the A-team

So I watched 2010's comedy the A-team starring Liam Neeson and the pretty boy douche Bradley Cooper. So is this movie good, hell no! So why did I watch it? Well for one I was forced into it, and secondly it scored a 7 on IMDB. I have found that a movie that scores a 7 on IMDB is usually worth watching, but have found with some popcorn flicks that there is a skew that does not necessarily reflect this observation. This was beyond true in this case. So I used to watch the A-team growing up and loved the show including the wonderful character known as B.A Baracus played perfectly by Mr. T.. So I will say I get that the show was over the top and ludicrous and so the movie should be as well. However, if you are going to take a bad t.v show from the 80's (remember I said I loved it) and make it into a movie why not just spoof it like Todd Phillips did with Starsky and Hutch. This movie took itself too seriously. It was a comedy and had some laughs, but overall was beyond unrealistic while trying to appear somewhat realistic. The character portrayed by Jessica Biel was just pointless. The bad guys were just huge douches (hey that's twice I used that word in one review). This movie was way too long and it wasn't even ridiculously long. The back story of how the A-team found each other was pointless, confusing, and pathetic. This movie was confusing and incoherent at times, while extremely predictable at other times. This movie sucked plain and simple. Look there are those in this world who got this movie and I guess enjoyed it, all I can say is kudos you are probably the reason why America is lagging behind the rest of the world in terms of educational standards; congratulate yourselves great job.
