Name:
A-Team Movie- Starring:
Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, Sharlto Copley, Jessica Biel & Patrick Wilson.
I just got back from taking my 2 kids to see the A-Team movie. My 11 year old son was the main reason for our movie outing as he was “dying” to see the A-Team. I thought it was quite odd, since he refuses to sit down and watch any of the old episodes with me.
At the theater, situated between my son and 13 year old daughter, I was preparing myself for another long and boring movie – kinda like the remake of Clash of the Titans (yeah, that movie sucked all around). Little did I know that aside from me waxing nostalgia for a TV show that I really didn’t care too much about but still found myself watching back in the 80′s, is that my biggest surprise was this action movie totally harkens back to the days of Die Hard.
I know it’s still early in the summer movie marathon and Inception is about 4 weeks aways but I will go out on a limb here and proclaim that the A-Team movie will be one of the action movie gems of this summer and probably for years to come.
I won’t go on and on about how over exaggerated the whole concept was, what I will share with you is that you have probably (or definitely) seen this movie before a couple of dozen times. The biggest difference with the A-Team (aside from the great casting) is that it goes where most other films have frequently tread and, lucky for us, it doesn’t stop there because it keeps pushing on and goes so much further. It’s violent without the blood. There’s lots of explosions (a very high BSU quotient!) and know one really dies, at least you don’t see a lot of dead bodies. This movie even goes “3D” with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
Will this movie change your life? No, probably not but it will allow you to forget about it for about 2 hours and change. So far, it’s the best popcorn movie of the 2010 Summer season. I hope it does well enough to warrant a sequel or two because I really enjoyed the characters and their crazy plans. Actually, I love it MORE when a good movie comes together and goes beyond your expectations and that’s what the A-Team does very well.
