The Review

The downside of remakes of old classic into movies is the high expectation to surpass the original.

But then again the TV series A-Team is pretty cheesy in the first place, so it’s not that hard right to better it in the movie version eh?

Well I was wrong, as for me the A-Team was a hit-and-miss movie.

I reckon there will be camps which either love or hate it, there’s no middle ground.

As for me, the film just made the cut for a decently made production.

The plot is somewhat refreshing, but however there tend to be over-the-top scenes, which is exaggerated and making it too unrealistic.

Entertaining yes, but classic it isn’t.

The Good

• Plenty of hardcore actions which never stops!

The Bad

• The jokes could be better
• Jessica Biel is a miscast
• No one could replace Mr. T.
