    Fun Summer Movie!

    by Swushly

    Our family liked this movie! (family= mom, dad, almost 8 year old boy) We didn't go into it expecting a compelling story or great acting so weren't disappointed. The special effects and blow em' up scenes were great! Our 8 year old was a little scared during some of the suspenseful scenes and by the look of the big alien ships and freaky alien guys. We like this genre of movie so enjoyed it.

    Definitely worth a peak

    by

    So I went into this movie knowing it was based on a 2 foot piece of black plastic I had growing up. They did a surprisingly good job though. Rihanna does not ruin the movie like I thought she would. Had some awesome CGI, great action scenes, a plot that actually made some sense. Taylor Kitsch (John Carter) did a pretty damn good job in my honest opinion. They actually took quite a few bits from the board game and incorporated those into the movie, and most of them fit pretty well.

    If you enjoyed any of the Transformers series at all, definitely go check this out.

    Cheers!

    AWESOME patriotic SPECTACLE..

    by DBizKid

    Exceeding my expectations and came out truly enjoying this fine epic film. Film Critics never rate positive military film highly so it was no surprise to find this film "Battleship" an awesome spectacle. Pure American military patriotism on display and carried out with a fine cast and terrific special effect and computer animation. Take the family. It really has nothing to do with the board game and I suppose since its not politically correct to use Muslin or Terrorists, or Russian as the enemy you wind up using aliens and the title "battleship" has to do more with the ship used in the last battle sequence which lasts about one hour on screen. Truly marvelous spectacle getting the shaft from some film critics and evidently influencing others not to go see the film. This film deserves an audience. So this Memorial Day take the family and check out this enjoyable entertaining film. You will like it.

    Fun, but thats all it can be.

    There's only so much you can do with a board game movie with navel warships and space aliens. Had it been released on a later summer date it might have had a better opening weekend.

    Better than I expected

    by sgam76

    Now, I know the whole point of this kind of movie is the big bangs and machismo, and it had plenty of that. But it also had fairly good plot, and for the most part was well-acted (they have a goodly number of real sailors included, as well as a group of older vets who get a critical part in the movie). Granted, there are some real leaps of logic (who here believes that a battleship that's been a floating museum for ten years actually still has live shells and powder magazines on board? Show of hands, please?) But they're not something you just can't ignore and they don't spoil the movie as it stands. And who knew--Rihanna actually does a pretty good job as an actress, and never takes off her clothes or puts on lip gloss once.

    Lots of fun!

    by bpharr1

    Really enjoyed the movie, even though most "professional" reviewers gave it a thumbs down.
    Lots of explosions, special effects, etc. All of which makes for a fun Friday evening with my family.

    Great movie

    There was a lot of action, a nicely woven storyline into the action, and an overall great movie. There was definitely a lot of battles and thrills throughout the movie!

    At first I wasn't going to see this movie but I am glad I saw it on the big screen.

    by ekvegas

    This movie was great. No social redeeming values, no moral quagmires. Just Earth has been invaded and we must save it. The sly reference to the Hasbro game were funny when you spotted them. Go see this movie with popcorn and your friends that like to cheer out loud for the good guys.

    Battleship

    I thought it was a very good movie. It was very entertaining and that's what movies should be...entertaining. It was exciting and had humor as well. I will most likely but this DVD when it comes out.
