I never really watched the original, so they can't ruin anything for me!

That looks good. As a big fan of the original series, I'm there. I'm also a big MMA fan so I want to how Rampage does as BA. The A-Team was hands down my favorite show as a kid. I remember begging my parents to let me stay up to watch it on school nights.

The one thing that I will do going into this movie, is keep an open mind and try not to compare it to the TV series.

The original (which I LOVED) was over the top ridiculousness: machine guns fired everywhere and no one ever gets killed, makeshift weapons crafted from household materials, and the power of 4 people over hundreds of military personnel on their tail. This movie looks appropriately ridiculous.

I can't imagine Murdoch or B.A. being as perfect as they were on the show, but I think Liam Neeson should be good for Hannibal.

That show was great. It and Married with Children had a comic book feel that is missing from todays shows.

Looks like it could be good <shrugs>. Movie adaptations of retro TV series don't really "ruin" anything for me. They are what they are; unoriginal and formulaic for sure but more or less intended to be a "sure thing" at the box office.

Don't disagree with any of this. I was on the lookout for a silly summer movie, and this fits the bill nicely.

They're a mixed bag. Most are average.

The Brady Bunch movies were nothing short of genius.

The original is pretty bad, they'd be hard pressed to ruin anything for anyone.

EDIT: Having watched this trailer: OMG YES! THIS LOOKS AWESOME!

The A-Team was my all-time favorite show when I was a kid. I did not miss an episode. As an adult this movie looks incredibly stupid but I guess looking back that fits with the series somewhat. I wouldn't mind seeing it but I think I'll be a disappointed.

At least they kept the van (there is a quick shot of it in the trailer)

Im going to see it for sure.


That new Karate Kid movie on the other hand.. I want to murder (in an incredibly painful, gruesome, or humerous way) the person who decided to remake that film.
