Who's Da Fool?
I may well get drummed out of the Curmudgeon Club, or indeed hauled up before the Inquisition for heresy, but I've got to confess that this looks like it might be kinda fun after all:
It seems to me from the trailer that the movie doesn't take itself too seriously, which is key. On the other hand, I'm a bit troubled by some of the whiz-bang gadgets. Where's the duct-tape? Where's the aluminum tubing? Where's the converted lawn-mower engine? That's teh stuff of A-Team ingenuity.
Also, it must be said again that Liam Neeson is no George Peppard. Peppard could make Neeson cry like a schoolgirl. Peppard could give Neeson an atomic wedgie and then make Neeson beg for another one. Peppard could....well, you get the idea.

I pity the fool!
