The A-team movie. I loved this back in high school cause it was the coolest thing seeing an A-team movie finally. Watching it today though MAN I can see why critics were mixed on it. It just does not hold up. The actors were VERY miscast and maybe that’s not the actors fault, but how the characters were written. Liam Neeson and Sharlto Copley are my BIGGEST issues with this. I couldn’t stand Neeson’s take on Hannibal. I just could not recognize one of my favorite characters from the show with Neeson playing him. I saw a grumpy old man. Not Hannibal.
In the show Hannibal for the most part was a pretty happy go lucky kinda guy who always carried a smile. This Hannibal smiled maybe 2 times. And he talked in such a stern tone and it just bothered me.
Murdoch in this too was HORRIBLE!! Sharlto I understand was a fan of this show, but his portrayal was just so poor. Again this may have been because of how the movie was written, but I saw no Murdoch. He was never really that crazy in the movie at least not to me.
The action doesn’t hold up either. I mean some of it was cool, but the more I watched it the lamer it got. Also the ending where they’re on the shipping containers. That’s been done in so many other movies from that year. I swear it was in RED, The Losers and The Expendables. Could they have picked somewhere less original?
I’m honestly glad it never got a sequel because I’m sure I would’ve liked it even less.
