I really enjoyed the A-Team. I've never seen the original TV series, but this was awesome. There was comedy, action, a funny and fresh script, and great actors. Sharlto Copley -amazing as Wickus in District 9 - here plays a totally opposite type of character. Funny, cool and a bit insane. Kind of like me. The movie starts out in Mexico where Face (played brilliantly by Bradley Cooper) is about to be hanged. At the last minute, he's saved by Hannibal Smith (Liam Neeson) and Baracus or B.A. (played by Rampage Jackson). They all have to escape, and to do that they need a pilot. So they go to a psychiatric hospital and find Murdock (Copley), who happens to be the pilot they need. They're then framed for a crime they didn't commit, and sent to different prisons. But since they're, you know, the A-Team, they escape and proceed to go after the person who set them up. Copley - brilliant and funny - is definitely the stand-out performance. At one point, out of nowhere, he does a hilarious Braveheart impersonation. Busy and overblown, I still really liked this movie.
