I admit that I'm curious to see what fans of the television show will think of the movie, so please post a review of it once you have the chance to see it, therm!

I also have more faith in the film after watching District 9 and finding out that Sharlto Copley is playing Murdock and he was awesome in D9. Funny you should mention that, Therm... I watched D9 again, and was even more impressed this time. SC is a very, very talented guy, and I think he'll make a good Murdock. ;D

I certainly will let you guys know what I think of the film. I also have more faith in the film after watching District 9 and finding out that Sharlto Copley is playing Murdock and he was awesome in D9. Funny you should mention that, Therm... I watched D9 again, and was even more impressed this time. SC is a very, very talented guy, and I think he'll make a good Murdock. ;D Well when I first started watching the film I was like 'This guys so annoying!' and then by the end you kinda love him. I wanted to see more stuff with him in and now I get to see one of my fave shows ever, remade with him playing the part of my fave character. And also, the fact he's a huge A Team fan when he was a kid is another big plus!

In the end, I'm really glad they used a relative unknown like SC as Murdock instead of someone like Jim Carrey or Will Farrell. After all, nobody had heard of DS when he was cast as Murdock.
Therm, I had the same feeling about SC...he plays a dorky character very well, but he's able to draw out a lot of sympathetic feeling for the guy and make us laugh at the same time. That's exactly what's needed for Murdock.
Plus, I'm definitely looking forward to SC's take on Murdock in a mental ward. ;D

OMG, that was EVEN WORSE!!!! There's nothing that says "A-Team" in that trailer, except for that poor try at the end with the van. I honestly didn't think they could make it any worse, boy was I wrong.
MY EYES, MY EYES!!!

It looks like it is mainly going to be about them either trying to clear their names or possibly even get revenge. I never felt TAT was about them getting revenge on the army. It was not even really that much about them trying to clear their names. That always just sort of seemed to set the stage for why they do what they do best - help the little guy (the Robin Hood aspect, if you will). It doesn't look like it will be at all about them helping some group of nice folks being oppressed by some slimeballs, but maybe the trailer just doesn't show that. I wonder if they will even have a fist fight - it looks like it will be mainly about lots and lots of really improbably action and all kinds of weapons, gadgets, etc. But I wonder if they will make some cool gadget out of things they find when/if they are locked in a warehouse. It just doesn't seem like it is going to focus much, if at all, on the Robin Hood aspect but maybe I'm wrong. I will admit that fake B.A. seemed funny when he was mad at Murdock for destroying his van. That even seemed like the real B.A. and Murdock's line about him not being able to park in the handicapped zone seemed like something the real Murdock might say. (See, I CAN say something nice!) Oh well, I'll try not to lose any sleep over it, one way or the other. (Speaking of ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, I bet there won't be any Blondie songs in the movie either. )

I thought this trailer was much better overall.

I'll still watch it (ducking for cover) despite the fact that Jessica Biel is in it and I absolutely can't stand the phony Faceman.

Oh, with time I came to the conclusion that Cooper isn't that bad as a guy in general, but I know I couldn't stand hearing someone other than Dirk getting called Face. Or seeing the other familiar names being assigned to the wrong faces for that matter. Should that change one day, then I might watch the film when it airs on tv... And yes, I know I'm not flexible and a traditionalist, but I can't help it. I love our guys and don't want them being replaced by others

The thing I can't get over? (Well, one of many...) Murdock is supposed to be scruffier-looking than Face, and this movie has it the wrong way around. Oh, and I still hate Hannibal being called "Boss" instead of "Colonel." Maybe if I mentally give the movie a different title from TAT, I can like it more.

Hey, Mossy, does that mean you are a Tim Dunigan fan? Because he was actually the original Face, you know.

As far as I'm concerned, Tim doesn't exist in the team universe...the role was written for Dirk and I've only ever watched Mexican Slay Ride once, so that I can say I've seen it. That was as much as I could take of another fake Face. Ok, I'm not only not flexible and a traditionalist, I can be an ignorant, too

I didn't even notice that....was it in the newer preview? Well, maybe I didn't notice or care because I don't think of Liam Neeson as the Colonel - that is only GP!!! ;D
