"A group of Iraq War veterans looks to clear their name with the U.S. military, who suspect the four men of committing a crime for which they were framed."

going by the trailer....


if theyve gone in such a totally different direction... why have they dressed the new actors up to look like the old ones ?  they just look stupid :(

Big nay :(

Its going to be a cheesecore special effects romp with piss poor comedy elements. Theyve managed to make Mr T completely uncool by making the character try to be too gangsta, thats not what Mr T was about. As I read on another forum "Charlies Angel-Team"

Im starting to think CGI in films needs a serious cull, scriptwriting and storytelling are gone these days.

No we need more CGI.
We need CGI to the level where we can digitally recreate the old a-team.

Then have them drop from an aeroplane in a tank and shoot fighter planes out of the sky while aiming at terminal velocity? I love it when a plan comes together.

It looks more like the A-Team than I was expecting, actually from that trailer I feel more optimistic about the whole thing now, though judgment is still reserved until I see it.

[EDIT]
Hmmm maybe I spoke too soon? Just seen the last bit of the trailer (sh*ty AOL throttling during peak hours) and the tank falling through the sky whilst shooting at the UCAV seemed cheesy as hell, and not good cheesy either.

I’m much less optimistic now. :(

You cant just pick 4 people and have one smoke a cigar and you have the a-team.

I can think of two people who died. And there were a couple of deaths off camera where its made known that the baddies took the guy out before the a team arrived.

See now thats the cast they should have gone with, throw the budget at that instead of ILMs para-tanks falling through the sky. Terry Crews is great in fierce roles, he would have been a much better BA

Actually, apart from the .50 on the tank in freefall bit Im liking the second trailer a lot more.

With all of these remakes people are naturally going to over intellectualise it and look back with rose tinted glasses, elevating otherwise trashy pieces of TV and cinema to a lofty height that they were never really worthy of.

Fingers crossed for this one.
