I'm watching this tomorrow. Screw reviews! Last time many said A-Team not good. But after watching it, its the most blardy entertaining show this year i have seen. Its blardy under rated.

I watched the movie last night at IOI 9.40pm with my movie buddy. What gets to you is the sound. It all BANG! BANG! BANG! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The story is pretty B grade to me somehow. Its not fluent from start to end. I think many seen it already right? Here are some points from me.

The scene where Bruce Willis meets Stallone and meets Arnold. That is the highest point of the movie really. Did you guys seriously hear the dialog!!! Its full of fun and reference to their real life!!!! Like how Stallone said he will meet Arnold in a thousand years! And How Arnold says that Stallone likes to play in the jungle!!! I mean holy cow!!! What lines!!! Its every fanboys dream!!

And some point of the movie there are even more references of the dialogs to their real life. Like how Jet Li rants on how hard is him doing 2 times on everything because he is small? And how Dolph is put into a drug abuser character that clearly is a play on his life after being famous.

Dude!!! Randy Couture vs Steve Austin. MMA vs WWE. What more could both sports entertainment stars do in such a movie? They fight of course! Terry Crews is really a weird entry here. I mean i saw him in White Chicks as the misguided black guy trying to be white!!! You could not discount him as a possible action star for his buff body. But his face.... hahahaha. Micky Rourke is his usual "oh so cool" persona. Most only remember him in Iron Man 2. But i remember him in the BMW movies The Follow.

Jason Statham.... Now lets see. Why was he put into a macho girl getter role here? I think its mainly because of how he didn't get to show his ladies skills in The Italian Job up close. But... hey he does that too in Tranporter series. Kicking 5 butts for a lady is anyones dream of impressing and getting the fairer sex. Admit it!!!

The ending is a surprise. But its not really a big surprise. Some unfinished/ unspoken mini stories in this one begs for a second one. I dunno about you guys, but the meeting of the action heroes in this movie made my tiring day worth it. Some of the action scenes do seem like it came from the other action movie Shoot Em Up starring Clive Owen.

I don't care how it is rated badly. Really because once you see these single actors there, i automatically remember what movie they did. And how far they have come. Even my action fan buddy could not make out why the dialog in the church is so damn funny!!!When the action stops, its like these actors were reflecting their past. Its really an action man movie fan dream come true.

Bruce willis need to come back. So are the rest of the guys. Can they include Steven Seagal? Maybe.... just maybe Chuck Norris can make a cameo just like Arnold. And since Stone Cold is wasted, get The Rock, let him be the corny side kick of Bruce. hahaha. laugh.gif
