I love this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!

From the opening scenes in which each of the team are introducedindividually onwards I was amused and entertained by The A-Team.Themain cast-and the chemistry between them- was 100% accurate.

All of the cast shone but special credit must go to Sharlto Copley whosteals another movie as HM Murdoch. He is hilarious in every scene andgets most of the film's best lines.

Special mention also to uber-hottie Jessica Biel. If God had agirlfriend she'd look like Jessica.

Unlike tired old stuff like The Expendables or Salt The A-Team isreally inventive and original effortlessly combining action and humour.

I'll be pre-ordering the DVD and praying for a sequel.

Recap: The A-team is a covert unit of army Rangers that perform allsorts of missions that need to be done outside of any set of rules. Agroup of four odd characters that function only by their own code. Atthe end of the second Iraqi War, the team get the mission to secure aset of stolen dollar plates. As usual the team does their mission, inspectacular fashion. But instead of a reward someone betrays them, theyare accused of stealing the plates themselves, and thrown into prison.But as long they live, they will seek out who betrayed them and getrevenge.

Comments: Not quite the original A-Team, nothing can ever compare tothat. But maybe this is something that can start a new franchise oftheir own. Fast-paced, full of action and tongue in cheek humor. Thefour characters are an odd group, and Neeson, Cooper, Jackson andCopley does it well , but since nobody could ever do a BA Baracusbetter than Mr T for example, any comparison would be unfair. Thismovie should be viewed and judged on its own.

And on its own, it works very well. Unrealistic, sure, but that is whatwe want from it. It is very entertaining, well narrated and a highoctane action through and through. So good in fact that I wouldn't minda sequel, because I want to see more.

8/10

THE A-TEAM succeeded as a television series by Frank Lupo and StephenJ. Cannell because it knew how to mix gore and comedy. The same is truefor the movie version written by Director Joe Carnahan with Brian Bloomand Skip Woods - dipping in to the original series a bit. It is a fastmoving kicker of an evening's entertainment, not a challenge to thebrain but fun all the same.

This A-Team has been out of action for a while but regroup to do theimpossible - enter Bagdad and capture the counterfeit plates for100-dollar bills before the 'enemy' makes a mint of fake money. Fromthe get-go this bizarre group of Special Forces soldiers seem to makethings up as they go - the 'plan' being the ideal process but one thatbasically eludes them - or does it? This particular cinematic A-Team iscomposed of the leader Col. Hannibal Smith (a gray haired but fastthinking Liam Neeson), the lady-killer stud Face (a very buff BradleyCooper), hard-nosed mohawked Baracus (Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson) andthe ever so loony Murdock (the new and very promising Sharlto Copley).Put these guys in helicopters, in tanks, in every imaginable disastroussituation and they manage to come out just fine and making hilariousjokes of the whole thing. Part of the pleasure of this otherwiseforgettable film is the obvious fun the cast members are having. Thespecial effects are better than usual, the supporting cast boasts suchactors as Jessica Biel, Gerald McRaney, Patrick Wilson, Yul Vazquez,Henry Czerny, and Jon Hamm - some in roles that pass so fast that theyalmost go unnoticed. Alan Silvestri provides the musical score that isas entertaining on its own as the film itself and the Director ofPhotography Mauro Fiore is the one that give us the impossible effectsa near tenable reality.

This is a film to rent or buy for an evening of escapism. It is actionpacked and hilariously funny!

I've watched this movie yesterday on DVD with my cousins and my oldestsibling.

At first, I thought it was gonna blow, but thanks to its action scenesand hilarious jokes, this movie is splendid. I didn't recommend thatsome people saw this and some people didn't. I didn't even know that itwas based on some TV series and to tell the truth, I didn't even watchit. Yes, it is a shame. now, for the good things about this movie.

Good: The moments with Liam Neeson and Jessica Biel were the best inthis movie. The rest of the cast turned out pretty well.

Bad: It had a lot of flaws in this movie. I don't know some of them, incase you understand.

though, it isn't my favorite movie, The A-Team will sure to keep youwanting more.
