I believe it comes out this Friday.

Doesn't look terrible but this is why I don't think it'll be great. I say this is an avid fan of the show. The show was great because it used such ridiculous and over the top violence it almost made the show itself a satire. Preppard was the best too. When I first watched the opening credits and saw him in a dinosaur costume smoking a cigar I knew I found a new favorite show.
Besides the fact no one can replace Preppard, they replaced Mr. T! You can't just get some random buff black guy and have him replace Mr. T. And I don't want to hear some bootleg version try to imitate him.
That being said, I am hopeful that I'm judging a book by its cover but I think any other fan of the A-Team would share my skepticsm. It really looks like it was over Hollywoodized and overcomplicated whereas the show was a simplified story of 4 badasses with memorable side stories who went around shooting people and blowing things up.

He is not some random buff black guy replacing Mr T. He is Rampage Jackson and is huge in the MMA world.

Compared to Mr. T, yes he is some random buff black guy

I'm a fan of the TV show and really looking forward to the movie.

Yes, the original cast was iconic, but considering that 3 of A-Team are well into their 50s and George Peppard is dead, they hardly could have gone with the old cast. I love Liam Neeson and can't imagine a better Hannibal. Bradley Cooper is fantastic in the right role. I've honestly never seen the new Murdock and B.A. in a movie.

But the previews have me excited. I'm not expecting anything deep. Just a fun popcorn flick. If I get that, I'm happy.

I think the movie looks sucky. I hate movies that are a spinoff of a t.v. show. Especially one as old as the Ateam. It probably doesn't help that I can't stand that douche bag who played in the hangover. Just never liked that guy. He seems cocky as hel l, and I don't see what the fuss is about him. He has a funny elfy type smile. He just rubs me wrong. I think "hollyweird" made way too big a deal over him. Who cares who he is dating? So he's dating puff face. Who cares? Most people including myself wouldn't give old puff face Zellweger a second look if she wasn't famous. But she does have nice legs....

I was familiar with all the actors except the MMA guy, I'd never heard of him till this movie. Neeson and Cooper of course are famous, and Sharlto Copley was the star of "District 9" which I enjoyed

I was a child of the 80s and a devout fan, but let's be honest....

How can you unload over 10,000 rounds of ammunition and not hit the target?

(I was a firearms instructor in the USAF and we used to refer to geeks missing every round as "A-Teamers.")
