The A-Team Movie (Spolier Warning)
« on: June 11, 2010, 12:38:55 AM »
Ok so I just finished previewing the new film. I knew it was going to be somewhat silly but didn't realize just how bad it would be.

Heres a few things from the movie.

-A Huey can do a barrel roll 100 feet off the ground.

-A Huey can shut down it's engine in flight and restart it (with the rotor stopped) in 5 seconds.

-A Huey can survive constant barrages of 20mm fire.

-A C130 can carry an M1 Abrams tank.

-A C130 can out maneuver a Predator drone.

-A C130 can do a barrel roll....with an M1 Abrams tank in hits cargo bay.

-Predator Drones are all armed with 8 Sidewinder missiles and 2 machine guns.

-People can breathe without assistance at 20,000 feet for long periods of time.

-The Abrams tank can fly.

-The standard .50cal mount has an ROF of 5000 rounds per minute.

-The M1 is capable of landing in the middle of a lake, sink to the bottom, and then drive out under it's own power.

-A single LAW rocket impacting 20 feet above the water line on the bow of a container ship can sink the whole ship in 1 minute.
^^^^^ This part of the movie literally had me groaning out loud at the stupidity of it. A single LAW rocket hits the bow of this ship and blows up the whole freaking thing, I mean the damn ship SPLITS IN TWO.


Overall I give the movie a 6/10. The story is good, however, the sheer unbelievability of some of the parts really kills it. If you do watch it don't pay alot and expect to see alot of stuff that will just make your eyes roll. Oh and there is some language so leave the kids at home.

Uhm... it's the A-Team!

I don't recall the TV series being the pinnacle of realism either ;)

It had always been that way... I would have been very surprised if they would have changed that cheesy cartoon action approach.

Granted I never got to see the A-Team when I was growing up so I guess I'm kinda biased. A Co-worker who watched it with me said it was great and loved it, however, he had seen almost every A-Team episode ever made.

I guess since I'm on the outside looking in the movie seems silly, but if you grew up with the A-Team then you'd probably love it.

ooh, you forgot to mention a guy jumps out of a building, opens his parachute and then a helicopter picks him up by snagging his chute.


and my favorite, C-130 blows up, Tank freefalls then chute opens, drones attack, someone gets on the 50 cal gunners seat and shoots the drones, and the drone leave a dramatic explosion

Hehe. 

I remember watching the tv show as a kid and my dad always called them "bad shots", they never could hit anyone with their rifles (Ruger Mini-14's, AR15's, etc).

No one ever died?  No one was ever even shot IIRC.

Lots of lead flying... around.

Or when firing at a fleeing vehicles, there is a neat stream of bullets on each side of the car.
