for a crime they didn't commit

posted by [personal profile] rivers_bend at 12:12am on 12/06/2010 under , ,
So tonight we went and saw The A-Team. Non-spoilery review. IF YOU WATCHED THE SHOW AS A CHILD, GO SEE THIS MOVIE.

If you go see this movie, stay to the very end of the credits.


as you might expect you kind of need to leave your brain at the door. But the chemistry between the leads is great, the guy playing Murdoch is perfect while being almost nothing like "Mad-Dog" Murdoch of old, Liam Neeson is the exact right person to play Hannibal, Bradley Cooper is, as always, rather stunning, and he does take his shirt off and UNF. UNF UNF UNF. I really love Jackson as B.A. too.

The story actually holds together a lot better than I was expecting it to; some of the one-liners garnered literal cheers from the audience, and there were several places where spontaneous applause burst out. It's a whole lot of ridiculous fun.

When I was a kid I totally wanted to be BA when I grew up! Or a truck driver.

Me and my best friend used to 'play' A-Team all the time. He was always Hannibal, and I was always Murdock (I refused to play Amy or Tawnia). He had gloves and a fake cigar and I had the ball cap and a jacket. We had so many toy guns and various other weapons that we must have looked like a junior militia. At one point we taped an audio-only 'reenactment' of an episode complete with the worst sound effects ever done. I STILL HAVE THE TAPE. Comedy gold. Gonna blackmail the friend with it someday.

IF YOU LOOK OUT THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE RIGHT WING IS ON FIRE.

I love how many scenes were 'we are building some awesome shit from scratch, ok'. I always knew when an episode was 45 minutes in because that was exactly when they started building shit.

Sharlto Copley is Murdock. He's the reason that I'm going to see it on Sunday. =)

I'M SO FRIGGIN EXCITED TO GO SEE THIS. My family is a big fan of the A-Team (we own all the seasons) and we're actually going in costume. (I'm Murdoch.)

I haven't seen the actual show since I was little, I don't think. but I watched it when it first aired, and I watched the repeats when I was older. Love it. :D :D

and OMG THAT IS AWESOME. There were people at our screening dressed up.

SO YEAH, UNNECESSARY UPDATE. WE WENT TODAY, IN COSTUME, AND THE THEATER STAFF LOVED US. ESPECIALLY MY DAD BECAUSE HE IS TOTALLY A NATURAL METHOD ACTOR. AND MY MOM, WHO WENT AS THE VAN.

You haven't by any chance found a fandom springing up around the new movie, have you?

I haven't noticed a fandom springing up, but I'll let you know if I do.
