One of the best films i have seen

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

After watching Season One of TV's "A-Team" - I am now completely convinced that back in the early 1980s American masculinity was being seriously threatened, big-time.And, as a result of this assault on manliness - A testosterone-charged, macho-man TV series called "A-Team" was frantically created in order to "butch-up-the-nation" again.I mean - As silly as this may sound - That's the only thing that makes any sense to me as to why such a preposterous, male-dominated program as this one was produced (and, why, due to its vast popularity, it actually lasted for 5 solid seasons).

What can I say...as us kids used to say back in the 80's...."it was wicked"!!! ...Despite the so called friction off set..they created a magic between them that gave millions of kids so many great memories..God Bless them! Although,if they make a movie on cinema , Stephen J Cannell wants to seriously rethink about whether he wants the James Bond writer from the Brosnan years messing up his master piece....if somethings not broke (don't fix it)..stick to the original game plan And as much as I would rather see the original cast rekindle their roles.. here are some alternate suggestions: Jim Carrey as Murdoch,John Coffey (huge guy from the Green mile) as B.A....Brad Pitt as Face Man and my personal favourite character John Hannibal Smith played by Mel Gibson!!! (second choice Tommy Lee Jones)...Mr Cannell suggested the budget wouldn't be big enough for an all star cast....but I think he underestimates just how many people are going to be buying cinema tickets on that long awaited day!!

I remember the show when I was a kid. It was one of the best shows on at the time. Four people who were on the run from the military had enough brass to help people in need and wouldn't sell out to the highest bidder.My favorite character of the show was Hannibal Smith (George Peppard). He was the coolest. He always seemed he had a way out for any of the tough situations they ran across. And he always had the Jazz. And I don't think just the character of Hannibal had the Jazz, but I believe Peppard always had it and he brought it to the character of Hannibal.Also I think it would be great if they made a movie about the A-Team. I vote Bruce Willis or Peirce Bronsan as Hannibal, Ryan Reynolds as Face, Jim Carrey as Murdoch and last but not least Ice Cube as B.A.. But I also feel that the surviving cast members of the original A-Team should have at least cameos in the film and a little bit of homage paid to Peppard as well. So I say all systems go for the A-Team movie. So if the powers that be in Hollywood read this please make one. It be the coolest movie and besides I would pay to see it.

I absolutely agree with a previous comment that the internal chemistry between the characters AND their great interactions made this show great fun to watch. It was a "cartoonish satire" with real people lots of bullets that did not take it self too seriously until mid third season or so. I was a big fan. Rumblings on several recent boards talk (again) of a movie. They are a laugh as they all about guessing the choices to play the roles from the Rock as T (noone could replace T (he was an original entity) to Mel Gibson or George Clooney as Hannibal and Jim Carrey or Will Farrell as Murdoch or Brad Pitt as Face. (These people don't seem to get it that it was not only the characters and their interpretations but the period in which A-Team ran that made it work. The Lennon shooting the attempt on Reagan -- viewers enjoyed and accepted the absurdity of the show because of the time and sensibility of what was going on around them.) That rant being being made it might be nice to bring the gang back except for the death of George Peppard. Supposedly Stephen Cannell is again screening scripts. One rumor has it, that the original cast will play some role. Sounds like when they tried to do a show about show remaking a show of Bewitched (directed by the super Nora Ephron) and it was absolute garbage. If GP was around I might be interested (altho somehow I suspect GP would not touch it.) I don't wish to watch Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, K. Reeves, Jim Carry, Steve Buscemi or any of the other choices, spoil the the great work Dirk Benedict Dwight Schultz and the rest did with the characters. I also feel, the forgotten character of Amy Allen (by the far the best of the three sidekicks dropped in during the run) had the greatest potential. This potential but was given short shrift by the writers. There are many web sites of interviews with Melinda Culea explaining that she did everything to get the the writers to give here more to do than be a face with no part. Mr Cannell even admitted in one interview they were not clear on her role. In pilot Melinda Culea played feisty, a fighter, wanting to get involved in everything including fights. She was a super counterpoint to the all boys gang from keeping them from fighting to providing background checks and other help the thru the paper etc. I disagree with the comment Melinda was eye candy. Or, perhaps, the straitjacket that the writers put her in as the show went on made her seem that way. However as one poster notes, today it would be different. Someone like a Joss Whedon would know how how use her talent. (Just watch her in her 3 episodes of Family Ties 1984 and the strength of her comedic sense partnered against Michael J. Fox is hilarious. Loved the scene with the cockroaches where she was given the main job of sewing listening buttons on cops jackets. The comeback to Face was "sewing buttons -- how wonderfully sexist". It was subtle but funny. However, this kind of thing was never developed. Two of my favorite early episodes The Rabbit who ate Los Vegas and Jamestown where the show has one of it really serious tones. Hanibals makes a dark "acceptance of death to keep the edge" speech showed and Melinda clearly showed she had the ability to handle the scene. I wish they had kept her on as the role could given the stories wider range. Any way. I have little interest in seeing Bruce Willis, Rock, Cloony or anyone else muck this up by trying recreate it esp. given the train wreck of rail cars that have come of TV to big film conversions. The reruns are fine up to the entrance of Robert Vaughn (who essentially did what Decker and Lynch never could do ) which was bring the A team down. It was great for its time and its fun to drift back to that period and smile. I recently read a web interview with Cannell stating the movie "IF" it came would not be much like the original. There would be far more "realistic" action, real shooting and more fast paced without the humor that the show ever had. Sounds like a different program from the one I knew. While I might agree with his idea it would not be the A TEAM as it was. More like a Mission Impossible or Oceans 2X whatever number they are up to now. No thanksPity the fool who plays with this. Leave it alone sucker.... And if HM could not take Billy or THerm he might never agree to do a reprise. Tim S. Ottawa
