The A-Team Reviews
The A-Team certainly explodes onto the big screen in a major way.
| Original Score: B+ | Sep 11, 2017
| Original Score: B+ | Feb 14, 2012
Joe Carnahan's movie is loud and vulgar and disorienting, but also an exhilarating kind of fun.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 3, 2010
Fond memories of Saturday teatimes spent with Hannibal Smith and the rest of The A-Team? Prepare to have them squelched.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 30, 2010
"Overkill is underrated," says team-leader Hannibal Smith (Liam Neeson), ominously, and the next two hours proceed to give overkill its due.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 30, 2010
An energetic escape from Development Hell: suitably OTT, often fun and always loud.

The A-Team's cocktail of convoluted scheming, smirking one-liners, and unabashed mayhem is unsurprisingly well-suited to its demands. But it's still junk. Surely we've moved on?
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 8, 2010
No oneâ(TM)s coming to a big-screen version of the lunkheaded 온라인카지노추천 show expecting The Hurt Locker. But would it have killed the editors to let a single shot breathe for more than two seconds?
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 6, 2010
The A-Team is a product that begs to be consumed alongside a jumbo tub of movie-theatre popcorn, complete with the butter-slick, tummy-sick aftereffects that are sure to leave a longer-lasting impression than anything mayhem maestro Carnahan cooks up...
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 6, 2010
A smug, swaggering piece of cacophonous mayhem.
| Original Score: C+ | Jun 20, 2010
Pity the intelligent moviegoer.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 18, 2010
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.
| Original Score: C- | Jun 18, 2010
I was not charmed by it.
Full Review | Jun 14, 2010
Heavy on biceps and aggression and -- crucially -- the zinging chemistry between its four leads
| Original Score: B- | Jun 11, 2010
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.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 11, 2010
Nothing - not the characters, not their stories and certainly not their violence - is meant to register deeply. Their words and worlds are disposable; it's no wonder they fade so fast.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 11, 2010
The toss-away jokes? Who cares? The idea that B.A. Baracus becomes a peacenik in the middle of the film? Who cares? The ending's complete lack of resolution? Who cares?
| Original Score: C- | Jun 11, 2010
This team may have given itself an A, but viewers likely won't be so generous.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 11, 2010
Carnahan, his talented production team, and most of his cast have worked together to create an old-fashioned summer action movie. It's nowhere near an "A," but it easily deserves a passing grade.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 11, 2010
