Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
JohnnyLee1 Phew! It was exhausting just getting through the opening titles. Poor Liam, did he know what he was signing up for?
stormhawk2018 An indigestible turkey that means the adaptation to the cinema of the famous 80's TV series, The A-Team. We are before a succession of vertiginous and bombastic action scenes impossible and crazy even for a cartoon film. See the numbers with the helicopter and the tank. Any resemblance to the series is pure coincidence. The argument is confusing and uninteresting. The end is pitiful with another exaggerated scene of action in the containers of a ship with a special effects that sing to computer by the four sides.The actors who play the mythical team are disappointing. Liam Neeson is perhaps the one who hits the most, but he's too big for the role once played by George Peppard, because he can't imitate a good American accent. He's not alone in the category of British actors doing bad American accents, because frankly it's not easy. That's why you should just cast someone AMERICAN! What? Bruce Willis wasn't available?! Bradley Cooper, alias "Dog Face", makes too many antics, so many that he might have been better in the role of Murdock. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson looks like Mr. T, but in the film is too soft and has a ridiculous conscience problems and does not wear the necklaces of the authentic B.A. Baracus. And as for Murdock (portrayed by South African actor Sharlto Copley, who can't imitate a good American accent), say that his births do not have the grace of the genuine Murdock (Dwight Schultz) of the original series.It is missing also the famous tune of the series that in the film shines by its absence, as well as the disguises of Hannibal or the vehicles that constructed with three drums and a pile of junk. The van hardly comes out and the Vietnam war, of course, has been replaced by the Iraq war but the film's plot has nothing to do with that of the series. The A-Team always helped those who suffered abuse from a local chief.The translation to the big screen of this unforgettable series had to have been carried out scrupulously respecting the original series, otherwise we find ourselves with a routine action tape but bored by its exaggerated action scenes and its convoluted argument.But the fundamental problem of this failed adaptation is that the material on which it is based is mediocre. So let's not kid ourselves, The A-Team was a great series. What happens is that nostalgia prevents us from honestly judging it. And in those years, those who saw it when we were little we settled for anything such as Knight Rider or Miami Vice seen today are quite bad and proof of it is that the film adaptation of these series have been a sonic failure. And it is that there are things that it is better not to touch them and to leave them as they are not to spoil the good memory that we had of them. What's next, a Knight Rider or an Airwolf movie?
pronetomovies I'm not into action movies especially when it's about missions and everyone in the film is holding a gun and shooting each other, it just bores me so much but the a-team somehow interests me. It's a great film and I always find myself enjoying it. It's funny especially the part where Murdock (Sharlto Copley) started singing Right Round while hanging onto the helicopter's rotor blade it just gets me every time. I love all their plans they make it all seem so easy, I love how B.A Baracus (Quinton "Rampage" Jackson) could be such a huge guy but he always pass out when it comes to a helicopter ride. I love how Face (Bradley Cooper) uses his charm because I'm pretty sure that will always work if he was on an actual mission and no words could describe how Liam Neeson could be a great actor like I'm pretty sure everyone knows he is.
Python Hyena The A-Team (2010): Dir: Joe Carnahan / Cast: Liam Neeson, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley, Jessica Biel: Based on the TV action program of the same name, four special forces soldiers are out to clear their name after they are framed. Liam Neeson plays Hannibal, the cigar smoking leader who is quick thinking and resourceful. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson plays B.A. Baracus who cherishes his big black van, which he uses brute force to retrieve. As with the TV show, Baracus is afraid of flying, which leads to comic interludes and his constant annoyance of Murdock. Bradley Cooper plays Face, ladies man who is all about getting into and out of trouble for which his sexual conquests lead him. He was once involved with the female agent for whom they report for their mission. Sharlto Copley plays Murdock, institutionalized yet crazy enough to know the ins and outs of helicopters. One of the funniest moments arrives during a screening inside the institution with all the inmates present and how what's on the screen seems all too 3D close. While many TV film remakes are merely poor updates, this one contains all of the fun of the TV show even though those action scenes such as falling from a plane inside a tank, and still shooting, do not work. Jessica Biel seems to be the one weak wheel as a female cop who gets involved with these guys and cannot keep up with them. Directed by Joe Carnahan with lots of high powered action, which makes absolutely no sense but out of its lunacy comes a film that remembers the original show in all its moronic glory. Score: 7 ½ / 10
