I havn't watched it all.. yet. I like the fact that people ACTUALLY get killed in it.. if you watched the TV series you'll know what I mean.

I remember this show from way back. I used to love it as a kid, I can remember my father making commits throughout the show about how they never manage to hit anyone they were shooting at. They always seem to get locked up somewhere that had steel plating and acetylene torches to fabricate some makeshift armor out of. Don't forget the most incredible luck to let them escape at just the right moment week after week.
A couple of years ago I saw a rerun on TV, thought to myself "Oh cool I haven't seen this in years!", that quickly turned to "How the hell did I ever watch this cr@p?!". Pops was right! The story line was terrible, acting mediocre at best, the plot was so thin you could see right thru all the thin spots, and there was a lot of them. In short the show was horrible to sum it up in a single word. All this went towards me not really caring if I ever saw the movie.
As it would happen there was nothing to watch, and not much else to do one night so I got it from here and we watched it. My lady thought it was awful, however I, having some very low expectations, was pleasently surprised. I was actually entertained! Even caught myself laughing out loud a few times. All in all I thought it wasn't a bad movie. It was kind of a prequel to the TV series, but as mentioned they left plenty of room to expand the story in a sequel.
Don't expect anything on the level of an award winning movie and you will probably enjoy it, especially if you were familiar with the TV series. I thought they did great justice and improved immensely on the series, and yea it's about time someone actually got killed in an A-Team shoot out. For the life of me I couldn't figure out why anyone would want to remake the series, but it was a pleasant surprise. I can't believe I'm saying this but I would actually recommend it!
