I Smell A Flop

The summer movie season is officially in full swing. May normally begins this event and there are already great movies out there, Iron Man 2 and Robin Hood are among those gems. However I reflect back to a few summers ago, 2005 to be exact. The offender of horrible films... Dukes of Hazzard. I did not hear many good things about it and from all the trailers and reviews I read, I managed to skip it safely and enjoy the rest of that summer. Now jump to this year (2010)...

A Team.

I wasn't very sure about it when I heard the idea to make a movie out of a classic TV show. Then I saw a trailer for it and thought ok maybe this movie has potential. Boy I jumped the gun in thoughts. Thanks be to the commercial kings, they revealed to me the best commercial to prove that I will more than likely skip it. Just wait till the end of the trailer as you will see what turned me off from this.


I know there are many movies with horrible special effects but tanks shooting in the air! C'mon! My first response when I saw this was laughter. There must have been a meeting around the writers desk about ways to create more action. Why they created that scene is beyond me. Besides all that the only talented actor in this film happens to be Liam Neeson. All the rest are either eye candy for ladies and objects for guys to say "Man I need to hit the gym to look like that."

If I end up seeing this it will be with my little brother who does want to. Then it will be once it has arrived at the $2.00 theater. I know it will still be supporting a more retarded sequel but that will be the only way I see it, also if friends tell me it's actually worth it will I consider paying $7.50

Enjoy to all them that do see it. Hope tanks flying in the air entertains you.
