Yeah, we know it’s not really a Science Fiction/Fantasy film, but The A-Team, based on the 80′s action series of the same name, will definitely attract many genre fans to the theaters. The critics have not been attracted to the movie’s over-the-top violence thus far, though, as the film has only amassed a Fresh Rating of 51% from the Rotten Tomatoes site as of its opening day. Following is the consensus opinion on the movie:
For better and for worse, Joe Carnahan’s big-screen version of The A-Team captures the superficial, noisy spirit of the TV series.
In his review, Ted Fry Seattle Times says “Fans of explosions, machine guns, brutal fisticuffs and elaborate set pieces that fuse digital effects with impressive practical stunts will get their fill as the A-Team, class of ’10, accomplishes its mission — and exactly according to plan.” Claudia Puig of USA Today is less enthused by the movie, saying in her review that “Despite a talented cast, this nearly two-hour inane frenzy of action and violence is rarely more than bloated and boring.” An even harsher critic of the movie is the original B.A. Baracas, Mr. T himself, who derides it for its violence and says that “People die in the film and there’s plenty of sex but when we did it, no one got hurt and it was all played for fun and family entertainment.”You can read more of the critics’ opinions at the movie’s Rotten Tomatoes page and you can see the trailer for the movie at its official website.
