And the first thing that comes to mind after seeing it is: it doesn’t totally suck.

Around these parts, the general feeling about an A-Team movie is that it’s unnecessary but I have a feeling I’m not alone in my secret wish that the movie (which is going ahead regardless of what we think) doesn’t completely suck. I liked the first promotional image from the production and having seen the trailer, I’m not sure this is going to be a runaway success (the show worked because of it’s 80s cheesiness) but it looks to be heading in the right direction. Liam Neeson is doing a pretty good job of channeling Hannibal as is Sharlto Copley as Murdock. Heck even mixed martial arts artist Quinton Jackson seems to be doing well as Mr. T (mind you, Mr. T never did much talkin’). I’m just not sure why we’re getting so much Bradley Cooper in this trailer. Sure, he’s a looker (though he’s got nothing on Dirk Benedict) but I hope this isn’t going to be the Cooper show.

Either way, I admit to getting a little giddy at the first few notes of the theme song. This looks like you’re typical big action blockbuster but hell, I’ll give it a shot.

The A-Team opens on June 11th.
