The A-Team is an incomprehensible mess with the 1980s TV show embedded inside. |

...until a leaden third act, it is reasonably entertaining... |

Pretty much everything you could have hoped for in an A-Team movie, this big-screen update of the '80s TV show hits all its marks. |

...remembers to entertain, albeit in a hilarious, hyper-violent action flick manner. |

...an overlong, overblown and utterly forgettable big-screen reboot... |

If the television version of The A-Team attracted a wide audience of all ages drawn in by the group's ingenuity and the program's low-key vibe, then [director] Carnahan's big-budget rethink is strictly for little boys. |

It's big, loud, ludicrous and edited into visual incomprehension. But pity the fool who lets that stand in the way of enjoying The A-Team... |

Overly long, over-complicated and overflowing with what sounds like billions of bullets and beaucoup broken glass, this film version of the hit 1980s TV series about soldiers of fortune is an underwhelming experience. |

The film's featherweight tone and self-conscious excess would be a lot more palatable if everyone didn't seem so insufferably pleased with themselves. The film acts as if it's won the race before the starting gun has even been fired. |

...yet another steroid-pumped thrill ride targeting young males who want something else from life besides steel-cage mixed-martial arts matches on cable. |

...works moderately well as the equivalent of a mindless B-movie... |
