Just saw the A-Team Trailer… Let me say this before you watch- I won’t give away anything that was a huge surprise to me, I just want to prep you a little…
Not since Joss Whedon’s -Ci6k” target=”_blank”>Serenity has a film looked like a more expensive episode of the original show. I mean- take Firefly and add a couple million bucks to the budget and that’s what you got… Now take The A-Team and add a HUNDRED million to the budget and you get…well- THIS: The A-Team Trailer I apologize for the poor quality- but its the only version of this trailer online so far… I’ll have to wait for the Hi-Res version before I can really pass verdict on this.
The trailer is full of flashy and fast cutting which doesn’t play well over such a terrible flash encode. But I do have this to say: “LIAM NEESON!??” That right there is enough to go see it! (I’ve always wanted to see him try comedy… heh) and NO I had no idea he was in this movie- When it comes to remakes- I try to find out as little as possible as I can, so I can go in with no pre-conceived notions. Oh, and I’ve also become quite the Brad Cooper fan… he has been VERY solid in everything I’ve seen him in. He’s got great timing and a good sense of every character I’ve seen him play-(also- who doesn’t love Wet Hot American Summer??) so… he may be another shining point in the film. Oh- and did I see him almost kiss Jessica Biel? It was super grainy and a really fast cut- but I could swear that was her… hot…
Most of all- I cannot get over how much like the original show this movie looks… I mean, trucks flipping over at the drop of a hat, explosions, cigars, trucks fliipping over THEN exploding, the terribly trite dialogue… I mean- SERIOUSLY I wonder if they found a lost/un-aired script of the original, expanded it and decided to make a movie.
From what I’ve seen- I’ll see it, I’ll laugh my face to pieces, and come away wanting to own a gold necklace and a large black van… oh and smoke a cigar. I PITY THE FOOL! (who doesn’t think this will be a damn good time at the movie theaters…)
