The A-Team

[the saturday boy]

I enjoyed the film. Of course it was unbelievable but that's what the A Team's always has been and as such lacked bling. There was too much bad CGI but as a big dumb blockbuster it was entertaining enough certainly better than some of the turds we got last summer.

Went and saw it at Bournemouth Odeon really enjoyed every minute of it. Very entertaining and farfetched but that what makes the A Team movie so great.

I agree that the story line was farfetched, but then so are James Bond ones and loads of people seem to love him, although, just for the record, I don't . The guy who played the Face looked exactly like my US friend Larry and everything about me reminded me of him, he's sooo vain.

Anyway, I enjoyed it, as it didn't involve much thought and we could sit back and relax in the comfy seats in the Apollo.

I did think the film was a bit long though. I made a mad dash for the loo as soon as it ended (so sorry not to have said goodbye to Beate/OH, Prettyxcool and 5rannoch properly), only to have my dash thwarted by the chap in front of me going up the stairs feeling his gf's bum on every step. Err, just because it's your gf's behind and she can't see it, everyone else behind you can

I normally ask hubbie to these screenings and 9 out of 10 he says he's too busy, so yesterday I didn't bother. I got home, told him about the movie and he said he used to watch The A Team when he was a kid and would have gone if I'd asked!! Now since when have husbands needed asking!!!

This was my first time at the Apollo... I was in awe. What a cinema!!!

Yeah, it was long and I forgot it started at 7pm so got a shock when we finished late. Hey no worries, everyone was dashing off too.

Now since when have husbands needed asking!!!

All the time!

But then when you take them, sometimes it's as if they are doing you a favour.

There's not much I can add. It was fun, it was pretty dumb, but that's all it was ever meant to be, so fair play. Sharlto Copley waa pretty fantastic and definitely the best thing on the screen. I like how Hannibal seemed to disguise himself as a famous actor.

I definitely agree about the camera work during the action sequences, it was just dreadful. Overall it was enjoyable but nothing memorable or worth raving about. I'd go 7/10.

Hi went to Sheffield Odeon which has to be the worst cinema in the area, you feel like you have stepped back in time walking in there.
But despite that I really enjoyed the film, it was much better than I expected after reading some of the reviews. Yes it was farfatched but so was the original TV series, the amount of bullets that fly around and noboday ever gets shot is soooo funny. Especially like the helicopter chase scenes, how did they miss being blown up :)
I thought it was well made as they could have very easily made it a 15 cert so a nice refreshing change to stick to the basics of the TV series which was good family entertainment. All the cast played their parts brill, couldnt stop humming the theme tune all night!
8/10

I love it. I know it's over the top but the 80's series A-team, McGuyver, MI (cause I watched MI 3 last night) have always been so... a pin can solve everything. the flying tanker, mmmm crazy yet theoretically possible based on inertia principle (physicist, anyone???). hehehe all in all loved it... an 8/10 from me

All the cast played their parts brill, couldnt stop humming the theme tune all night!

yeahhh me too...

There's a hilarious one-star review in The Times today, can't post a link as online access now requires p*ying!

I stopped reading reviews of critics a long time ago. It was dumb, mindless, entertainment, but at someone said, was it that much more far fetched than ENTIRE Bond collection? 20 bad guys with machine guns miss everything, our "hero" fires 4 shots, hits 4 targets. Hmm!

I didn't take it too seriously, I didn't have high expectations, and whilst I won't be queuing up for the DVD, it was good fun entertainment. There's a time to think, and there's a time to just let sh*t blow up! And for that, it did what it says on the tin.
