marcicat | Movie Review: The A-Team (2010 version)

1. This movie was 8000 times better than I thought it would be (give or take). It arrived from Netflix and I was all, “Well, I guess this is better than the special features disc from Glee. Maybe.” But wow, yeah, it totally was.

2. In the dvd previews, there’s a preview *for* The A-Team movie. I was… confused. Was I watching the movie? Had it started without me noticing? Did I have the wrong dvd? No, apparently.

3. They were all grown-ups! I was shocked, actually, but in a good way. All four of the A-Team characters were over 30 (even in 2009 when filming started, though Quinton Jackson — who played Bosco — was cutting it close). I thought it made the movie better.

4. I didn’t hate Jessica Biel! (Even though she was born in 1982, and so did not make the 30 year-old cut.) I was actually pretty impressed, and totally rooting for her. I did feel bad that she was essentially the only woman in the movie, and didn’t get to be quite as awesome as the guys.

5. There seems to be some dissent about whether this movie was awesome or awful, and some of it seems centered around the comparison of the movie to the tv show. In the interests of full disclosure, I’ve never seen the tv show. ::cough:: (Though now I may have to check it out.)

6. Quotes to follow!
