A group of Iraq War veterans looks to clear their name with the U.S. military, who suspect the four men of committing a crime for which they were framed. Go on! Watch it right now! ---

Now then… Liam Neeson looks like he’s having the time of his life and hearing him say “I love it when a plan comes together” was excellent. And then of course the trailer ends with the A-Team flying in a plane, getting shot out of the sky by another plane, then falling to Earth inside of a tank, then they pull a parachute on the tank and then they use the tank’s cannon to SHOOT DOWN THE PLANE THAT SHOT THEM! :eek: :eek: :eek: This is going to be the greatest movie ever. OK, maybe not. But I’m incredibly optmistic it’ll be entertaining. ---

That was awesome. It even looked like B.A. was unconscious in the airplane! Face looks a little too buff and not smarmy enough though. ---

I want to take that trailer out behind the bleachers and get it pregnant. ---

“Howling mad” Murdock wasn’t mad enough, it seems. (I wanted to be him when I grew up. I’d rather not think about what that means…) ---

That looked better than it had any right to. And I think I mean that as a compliment. ---

For the record, that scene was the point at which I decided that I must see this movie. It’s a pure “gamer” moment- it’s the kind of thing that I would try to do in an role playing game. ---

My inner ten year old is jumping up and down with excitement right now. I especially loved the slight hints of that wonderfully 80’s theme song playing throughout the trailer. And **muldoothief** is absolutely right, their needs to be a scene in this movie where the team gets locked in a shed for an afternoon and they kitbash a tank together from spare parts and grease. ---

I’m gonna add too…it will be interesting to hear the reactions of people who are like me. I am about 80% aware of everything of the A-Team…but never seen an episode in my life. I wonder how much of the movie I will “get” or “miss”…depending on who it’s aimed at ya know? ---

Yeah, it could be the greatest movie of all time. Or it could stink. Or anywhere in between. I’ve seen too many movies where they put all the good stuff into the trailer, leaving nothing behind for the movie. ---

I’m just surprised it’s taken them this long to do a movie of that concept. It’s a natural. Though I’ve got to say that there is NO way they will ever manage to find a better B.A. than Mr. T. Whole show was built around him on purpose. I think it will be worth dropping some $$ on a matinee showing. 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-team-trailer-this-could-be-the-greatest-movie-of-all-time/524535.md?page=2)
