- 91Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallTampa Bay TimesSteve PersallThe A-Team is literally a blast, from the opening credits containing more thrills than the average shoot-'em-up (and more laughs than some comedies), to a climactic orgy of CGI destruction.
- 70VarietyBrian LowryVarietyBrian LowryBest enjoyed (a la the "Mission: Impossible" franchise) by simply admiring the explosions and silliness without dwelling too much on the skeletal plot.
- 70Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzArizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzIf you are a stickler for movies that follow the laws of, say, physics, nature and common sense, The A-Team might not be for you. If, on the other hand, you get a kick out of exchanges like this - "Are they trying to shoot down that other drone?" "No. They're trying to fly that tank" - then you're in for a treat.
- 63Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsUntil a leaden third act, it IS reasonably entertaining.
- 63Orlando SentinelRoger MooreOrlando SentinelRoger MooreThe players embrace this for the lark it is. Their pleasure in going this gonzo spills off the screen.
- 60New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanBoth in name and spirit, The A-Team drags the Eighties into the 21st century, and you might be surprised to find -- if only briefly -- that you've missed them just a little.
- 50St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsSt. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsThe diabolical sadist of the team was director Joe Carnahan.
- 40Chicago ReaderCliff DoerksenChicago ReaderCliff DoerksenCarnahan stays true to the source material by delivering carnage without consequence (the machine gun-toting bad guys still can't hit a barn from the inside), his convoluted plot and multiple villains may challenge the attention span of the target demographic.
- 38Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBored out of my mind during this spectacle, I found my attention wandering to the subject of physics.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe film seems nearly writer-free. Absolutely no time gets wasted on story, character development or logic.
