#34. A-Team (Part 2 of the Lame-Plane Trip) - Review

B.A. Baracus in The A-Team 2010

Of all the movies I watched on the way to South Korea, somehow A-Teammanaged to be the best. And I say that not really liking the film. This is the Las Vegas stripper of movies. It is pretty, everything looks big and fake, and you can tell it cost a lot of money to make. It is fun, at least in small doses (again, like a stripper). The action set-pieces are top notch and exciting, and there are enough to keep you awake when the director was dead set on letting his characters speak. The tv show this movie is spawn from worked because it had three funny dudes running around and blowing stuff up with Mr. T. Lets just say it right here, "Rampage" Jackson is NOT Mr. T! He makes Mr. T look like Sidney Poitier. In fact, the only actor I did like was Liam Neeson as Hannibal Smith. Bradley Cooper was fine, but Neeson was the only guy that could carry a character like Smith with both 1980's cheese and naturalistic bravado. He is fun to watch, even when he is just grunting and gnawing on a cigar.

The A-Team (2010) CastWatch it, why not? Of the blockbuster type movies this is a better one I guess, especially compared to something like Transformers and the like. Let me know what you guys thought, I am sure most people liked it more than I did.

I actually thought the A-Team was a worst movie then you did. I thought the action was dull and the acting was horrible, so there was no redeeming features in my opinion, but that was me.

So it sounds like I should just read one of the 3 books I have with me when I leave Orlando on Thursday for the 5hr flight back to Seattle? The A Team was the only movie in the list that seemed like it might be worth paying for...although Alaska Airlines is charging the hefty fee of $12 so I think I'll pass.
