What were they thinking when they decided to make The A-Team a movie? The tv series was a big succes (in Holland) despite the fact that it had basically the same story every episode.
Now here is the movie! When I see and hear Liam Neeson as Hannibal I almost vomit! Here we have an Irish guy 'trying' to imitate a cowboy with hair that has no business being on his head, an accent that is so weird it's not even identifiable and mumbling while you can clearly hear he can't talk with a cigar in his mouth.
Not to mention the rest of the 'team'! B.A.: Not every muscular, mohawked, big, black guy has the carisma Mr. T had on screen!
Murdock: Despite his so called madness, he was a genius. Not just some fruitcake mental patient...
And last... Faceman: In the tv series he was not just a pretty faced playboy, the character actually had depth.
Overal, watching the team characters on tv they felt like a real team where the characters really fit together like puzzle pieces.
This attempt of a movie has failed on every aspect that was a succes for the tv series. I could only watchbthe movie in utter disgust, it isn't even worth a homage status! It's nothing more than a straight-to-video action movie with characters 'based' on The A-Team. Any action actors, without relating it to The A-Team, could have played a decent part in this fiasco.
I rather watch reruns on tv than watch actors trying their hardest and fail miserably at playing characters that only the original cast was able to portray. Yet another sad example that Hollywood has lost it's creativity and is out of original theme ideas....
