A-Team movie

[Trekker4747]

I just got this movie on BD, I know it's been out a while, and watched it tonight. Still have to say it's not a half-bad movie and it's a shame it didn't do well enough to spawn a movie franchise. I thought it was good as a grittier, more "serious" take on the characters.

I watched the extended cut on the BD and it included a cameo from Dirk Benedict, the series' Face. (I don't recall that scene being in the theater release.)

Anyway, I think it's a good, fun enough, movie.

I really liked that movie. I don't know anything about the old show, but that was a great, fun, cool action movie.

The scenes with Dwight Shutlz & Dirk Benedict were not in the theatrical cut of the film, but were included as a bonus after the credits.

Well, the one with Benedict is in the "Extended/Director's Cut" in on BD.

Cool.

I was just sayin', ya would have seen it already if ya had stuck around for the end credits at the theater (or fastforwarded the credits on the DVD release).

I didn't see it as grittier, it was just the origin story what the TV Show might have been if the Vietnam War was still going when it came on

The Dirk Benedict cameo inserted into the extended cut is the same as the end credit Easter egg from the theatrical cut. Dwight Schultz has different stuff put back in.

When I saw it in the theater I didn't know of the post-credit sequence so I didn't stick around for it and I just bought the DVD release (actually BD release) today and watched the Extended Cut.

I enjoyed it very much. A nice update on a great classic. My favorite character had to be Hannibal, as played by Liam Neeson. For me, he brought back all the original piss and vinegar of the original character as played by George Peppard.

Agreed, Liam Neeson was the shiz and the nit as Hannibal Smith.

I also liked Sharlto Copley as Mad Dog Murdoch.

I had fun with it. The cast had good chemistry, and the action sequences were pretty cool, if ridiculous (though that's obviously by design). I picked up the Blu-Ray for something like $13 when it was on sale, so I have no qualms about owning it.

The bit with 'em flyin' a tank was insane, but I still loved it.

if you have a problem with a flying tank, you have a fundamental problem with modern cinema

I really liked all of the cast though I don't think Rampage really got B.A. down very good. And I think that Bradley Cooper "sells" the idea of him being a man so handsome he can woo people, women especially, into doing his bidden more than the dude from the series did (who, IMHO, wasn't even "1980s Handsome.")

 

[iguana_tonante]

The movie was a lot of fun.

 

[Pingfah]

It was pretty OK, very unconvincing effects work on the container ship collapsing though.

 

[Starkers]

I thought the film was way better than I expected it to be, and was really rather enjoyable. Not perfect by any means, but fun enough that I'd have quite liked a sequel. I thought it was well cast, even BA. I don't think anyone could really replicate Mr T but he did an ok job, and Neeson was much better than I'd have expected him to be (I always though Mel Gibson would have been perfect to play Hannibal though)

I beg to differ, He was Starbuck before the A-Team. His characer made his faceman reputation 15 years before when the exploits of the original A Team would have been in Vietnam and matched the Iraq focus of the movie.By the time we meet them he was more a Rockford approaching middle age then a Magnum having his youth because he was fighting when his peers had theirs.

Anybody could have been handsome in the '80s. Standards were lower then, ya know...

 

[Shazam!]

The flying tank was the best bit of the movie. The ending was an absolute mess.
