The A-Team (2010)
7/10
Surprisingly very good fun remake of old favourite 80's action TV show
8 August 2010
Like many, I went into this film fearing the worst. Time to leave the brain at the door and just try to enjoy what I'd just paid to watch. Like many others, when a young boy during the '80s, watching the A-Team was a must and a great bit of entertainment. Humorous and off-beat it never took itself seriously and so was easy to watch. As for the move over to this big re-make, I was to be pleasantly surprised. It was very good fun.

This film doesn't break the gist of the original show. We still have the four lead characters with their humour and mannerisms. However, unlike the TV show, the producers have allowed the jump to the screen to make the script more adult-orientated. Thanks for that as well. They now are able to swear, shoot people and be crazier than ever.

The story is surprisingly fine and interesting, but the action is non-stop as that's what the viewer would want for a film like this. The humour is also great and you love the banter between the characters as much as was on the show. The actors slip well into the shoes of their characters and you seem to see them as always having done so. All four did a fine job.

Surprisingly very enjoyable. Obviously, no major award winners here, but you will have a fun night out watching this movie....
