And I loved (almost) every minute of it! The bits I didn't like? That stupid scene in Lynch's office, as misogynistic as all get out and also? Totally lame. I loved Sharlto Copley. He stole every scene he was in, and his interactions with Rampage Jackson were the highlight of the movie for me. No wonder those two became fast friends in real life! Also, did anyone else notice that the bad-guy assassin squad (Black Forest) was named after a CAKE? Ooh, I'd be shaking in my boots! Loved, LOVED this movie! It's one of the better buddy movies I've watched in recent memory. OK, I’m only responding now because the movie was only released in South Africa three days ago.

I'll give it a try at some point, especially because you liked it so much. I saw The Losers and liked that but I was never in a rush to see the A-Team.

I've seen a fair amount of negative reviews for this movie. Those reviewers pretty much don't get it. This movie captured the spirit of the original show to a T (no pun intended). Sadly, the original show is often maligned or laughed off. I got very verbose about it in my review of the movie: http://bit.ly/duxHyg Overkill is underrated. That's a perfect line. Great review.

Overkill is underrated. That’s a perfect line.

However, I grew up with the TV series so I'll definitely check it out at some point. After seeing the tank flying through the air in the trailer, I have to admit I'm preparing for the worst. It better be wall-to-wall fun to pull off a stunt like that. I haven’t seen it, yet. However, I grew up with the TV series so I’ll definitely check it out at some point.

I can see @Rick Swift has already noted that you can stream the entire original series to you computer via NetFlix which is what I started doing after I got home. They kept the characters true to the original characters which was wonderful. Hillarious fun & ACTION from this movie. I think this one is definately a future purchase. Yeah, that domnino effect on the cargo ship was spectacular! I also caught some of the original series when I was young.

Dirk Benedict as was smooth as Face. Mr. T was Bad Ass as B.A. Baracus, Dwight Schultz was funny as Howling Mad Murdock and then there was Hannibal bringing all the plans together played by George Peppard....who I actually got to see get his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Even got to lift one side of Mr. T's van up for a picture at Universal Studios. Love the original alot.....and I loved the movie. Sharlto Copley stole every scene he was in as Murdock!

My only real beef with the film was how the CIA, yet again, were the bad guys. If I ever get off my ass and get that script going, the CIA are going to look like Snow White! Uhm, that and making my favorite bad ass growing up a pacifist. NO NO NO! Yea, it made for some interesting moments on screen, but dear, there are some things you just don't fuck with. Making BA a pansy, even for a short time, was not cool. Still, this was the second most fun I have had at a theater this year, Kick Ass being numero uno. http://bit.ly/bI4sNM Hey Kat, you can Netflix the whole first season of the A-Team right now on insta-play.
