Nice effects though.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Ogosmith
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Funny , entertainment , comedy and noisy action with the nostalgic team . Entertaining series created by Stephen J Cannell and Frank Lupo and John Ashley , with an appropriate cast and spectacular special effects plenty of shootouts and crashes with cars and trucks and bounds and leaps . This mythical series of¨A Team¨ , starts developing the meeting between Annibal Smith , and his pals . Four Vietnam vets, accused for a crime they didn't commit, help the innocent while on the run from the military. As as soldiers were ordered to steal the Bank of Hanoi. However, the man who ordered them was killed and no one else can verify their story. They would be attempted and found guilty but after that they escape from the facility where they were being held and went underground in Los Angeles. While on the lam, they became heroes for hire, working as good-guy vigilantes around the US or the world . Annibal (the early deceased George Peppard) and his team were wrongly framed for stealing and subsequently escaping .Hannibal Smith was their chief and an expert at disguises . Templeton Faceman (Dirk Benedict) was the team's con artist and lady's man . M.A. Baracus (Mr T) with extreme panic to flight , he was their mechanic , but also took care of mayhem and intimidation . The final member of the Team , "Howling Mad" Murdock Dwight Schulz), was an expert but nutty pilot, and a certified lunatic , but they broke him out of a mental hospital whenever they needed him for dangerous missions . They escaped and went on the run, pursued by Col. Decker (Lance LeGault) and Captain Crane (Carl Franklin)
This entertaining story is concentrated on known characters as well as thrill-packed action and special effects although there're numerous of that too . The movie has unstopped ,tension, comedy , emotion, suspense and sensational scenarios like is customary development of the franchise . Spectacular , exciting , fast-paced , thrilling this is the description of this nostalgic series : ¨A Team¨ , a splendid saga through a perfect pulse narrative that does not give a second of rest to the spectator who is trapped in a genuine visual spectacle . Humor , thrills , several agreeable characters and trademark effects abound and will please the series enthusiasts such as the neophyte . Along with a great number of guest stars as : William Lucking , Robert Vaughn , Eddie Velez , Morgan Woodward , Michael Lerner , Alex Rocco , Hulk Hogan , Beau Starr , dana Elcar , Ernie Hudson , and many others .
The agreeable acting convinces , especially the leader George Peppard , along with the sympathetic as well as womanizer Dirk Benedict , the nutty Dwight Schultz and the hunk Mr. T , while other players also make a nice work as Melinda Culea . The moving series amazing the spectator , in which the stirring and spectacular scenes create a perfect union that terminates with an ending that leaves you stuck in the armchair facing the formidable spectacle as a privileged witness . Thrilling soundtrack by Mike Post with the classic leitmotif , he composes an impressive musical accompaniment to the film .
Suitable for family viewing , it's an entertaining adventure which young and old men will enjoy . Fans of the series will find very bemusing and fun . It is amusing to watch and aficionados are sure to love it , resulting to be one of the popular TV series of the eighties .There is an amusing return to the classic series created and produced by Stephen J Cannell and by Ridley Scott , directed by Joe Carnahan with Liam Neeson ,Bradley Cooper , Quinto Rampage jackson , Sharlto Copley . It is an excellent homage to the entertaining episodes with a complex intrigue but following the canon and overemphasis on usual characterization and special effects . It deals with our team, at the end of their stint in Irak Col. John "Hannibal" Smith and after making a mission and returning to the base their commanding General -Gerald McRaney- is murdered in a blow up and the plates are robbed and they are condemned to an US and Germany military prison . And of course , special appearance in brief cameos from Dwight Schulz and Dirk Benedict , though doesn't appear Mr. T. It is the rebirth of the series, an enjoyable homage , the start of a new scenario . Fans of the series may find much to love , but others will be bewildered by excessive and breathtaking situations .

The A team is a so so action show from the brain child of Steven j cannellwho made other series Air-wolf,22 jump street , ice spiders . it is about 4 Vietnam war veterans as mercenary's for hire who go on the run for a crime they didn't commit . I recommend it if u enjoy action shows like this from the 80s but just don't expect anything new the action scenes are innovative at times but repetitive when they want to be e,g a stunt where a car flips over after having its tires blown off or a car or helicopter explodes and the people walk out unscathed . As for the performances are average Dwight Schultz steals the show as howling mad Murdoch . while the rest are OK just not special for me to recommend although Rip George was the definitive Hannibal smith and a true action star.

I was introduced to The A-Team on Christmas, and ever since then, I've been hooked. I watched all five seasons to get ready for the upcoming movie. Hannibal, B.A., Face, and Murdock are ex Special Forces and were sent to prison for a crime they didn't commit. 10 years after they break out, they are hired by people who seek their help. Hannibal is the leader of the group. Face is the charm and cons people to get what he wants. B.A. is the muscle, and Murdock is the crazy out-of-control pilot who helps fly the plane. (Murdock is my absolute favorite character) If you have a problem. If no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire THE A-TEAM!!!

I remember seeing The A-Team, come onto the small screen back in early 83'. I especially remember the white haired man, who didn't even seem like an old-guy to a young kid of 14. George Peppard was in a helicopter, just about to jump out and I can see that scene frozen in my mind's eye after two and a half decades.I caught the commercial for it on NBC and was immediately amazed by the different style of series that it was, I really couldn't describe why I liked it in all ways ...I simply did. My uncle laughed that the show (The A-Team) was that one where they shot off thousands of rounds of ammunition and no one ever got hit or died. My uncle was a 'Fed' and a sharp-shooter who would face off in competition. I didn't mind that about the show so much, yeah no one died. I got familiar with who Mr. T was from this as I had seen him once on 'Silver Spoons' as Ricky Schroeder's body guard.I followed the show on the network and onto the cable stations that would carry it later. Then as I was living in Los Angeles in 2003, I was sitting in an older cigar shop that is very famous with the locals and local Celeb's, and I see a blue Porshe 911 pull up out side and who should come into the store but "Faceman" Dirk Benedict!!! I was pretty happy about that. As I was sitting there in a big leather chair, in the sitting area, Dirk came up and said something to an acquaintance of his there, then, sat down and smoked a premium cigar. He talked to some people, then with me about everyday stuff, politics and then I asked about his work and the days of The A Team and he said that they (He and Peppard) used to sit in between the shooting 'break' and smoke cigars and get in trouble sometimes with the studio, probably rowdy behavior. All in all, this was a great time to be sitting puffing on great cigars exchanging smoke and listening as well as shooting the breeze with good Ole Dirk B. I had also heard that when the beginning of shooting started for the production of the A-Team DeWight Shultz arrived and went to meet his co-stars. On the lot he went to be introduced to Peppard and George replied after meeting Dewight, "Hi my name is George Peppard...and I am not a nice man." That might knock you on your tail if you had a confidence problem. At any rate I have enjoyed the show and still do on DVD.This was a show that on the departure of the network running it after cancellation. Peppard quipped that "It was like being on a thundering runaway freight train. I was happy to see it end. I needed some rest." This is just one of those 'things' that makes the eighties a great time to be alive. Good stuff, all wrapped up. (****)
