I didn't see this in the theater. The trailer alone showed me that this was going to be an insult to the memory of one of the great '80s TV shows (not to mention a great actor like George Peppard). I sure as heck am not seeing it now.

Count me in with spiderhero. People who don't like this movie apparently don't get this movie. I'm a huge fan of the original show and can understand trepidation about not wanting something to come along that disrespects the original, but I feel like this did it proud. I wish it had done better. I'd very much love a sequel.
This movie was one of two movies that got me out of the house this summer. IT WAS AWESOME!!!! Got it for christmas, and have watched it twice in the last week!!!!
Sorry Tim, your review is waaaaaay off with this one. Go watch some old A-Team on Hulu... You'll see this movie was a perfect adaption
I have to strongly disagree, with this review, this was a great popcorn flick that was not meant to be taken seriously at all, and anyone who thought it should be was bound for disappointment. I felt this was actually one of the more enjoyable movies of 2010. The cast was great and did a fine job in honoring the original show. I went into it not expecting to like it and walked out Loving it. In fact im not sure Ive talked to anyone who has seen it and didnt like it. I would give The A'Team a strong B
It's too easy to make an opinion of a film appear as a bad review. I'm sure the reason why people like Chris Nolan and David Fincher aren't making these movies is because they can only be a certain level of film. And for the level of film this particular movie lies in it was perfect. It was very funny, fast paced with good though predictable action and very enjoyable characters played by very talented actors. Some of the points you list such as the chance meeting in the dessert and opening escape scene being silly and unlikely..........well.............name a film where that doesn't happen.......seriously, isn't that what most films are? A moment in time where things seem to all go a certain way resulting in.......one hell of a story! Hard to believe, but it really did happen!!! that kind of stuff, why act surprised? If you don't like the film it's fine to say so and even better if you have reasons but don't try to pass it off as being flaws in a film. It made lots of money and has lots of fans, it would be ignorant and irrational to say that it was as unsuccessfull as your review implies.
Well, I tried reposting my original comments 4 times, since that doesn't seem to be working, I'll just simplify my original comments and dumb them down as well. Tim, sorry, but I gotta disagree. This film was just plain absurd fun. Murdock and BA were awesome together. It's not Citizen Kane but it wasn't supposed to be either.
Oh, and FU Mania! This disappearing posts business is ridiculous!
I saw this at the movies and liked it. Bought it on Blu Ray and now I like it even more. I'm not a big fan of over the top movies, like some of the action scenes in The A-Team (the tank scene for example) but everything in this movie just works for me. Reason is I love the chemistry between the four guys. They are always having a blast and that's what makes me overlook some of the things Janson pointed out.
I'm hoping we get a sequel and that Jon Hamm is the bad guy.
Alpha, Mike, Foxtrot! Think about it.
Wish...Yes it would be ignorant to say the film was unsuccessful...that's why I didn't say it. I didn't like the film but neither did I hate it, hence a "C" rating. It was one of the more poorly directed films I've seen in 2010. If you choose to over look that fact, that's your choice. And just because a film makes a lot of money doesn't necessarily make it a good film, just as a film that does poorly at the boxoffice means its a bad film.
actually this film did not make a lot of money and was mostly reviewed as bad. which is strange because it seems to be one of the only big screen adaptations of a classic tv series that got it right. no it wasnt exactly the same as the series but it was very true to the sprit of it. i;m glad to see there others out there who loved this. even if you didnt like the adaptation or the kind of movie the one thing you cant actually say is that it wasnt well made. and if that scene with the tank wasnt tight roping i dont know what is. i was surprised at how well this film managed to be true to the spriit of the series and bring some real depth even while playing some of the depth as cheesy and tongue in cheek. the only thing that would have made this better would be to have the original actors. but thats not really the point of this thing is it? besides they might all be a little old. and its not like anybody ever really had a chance up against dwight schultz as murdock anyway.
I have to disdagree with this review. Was the movie absurd? Yes. But so was the TV show. The show & movie are fun, plain & simple. Over the top, ridiculous. I loved every minute of it. My wife did also & she rarely goes t movies & usually hates anything even remotely dumb. I will be buying this when I get a chance.
