You're not alone. That cast was so stacked.

Yup, very fun movie, exactly what I wanted out of a A-Team movie. Coply was an excellent Murdock, carried the same sense as the character while making it his own.

Yeah, I think it's biggest problem is that it was released sandwiched right between The Losers and The Expendables, all only months apart so it got lost in the shuffle and fell off but I really didn't think it sucked at all and most people I know who actually saw it did really enjoy it too.

I actually watch those three back to back when I'm on a sick day

As far as stupid reboots no one asked for goes, it is top tier. It knows exactly what it is- an absolutely ridiculous film where you can tell everyone working on it had a goddamn blast. It's a comedy that makes fun of the source material and the very idea of doing an A-Team reboot without being overtly meta. They fly a tank in it, and for that alone it's gold.

The scene with the tank shooting the ground while it parachuted down to a lake is one of my favorite action setpieces ever. Whenever I see big action things in planes in movies like in Uncharted or The Gray Man or that one Mission Impossible I forget which one, it never satisfies me quite the way that A Team scene did. It felt like a perfect cartoon-meets-real-life style, which is a sweet spot that Marvel usually tries to aim for, but yeah, A Team has become totally overlooked.

It was way cooler than the Expendables, but like not as cool as John Wick. Or it was somewhere between the original Predator movie with the macho dudes in a crazy yet realistic action universe like Kick Ass
