Of all the television series that have been adapted for the big screen, few have worked quite as well as Joe Carnahan's reinterpretation of dodgy eighties series The A-Team. The tv show was really for kids despite all the gunplay and action, and probably made more money from lunch boxes and merchandise than the stars did. It was cheesy and cliche-ridden, but the kids loved it. This film however does take it up a notch but manages to keep some of the charm of the series. Although not a huge box office hit, it had the perfect mix of action and comedy, and a cast that embraced the sometimes outrageously implausible plotting to give us a film that was so…
(Film 19 of Toby's Attempt At The December Project)
Instead of an serious review, I shall give you five reasons why this film is just so goddamn awesome.
1) It's the A-Team
2) Sharlto Copley as Murdock
3) Liam Neeson.
4) THEY FLY A TANK. Wait, let me repeat that. THEY. FLY. A TANK.
5) It's the fucking A-Team.
Sorry, were you expecting something a little more sensible? Because this film does not do sensible. It is fun. And that is another reason why I love this. It's just one of those films which you can just sit back, switch off, and spend about 90 minutes grinning at how awesome the explosions are. And the flying tank. And B.A Baracus. That's more than five reasons now, isn't it?
I apologise wholeheartedly for the following review.
Not just for the bad word I am about to use...
I CUNTING love this film.
It's The Fucking A-Team! What did everyone expect?! A five star film? With a perfect screenplay? Truly evil bad guys? A plot that makes sense? Amazing acting?...
I wanted to see a flying tank blow up a plane. And I got it. Cooper and Copely are excellent and it's a few better framed action set pieces away from being an action great in my book.
I love it when a plan comes together.
In the lead up to the Oscar Red Carpet, as is normally the case, the movie channels were showing utter crap. That was until Film Four stepped in to save the day with The A-Team, a film so entertaining it almost makes us forget how lame the television series was. Remember this was the show that despite the brilliance of Dwight Schultz had cameos from the likes of Boy George and Hulk Hogan that alongside the cartoonish violence was lapped up by a pre-teen audience. It may have a nostalgia factor for some, but the film kicks its ass B.A. style.
The first task faced by director Joe Carnahan was finding a star to replace a Hollywood legend that led…
When it comes to fun adrenaline rushes with a large splattering of humor, it doesn't get much better than Joe Carnahan's "A-Team". A big budget, high octane take on the eighties television series, it had its tongue set firmly in its cheek.
The original cast members of the A-Team became household names back in their heyday. George Peppard and particularly Mr T were high profile stars on the back of its success. Peppard of course was in the twilight of a fine career, but had one last bit of fun before he shuffled off this mortal coil. Replacing those guys was going to be a tough prospect. Carnahan however started with the blinding choices of Liam Neeson as "Hannibal Smith"…
Having its tongue planted surprisingly subtly yet firmly in cheek while still delivering a fun and energetic adaptation of the classic 80's TV series of the same name and a enjoyably over-the-top standalone action film, The A-Team wouldn't be as wildly entertaining as it is if not for Joe Carnahan's spirited writing and direction and a bravura quartet in Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley, and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, all of whom are perfectly cast.
I never watched the original TV series, beyond a vague awareness of Mr. T I knew literally nothing about it. Which meant that I couldn't feel like this reboot was letting me down, but I also was in no way ingratiated with the franchise. Seemed like the positives and negatives of going in blind like that sort of cancelled each other out, and that's pretty much the attitude I've got to the movie itself. There was cool stuff, there was some lame stuff, and all in all they levelled themselves out for a pretty average movie-watching experience.
The implausibility of it all is very tongue-in-cheek, but that only goes so far with two hours of shouting and explosions in this forgettable ADHD heist film.
Von der ersten bis zur letzten Minute absolut gaga. Das A-Team eben. Ich liebe es, wenn ein Film funktioniert!
The only purpose of this remake seems to be an attempt to reignite interest in the original TV show's concept to the tween and young teen boy set. The plot is barely there amidst the showboating and posturing of the individual characters, as well as the rampaging action which is really what we all came for anyway, right? A bunch of individual military rangers coalesce into a team that is subsequently sent on the run from being wrongly accused. It's a good whack by the actors at reliving Hannibal, Face, Murdock, and Barackus, and none of them are so offensively off that they ruin the characters. Cartoonish action, requiring extensive suspension of disbelief, and mayhem with a forgettable plot and standard one-liner humor.
Why did I re watch this! Such a middle of the road movie. I’ll stick to the TV show in future.
