Escape to the Movies: The A-Team

[Callate]

Bob? I'm willing to listen, including when you're not in sync with other mainstream critics. But stop bitching about Batman being dark and moody. We get it. Not your thing. Trying to pin all genre sins on a couple of very popular movies (a handful, depending on where you want to start counting) is beginning to make you sound like a crank.

The bigger question is why did they make another toy story movie, when their original audience (I.E. me) are now in their late teens going into their 20's. i mean fair enough if it was back 5 or 6 years ago but now? I think I'll give it a pass.

And to be even relatively on topic, maybe I'll convince the family into going to see this, they've said that they're in a mood to see a movie and this looks like a winner.

 

[Squirrelwarrior]

Just came back from seeing the movie, and I pretty much have to agree with everything said in the review. The bottom line is that it's a fun movie, and I would recommend it to just about anyone.

 

[Zing]

Fuck yeah Small Soldier 2!

Anyway, you're my new favourite reviewer Bob. The people's critic, many critics take EVERY movie so fucking serious. You cannot go into The A-Team and expect to sit there thinking. It's a fantastic movie.

I'm surprised you didn't mention just how good Sharlto Copley is as Murdock. I thought he was batshit insane and hilarious.

you spin me right round baby right round...

I don't think you understand just how easy children are to please. You can take a five year old to TS3 and he'll enjoy it as much as an Original animated movie. It's been proven though that adults are allowed to enjoy these sorts of movies though, Look at UP and Wall-E. Both critically acclaimed and loved by children and adults alike.

Yes, I remember Cats&Dogs, and yes, I thought the exact same thing when it came out. "What. The. Hell."

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Excellent! I was looking forward to this!

Calumon: I pity the fool who thinks I'm meant to be taken seriously!

 

[addeB]

I'm not really a A-team fan but I guess this could be good, I will check it out.

 

[lordofthelost]

Fan of the old show, used to watch the reruns all summer long. gonna go see this today!!

 

[Glamorgan]

Can't see this yet I'm on my iPhone. Why isnt there a mobile vesion of the escapist?

There is, but you have to be a premium member. It lets you watch all the videos on smartphones.

Using the recoil of a tank's main gun to guide it while it's falling out of the sky is probably the most badass thing I've seen this year.

It's an epic movie and I highly recommend it

Actually, I remember loving Cats & Dogs... then again, I was about 8 years old at the time and had no sense of what quality cinema was. (Then I met Tarantino...)

Anyway, I was really expecting this A-Team movie to suck. I remember watching reruns of the series when I was about 10-14 years old, and that I loved. This just seemed too modern and taking itself too seriously for my taste. Apparently, that's not the case. However, I still cannot get over the fact that no group of actors will ever, ever, EVER be as cool or iconic as the cast from the TV show. But that is something I'll have to live with when I go see this.

And I hope you are not making a fool out of me, Bob. I shan't be pitied.

 

[Wolcik]

In that case Me and my mom will love this movie XD I like to count on Bob more than others reviews.
Thor looks awesome, while cap is cap - he's cool but isn't such a big deal if your patroism isn't about dressing in your contry's flag.

 

[Vestri]

Thanks, Im pretty sure I'd wanna see the A-Team. But Mr T in the film looks different to the Mr T we see in those snickers adds I was hoping they'd keep the same guy. Oh well.

 

[Hussmann54]

Saw it for myself, and I loved it!

 

[Gilhelmi]

HE** YA, ITS A FUN TIME.

The new problem is, I have got to find the original A-Team on DVD

EDIT: I forgot, I really, really, really, really hope the Mythbusters do an A-Team special. I want to know if you can fly a tank on recoil, and if it would still drive out of a lake afterwards.

 

[Hyper-space]

Oh and one more thing, I would LOVE a Small Soldiers 2

HEAR HEAR!

 

[Cheery Lunatic]

I saw it yesterday. It was flippin' awesome!

I was nearly crying with laughter at a few parts. It was probably the funnest movie I've gone to see. Murdock totally stole the show. The "3-D movie" thing at the psych ward....ohmahgawd...

 

[felicia_angel]

I loved it when I saw it, and will admit that it did capture the parts with the Armed Services quite well (which, as a Navy Vet, I loved just as much). It was a great matinee movie and I'm glad it was done so well.

 

[Julianking93]

I was bored yesterday and it was too fucking hot to stay outside so I just thought "what the hell, I'll go see The A Team despite hating the old show"

I was pleasently surprised in all honesty. It was just a fun movie and for what it was, it was worth it.
