I couldn't see a review anywhere, so a quick one from me (it's been a while  ;D)

Simple really. This is good fun. Crazy, silly plot with crazy, silly effects yet so much more enjoyable in exactly the way Transformers wasn't...

All the team members did a great job in my opinion of capturing the essence of the TV series, although I must admit it was so long ago my memory could be playing tricks. I kinda remember Murdoch as being more hands on with gadgets. Talking of Murdoch, I saw the actors name at the beginning without thinking about it. When the credits rolled and I saw his name again, Shalto Copley, it clicked. he played 'Wickkus' in District 9. In the A-Team movie, he even does a Sert Efrican accent at one point. Of course, that was actually his own accent!

Stay to after the credits too. It was worth the wait (",)

3.5/5 plans that came together.

Level42:
Definitely not going to see it in the theater maybe later on DVD or so...

About your memory playing tricks: don't they do re-runs there ?

I think they are on everyday over here now :)

No, the A-team for me will always be the guys from the A-team, I don't want to see other actors in their role...sorry but all these kind of movies are simply not doing the trick for me. It's probably fine for the youth though....

Gorotsuki:
I was curious about it,
Mr. T being a childhood hero and all.
Thanks for the review.
Probably catch it on dvd, haven't gone
to the theater in years.

Yeah, when I first heard they were going to make an A-team movie, I thought it would be really crap and I wouldn't bother. But then I saw a few trailers in the cinema and I realised they did a pretty good job of it (",)

Level42, although I liked the A-team when I was a kid, I don't think it's really re-run worthy on free-to air TV, which is all I watch. Can't be bothered with cable (57 channels and nothing on). On free-to-air in Australia, they tend to only re-run absolute classics, like Get Smart.

Level42:
Get smart ? Never heard of it.
