(2010) A- Team
ACTION/ ADVENTURE/ COMEDY
When I first heard of this, I was hoping for this film to get an "R" rating because I love action films and whenever I would see a PG 13 on an action film, one would assume that it wouldn't have much action in it! But at the same time already acknowledged that I've enjoyed other PG 13 action films in the past such as "Terminator: Salvation" and "Live Free and Die Hard" and most of the Indy and Bond films! But when I read Mr T expressing his disliking to this film- I thought that it might be worth a shot and was pleasantly surprised how entertaining the film was after leaving the theater. The fact that Mr T dismissing this film as being too violent and racy is no excuse for dismissing the notion about how faithful this film was to the original TV series such as BA being afraid of flying, Hannibal being the leader, Murdock the flier, the Face as the charmer and of course BA Barackus as being the toughie and they all work together well as a group. My point is that it's nice to see a film in which the viewers already know who the good guys are as opposed to other films which some people could be good and some could be bad like the "Mission Impossible" series and "Wanted" in which you think you know whats what, which turned out to be wrong in which I get tired of films jerking with it's audience. Everybody whose familiar with the A-Team would know that this ensemble cast all trust each other and the audience can relate to that to the end which consists of no backstabbing and I have to say is nice to see for a change! Another thing this film does well is that although their is much CGI, it is only applied to the scenes that is most necessary and impossible to do, such as the tank on a parachute scene(quite expensively impossible to do in real life) etc... There is also a a little realism mixed along with this CGI such as walking down a building- some of it is CGI, some of it is not, just like the first "Matrix" film! This film is no masterpiece by any means, but can easily be labelled as guilty pleasure in the truest sense.
