  Save for the unnecessary romantic subplot, constant "remember the TV show? wink wink" moments, and most of the breaking out montage in the middle of the second act, I still maintain that The A-Team is a terrific and fun action film, and one that was largely underrated in its original run in theatres.

  Action! - Smokin' Joe & The Team Carnahan

  Part of me has always been interested by this film, not just because of the cast, but also because the premise of the series that the film adapts for the big screen is intriguing. Although, like many others, I only knew about it because of Mr. T's involvement. And if there's one thing I have to give the movie credit for, it's that it made me want to watch the series.

  The movie itself was enjoyable. There are a lot of interesting concepts, and the acting is mostly adequate; I'm not sure whether any of the characters are true to their source material, but Liam Neeson, as always, exudes coolness, and Sharlito looks…

  Review by Andy Summers 🤠 ★★★★½ 5

  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…

  Review by matt lynch ★

  "The Central Intelligence Agency believes in and evinces a profound moral ethic, as well as an unshakeable moral standard."

  the hidden sickness/genius of Bay's TRANSFORMERS films is that the good guys might as well also be the bad guys. you need them, you need their terrible methods, you just don't appreciate it yet. their self-important collateral damage is in service of a supposedly democratic, patriotic good. but these guys are true badasses, right? they get down for recreation. fuck yeah. the corporate Halliburton black-polo-shirt-and-Kevlar trigger dudes are posers. they don't believe it. they're in it to get paid. this is more poisonous than any movie about robots punching each other could ever be.

  “AHHHHHHHH— You pancaked my van! I’m gonna kill you, fool!”

  Joe Carnahan’s directing style is broad, in The A-Team it almost feels as though you’re watching a Michael Bay film. It’s action packed with nicely timed comedic beats and a stacked cast that embodies colorful characters who possess awesome personalities.

  The A-Team deserves to be seen in all its glory with The Extended Edition. This film is probably the first Carnahan film I ever saw & I fell in love with it the moment it ended. I’m also a huge fan of The Grey (2011) from Carnahan; there’s a lot more of his filmography that I need to take a look at but one of the biggest mistakes in the history…

  I wanted to love this! Unfortunately,  it felt forced like children who hang together because the parents are the real friends.

  Review by NoahGingerFox ★★★½ 3

  When it came to American 80s shows, I have a long list of favourites, Cheers, Knight Rider, Dukes of Hazzard and Baywatch, my all time favourite is hands down The A-Team, yes it’s very dated and has a lot of action sequences are extremely over the top, but that’s what I love about it. Considering how much I love the show, I was cautious watching the film adaptation, and I can gladly say that I had a really good time. 

  This movie gets so much of what made the show so enjoyable, the action sequences that most likely wouldn’t work in real life but are extremely fun anyway, how the main characters are pricks to each other but ultimately have…

  This is the movie your fun, slightly offensive drunk uncle watches when he sleeps on the couch after a fight with his wife

  I'm still disappointed we never got a sequel to this. This movie is so much fun. Plus it has a flying tank.

  Review by 🇵🇱 Steve G 🇵🇸 ★★★½ 16

  There have been far too many good action films that have failed at the box office this decade or failed to garner the releases they deserve.

  This leads me to the conclusion that people have completely forgotten how to have fun. Unless the characters are wearing capes. Now I recognise that's a blanket generalisation and I have railed against these vociferously and regularly on this website over the last 5 years. But I'm afraid I can see no other conclusion after really enjoying The A-Team and being shocked that it flopped at the box office.

  Now of course, the Fast & Furious, James Bond and Mission: Impossible franchises are slam-dunks. They will always make money. But aside from franchises that are…

  God I forgot that the tank scene is really one of the funniest action movie set pieces. What's better than this, guys being dudes?
