Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

one-nine-eighty The cult 80's TV show has been reinvented and brought to the big screen. If you remember the 80's show with fondness then you are going to be mixed about this, you'll either dislike it, or you'll hate it - looking at the other reviews on here that give it 9 or 10 out of 10 - I can't help wonder if they watched the same rubbish as I did. I want my review to be based on the film, rather than a comparison to the TV show which I loved and grew up with. Set up as fall-guys for a crime 4 army rangers are court-marshaled and sentenced to do time in 4 separate institutions. The leader of the 4, Hannibal Smith (Liam Neeson) escapes and plots a plan of revenge, for which he requires his 3 ex-colleagues - Face (Bradley Cooper), Murdock (Sharlto Copley) and B.A. Baracus (Quinton Jackson). Pursued by the military and various other law enforcement agencies they attempt to clear their name. The plot is relatively weak with very few surprises; I'm not saying it was easy to understand, no. In fact whoever wrote this seemed adamant that they wanted to add a few twists in to make it cool - but it just convoluted things. I feel it was aimed at younger audiences rather than the fan base who would have watched the TV series. Maybe this younger audience turn up for pointless plot twists, things being blown up for fun and a script that tries to make everyone a comedian with one-liners that hit the mark every time - oh yeah, FTR, they probably appreciate the overuse of a shaking camera too which for me, just got annoying quickly. There are a lot of action sequences involved, but it's either predictable or totally unscientifically possible bonkers. While the acting is relatively average, none of the stars in this film are going to win any awards for performances. The 4 stars aside there were some players and parts in the film that seemed pointless, Jessica Biel's character would fall into that bracket. The film takes itself far too serious - and maybe this is why the TV series was successful in the 80's - while it may have been moronic at times and really camp, everyone knew that was the case. This film gives the impression that it's Billy-big-balls and wants to shout about it from the rooftops. Maybe this is aimed at a generation of people I don't understand, maybe this was just a poor attempt at making something cool, maybe this is a classic that I don't appreciate or understand - whatever it is, I'm only giving this 3 stars at most.

851222 Greetings from Lithuania."The A-Team" (2010) is a very disappointing flick. I didn't watch original series, but i knew it pretty well. But the movie itself while does looks good and it has good production values and some great actors, does disappoint in directing and especially script. The movie wasn't involving at all, strangely because behind the wheel was Joe Carnahan who later wrote and directed "The Grey" - very solid movie.Overall, "The A-Team" is a mess. Its not involving, nor very intriguing nor it will generate adrenaline. The script here is the biggest disappointment.

Nicolas F. Costoglou The A-Team movie is an enjoyable, over-the-top, no-time-to-breath, hysterical, fun-ride.The cast is perfect, Sharlto Copley as Murdoch is spot on the most memorable of them all, Liam Neeson as Hannibal Smith, feels like the perfect leader for such a mad group, Bradley Cooper is charismatic as hell and also great in the action scenes and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson was a great B.A., with an interesting character ark for this kind of Action-Blockbuster.But talking about action, the big set-pieces in this movie are insane, you will gasp, you pump your fist in the air and roar "fuck yeah!", and you will laugh about the great gags and loud, spectacular madness on screen.The effects do their job fairly well, and most of the stunts are and explosions are practical, so that it never get's distracting.The music by Alan Silvestri suits the insane energy and the military theme of the film.The movie also has an engaging story with a nice twist, which works fine as a prequel to the series (apart from the fact that it's set today and not in the 80's)All in all, high-octane action, with great humor and a very good cast...

imdb-45 I love every major actor in this film. But the miscasting is legendary. Liam Neeson is so badly miscast that you can see him trying to play the part of Hannibal right from the start and doing so in unconvincing fashion. He doesn't fit the part. And Face... sorry, great actor but he's not the ladies man. You know there is going to be a problem when the strongest member of the group is the non-actor - BA. And he's not great. Murdoch... just a total lamer. The miscasting is evident without seeing the prior history this story has seen. As a remake that didn't need to be remade, it's a disgrace. The IMDb rating is badly overblown and most generously above 6. If you go to other sites you'll see a far lower rating and for good reason. This is unfortunately a poor B movie. Watch at your own risk.The opening of the film wastes time on a mediocre back story. And then it's padded run time with the team envisioning success needlessly. All the famous lines are used to recreate the characters but so poorly that all you can think is "it's -insert name actor here- artificially uttering the lines made famous in trademark style." The team goes into Baghdad and let the ridiculous bravado begin. Don't say you weren't warned.
