A-Team
Saw it last weekend with Featha. I was worried that it would either be too campy, or be too much of a serious/political take on current events with some action thrown in. Thankfully it was neither. There's an appropriate amount of campy humor, and for the most part there isn't much politics, with the exception of the villain being employed by a security company called "Black Forest." The villain has to be from somewhere and the link they made makes sense. The South African guy who played Murdock was outstanding; he also had the best lines. His Blue Man/Braveheart riff was hilarious. Although it was quite relevant to today and was a good knock on Mexico, I wasn't thrilled with the origin story. Hannibal randomly meeting B.A., then later happening to find Murdock doesn't jive with the "real" origin story from the TV show. A couple of the scenes are a little over-CGI'd, particularly the end. But overall it's a good movie -- nice comic relief, tight plot that keeps moving, and good action sequences.
