I truly do believe that this movie did absolute justice to one of the greatest TV shows ever conceived. I will say i was a bit disappointed that they made the movie about Face more then the rest of the Team. I know they needed to play up the fact that Bradley Cooper was in the movies in order to win over the female vote, but honestly, did the whole movie need to be about him? Did the movie even need a love interest angle?. NO! It's the frickin' A-Team for god sakes. You don't go to see Sex in the City 2 for the action sequences, do you? No you do not, so can we please leave out the lovey dovey scenes from the A-Team and replace them with more explosions, more gun fights, more of B.A. sending people off first class knuckle airlines, and more good ol' one-liners from Hannibal instead of just the one. Come on, it's the A-team we are talking about here....Let's get froggy dammit
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I have to say, I'm a huge Marvel geek and damn proud of it, so I know a lot of the history between Whiplash and Iron Man. Though the movie changed a few things around and maybe a name or two, at it's core the movie kept to the comic and that made me happy. Was not too happy about about the way Tony uses Cappy's shield, lol, but still good. Jon Favreau did what he does best, take a movie to the next level. There were many comedic elements to the movie as well, which is fine, however, I would have liked to see a bit more drama concerning Tony's alcoholism. Which inevitably leads to the real birth of War Machine. Surprisingly, Scarlett Johansson played a wonderful Black widow (way to kick ass), but I was disappointed with her lack of a Russian accent. Sam Jackson's role as Nick Fury was a bit upsetting. Ncik Fury is a much more gritty and heavily serious character, although he does from time to time have a little sarcasm to his tone, he should never be played as a comedic role to lighten the mood set by the rest of the movie...especially the Iron Man movies seeing as they already have a large comedic base thanks to the brilliant acting done by Robert Downey Jr. Once again he nailed the "tin can's" persona on the head. At this point, in my mind he is cemented as Tony Stark. Come the Avenger movie, should anyone else be cast to play the "metal head" I will be severely disappointed. Even though Terrance Howard played a good James Rhodes, Don Cheadle's performace was exceptional. I thought he and Robert Downey Jr.played very well off each other. They truly made me believe they had been long time friends whether on opposite sides or both playing for the home team. All in all the movie was a success and I would def recommend everyone to see this film. SPOILER ALERT. STOP READING IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW MORE: I was particularly happy with the scene after the credits....I'm sure you can tell by my nickname why.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
