I must say that it was quite good. I was worried that, as a fan of the original TV-series when I was a kid, I would be disappointed but it had actually captured the spirit of the series quite well. It was fun to watch, with a nice blend of comedy and action. Okay, the famous tank scene was perhaps a bit over the top but, what the hell, it’s supposed to be an action film with a touch of comedy so...Naturally the so-called "critics" wrote it down, for instance on Rotten Tomatoes, but if you switch to the tab which shows what the actual audience said, it got a greater than 70% approval rating. IMDB also gives it a bit more than 7 stars out of 10 which I would say it’s well worth.

I never watched the original TV series, beyond a vague awareness of Mr. T I knew literally nothing about it. Which meant that I couldn't feel like this reboot was letting me down, but I also was in no way ingratiated with the franchise. Seemed like the positives and negatives of going in blind like that sort of cancelled each other out, and that's pretty much the attitude I've got to the movie itself. There was cool stuff, there was some lame stuff, and all in all they levelled themselves out for a pretty average movie-watching experience. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

The A-Team (2010) felt like a chaotic attempt to modernize the classic show, but it never really stuck the landing. The directing leans hard into the over-the-top action vibe, but instead of giving us slick sequences, it delivers a messy blur of noise and explosions. The pacing is all over the place, and it’s clear they were trying to make it cool and energetic, but it just ends up feeling loud and confusing. There’s no real rhythm to the way scenes unfold, and some of the more intense moments lose their impact because they’re drowned in shaky visuals. Speaking of visuals, the cinematography was frustrating at best. Way too much shaky cam, weird half-face angles, and quick cuts that make it hard to enjoy any of the action. It felt like the camera was constantly moving just for the sake of movement, not to actually enhance the scene. That kind of editing usually screams, “we didn’t have great footage to work with,” and unfortunately, it shows. I found myself trying to follow what was happening rather than getting pulled into the story. It’s one of those movies that mistakes chaos for excitement. The cast is actually solid, with Liam Neeson bringing his usual presence and Bradley Cooper doing his thing, but the script gives them very little to work with. The dialogue feels forced, and the characters never really breathe or evolve. It’s like the movie assumed the audience already loved these guys, so it skipped over giving them depth. The score tries to hype things up, and while I did get a flash of Indiana Jones vibes early on, I realized it was just a modern remix of the original A-Team theme. Nostalgic, sure, but it didn’t save the mess. Overall, it's got energy, but not much substance.
