One of my all time favorites.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The cult 80's TV show has been reinvented and brought to the big screen. If you remember the 80's show with fondness then you are going to be mixed about this, you'll either dislike it, or you'll hate it - looking at the other reviews on here that give it 9 or 10 out of 10 - I can't help wonder if they watched the same rubbish as I did. I want my review to be based on the film, rather than a comparison to the TV show which I loved and grew up with. Set up as fall-guys for a crime 4 army rangers are court-marshaled and sentenced to do time in 4 separate institutions. The leader of the 4, Hannibal Smith (Liam Neeson) escapes and plots a plan of revenge, for which he requires his 3 ex-colleagues - Face (Bradley Cooper), Murdock (Sharlto Copley) and B.A. Baracus (Quinton Jackson). Pursued by the military and various other law enforcement agencies they attempt to clear their name. The plot is relatively weak with very few surprises; I'm not saying it was easy to understand, no. In fact whoever wrote this seemed adamant that they wanted to add a few twists in to make it cool - but it just convoluted things. I feel it was aimed at younger audiences rather than the fan base who would have watched the TV series. Maybe this younger audience turn up for pointless plot twists, things being blown up for fun and a script that tries to make everyone a comedian with one-liners that hit the mark every time - oh yeah, FTR, they probably appreciate the overuse of a shaking camera too which for me, just got annoying quickly. There are a lot of action sequences involved, but it's either predictable or totally unscientifically possible bonkers. While the acting is relatively average, none of the stars in this film are going to win any awards for performances. The 4 stars aside there were some players and parts in the film that seemed pointless, Jessica Biel's character would fall into that bracket. The film takes itself far too serious - and maybe this is why the TV series was successful in the 80's - while it may have been moronic at times and really camp, everyone knew that was the case. This film gives the impression that it's Billy-big-balls and wants to shout about it from the rooftops. Maybe this is aimed at a generation of people I don't understand, maybe this was just a poor attempt at making something cool, maybe this is a classic that I don't appreciate or understand - whatever it is, I'm only giving this 3 stars at most.

Phew! It was exhausting just getting through the opening titles. Poor Liam, did he know what he was signing up for?

I love every major actor in this film. But the miscasting is legendary. Liam Neeson is so badly miscast that you can see him trying to play the part of Hannibal right from the start and doing so in unconvincing fashion. He doesn't fit the part. And Face... sorry, great actor but he's not the ladies man. You know there is going to be a problem when the strongest member of the group is the non-actor - BA. And he's not great. Murdoch... just a total lamer. The miscasting is evident without seeing the prior history this story has seen. As a remake that didn't need to be remade, it's a disgrace. The IMDb rating is badly overblown and most generously above 6. If you go to other sites you'll see a far lower rating and for good reason. This is unfortunately a poor B movie. Watch at your own risk.The opening of the film wastes time on a mediocre back story. And then it's padded run time with the team envisioning success needlessly. All the famous lines are used to recreate the characters but so poorly that all you can think is "it's -insert name actor here- artificially uttering the lines made famous in trademark style." The team goes into Baghdad and let the ridiculous bravado begin. Don't say you weren't warned.

The A team is a must watch movie when I first time watched it on my phone it was just awesome that I watched it 1 more time on that day (I.e 2 times in day) and I will also say that the movie is bit underrated it should be 7.2/10 on IMDb at least!!!!I suggest that do not watch the critics just watch the movie its awesome. The acting was great, the direction was great the action sequences like tank falling from the plane is a mindless sequences but good for those who will watch it as a entertainment.Overall the movie was very good and superb I watched it 10 times and I still like it.
