    The A-Team

    Reviewed by

    Too many bullets and too many forced plot twists make this big screen adaptation of the 80s hit tv show a miss in my book. Don't get me wrong, the concept needed a facelift for the new generation to relate to it, but that could have been done without the ridiculous amount of shooting and hitting everything except the intended targets! And the whole ship container scene was just ridiculous to the point of being an actual farce. I was a huge A-Team fan back in the day, and I had very reasonable expectations going into this movie to avoid major disappointment. I still came out unhappy. About the only good part was the casting of Howling Mad Murdoch, which was spot on! I can't give this movie any more than a 5/10. It truly was just so so, worth it pretty much only if you don't pay... and even then.

    Haven't seen the movie yet, but you say you were a fan back when it was on TV... if you were, what was with the comment "could have been done without the ridiculous amount of shooting and hitting everything except the intended targets!"? If you remember the show at all, then you know that was the A-Team!! Hit everything but never once hitting anyone!

    Oh there is a world of difference between the amount of bullets used on the original tv show to create a diversion or scare the bad guys off and the volume & caliber wasted in this movie even in places where innocent people could have been hit/killed. It's bullet-palooza!! Don't get me wrong, they had to modernize it, and nowadays it's all big guns with tons of bullets or you loose a lot of people's attention. It's a testament to the blockbuster times! I think this movie was made more with the non tv show fans in mind. And that's ok.
