"The A-Team" Movie Trailer Review

This year has a ton of great films coming out that I am looking forward to seeing, such as “Iron Man 2,” “Kick-Ass,” “Hot Tub Time Machine" and “The Green Hornet." I could go on and on. But of all those movies there is one I am looking forward to most: “The A-Team.”

The remake stars Bradley Cooper, Liam Neeson, Quinton Jackson and Sharlto Copley as a group of ex-United States Special Army Forces who are on the run from the government for a crime they didn't commit. The film finally has a trailer and it’s great. (A lower-quality leaked version appeared online recently only to be taken down in most places at the studio’s request.)

The trailer keeps the classic music and style of the television series, and really pushes the action to the extreme, which is getting me even more excited for this flick.

Alongside Jackson’s take on B.A. Baracus, originally made famous by Mr. T, the film stars Neeson as Col. John “Hannibal” Smith, Cooper as Lt. Templeton “Faceman” Peck and "District 9’s" Copley as “Howling Mad” Murdock.

The casting of this film is seriously perfect. Neeson looks ridiculously badass as Hannibal--cigar, bravado and everything. Cooper and Copley have quickly become two of my favorite actors and they look extremely comfortable in their character's shoes. Joining the male action heroes is Jessica Biel as Faceman’s ex (of course).

The most ridiculous part of the trailer comes at the end with Cooper’s Faceman, manning a tank that's falling from the sky and still shooting bad guys with its machine gun. Hey, there’s parachutes attached to it, so it’s all good.

Does it look like an Oscar winner? No. But that’s not what I want from this movie. What I want is a solid story, a great cast, some over-the-top explosions and witty dialogue. From the trailer, it looks as if I am going to get just that.

Look for “The A-Team” June 11, 2010. Check the out the trailer here.
