A-Team definitely had better and more imaginative ones.<br /><br />The "heist" plans? The Losers basically ran willy-nilly into the enemy's gauntlet in the starting action sequence. they are basically just winging it. And that first action scene when they are back in the US? Clay and one of his team members basically just got out of their pinto in the middle of the freaking streets and fired something from a shoulder cannon. They seem like an incompetent lot, if you ask me. The closest they came to planning anything is that bit where hacker guy Jensen had to infiltrate the building. And let's not even go into the stupidity of the entire team of of federal outlaws attending a little league's game. There are no "wow" moments in the losers' missions. As for the A-Team, I got 2 words for u: Flying. Tank.<br /><br />Camera-work: Shaky cam is hard to do right - even Paul Greeengrass don't always nail it. But at the very least, i did not have any problem knowing what's happening at all time in the A-Team. As for the missions in Losers, i'm not even paying attention half the time because they aren't doing anything cool at all.<br /><br />Team member specialties? Other than jensen and sniper hat guy, i can't even remember what the rest is suppose to be good at. Seems like they just run into every situation and do whatever the fuck they want.<br /><br />Humour? that scene where Sharlto Copley did braveheart was alone worth the price of admission.<br /><br />And you say you care about characters more - so how are the characters in The Losers superior to the A-Team's? Hannibal was electrifying in that simple opening scene. and Patrick Wilson was perfect as the manchild sleazeball Lynch. Pike was an excellent villain in his own right too. Jason Patric's Max was shit and the actor openly admits that he doesn't respect comic book movies such as <i>The Losers</i> at all. For a hammy villain played right, see Michael C. Hall's performance in <i>The Gamer</i>. Sharlto Copley was great throughout and even lent a bit a gravitas to Murdock in that pre-last-mission scene with Face. B.A. is crap and I agree that his character arc should have been axed. you wrote this about the losers; <i>"And director Sylvain White is perfectly capable of capturing both that sexiness and everyone's badassness."</i> and i was like; you gotta be kidding me, especially after ur assessment of A-Team.<br /><br />I respect ebert but honestly, the guy did some real crap reviews on the occasion - transporter 3 is a good case in point. he just really, really like freckles. and i think it is unfair u rate a-team lower because of its comparison to the source material when you didn't do the same for the losers - and then go on to rate Losers better.<br /><br />oh, not saying your opinion is invalid, of course. there's no accounting for taste. i went to see A-Team with a bona fide fanboy of the original series, and even that guy thought A-Team was waaay superior to The Losers as a mindless, fun action film.<br /><br />i am starting to suspect you were paid to review the losers. the reasons you gave just don't add up.k0k s3n w4ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09564727389837796019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164805258628400279.post-53671453133322967532010-06-20T11:55:07.748+08:002010-06-20T11:55:07.748+08:00OMG...THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME...LOVE IT....OMG...THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME...LOVE IT....v!vi@nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17527343920717463288noreply@blogger.com
