The A-Team Movie (spoilers)
Mar. 17th, 2011 11:34 pmIn brief, I started grinning as soon as Hannibal stepped back into the shadows, and I grinned the whole way through. Was it loud? Yes. Was it ridiculous? Yes. And to anyone who goes, "Well, that's the problem," I'd like to counter: IT'S THE MOTHERFUCKING A-TEAM.
And to those who said they couldn't "recognize the guys" (true quote), I am supremely curious as to WHAT ridiculous 80s show they remembered. Because me? I saw the guys. Hannibal has a plan. BA beats people up. Murdock is nuts, and Face dresses well, scams things, and makes out with people. Also, if the complaint is that Face got to have a plan? It happened on the show. For realsies. I remember.
All that being said, I liked it. Because it gave me the same goofy look on my face I get when I watch the original A-Team. Because the whole damned thing is a cartoon for grown-ups, and that is AWESOME.
People: they FLEW A TANK. If you can't respect the batshittery in that, I simply do not know what to do with you.
Lastly: Dirk Benedict's face looks like a shoe. Which, given how often his misogynist foot gets jammed in his mouth, I'm not surprised.*
*Let's remember that, a) Dirk is not Face, so I still like the A-Team, and b) I do not use the word misogynist lightly, and I base this usage on Benedict's referral to female Starbuck being part of an "anti-masculinity" agenda.
