Just because this is apparently "supposed to be bad" and looks terrible doesn't somehow make it worth seeing. This movie just never should have happened.

Remember when Joe Carnahan respected himself? The only thing good to come of this could be a couple of his pet projects (White Jazz, Killing Pablo) getting off the ground, although I'm starting to think Narc may have been a fluke.

This is basically Charlie's Angels with guys in it. So if you liked those films…

The original A team was a live action comic book. You were expecting The Hurt Locker? Sounds more like you're trying to justify putting it on your least list. It looks like good, popcorn fun to me.

So wait–you DIDN'T enjoy the moment in the Die Hardest trailer when the police car crashed into the helicopter? Avatar was arguably dumber than if not just as dumb as this trailer. I enjoyed this trailer for a minute and a half, and I'm no less intelligent for it. I think you guys are being a little close-minded.

Anyone expecting more than this obviously doesn't know a thing about the TV show. It's supposed to be ridiculous. It's supposed to have cheesy one liners. It is what it is. Dumb fun.

Sorry Greg, nothing personal, but yes, it was aimed exactly at you.

While will the trailer make only me dumber? What about everybody else? Why have I been singled out?

Good look on that Family guy clip, lol. This one's a wrap.

Guys, don't you fucking get it? This remake is SUPPOSED to be bad. Don't you get it? It's supposed to make you cringe and go wow, that's so fucking outdated. It's supposed to be SO FUCKING BAD that it makes you laugh so much that it becomes GOOD!

How you can not see that it's supposed to be a HUGE HUNKIN PIECE OF SHIT. GOD, don't you guys know what makes an ironic good movie anymore?

If it takes itself too seriously this movie is going to bomb, bigtime. But if it can be just silly enough, and over the top, to capture a sense of random humor, it may serve as passable entertainment (just passable mind you).

Yeah, I was expecting some form of Lars Von Trier intelligence, meta-narrative vibe from the first teaser trailer.

I mean, this is the A-Team after all. Show some respect to the cheesy '80's action show designed around a former Chicago bouncer who dons a mohawk, 50 lb's of gold chains, and spits out pithy sayings like "Shut up, fool!"

Where is the intellegence, people?!?!

Well the A-Team is supposed to be stupid, but funny/ironic at the same time. This seems to have zero of the original A-Team style, which is what would have made this an interesting idea. It does look like low-grade standard action fare.

There's really no reason at all for nostalgia nerds to get excited for this one... that trailer killed all, however minuscule, interest in this.
