...it's like if they rolled all of Micheal Bay's bad movies into one. And got the guy who did Hancock to direct. And it's based on a BOARD GAME.

...If anyone wants me, I'll be banging my head against my bedroom wall.

For every reasonably good movie, you get a dozen of this shit.

That's why I've stopped bothering with any of them.

This is one movie based off of a board game that was fantastic.


Battleship, however, will not join its ranks.

I am sure he will buy a nice house with his proceeds from that movie.

Micheal Caine had the habit of taking crap roles just for the money.

Did you guys watch it? It looks like an aliens style movie. I'll give it a chance until reviews come out.

I watched it. Everyone involved deserves a dozen nut-shots.

The execs that green-lighted this? Shot at dawn.

OK, so maybe the movie won’t be awesome, exactly. At least not for anyone looking for anything Oscar-worthy. But we’ll bet that if you’re a fan of Transformers (nothing wrong with that), then “Battleship” is almost certainly right up your alley.

Yeah, that pretty much seals it up.

Were those black and yellow bullet/grenade type thingies purposefully shaped to look like the board game pegs?

Because if not, the trailer definitely needed red and white plastic pegs...

It looks ridiculously stupid and VERY forced to get the game's concept into the movie.

That said, as absolutely stupid and dumb it'll no doubt be, I may actually see it in theatres. Can't be any worse than any of the Transformers movies.

Yeah, I saw that and immediately took a pass on seeing this movie. It's merely pop culture fodder.

Gore Verbinsky is apparently going to remake it:

...this MIGHT be good. Better hope it doesn't fall into development hell.

Oh man, Clue was awesome... but the game itself actually had something reassembling a plot...

So.... basically it is a navel battle between advance alien ships and U.S. Navy.

And happen to be named Battleship.

Why not.

I don't know about you guys but I always liked playing the aliens in battlesh... wait.

From the looks of the trailer, it looks more like the aliens are going to make the U.S. and Japanese fleets involved in the exercise fight each other. Which casts the players of the game as the aliens, thoughtlessly murdering hundreds of people for their amusement.
