the movie is fabulous tremendous acción scenes I recommend it

This movie was just fun! I enjoyed the heck out of it. I am a die-hard fan of the series, but I loved the fact that they got this thing right by not trying to imitate the series exactly and yet keeping the characters accurate. I particularly liked that they got the relationships between the four main characters spot on. I do have to say, my absolute favorite scene was Murdock attempting to jumpstart the ambulance....that scene is worth the five stars all by itself! Still laughing!!!!!!!

I don't like these movie remakes based on old tv shows but I had lots of laughs with this A-Team movie. It was outlandish, unrealistic and ridiculous and I enjoyed every minute of it. I always thought the original A-Team TV show was unrealistic and ludicrous in a cartoonish style. I probably enjoyed it for that reason and I enjoyed the movie for similar reasons.

I'm fan of the 80s TV show and to me the movie didn't let me down. Kept the original story and gave a modern spin. Action and jokes were great. The director's cut offers so much more! I love it when a plan comes together!

We have watched all the A-Team episodes in an attempt to introduce our kids to what TV was like when we were growing up (unrealistic and over-the-top??) and they loved the show. We considered an episode to be truly stellar if the A-Team: built a tank, flew a plane or helipcopter, any vehicles were launched into the air, and something was blown up, but we would settle for three out of four of those. Also, points were given for Mr. T throwing someone and bonus points if one of the characters did it, although it would usually take two of them to do the same thing. And really, almost all the episodes are the same: bully picks on weaker person(s), weaker person(s) try to fight back and lose, the underdog contacts the A-Team, the A-Team verifies they aren't the military and then helps them overcome the bully while also evading the military police. So now what, I mean, how long can they stay on the run?? I wasn't sure how the movie was going to live up to my childhood TV series, complete with cheesy lines, expectations, but it turns out to be the Prequel to the TV series and as such, it actually answers a few questions, including where and how some of those cheesy lines got their start. I also wasn't expecting any deep character development or for anyone to look or sound just like the original characters, but the casting was pretty spot on, with perhaps the exception of Mr. T, but come on, it is difficult to replace the original, and in the end, I liked him after all. Liam Neeson is probably nicer than George Peppard ever was and he definitely comes off as older and wiser in the film and Face is actually smarter in this movie (he can truly be rather dumb at times in the TV shows if there's a woman around). And my biggest concern was over who was going to play "Howling Mad" Murdoch, because he's the favorite and the casting for Murdoch was probably the best of them all. For our family of four (includes two teenagers), we liked this movie for just the pure entertainment value and not trying to make any sort of reality out of it. Favorite scene: flying the tank Favorite stunt: the wall gliding. So it earns our respect for a tongue-in-cheek action film that stayed rather true to the TV series. Great rental and here's wishing everyone would do this well on a movie remake.
