Review of Battle: Los Angeles (2011) by Nicholas S — 02 Dec 2012

Ok where do I start with this one!!! Ok after such a great trailer, the movie itself was such a disappointment! It had the most cheesy dialogue I've seen since in ages! The action was all over the place as in that stupid shaky camera style that everyone has adopted since the Bourne movies and it didn't even work in those films!!! You couldn't really see the aliens as the camera wouldn't stop moving.

Aaron Eckhart did not bring his A game to this movie!! He had some of the most cheesy dialogue! That speech he did near the end about losing soldiers in battle, OMG!!!! Michelle Rodriguez was hardly in the movie and when she was, it was mainly in those shaky scenes.

Don't even get me started on Ramon Rodriguez!!! What was the point of him being in this film!! I would have enjoyed his role more if he just suddenly started dancing like he did at that party in Transformers 2.

I mean come on Hollywood!! Just make a good alien attack movie for once. I shouldn't bitch too much though as there was like 15 minutes of quite good action in it e.g. the freeway attack but then that's like 15 minutes out of 2 hours and it seemed like the longest 2 hours of my life!!! Avoid this one in the cinema if you can.

Either Lovefilm it or wait till it comes on tv.
