I think people have to give the director a chance on this one. Joe Carnahan makes solid films. Narc was awesome, Blood, Guts, Bullets and Octane was a great first effort and Smokin' Aces was a blast to watch. Ever since I heard he was attached I have predicted it would be a good one. Even after Rampage signed on. Even after I saw some stupid trailer with a tank falling out of the sky.
I'm not an A-Team fan boy either. I remember watched it for awhile as a kid than disliking it because they kept recycling the same stupid plot line of being stuck somewhere and having to create some sort of weapon out of nothing.
