The A-Team (2010)
Posted on Friday, August 20th, 2010
I was 6 years old when the A-Team TV show aired in 1983. I remember watching the show with my father and I loved it. In the beginning of the movie, there is a scene where Faceman is barreling down a hill in a roll of tires and I swear I saw that in one of the episodes as a child.
Last week, I insisted on going to see the film in a movie theater to truly experience the surround sound and action. They had a lot of explosions, gunfire, flying in the air, and fight scenes.
Pros: Exceptional job choosing actors that really capture the original cast, especially with Liam Neeson, who wears the Hannibal look very well. I liked when the characters went over their plans and then show everything unfold in the next scene. Once again, the movie kept my interest because it brought back memories of the old show and the actors truly resembled the original cast. I think people who never watched the TV show will appreciate it less (like my sweetie).
Cons: Some of the action scenes were too far-fetched to digest and annoyed me at times. I don’t want the implausibility of a scene to glare me straight in the face. The movie may have been a tad too long – my sweetie actually fell asleep and doesn’t remember much of it.
Other actors to take note of in the movie include Bradley Cooper (Faceman), Jessica Biel, and Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson (B.A. Baracus).
Cool Fact: The original Faceman and Murdock have cameos in the movie. Mr. T declined to appear in the film. The original Hannibal passed away in 1994.
