Thoughts? I'm not sure, The A-Team was quality cos of the old cast, none of these new ones will be a patch on them, should have been left in the past.

The "You miss me? Cos I missed youuuu" is just not BA at all, neither is the homie gangster lingo talk.

That`s nostalgia for you Very Happy

Trailer anyways

They should have got MR T to reprise his role. He looks almost the same now anyways.

This movie got in the way of Quinton vs. Evans Mad

Maybe no running jokes at all.

It looks like it takes itself waaaay too seriously to be 'The A-Team'.

I know, there probably won't even be a scene where they're locked in a shed with a toothpaste tube, some cheese and kangaroo and then burst out after building a tank from them.

hopefully (and supposedly) only temporarily...


i agree with VanIslander about the movie appearing to take itself far too seriously...and as much as i like jackson as a fighter and enjoyed watching the original a-team as a kid, think bringing the two together was a terrible idea.

It might be a good action movie. But it's not fun. It needs cheez. It needs "I pity da fool..." I like The Family Guy's version better!

I used to love watching the old A-Team tv shows~ it was the only show where there was tons of shooting and explosions and no one gets killed.

There was a cartoon series when I was a boy called "G-Force." Every episode seemed to begin with the evil villain, Zoltar, attacking and destroying a city or planet or ship. But someone would always say "thank goodness everyone was evacuated in time" no matter what!

That's what made cartoons like "Robotech" so awesome to watch- they actually showed people killed.

Reminds me of the G.I. Joe cartoon where fighter planes would get shot down (usually Cobras), but you would always see the pilot ejecting out.

Regarding the topic, it may be best for the movie to take a serious tone and go in another direction than the TV show.
It would never measure up trying to replicate it.

That may be so. Still, I wish there were more cheesy movies that weren't just gross-out or parody films. The only one which comes to mind was the Brady Bunch movies in the 90s which were comedies.

I watched it on TV for a bit and then stopped at one point. Meh.
