The A-Team 4.5 stars

The A-Team is a fun movie.


And I mean it is fun. Great action sequences, not much language, hysterical dialogue and jokes from every cast member, and great acting everywhere, this film truly is a must see.

(MAY INCLUDE SPOILERS) The A-Team is about a group of soldiers who are dishonorably discharged from the army and sent to four different prisons for a crime they did not commit. They escape and try to prove their innocence. (END OF SPOILERS)

For lack of a better word, the action was so much fun. There are so few movies left that can just make you sit back and enjoy the unrealistic fighting and aerial combat. As much as I thought that I would not like these grandiose, gravity defying sequences, I actually loved it. The director, Joe Carnahan (Smokin’ Aces), fills the films with all of these funny, quick dialogue scenes and amazing actors that you are too immersed in the film to care about that they can “fly a tank.”

Though the story was a little weak, and the graphic effects were okay at best, it was the acting that made the movie. Liam Neeson (Taken, Batman Begins) as Hannibal Smith, Bradley Cooper (Valentine’s Day, The Hangover) as “Faceman” Peck, Sharlto Copley (District 9) as James Murdock, and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson as B.A. Baracus were all amazing. Rampage Jackson was a little hard to understand, but other than that, they all portrayed their respective characters perfectly. However, Sharlto Copley was the best. He is so funny and can do so much humor with his characters.

I definitely recommend this film. See it, no question.
