Do you really need to follow every twist and turn during a movie? Do u like to watch something that is just fun? A movie that makes u feel good just because u enjoyed watching it? Give it a whirl and I think u will be pleasantly suprised. Easy to follow, looks good on the screen and its just fun without numbing your brain on details and plots way to thick to wade thru in 2 hrs. Relatively family friendly and a enjoyable watch. I'll even give it two thumbs up
Ha! I watched this tonight as well. It was entertaining, but not amazing. Better than I expected though. There were quite a few random actors in it and really the only one that I didn't like was the legless Army officer (who actually is a real-life Army Colonel), but I suppose his portrayal was accurate. I really did like how they managed to get the "Battleship" element worked into the movie. It was fairly ingenious.
I thought Battle Los Angeles did it better to be honest, Battleship tried way too hard to ride on Transformers coattails. I will say though, the scene where they're getting the USS Missouri all fired up and ready to go to the tune of Thunderstruck, was pretty awesome.
battleship was transformers, with out the benefit of having the transformers in it. It wasn't the worst movie i've seen all year, but it surely was the the dumbest.
hasbro to make movie about ships fighting ships? you know? like the game? not easily killable ships, that did nothing to us, except retaliate! don't get me wrong, i enjoyed the film. i just enjoyed it for it's LOL factor. lol
The only thing that bothered me in this movie was the scene where the aliens and the destroyers first met. Why didn't the aliens shoot the last destroyer when they had the chance? But I enjoyed the transformers movies, so I enjoyed this one by default.
To be fair, the concept of making a movie about the battleship game is outrageous, and given their scope of limitations, I think they nailed it. It wasn't very good, but it was much more fun that most of the "critically acclaimed masterpieces of art" that Hollywood tries to shove down our throats. I'd watch it again, but I certaily wouldn't buy it. Yeah that Burrito scene was actually pretty good.
I didn't like it. Personally I thought it should have been a cg animated comedy like despicable me or shreck.
A lot of you are trying to psycho analyze it. If you do what I said its a good watch, never said great. I did find myself thoroughly enjoying it, watch it, enjoy it and go on about your day. Story wise and making sense it had better writing than Transformers. The scenes with the Missouri were awesome. People don't truly realize what those ships did and what they could do.
You know the feeling when you watch a movie that's hyped as "the greatest", and then you watch it thinking it's gonna be awesome, then it falls short because the hype was just too unrealistic? Well, Battleship is the opposite. Movie was supposed to be "trash" and I saw it with low expectations, and the movie ends up being a whole lot better then what people said. So, yeah, I enjoyed Battleship.
I went in expecting a comedy, or at least a film that didn't take it self serious, but... I can't tell, I just can't tell, I did not enjoy it, at all.
If they took out the subplot with Brooklyn Decker, that legless guy, and the annoying computer guy, the movie would have been much better. I thought the first half-hour was pretty good and the burrito scene was hilarious. The ending when they get the old Navy soldiers and their battleship to help them was awesome too. The special effects were good and the acting was surprisingly not horrendous. The soundtrack was great too. I think the movie would have been better if Liam Neeson was inside the force field with Taylor Kitsch so they have to work together and he sees the change in his character firsthand. I would give it a six out of ten.
That absolutely was the best scene in the entire move. Apparently it was based off of a real dumbass that did something similar which was caught on security cameras (he fell through the ceiling twice as well).
When it plays on the Movie Network up in Canada i'll watch it...until then I refuse to pay to watch this.
