    I loved watching this as a kid as well, every now and then when they air reruns I catch it on tv...hopefully the movie will be somewhat decent. I always wanted to own that van lol, along with kit and the general lee.
    I love animals, they're delicious!

    I saw the trailer for this before Iron Man 2...

    I simply CANNOT buy Liam Neeson as George Pappard's stand in for Hanibal...

    This looks stupid. No one played BA's character like Mr T anyway...

    I kinda checked around and it looks like most of the reviews for "The A-Team" are positive. Hmmm....I actually have the urge to see this movie in a theater.

    he got the temp ban about a month ago. So don't know if he'll be back or not after its lifted.


    I saw a trailer on TV last night and just it looked terrible to me (graphics ect wise). It was where they are in the tank in the sky and shoot all the crap around them. Just the whole thing looked really cheesy and over played and frankly dumb. I might see this yet if I don't make it to the theater to see it I won't cry myself to sleep over it.

    A rental for me.
    If...
    Ron dislikes a film = go out and buy it.
    Ron loves a film = don't even rent.

    So I've been reading a lot of the reviews for the movie and it seems many movie critics think that a tank parachuted out of a giant transport plane is ridiculous (this is one of the action sequences in the movie and is featured in the TV ads and movie trailers). So here you go....

    Movie critics; their nothing but useless, uneducated opinions and should never be taken seriously. Really, there bagging on an action sequence in a popcorn film. HAHAHAHAAA!!!

    saw it last night. Honestly it was funny for a lot of parts and just fun. Granted things were not super realistic but hey, its a movie, things happen. I enjoyed it for what it was, plus having a group of friends with is always a plus too.

    Just came back from it.....

    I'm not going to write a long review of "The A-Team" because I think we all know what to expect from it. It's actually very entertaining, with a couple really over the top action sequences, including the "flying the tank" sequence. There's a plot, unlike how it was described by some movie critics who lacked the intellengence to understand it. People do die in the movie, although there's really no blood. There's just the right amount of humor in the movie to keep the story moving along and the cast does seem to have chemistry, especially Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper. Sorry guys, no flashes of skin from Jessica Biel; she seems "lightweight" for her role but she looks great in her black leather boots and dark suits. The movie is almost 2 hours long but it certainly didn't felt like it....in fact, I was more tired of the endless trailers being shown ahead of the film. And for fans of the TV show, please stay until the credit finished rolling.

    A solid "B" from me.
