The A Team aka (...That Was Great!! Cant Wait For The Manimal Remake!!!)
OK,so I'm ridiculously negative towards all of these remakes that are just continuously coming out of Hollywood nowadays (seriously the fact that they are remaking "Red Dawn"...a Cold War relic is just asinine)....anyways,the remakes that I'm against are remakes of all of these 80's films...classics or not....and just regurgitating the same look and style that was done in the one good remake that they did (ahem I'm looking at you Platinum Dunes!!) with every single film your doing....that's just tiresome...and its old....but when you take something that was a cheesy (Hey I LOVED the A Team,but it wasn't really a "Good" show...well from the view of an adult...as a 12 year old it kicked ass),but fun show from the 80's,and making it into something bigger and better,while maintaining the fun of the original...well slap my crazy ass Aunt Sally...mission fucking accomplished!! This film is GREAT!!
Look,I'm not going all into the story....if you have ever heard of "The A Team" you know the gist of it. And the film follows this premise beautifully.It starts with Liam "Action Jackson" Neeson forming the A Team with Face aka Bradley "Thank God For The Hangover" Cooper, B.A. aka Quinton " What The Hells So Great About MMA? Everytime I See It Its Just Some Dudes Rolling On The Ground" Jackson (Who definitely is fun doing the Mr. T thing...nice job!!),and Murdock aka the dude from "District 9"...no not the alien...anyways it starts there,and follows through with them being framed and then trying to get revenge and clear their name.
This film has the typical action scenes and stuff, but Joe "Dude,Smoking Aces Wasnt Too Hot...But Damn What The Hell Did You Do To Piven?" Carnahan,knows that the action is ridiculous,and has fun with it...and its not cheesy action....this reminded me of the type of action comedy's that used to come out in the 80's and early 90's. Its loud,funny (The CIA agents led by Patrick "The Owl Dude From Watchmen" Wilson are hilarious as a bunch of agents who might as well be frat guys...good stuff).
I cannot say it enough,this is the perfect summer type film,its just a good time.Don't go in expecting anything overly dramatic,just go in and expect some outstanding brain candy!! My only hope is that this film does well enough to have a sequel!!
