The A-Team Movie Reviews

I remember The A-Team as this cool TV show where the main characters built cool gadgets, argued with each other and then fought off the bad guys. My memories of that and other shows like it are also memories of weird VHS colours, disjointed episode structures and impromptu ends (because the tape ran out). I suppose a lot of us watched these shows like this. Some relative returning from the US or the 'Gulf' had taped a few episodes

Former special forces soldiers ‘A Team’ last seen on television some 20 years ago have been reinvented for the big screen. Unlike the series, the characters have no opportunity to grow in the movie. The narrative appears implausible despite its topicality of being transported in time from Vietnam to Iraq. There is nothing new happening here. The quartet is commissioned covertly by the CIA

It may be true, as The A-Team’s Col. John ‘Hannibal’ Smith insists, that “overkill is underrated”, but you wouldn’t know it from this film.

I pity the fool, as TV star Mr. T might say, who mistakes this

From TV to the big screen, The A Team hasn't made really made quite a transcendence. The film picks up the series from where it was last left and then takes us through an action packed tale of betrayal, conspiracy and a bid to clear a soiled reputation.
