It’s a New A-Team Movie Trailer (No, Really)
See what I mean? Fox decides to release a new A-Team movie trailer on April 1st, and now anyone who sees it mentioned online has to wonder if they’re going to get rickrolled or something lame. Anyways, the trailer is real, although I do question the wisdom of releasing it a day after the new Expendables trailer.
It’s weird; while The A-Team clearly has wilder, more over-the-top action — that final bit of the trailer actually made my jaw drop — and while The Expandables looks more like your basic, standard issue action flick… seeing the two trailers one after the other, I’m more excited by The Expendables now. I’m not 100% sure why that is. Maybe it’s the amazingness of The Expendables‘ cast? Is it because the The A-Team keeps laughing irritatingly at their own antics? I don’t know. What do you guys think?
