This reboot of The A-Team is only a partial success. It’s at its best during ludicrous and over the top set-pieces - the flying tank for example. During these moments of excess it captures the fun, excitement and silliness of the original television series but overall it doesn’t quite get the tone right. The bulk of the film suffers from overly complicated plotting, tedious character development (e.g. - B.A.’s path towards peace - yawn) and not enough humour. The four leads are cast well but they don’t really spark off each other. It’s a good action movie for the most part but ends with a really boring run and chase and shoot things finale around some cargo containers at a dockyard - you know, the sort of thing that is in every other action movie. It’s okay but could have been much, much better.
