Review of Battleship (2012) by Knicksfan7 — 18 May 2012

Honestly, I think we can all agree that its pretty impossible to make a good film based off of the board game Battleship. When I first heard about it I thought it was ridiculous....and it was. This film had countless flaws, all lead by the horribly written script.

My god this movie was corny. I can tell at some points it was meant to be cheesy, but not the entire film. Even the moments that were meant to be dramatic and we were supposed to feel for the characters, I just didnt, it was laughable.

The acting was atrocious, Brooklyn Decker is a gorgeous woman but she cannot act to save her life and same with Rihanna, although it was her first film so we can give her a little break, but while I enjoyed Taylor Kitsch in John Carter, he just seemed like a tool in this movie, I only felt anger towards his character.

When I first saw the trailer and the cast for the film, I thought "well Liam Neeson can probably carry the movie" but his character probably only had a total of 5 minutes of screen time which I have to say was very disappointing.

I didn't expect this movie to be good in the first place because the concept of it is just ridiculous so I think i've bashed it enough. The only positives in this movie were the action (which was sub-par at best) and Brooklyn Deckers chest.

2/10 Wait for it to be in Redbox or on Netflix, not worth the admission price.
