I watched this trailer earlier and was quite uninspired. B.A. sounds like a wuss. Liam Neeson is just impersonating George Peppard. The action is way over the top and filled with CGI.

I'll probably watch it on cable.

I'll repeat something I saw in the comments on that webpage "It looks better than it has any right to considering the source material"  I'll watch it, I mean c'mon it's the damn A-team. I don't think however that I must see this in the theatre.

The original A-Team was gritty and serious and people died all the time because it was realistic. HOW DARE THEY MAKE A TANK FLY!

The preview had Face shooting down an airplane in a goddamn tank as it parachuted to the ground after their plane own plane exploded.

Think about that for a second, a fucking plane, in an tank. A tank.  They get my $9 just for that one scene.

Looks awesome. Great cast. Cooper as Face is inspired.

One thing though:

Trailer has been removed for copyright infringement. If that isn't a prime example of how retarded media companies are these days  I don't know what is. IT'S A TRAILER. THE GOAL OF A TRAILER IS TO GET PEOPLE INTERESTED IN YOUR MOVIE.

Unless they wanted to pull it down so people would start hunting for it. (It's turned up on youtube by now...)
Which generates a bit of buzz. Look at how many people were screaming for the Tron 2 trailer to be put up, after seeing the leaked footage.
Screaming on the internets. Talking about it, etc...

considering that the Theatre that i work at has a copy of this showing infront of both our Daybreakers prints, I find it really odd that they would be forcing websites to take it down.

Whomever is distributing this movie needs to cool it with the DMCA takedowns. Everytime I click a link to a trailer, it has been removed. The one I did find last night was so blurry I could not see shit.

Probably at the end of the movie. Dramatic ending with voice over for nostalgia.

That would own. They'd be all walking toward the camera, slow motion, explosions in the background, after finally doing whatever the movie's about. And they decide to work as soldiers of fortune.

And then the drums start. Voice-over. And the END CREDITS COULD BE LIKE THE OPENING CREDITS OF THE TV SHOW OMG THAT WOULD ROCK!!!

Edit: That looked like sarcasm, but it totally wasn't. NEITHER IS THIS!

I want to see them be ruthless, efficient, deadly killers in the Iraq war, but then the come back home and don't need to kill anybody, they're that badass. And that's why nobody ever died in the TV show, because they were that fucking good.

They need to have a scene where the bad guys' car is forced down a ravine and rolls over a few times before exploding. Then the bad guys clamber out mildly concussed and clutching their heads as a loose wheel goes bouncing down the road.

The problem with using Kimbo would be that he'd need a prosthetic mohawk.

Honestly, though, I can't think of a better candidate than Rampage.  He's got the basic look, he is a violent and dangerous motherfucker who is also a bit of a funny man with a soft heart, all the while managing to be a giant dick.  If that doesn't scream B.A., I don't know what does.
