to be realistic.
It wasn't the greatest movie ever, whether you classify it as an action movie, a comedy or other, but it was entertaining enough. I do think that Bill Murray was a little funnier as Bosley in the 1st movie though. -

I think the first movie was a bit silly but it worked. It had just the right amount of silly with just the right amount of serious. This one was too much of a cartoon and didn't seem like it had enough balance.

I was still young when I saw this so my taste in movies was not refined and I still thought it was ridiculous. I liked part 1, but part 2 was ridiculous from the very first scene. I remember not liking it and rewatching it on Netflix now I can barely sit through it.
