well, we have all seem it but her is the standard issue tralier to start


Well i went ans saw this and i knew i had to a review. i wont go into the back story as we all know it

In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team
Ok so this has been updated to the Iraq war.

The films starts with how the all meet which is nicely done without bogging the film down in exposition. How they do get screwed over and then how the go about exacting revenge While at the same time staying on step ahead of the military who are trying haul them back to prison

Being a kid of the 80s myself this had to deliver (same as what transformers had to)
and boy did it delivery! The film is great! its over the top crazy action, "specializing in the ridiculous" is the key phrase (we have all seem the bit where they jump from a plane in a tank), but it gets away with it because its the A Team man!!!

The film tips its hat to the TV show as well as adding its own flavour. Liam Neeson as Hannibal is just too awesome, the smoke from his cigar becomes part of him. Bradley Cooper is great as "Face", Sharlto "District 9" Copley is a great HM Murdock. Rampage Jackson does seems to struggle with BA (granted there are some big shoes to fill), there is a bit where he finds peace in prison and he refuses to kill (Boring!!) which doesnt help him and it would have been nice to see him kicking some more ass

There are some nice twists and turns in the film with an almost "oceans 11" sleight of hand. I did get a bit confused toward the end as the were enemies within enemies and i was like "well who's the bad guy(s) here?" (bit like Casino Royale), but by that time you are a 12yr again just enjoying the ride

The Film is excellent, the only downside is the end action scene does seem to be over shadowed but the airplane/tank escape sequence and its obvious its all there is a plan within the plan in the final show down and the original music isnt used WTF?!

All in all I loved this, go see it, leave you brain at the door and relive one of the best reboot franchises of the 80s
8.5 Skintoxications out of 10. Bluray: probably. DVD Definitely!!!

so you are a kid of the 80s huh?...fine you get to review The Karate Kid remake,LOL(FWIW-Mark Kermode on BBC news of all people enjoyed it)


pretty good review there Skin,i do want to see it

the trailer on the Xbox Live Dashboard has the music(i haven't checked if its the same one as you have posted)..and it has BA whistleing the tune as well when pretending to be a Skyscraper Window Cleaner

is Amy in the flick?..and that other guy that they brought in towards the end of the series but no one liked?


i do wanna see this,but there are so many films i wanna see its turning out to not be funny anymore

[SkinToxicated76]

its well worth seeing, but so far this year if you can only see one film then go and see Inception, if you see 2 the this is the sliver medal

amy isnt in it and i cant recall the other guy you mention.

i think Pogue told me about him a few months ago,i wasn't aware of him either,he seemed to come into it near to the end of the series run

Frankie "Dishpan" Santana (Eddie Velez), who served as the team's special effects expert. Eddie Velez was added to the opening credits of the fifth season after that season's second episode.

i mean we already had Amy as an unofficial 5th member....but this would be like changing the line up of The Beatles!!,LOL
