and what else can be done? You go to the movies to be entertained but I guess some people just can't let themselves go for 2 hours and enjoy whats on the screen because it wasn't written like they would of written it. I liked the aliens HALO type armor they wore and the wrecking ball/drilling metal munching destroying things were the sickness. That was one hell of a way to chew up a ship and spit it out, thought that was great. My kids loved it and my father got choked up over the veterans part. His father is from that era and fought in Guam I was just happy to get away from the busy/nasty daily grind we all sometimes endure and let myself go. I wouldn't see it again at the full price but will for sure go to the dollar movies and buy it when it comes out on DVD.

when i watched the trailers. A few days ago, reading the bad reviews really lowered my expectation. I decided not to waste my money on this. Yesterday two of my friends, who are not big fans of action movies, told me that this movie is OK, not a disaster! So i thought, "what the heck, let's give it a shot." Today i watched this movie and it TOTALLY made my day! While watching this movie i was actually waiting for bad parts. Surprisingly, i was entertained the whole time! Especially the action scenes made me go, "Oh My God! Damn! Holy S***!" You have to watch it to believe it... trust me, it's THAT Awesome! This movie doesn't have Megan fox but Brooklyn Decker is no less hotter! I expected bad acting from Rihanna but surprisingly she was OK! This is my first movie review. When i saw the bad reviews, i couldn't wait to write a good one, this movie deserves it! If you are an action movie fan and you are wondering whether you should watch this movie or not, then I strongly recommend that you do. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as i did. Cheers!

and see it for yourself. I seriously didn't expect how much fun I had watching it.

Day at sea but when the film is made well, that's no bad thing. It doesn't have the misogynism of Michael Bay/Transformers and it is way less jingoistic than Independence Day which can feel slightly uncomfortable if you're not American. All in all, it is definitely a guilty pleasure. You know you shouldn't enjoy it as much as you do, but you cant help it, it's funny, loads of thrills and stuff blowing up, has a real charm to it and is played very well with what could have been quite clunky dialogue.

itself didn't contain that scene but one of the early trailers stated that he went from private to major in shortest time ever . There are some famous characters. There is an old school twist at the end HINT: battleship . There is even character progression. I think those are quite important aspects of a good action movie and they nailed them.Now, this movie is NOT: an accurate representation of an alien invasion, a movie that makes you think about your own existence for months after, a deep psychological drama. It contains MANY mismatches and hiccups that do not connect with the plot, mostly because of certain deleted scenes. Yes, it makes no sense for police to arrive in three cars and leave one behind. Yes, it does not make any sense to miss battle ship parked near the island or continental shore with full crew. What was important is that it didn't ruin the story and me discuss those little things after the movies.Bottom line: The movie has a solid naval warfare along with some interesting but simple characters. On the weak side it had a lot of mismatches with a plot mostly due to cut scenes. Overall, the experience is rather pleasant and complete with a fair ending.

She was there, she didn't try to chew the scenery, she did her job as an actor/secondary character and it didn't bother me. I give her kudos3. lost in translation? - you try to make a game into a movie and you want to put parts of them game in it? Not easy, a little cheesy? Of course, but fun? Yes, fun, enjoyable, and in the end it was a part of the story that wasn't as forced as it could have been. So in conclusion, "Battleship" is a fun, corny, typical summer movie that I like but as you see a lot of people didn't. I think it is a guilty pleasure, something to be enjoyed by the few but annoyed by the rest. In the end I can only suggest this - go in with low expectations, expect a little over the top patriotism like in "Act of Valor" but not so heavy , and don't think about it. The movie is not without its flaws or questionable logic, but as it was said so well in another movie - "I suggest you don't think about it and just enjoy the ride"

Absolutely, but is it fun, oh yeah - go and see it; it's the panned movie that is a hidden gem for those that don't care too much about plot but just love a good show.

come in contact with the naval fleet.The story-line is nothing new but how it played out was great and a joy to behold! It shows both sides of the story, not just the Humans but the Aliens' point of view too, this is what was quite unique about it and makes it different to all the other crappy action films out there e.g Transformers 2 and 3. There are a few clichés in there but it didn't really bother me as I wasn't expecting it to be so original. The plot, in the end, as you all should be able to tell is quite predictable overall but did have some nice surprises.The acting all around was great. Taylor Kitsch was good, I've heard about him before but I've never actually seen any of his movies but he was good in this one. Liam Neeson, for the parts he was in, was fantastic as he always is. Rihanna wasn't as bad as I thought she was going to be and considering this is her first movie I think she did OK. I mean, she was watchable, I guess.Peter Berg did a fantastic job directing this movie, he used a wide range of camera angles to show us everything that was going on. The sound fx and design was astounding and the soundtrack by Steve Jablonsky was superb too. All in all I think that Battleship isn't as original as a film like Inception but it's still a great summer blockbuster and it's definitely worth watching on the big screen. 7.5/10
