  This was a lot of fun. The actors they chose to do the different parts were actually very well casted. The ridiculous over the top fun that was the A-Team was successfully transplanted to the big screen.

  If you loved the 80's A-Team TV series you will love this movie. Corny lines, impossible missions, it's got it all. It shows how the team was formed and how they became fugitives. Great cast. Liam Neeson is brilliant as Hannibal. As in the movie Taken, he's an… More
  If you loved the 80's A-Team TV series you will love this movie. Corny lines, impossible missions, it's got it all. It shows how the team was formed and how they became fugitives. Great cast. Liam Neeson is brilliant as Hannibal. As in the movie Taken, he's an unexpectedly good action hero. Bradley Cooper is a hunky Face, Murdock is still loopy and BA is still scared of flying. I like Jessica Biel but I didn't think she was right for the lead female role. She is pretty but there's no substance to her character. I think someone like Demi Moore or Jodie Foster would have been better, more gutsy but I guess they needed a younger model. Maybe even Jessica Alba would have been a better choice.

  TV-based action-comedy digs up the story of a group of four Iraq War soldiers. Their names are Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith (Liam Neeson), Templeton "Face" Peck (Bradley Cooper), B.A. Baracus (Quinton Jackson), and H.M. "Howlin' Mad" Murdock (Sharlto Copley). After being arrested for a crime (it's unclear what crime it is in specific, but it's quite clear that none of them actually committed it), they set out to clear their names from the U.S. military. That plot is the worst part of this film. The "clearing names" piece has become not a staple but, in fact, a clichà (C) to the action and thriller genres. Don't believe me? Watch SALT, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, and FLETCH. You'll find at least that plot point in common. Full Review: http://wp.me/p1Urcx-xt

  I have never watched a single episode of the A-team, but a movie should be enjoyable regardless of whether a person has watched the show or not. This is one of those films where I enjoyed it overall, but it is a bad movie. The plot feels like three movies in one. The film is a trilogy of origin stories. The action is noisy and over-the-top, but that is the point. The biggest enjoyment factor in this film is seeing the main cast interact with each other. Their are some moments of fun, but as a whole, it is a disjointed mess.

  One of the very few summer movies of 2010, alongside Iron Man 2, that I actually enjoyed. I originally had no intention of seeing this, but there was nothing showing during those months so I gave this a shot. I really liked it alot. I know nothing about the television show, but this film is great by itself. The action, fighting, and special effects sequences are great. The whole movie is intense and highly entertaining. Never once was I bored. I also really liked the cast. Liam Neeson, again, has given us another really good action movie. Bradley Cooper, Patrick Wilson, and Jessica Biel were also good. It was also nice to Sharlto Copley after loving his performance in District 9. He was very funny. This is a great, fun, action-packed, blockbuster movie. I really enjoyed it and I'd definitely recommend it.

  Pretty fun. Not nearly as violent as I thought, or the original actors made out it was. Clever directing, and good transition of plots from old to new. Kids stuff action movie, but old school vibe.

• Bethany M

  
  A great film. My favourite part being 'You spin me right round' A must see! Bradley Cooper with his shirt off. You can't miss that!

• Ken S

  
  Horrible editing and a script working at 180mph pretty much ruins A-Team from moment one.

• Brad W

  
  Didnt really enoy film, waste of cast. They put too much comedy in there, the plot was really forgettable, the characters were really dissapointing compared to the show. I kind of hated this movie.

• Summer W

  
  It was totally goofy, but a lot of fun, just like the show was. In that vein, it was a faithful adaptation. Did I mention it was fun?

• Derek D

  
  A pretty good film adaption of the classic tv show. Neeson does very well in George Peppard's shoes and Bradley Cooper fills in well as Face. Typical newer stylish effects, but it doesn't quite take away from the film too much. I've seen much better action movies, but… More
  A pretty good film adaption of the classic tv show. Neeson does very well in George Peppard's shoes and Bradley Cooper fills in well as Face. Typical newer stylish effects, but it doesn't quite take away from the film too much. I've seen much better action movies, but this one is still pretty good by itself. Nice cameos after the credits roll.

  Despite this film's crazy and fun moments, the acting and plot to this film fall a bit short even for an action movie.

Despite being almost too relentless at times and being a little too long, "The A-Team" is never short of entertaining and is an exciting couple of hours that no genre fan should pass up.

  A fun popcorn action movie that does what it sets out to do and does it well. It has tons of action, some of it pointless and some of it exciting, but either way there's much worse you can spend your time watching than Liam Neeson breaking teammates out of jail by slamming a tank through the wall while they are watching a movie. It's subtle, I know. It has some funny moments too thanks to Sharlto Copley and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson's raport with the crew. Not really a fan of Bradley Cooper, though. He is just kind of there while Liam Neeson soaks in all the awesomeness. Jessical Biel is there to add a little sexiness to the preceedings. Not everyone will like it, but you can certainly pass me some extra butter to go with my popcorn.

  Whether it is an A grade for the action or an A grade for the effort, Joe Carnahan puts the "A" in <i>The A-Team</i>.<p>The character introductions are a focal point of the movie. In fact, it is so much so that the opening credits don't finish until nearly 20 minutes into the picture. From here on out the plot develops more and more into as the film progresses.</p><p>This wouldn't be <i>The A-Team</i> if it wasn't for the action. There are boatloads of explosions, flying projectiles, and total mayhem throughout the film. The effects are a mixed bag. Some are done well, while others not so much. These are minor disappointments along with some of the editing and camera angles.</p><p>The cast is a good one. Liam Neeson has the persona to lead a team of characters like this and Bradley Cooper is a solid second in command. Quinton Jackson steps up to the plate and blends in nicely, while Sharlto Copley is the most amusing of the bunch. The lovely Jessica Biel is a delightful supporting character to watch.</p><p>To put it simply, <i>The A-Team</i> is a solid 2 hour action adventure and can be considered an adaptation done right.</p>

  Run of the mill action movie. Expect lots a brawn and muscle, explosions, shootouts, etc. Hot guys (Cooper and Wilson) and Liam Neeson earns it an extra star.

  I have to say I expected the worst from this but was pleasantly surprised and pleased by the time the credits rolled. I saw most of the TV series as a young boy and this film does keep a lot true to the original TV series. Just given a modern update and treated like a modern day action film with big stunts and over the top action plans only the A Team could do. At times it felt like a mix of the Bourne Trilogy crossed with Ocean's 11 elaborate missions! There is plenty of humour and it doesn't take itself seriously, pity the critics who just didn't get it, fool's!! A pure popcorn action blast everyone in the right frame of mind should enjoy.

  Two days later, thinking about this movie gave me a headache. Take that as you will.

  Let me start this review with a disclaimer: I am not a fan of the original series this is based on. I've never watched that show, aside fro a few clips. Thusly, my take on this film is an objective one. I would be interested to see what a fan of the show thinks of this, though. Joe Carnahan just has a knack for making ridiculous and entertaining action movies. Narc is the exception, but still- only maybe Troy Duffy and Guy Ritchie could compete with this guy. The set up, story, and results are all pretty typical: a group of speciailsts get set up, then go on a wild mission to clear their names, find out the truth, blah, blah. That doesn't take away from the fact that, even then, this is a fun movie. Dumb and typical, but still a hell of a lot of fun. The cast all look like they had tons of fun making this, and show a good sense of camraderie. The four mains all fit their parts fairly well- especially my favorite, which is Sharlto Copley as the scenery shewing scene stealer. He's a riot to watch. Quentin "Rampage" Jackson has the unenviabnle jobv of filling Mr. T's shoes. I don't really know if it he pulls it off perfectly, but I can't think of anyone else who oculd have done the role, either. He's not an actor, but he's passable enough given the circumstances. Neeson and Cooper make a great pair, and Wilson, though sort of phoning it in, is okay. Biel isn't really believable in her part, but she has some chemistry with Cooper and looks good in shades. As you'd expect, this is a feast for the ears and eyes when it comes to the action. A little less CGI would have been better, but things were still well done and a blast to watch. I didn't like some of the choppy editing, though. That could have been worked out better, as could the first twenty minutes. I know it's supposed ot introduce the characters, but right after the first twenty is another stretch of time setting up the main plot. They should have taken the stuff from the first twenty and either shortened it, or somehow used it as flashbacks or something. Also, while this wasn't too big of an issue for me, some people may not liek the planning of the action scenes intercut with the action scenes themselves. This came close to being THE goofy popcorn action fest of the summer, and while it doesn't quite get there, it is still some very harmless dopey fun. A special mention needs to go to the music. There's some great needledrops here, but I'd say it is definitely a tie (for me) between Alan SIlvestri and Tom Morello is terms of who gets the win in this department. If you want some mindless enjoyable fun, sit down, get some beer, and give this one a watch- it's a mostly decent action film that's funny as Hell and ridiculous to boot.

  A predictable, run-of-the-mill action thriller that might appeal more to those interested in action genre.
