The A-Team

Review:     4 Stars     Rated:     PG

Covering how the A-team originally met, the mission that got them arrested, their escape from prison, and subsequent attempt to clear their names this movie has it all.  The cast includes Liam Neeson (Hannibal), Bradley Cooper (Face), Quinton Jackson (B.A.) and Sharlto Copley (Murdock).

Plot: The movie starts a few years before the fateful mission that saw the team imprisoned for a crime they did not commit, and shows how they came to be The A-Team.  Following a mission into Baghdad (not Vietnam, the times they have a-changed) they are framed for a theft, imprisoned, escape, and then try to track down the people that framed them to earn their freedom.  This is the essence of the original series and is captured well in the movie.

Did It Suck? From start to finish the movie doesn’t let you down, and has bangs, booms, thrills, spills, and even a whole lot of laughs.  I had not expected the movie to contain humour at all, but it was there throughout, and blended in perfectly with the action.  Each of the main cast members played their parts well and were spot on in filling the roles of Hannibal, Face, B.A., and Murdock.  I can’t think of anything really negative to say about this movie, which is pretty odd, usually something detracts, but this one was just great.  The only real different between this movie and the series; people die!  In my opinion, this is definitely Worth a Ticket to see the action on the big screen.

    We loved the series. I didn’t think they could do the movie without wrecking something, so it’s good to hear that the movie is true to the old series, and the characters stay who they are. Defintiely will watch!!

    just saw this last night and really enjoyed it…I am a HUGE fan of the Original series…Murdoch was my fave and I loved Dwight Schultz in that role and was extremely pleased with Sharlto stepping into those shoes and he did it fantastically-I may have a new Howlin Mad crush lol…had a little trouble with Liam Neeson as Hannibal but I got over it and Bradley Cooper was amazing as Face…he exudes the same level of “charm”, and while there is only one Mr.T Quinton did do the part justice. I loved the way they updated it without taking it too far and yeas while the main difference is that people died in the movie whereas in the series they did not they didn’t take it over the top and give us killing just cuz they could. The cameos after the credits were pretty cool to see and Mr. T should not have turned down a cameo cuz what he is reported as saying and what I saw in the movie weren’t the same…cuz I certainly saw no more sex than I saw in the series and the violence really wasn’t overdone…maybe he’s just getting soft in his old age.
