If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Absolutely the worst movie.

A Disappointing Continuation

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 The van hardly comes out and the Vietnam war, of course, has been replaced by the Iraq war but the film's plot has nothing to do with that of the series.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?

Plot; Four soldiers are framed and set out to clear their names and catch those responsible.Having recently revisited the original TV series I thought I'd give the big screen adaptation another shot. My original impression was that it was a loud, joyless, overlong mess, wasting the talents of a cast that was pretty much spot on. My impression now is... pretty much the same as it was six years ago. There are some aspects that I appreciated more this second go 'round. For one there's Patrick Wilson, who's great as a sleazy CIA agent. Wilson always seems to be in an entirely different, and much better, movie. There's also some fun to be had in fits and starts. Unfortunately none of it really ever gels despite game efforts from all involved.

Based on the television series of the same name created by Frank Lupo and Stephen J. Cannell, 'The A-Team' is A Fun Action Flick, that entertains till it lasts. Its strictly a popcorn fare, that dazzles in explosive action & a fine cast.'The A-Team' Synopsis: A group of Iraq War veterans looks to clear their name with the U.S. military, who suspect the four men of committing a crime for which they were framed.'The A-Team' begins engrossingly & maintains the pace pretty well. However, the last 40-minutes are lower on excitement, as the narrative gets extremely predictable at this point. The climax also doesn't have the punch, but the action keeps you glued. Joe Carnahan, Brian Bloom & Skip Woods's Adapted Screenplay is fun, but it could've been more clever. Carnahan's Direction is good. Action-Sequences are simply WOW! The stunts are exceptionally executed! Cinematography is richly done. Editing is okay. Art & Costume Design fit in. Production Value is superb! Performance-Wise: Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Quinton Jackson & Sharlto Copley excel. Copley & Neeson, especially, play completely to the gallery. Jessica Biel is average. Patrick Wilson does nicely as the villain.On the whole, 'The A-Team' is quite a ride, despite some faults!

Mirthless, dead-eyed movie, propelled forward through space and time by money alone. That defenders of this movie always frame their argument within the phrase "I know what kind of movie this is..." it's like saying ' I know this movie is a piece of sh*t but also it's not half bad '. The movie is going to be one or the other, never both. Fine, movie's problem is that it's not a comedy. A-Team as an awful 80's TV show is hilarious, everything is impossible and the plot is moronic and something blows up every episode. This movie takes itself way too serious, just a humorless bore full of sad machismo. We can't blame everything on cocaine, so what is this movie's excuse?
