I got exactly what I wanted, a fun, action & craziness filled film that has the core DNA of the original TV Series!
"The A-Team" is worth seeing just to watch Liam Neeson as Hannibal and Bradley Cooper as Face. There's a lot of waaaaaaay over-the-top action aided by a ton of CG effects. The story is asinine but I expected that going in. The finale was a mess but again, not a surprise.
If you are looking for a lot of eye-rolling action and a ridiculous story that'll make you chuckle, you could do worse.
I could gush about this for a long time but I'll keep it short -- it's fantastic. This is going to be a word of mouth hit because there's no one who leaves it who won't want to get other people to see it.
Received an invitation to the premiere, and as you guessed, it had very typical superhero tropes. I don't really mind it and kinda dig the light-heartedness. The storyline isn't groundbreaking but the slapstick humor here and there makes it a fun watch. I'm glad I went, it was a great choice to unwind on a midweek evening.
How can there be 7 votes giving it 36% now in 2016, when the movie is due in 2017???
Based on the play with the same name, The Whale is such an impactful piece. I found myself so heartbroken watching how the main character Charlie, played by Brendan Fraser, deals with his depression and life regrets. Speaking of Brendan Fraser, such a sweet soul and he played the role beautifully. I was able to go to an opening night Q&A with him speaking. My favorite part was hearing how they wanted to make Charlie look human despite how you may see other movies with actors in "fat suits". This movie also has no small roles. Sadie Sink and Hong Chau as supporting actresses uplifted the turmoil that one man’s suffering can ripple to the people around you. Definitely adding this movie to my list of favorite Darren Aronofsky films.
With reviews like “anti-entertaining”, I wasn’t expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised! Granted it isn’t anything new but it’s run-of-the-mill fare done well. Supremely watchable. Ties into the larger DCEU including Peacemaker in believable fashion. The only part I was sad about was the death of a very interesting character so soon after their introduction. Hope they are brought back in some form later.
So this is basically Guardians of The Galaxy, with a robot instead of Groot, a kid instead of raccoon, and the girl is not green. 8 Starlords out of 10.
just give elsa a girlfriend already
