Its not scorn and ridicule, but its like saying there is too much sci-fi in your Star Wars.

It is what it is, and this is an adaptation of the A-Team TV show. Is there anything wrong with that? No.

Passing the torch? To who? Other POW’s who escaped from a maximum security military prison for crimes they didn’t commit? Oh, that would be more change.

So you are ok with change as long as its the change you like instead of the change they went with?

I think this movie has “franchise” written all over it. It’ll go to 3 movies max or maybe more. It looks fun. And Liam Neeson is a great great actor.

Well I’m hardly whining, if anything Rodney I’ve already said in past comments that I’m down for this film I just think it would be cool to start the film off with the Original cast (what’s left of them, and they all look pretty fracken good) passing the torch…

J Christ wtf, with all the scorn and ridicule here???

Its an ADAPTATION…. by pure definition it MEANS change.

Sounds like there is no way you COULD be satisfied. You want these guys to have been on the run helping people for the last 38 years? You know that the original had them breaking out of the maximum security prison in 1972 which would make them all like 60 some years old trying to pull the same stuff? Lets just call it A-Team: Social Security

The usual reboot of a tv show movie is exactly what they are doing, and they will do what they can to ADAPT it to re-represent the storyline that was so popular from 83-86.

Instead of just whining about the obvious (oh noes, they changed something to make it a movie!!) why not give the film a shot and judge it for yourself. You have already decided that its going to suck because they are not 65 years old.

No Bob, but they could explain how Hannabel was killed in a mission and weave it into the storyline.

Instead were just getting the usual reboot tv show movie. The only original thing about this film is the cast. (Imo)

In reply to 790. Would it be worth it, in your opinion, to exhume the corpse of George Peppard in order to make up the "original cast"? On second thought, why not? The A-Team could simply pick up where "Weekend at Bernie's" left off.

Here’s my deal.

I’m pissed that they’re not using the original cast as a jumping off point to these new characters.

At the same time I’m starting to come around to liking this cast. With the exception of the rapper Mr T wanna bee!
As long as its not converted to 3D I’m prob gonna see it!

“Standard action over the top action film”?

Uh, did you ever WATCH the original A-Team show?

And it is directly linked to the A-Team trademarks, and the name is “slapped on it” because it is the same characters.

Its not a direct sequel to the TV series, its an adaptation. And it looks like a faithful one so far.

what a load of crap. i hated the idea when i first heard about . i hated the trailer when i first seen it and now this new trailer just shows its just a bog standard action over the top action film wth no link to any a-team trademarks . just the characters and a-teanm brand name slaped on it. their better b a-team tradional trade marks in final cut.

I dig the trailer, looks fun. Still not a big fan of Rampage Jackson but he is doing a decent job as BA. Also has Jessica Biel so that lures me in.

Never LOVED the series but growing up in the 80’s you couldn’t really avoid it.

This looks like a solid action film, and would watch just to see the district 9 guys take on H.M. Murdock (looks spot on)

Watching this trailer brings me back my youth. I am very excited. No I dont think this movie will compete with Iron Man 2, but I think it has a lot of potential because of the fans. If there is a well written script and story behind it then we’ll have good movie. Too many movies these days are created without any heart and soul. Im hoping this isn’t one of them.
