If you squint and rub vaseline on your eyes, then cover your ears, from a distance you'd swear it could be his cousin. |

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, UFC Light Heavyweight and former Pride FC LHW contender. I am very disappointed Mr. T didn't reprise his role ... |

That wasn't Mr. T, but holy ****, that was Liam Neeson. I'm very intrigued. Why didn't I know about this sooner? Dalantia, you have failed me! |

While noting that Mr. T is the youngest of the original A-Team, he is 57 and getting a little long in the tooth to play B.A. as a recent Iraq war vet, as the scripters are ret-conning the story line. George Peppard is gone, Dwight Schultz and Dirk Benedict are in their 60s, the original team is basically not available for a remake. Liam Neeson and Mr. T. are the same age, true. However, Hannibal was the grizzled older officer. B.A. was a lot younger. Really looking forward to seeing how much ammunition they can expend without killing a whole bunch of people. |

Saw it today. It scratched the right itches. If you didn't like suspending your disbelief for crazy plans, gratuitous explosions, and excessive gunfire and squibs in the 80's, you need not apply. Liam Neeson did a good job, the casting was inspired. A little less smug and having fun than George Peppard brought to the character, but a good interpretation. Bradley Cooper's Templeton Peck, I think, made for the most seamless transition from old to new. He had a great Face look and the right attitude. I feel bad for anybody trying to follow Dwight Shultz in the role of Howling Mad Murdock. That said, a fair job. Lacked a bit of the nutty charm, but still pretty darned crazy. I didn't really feel the new B.A. Not a deal-breaker, but he's no Mr. T. The plot was good. Not "good" as in "it will stand up to close scrutiny," but good as in it kept the movie moving and provided the right space for the characters to play in, and also set up the tone we're familiar with from the series, even though the first half of the movie involved the origin of the team (I'm so-so on how the B.A. gets introduced to the team -- it's by far the biggest suspension of disbelief at the circumstances) and the operation in which they are betrayed and set up, which was handled beautifully. Stay past the credits for Dwight Schultz and Dirk Benedict's cameos. |

I saw it Friday night. I was not at all impressed. It lacked a lot from the initial series and just fell flat for me. I was sleeping at times through it. Enough of the remakes at this point I guess. I think I need to start watching more original content nowadays. |

I saw this tonight, I actually thought it was one of the best movies out this summer. It wasn't perfect story-wise, plenty of holes and what not. That aside, it was a blast of a movie, and lots of humor. |

I think anyone whose biggest criticism with the "A-Team" is "plot" probably needs to go back and watch a few of the originals first. I am curious to see this movie, but it's probably going to be a rental. |

I saw this on Sunday..I liked it! It was funny. I have never seen the TV show, so I didn't have any expectations. But it definately was a movie I enjoyed seeing in the theater and not relegated to a netflix list. |

It felt like a 2-hour episode. I had a blast. But, damn! Dirk Benedict got old! (Time to set down my childhood crush...) |
