Best I can tell the screenwriters, when the Execs busted into the writer's room screaming about Hasbro and aliens and WWII vets, simply had a seizure at the idea and didn't receive any proper medical attention while they were writing it. There is no rational reason why this film should be a minute over 90, "You sunk my Battleship!" is never said, and a movie full of sailors let two F-bombs splash in the water. I can't wait for the Risk movie, which will drive us further into madness.

If this movie had an IQ it would be in the single figures. If it had legs, it would put its shoes on the wrong feet, & lets all hope it never spawns any sequel-like mentally challanged offspring. But fuck it, I didn't hate it! It's impossible to watch this movie and not be stunned a how moronic it is, but partly because of its stupidity & partly because of the entertaining effects & Brooklyn Deckers breasts, it does have its moments where it will entertain. Shamefully enjoyable!

Better and worse than expected. Unfortunately, it's worse in all the areas that matter, and it excels somewhat only in special effects. I knew something was terribly wrong when I caught myself thinking things like "I really wish I was watching Transformers 3" and "at least Transformers had heart". Transformers really doesn't have any heart. The existence of this film is as disturbing after having seen it as ever, even though it does a few things right. Kitsch isn't terrible.

Probably the most expensive goof movie ever made, in which a bunch of idiots save the world by winning a life sized game of Battleship against alien invaders. It's packed with so many cheesy lines, genre cliches and over the top military porn, that it's much more entertaining when viewed as a parody of action flicks rather than an action flick in its own right. Silly enough to satisfy, but it was way too long and no one said the line "You sunk my battleship". Opportunity missed.

Four white boys who escaped poverty and abusive fathers by joining the military wrap an american flag over the coffin of one of countless unnamed and disenfranchised soldiers. Forty years later the flag is exhumed by a transformer who has just taken an uncontrollable shit and is used to wipe its ass, resulting in the script of this movie. As wastes of money go, this film is second only to the american military.

Ugh. This movie was full of so much dumb, but what I feel makes it the most unenjoyable is that it never crosses the line into "so bad it's good" or even "so bad it's at least moderately entertaining" at all. It just hovers there in this nebulous area of suck that just makes you angry instead of amused and you wonder why you're even wasting your time. The only thing that made this even tolerable for me was watching it with friends. Liam Neeson, WHY WERE YOU THERE?!

Rapidly paced blockbusters like this are almost always a half hour too long, and this is no exception. The endearing flippancy of its premise starts to run dry over time, and the effects, though impressive, become redundant. It starts out interestingly enough, but the aliens' motives become so muddled and the pro-military stance so ridiculous (and I realize this may be getting into Poe's law territory) that the conflict becomes a total slog. Taylor Kitsch deserves better.

I can forgive a movie for being stupid and cliche ridden (and, trust me, this movie is both). What I can't forgive is the lack of effort. Every single element is terrible, especially the cinematography; I've seen episodes of CSI that were shot better than this. If it weren't the (phoned in) presence of the bigger name actors, I would have thought I was watching an Asylum production. Worst of all, no one seems to be enjoying themselves - there isn't an ounce of fun in this film.

While easily dismissed as "giving too much credit", this seems slightly more clever than it appears: It's easily ignored/missed, but it's more than just hinted at that the motiviation of the aliens isn't quite what the patriotic knucklehead "heroes" assume it is, making it, along with every cliche turned to 11, somewhat of a send up of the genre and satire about american patriotism. Not great, but entertaining enough.

How this movie is not utterly and completely terrible is beyond me. I expected utterly unwatchable garbage and what I got was a standard summer blockbuster that was actually able to hold my attention through the film. No, it's not smart, it's not well acted but for some reason it's actually entertaining enough if you just want to watch a popcorn flick.

A pointedly anti-war film dressed up as a faux-propaganda film (Potemkin, anyone?), Battleship deserves your respect. Making the theme of the film essentially the same as the game it's based on (the idea of randomly shooting, hoping for a score) is, frankly, ingenious. A smart movie that will develop a following. Could have used another round of editing, though.

I never had high expectations for a feature film based on a board game, but this is bad. The legitimate first 20 minutes doesn't make any sense, as does pretty much the whole screenwriting. Because of this, there is no likable leads, as Kitsch isn't much of a factor here. It's best attribute is some of it's visuals. It is nice to look at, and the action is overall fine, but the whole aliens plot to this has nothing to do with Battleship as a whole. This should've been shelved.

For a movie based on the board game Battleship with aliens it's actually not bad. However, the thick layer of cheese and absolutely atrocious premise prevent it from ever being good. Berg's Battleship is somewhere between Transformers and a love-letter to the Navy, the former of which needn't ever be made and the latter of which too ridiculous to exist on screen in this capacity. Unsurprisingly, Brooklyn Decker can't act. Surprisingly, Rihanna can.

You have a big battleship doing improbable race car drifts on the high seas while launching WW2 era ordinance at aliens. The aliens travel light years to conquer earth but they don't seem to be resistant to 70 year old weaponry. Even though this is basically a Michael Bay ripoff it somehow manages to be less annoying than an actual Bay film which is an incredibly low bar achievement. It's flag waving circle jerk nonsense but not that bad because the CGI is stupidly fun mayhem.

Shitty acting, very tedious, really (!) bad writing. What really infurated me was the fact that those aliens didn't kill those fucking children. They deserved to die, but nooo, killing kids, holding a Subway milkshake and playing baseball, is sad and unholy. Boohoo. Also: 2 hours is seriously far too long for an Asylum-like movie, but with bigger budget. If they cut out the close-ups and the: "What is that" sentences, the movie would have had a running time of maybe 30 minutes.

I wept for the fate of humanity when I found out that this film is a hit at theaters. CGIs were impressive but the camera works (hint: lens flare + close up on faces) were overdone. The big issue with this film is that it seems so lacking in the emotion and intelligence department (massive plot holes and surprisingly unintelligent intelligent beings). That being said, some parts were entertaining. The parody with the chicken burrito was a highlight.

Yeah, the plot and the "mythology" and all that...let's just say it's pretty silly. And a little long. But also kind of fun scifi action trash most of the time. The action's execution was kinda hyperactive. But pretty to look at. Like a Michael Bay/Oliver Stone mix. And the aliens looked kinda dumb. Brooklyn Decker = pretty hot. Rihanna = pretty cool. Their characters' effect on the plot = close to 0. Jesse Plemons = funny, obiously. Erm...that's it. No further point here.

As one might expect from its Hasbro sponsorship, the film feels very vanilla. It has bland direction, a dated soundtrack, and acting that doesn't even feel like half its cast has SAG cards. It still feels more than anything like an update of and improvement on Independence Day. It really does work the board game into the plot in a novel, thematic way. I also loved the incredible irony of an unflaggingly pro-military film about joining the Navy and the joy of battle ending with "Fortunate Son."

Battleship was a near-insufferable mess of cringe-inducing stereotypes, terrible acting, and enough hopelessly confused subtext to sink an aircraft carrier. Unfortunately, you will have to wade through an hour and a half of pointless dialog to reach the best moment of the film, and then find your way back out, right after you find yourself in the middle of The Blindside, part II. A more disastrous example of an adapted summer blockbuster film there is not.

Vapid and silly actioner is probably as good a version of “Battleship: The Movie” as you could hope for, even if it sometimes feels like the Hoebers dusted off an ID4 sequel and inserted battleships; works best as a disaster movie throwback, especially when a hilariously mismatched Neeson and MacNicol are fighting like cats and dogs. The ship’s crew are a likable bunch, headlined by Rihanna who shows real potential as an action-movie bad-ass. No masterpiece, but still better than expected.

I did not want to see this film. Some friends put it on and there was a lot of talking and whatnot throughout that did help with some painfully mediocre dialogue. That said there was something queerly appealing about the film that did manage to engage on a fun level even if not an emotional one. Also of note, the old sailors were better actors than the actual actors, would have been better with just them.

You know what, with the 9/11 imagery, themes of miscommunication, and ambiguous enemies (mixed with possibly purposefully idiotic "AMERICA FUCK YEAH" music and moments), Battleship might actually be brilliantly subversive.

In Battleship, we see how the Navy fleet must compete against aliens who have supplied Earth's water supply. Trapped in an alien force field of more than 300 miles (480 km), 5 world ships and 5 alien ships face off against each other without any communication whatsoever in a battle for life - the fate of the world is at stake. Fighting like David and Goliath - is ingenuity, strategy and old-fashioned brawn enough to defeat the aliens?

Better than you'd think. A mashup of alien invasion and "life in this man's navy" material, Battleship is crisp, smartly made, and even throws in a little ambiguity as to just how "evil" the alien invaders are. It's not much more than a dumb action movie but as such it's well executed.

This is an immensely frustrating move. For most of the running time, it's a straight copy of the Independence Day/Armageddon formula done Transformers-style, but there are a bunch of little moments where they try to give the aliens humanity, mystery, and an existence beyond "generic xenophobic menace" - and both the characters and the plot go to terrible lengths to ignore these moments.

Much better than I expected but it still had some terrible parts. The lowest part of the movie was when Rihanna had this semi-lengthy monologue where she said her dad knew aliens would come. It was incredibly lame. Speaking of lame, why Aliens? I mean what in God's name were they thinking to link this awesome board game with aliens?! Couldn't it have been two friends engaged in battle on the high seas who commanded their own fleets? Oh well, this movie was still pretty fun, I love the navy.

Actually it's quite decent if you don't expect anything more then just silly film with aliens and navy destroying each other.

We don't really need more crappy Bay'esque movies; what we need are more 'Friday Night Lights' (2006-11)-esque series, so take a note Berg - "Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose!"; this one clearly lacked both - then maybe you'll take a bow again. *Preview*: #12#, exp-3*, popcorn, hype!, story, (director Berg, cast), R2.

So yeah, it's based on a Hasbro game that had nothing even closely resembling a plot. That's a lot of wiggle room. I'll easily admit that upon hearing about this I imagined a white battleship peg and scratched my head, but let's get over the game, shall we? It's a throw away action flick that strides neither ahead of, nor behind it's peers. Par for the course.

Obviously a huge, blown out of proportion blockbuster, but I liked it. The film was both entertaining and respectful of our military. Very underrated IMO.

Audiences "missed the boat" on this one! Yeah, maybe not an Academy Award winner, but a great time at the movies!

This suffocating bass-thumping bore of a science fiction action picture has been genetically engineered by studio heads to replicate the look, feel, and financial success of the Transformers series. Battleship doesn't work because it was a bad idea to begin with and because the skid marks on the script aren't whited out by the actors. Instead expensive F/X are used as stitches and an ear-banging sound mix as morphine in an effort to blind our eyes and numb our brains from this bloody mess.

Tiresome two-hour advert for the US Navy with some really awful cgi and fight scenes.

Not as terribly awful as I had expected, but still not good. Special effects looked stellar but that's thanks to Michael Bay's production team being put to use. The way they put to use the idea behind the game of "Battleship" was also kind of interesting.

Despite some truly retarded logic on the part of all our character (that the aliens are not gonna wonder what happened to their expedition team), this film doesn't fail to be highly entertaining. The aliens themselves are baller as fuck and it's fun to view the movie through their eyes. Rihanna is 2qt in this and hilariously one of the better actors.

Soulless summer movie fare. The love interest chick is played by a vacant-eyed model, one of the major male characters has the first name of Stone--like that. When it becomes clear that Earth's gonna be invaded by aliens, a shaggy-haired computer nerd intones, "This is like when Columbus met the Indians, only we're the Indians!" Geesh. The crowd I saw this with laughed really hard and said lots of mean things when the alien punched Rihanna in the face.

Hey now, I don't see why so many people dislike the film. It's nothing special but it has it's solid stuff and it entertained me. I wouldn't recommend it as a great film ofc but it's nice to watch if you just wanna lay back and be entertained by a not so intelligent but decently crafted action movie. The WW II veterans helping as they did in the fight against the aliens was cheesy but pretty fun for example. Hell if you want something better yet equally relaxed go watch Underworld(2003) instead.

Effects were impressive,but acting was crappy as hell and gosh, are those aliens wearing Tony Stark's production? :D Bonus for the soundtrack though.

In a 1988 novel entitled Hunter/Victim, the science fiction writer Robert Sheckley characterized some song lyrics as being “of semiotic interest, perhaps, but not much intellectual content.” This would be an apt description of this militaristic fantasy blockbuster.

there are some good action scenes but overall there isnt a single bit of originality; such a big disappointment... lizard eyed ultra-high-tech aliens getting into fist fights, titanic moment of 2 captains, bad jokes, absolutely cheesy intro of 30 minutes, etc etc
