The A-Team (2010)

All Critics (203) | Top Critics (37) | Fresh (96) | Rotten (108) | DVD (7)

No oneâ(TM)s coming to a big-screen version of the lunkheaded TV show expecting The Hurt Locker. But would it have killed the editors to let a single shot breathe for more than two seconds?

Had the action sequences been better framed and presented, this might have been one of the summer's mindless high points. As it is, it's a passable diversion.

Let's just be thankful that Carnahan, instead of redoing "The A-Team," didn't remake "Gandhi." The Ganges would have run red. Pacifism is for wussies.

I was not charmed by it.

The A-Team is utterly convinced of its own lovability even as it strains our credibility, abuses our patience, and punishes our eardrums.

To the old box-office maxim that trite makes right, a fresh corollary must be attached: Chaos is the new order, and ugly the new beautiful.

"The A-Team" combines over-the-top action scenes with lifeless jokes and the disappointing result is an uninspired action comedy.

This is not exactly a great film, but it is quite an entertaining one. If you're looking for a fun popcorn flick, then you don't need to look any further.

The expression 'brainless summer blockbuster' is often used as a pejorative, but energetic and entertaining popcorn like this shows that that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Mildly amusing is the best I can say for the film.

The Eighties should sue.

Joe Carnahan shows how the film's titular bad-ass heroes become rogue fighters, but takes an age to do so. The TV show's opening credits managed the same feat in around 20 seconds.

It may well annoy a few of you as much as it occasionally did me, but it will probably also elicit a good few laughs.

I also love it when a plan comes together, but as well-intentioned as this film might be, 'The A-Team' never gels for me. It's so awash in constant action that it takes all the fun of the characters right out of it.

... the set pieces are a confused mess and the character chemistry too weak to hold together the sloppy script despite good casting.

The A-Team is a can of soda -- empty calories, full of fizz. But like a good, cold can of soda on a hot summer day, it's curiously refreshing, tasty and it hits the spot.

Can only ride on our nostalgia for too long before the audience decides it's a tiresome and often confusing mess...

Cinema Crazed

Carnahan and [co] have harnessed the OTT recklessness and cartoonish mayhem of [the show], pumped it full of steroids and delivered a proudly loud and bombastic rendition that pays tribute to its roots without being distractingly slavish.

The A-Team succeeds in blasting onto the big screen with big attitude.

Based on its own merits, The A-Team is a sweet little sugar cube of outrageous fun and almost unparalleled silliness. We may not have asked for it, but I'm thankful we've got it.

Naizgled solidna ljetna zabava prepuna spektakularnih akcijskih scena nepotrebno je zakomplicirana scenarističkim zahvatima

Even committed action fans may acknowledge the editing is so frenetic that it's often impossible to know what is going on -- or why.

That rarest of things, a big-budget actioner that's almost impossible to enjoy.
