Re: The A-Team
Well a group of us girls went and we loved it. Equal proportions of action and comedy and a lil love thrown in...Jessica for the boys and quite a few shots of Bradley's bod for the girls.
I liked the way they showed how they all came together and thought they came up with good plans....loved it loved it

Re: The A-Team
Considering this lot gave 44 Inch Chest 3 out of 5 for what was arguably the worst, most pointless film made...... EVER, I'll take there comments with a pinch, no wait... a bucket of salt!Beate wrote:"A noisy charmless mess":

When I read these reviews, it makes me wonder what they were actually expecting from the film.

Re: The A-Team
Finally a spare 5 mins to write down my comments.
Saw this in a full Odeon in Edinburgh on Tuesday with 4 of my mates (all male much to the entertainment of Marjoreemajora and Biggins!).
I don't agree with most of the reviews that it wasn't in the spirit of the original; I thought it was it was total and utter rubbish but highly entertaining rubbish just like the original TV show I loved as a wee kid.
The five of us laughed out loud and just about cheered them on throughout and the two hours passed really quickly it was a fab night's entertainment and I've been raving about it ever since. Some pals have now pa*d to see it and have loved it too for the silly nonsence it is. It's not meant to be serious it's for fun and entertainment and in my opinion it succeeeded.
Some of the CGI was a tad ropey but it really didn't take away as anyone watching knew it wasn't real anyway. I thought the leads all were good except Quinton Rampage Jackson as BA he just wasn't bad assed enough to carry the role and didn't seem to have seen the tv programme unlike the others who were enjoying hamming it up.
I absolutely loved the TV series and I loved this too. Childish rubbish - fabulous!!!

Re: The A-Team
Just saw on Film4 a 10 minutes A-Team Special where cast and director talks about bringing the cult TV series to the big screen.
Director “if you don’t like tanks falling out of planes, then the summer film is not for you.” !

Re: The A-Team
Loved this for the 'don't tax your brain,' flash-bang entertainment it is.
I once went hiking with M. C. Escher. It was uphill all the way there and uphill all the way back.

Re: The A-Team
I loved this, 2 hours passed in about 10 minutes. I liked the action, even if parts of it were completely stupid!! I also loved the way they gave the background of the characters before the TV series started, especially the reason BA was scared of flying. I loved Bradley Cooper, I waited till the end of the credits and saw the bit with the him and the original Face, loved it, just wished they'd shown it before the credits as there was only about 4 of us waiting and the cleaners came in to clear up!!!
9/10.

Re: The A-Team
Great film, managed to get to see it a few weeks back and while it's not the best film ever made, it doesn't need to be. Lots of bangs and explosions, flying tanks and Liam Neeson putting in an amazing turn, as did the rest of the cast. Highly recommended.

Re: The A-Team
^^Yes I agree, I don't know why these films put these little teasers at the end of the credits, most people will miss it and that is a shame. I also stayed until the end so got to see it but I don't always feel the urge to sit through 5 minutes of rolling credits to maybe get something at the end. If they insist on doing that, it would be nice if they gave viewers a little heads up that it's not quite over then people can decide if they still want to rush off.
