Guest NGOG Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 At the time of its release, it didn't really get a particularly positive response. I think it's a very good action piece and I would like to see a sequel. Genius casting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITG Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'd certainly love to see David Spade make more jokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 It's possible they could make a sequel, it doesn't hurt that Bradley Cooper's become a bigger star since then, and a lot of people got to see it on home video. I just don't think it had the kind of success "Highlander" was able to have to warrant a sequel (which tanked I think) and a TV series (which still has a following).

wasted Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 It's pretty decent fast paced action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I loved The A Team as a kid, didn't mind the movie (for what it is)-at least it stayed pretty true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I think they captured the spirit of it which is all they could do. They didn't make it too serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 If they make a sequel, it needs more of the Van in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Len B'stard Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) The problem with these things is that the charm of the original is, once you're older, how shit it was It was basically a violent show for little kids now if you're gonna take that template and try and make a serious film out of it you're setting yourself up for a fall, unless you're gonna try and replicate the shit-charm of it which again is very dangerous because you are excusing or inserting less than sterling elements into something that you are presenting to people with a view to making it successful, it's simply not as easy as the old formula will work today.Also, the iconography of it, you simply cannot replace someone like Mr T..don't get me wrong, Faceman, George Peppard etc were all as iconic in their roles but you could at least go about transplanting a similar person in that role...who the fuck is or ever was similar to Mr T? There's no father to that boys stylee Or sons.Kitsch charm is a very difficult thing to replicate because it is case and time specific.

Estranged Reality Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The film seems to have its fans but I watched most of it on TV one night and thought it was rather naff. Good cast, (sometimes) good director, but the budget was too high and it seems like they all just kind of lost control of it. It would have been a lot better as a lower budget B-movie.

Guest Len B'stard Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 It would have been a lot better as a lower budget B-movie.It'd take that kinda novel approach to do something with it to make it stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
