"The Expendables" vs. "The A-Team"

 Note: From a blog posed at Chud.com. I know there was a new trailer released for "The A-Team", but that still doesn't really change my feeling towards the movie.

When I first saw the trailer for "The A-Team" I couldn't help but smile. Not for the fact of being happy, but because I was just about to start laughing. In my opinion the film is absolutely goofy. But the real kicker was at the end of the trailer when I completely lost it, as I saw Bradley Cooper firing the machine gun of a tank that had just fallen from an exploding air plane.

Now fast forward to the recently (today) released trailer for "The Expendables". As if we don't have enough male testosterone floating around in the summer blockbusters this year, we actually get to witness some "old guys" do their thing. Now I will admit, during the viewing of "The Expendables" trailer I couldn't help but think, "I can't wait to see this". I was then surprised with the August release date (a month where the "bad" movies get relegated). Does someone know something I don't?

There is no doubt in my mind at this time, I have no care to see "The A-Team" however, I most definitely want to see "The Expendables". Besides the trailer for "The Expendables" just being better, the overall look is much more appealing. The title, I guess, gives a little bit of the movie away, but it feels like the characters in "The Expendables" actually have a chance to die as opposed to the obviously going to live A-Team. Drama speaks to me and "The Expendables" definitely seems to have the drama working for it. Even if it is just a crutch to show more gratuitous action. I also think the cast for "The Expendables" is much stronger and much more watchable if only because they give me that gritty feeling.

What say you, "The Expendables" or "The A-Team"?
