Battleship

406 Views 23 Posts Movie Chat
Okay so while having a look at the Real Steel thread, a few people mentioned battleship and Im like huh?! wha

So I ventured off to Youtube and low and behold. LOL!!!
Okay I understand people laughing at real steel but in the end that was a good movie. Could this movie actually be good or will the cries of YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP be heard as the abysmal reviews come flying in?

The trailer has been around for a while now but I've only just got wind of it!

Personally I think its going to come off like skyline therefore crap! Maybe just a tad better because it's got Liam neeson. The location and special effects look mint though.


Are they finding it hard to come up with ideas now? Surely risk or the settlers of catan or snakes and ladders would have had more of a storyline ;)

But hey maybe I'm wrong and there's a real need for movies like this?
You've got movies like Farmville and angry birds apparently in the planning stages...

Maybe it is possible, they made the social network movie happen LOL
If Real Steel is anything to go by, I would rather look at a brick wall

yeah but real steel isn't based on a board game like Battleship.
It's based on those Rock 'em Sock 'em robot toys

maybe... but officially its based on the 1956 short story "Steel" by Richard Matheson.
Looks cool.
My first reaction is to file this in the "can't possibly be good" section. My second reaction is to wonder how long until we get a film based on the "Operation" board game.
mousetrap could make a good animated kids movie i reckon.
Ehem. en.wikipedia.org/...

Not based on the game, but surely they couldn't make another, it's practically what you would expect from a 'Mouse Trap' movie.

Animated could be interesting. Then you have Ratatouille to compete with.

Looks awful.

Wonder if its got that line 'You sunk my battleship!!!!'
I thought it was enjoyable for the popcorn movie it is, loaded with CGI. Has all kinds of problems, but it's hard to expect anything more from this kinda movie. If there is a sequel, I'd like to see them expand the role of the actual aliens.
Yeah, they were actually suprisingly really damn cool.
Very Mass Effect esque, I'd love to see more of the Aliens.
The only film has a Cowboys vs. Aliens stink about it. How does it compare to that god-awful film?
I reckon this was better entertainment than C&A. Not as talky and didn't take itself nearly as serious as C&A did.
Going to go see it tonight. Haven't been to the movies much lately, only twice in the last month, so decided I'd go check this out.

I wanted to see Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, but sadly the ppl I'm going with want action, not drama.

Seems to always be that way nowadays. :P
It was alright. I'd give it a 3/5.

It took a bit too long to get going, felt like an hour had passed before the aliens even showed up. But the movie succeeded in its cast and in the end it become a Transformers with better, more likable cast. It really was its strongest element. And the action wasn't bad either, especially the final sea battle.

I'd see a sequel.
Is there a "you sunk my battleship" line? I can picture Liam Neeson saying it.
God I want to see this. I watched the previews at the cinema last week and it looked sooooooo awesome.

LOL, nope.

Liam Neeson is barely in the movie. I reckon he'd say, at most, 20 words in the film.
