Tampa Bay Times
The 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. - 70
Variety
Best enjoyed (a la the "Mission: Impossible" franchise) by simply admiring the explosions and silliness without dwelling too much on the skeletal plot. - 70
Arizona Republic
If 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. - 63
Chicago Tribune
Until a leaden third act, it IS reasonably entertaining. - 63
Orlando Sentinel
The players embrace this for the lark it is. Their pleasure in going this gonzo spills off the screen. - 60
New York Daily News
Both 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. - 50
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The diabolical sadist of the team was director Joe Carnahan. - 40
Chicago Reader
Carnahan 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.
