Yeah, all those boobs and butts and stuff, so asexual.

This movie seems so brainless and hopefully features a lot of shit being blown up that I'd like to see it, but ticket prices in Germany are ridiculous. I'm not paying a ton of money to make fun of a campy movie and watch explosions.

She hardly has boobs.

No. I just can't do this again. I won't. My friends tricked me into seeing Transformers 2, talked about how funny and awesome the twins were on the way home and generally just killed a little bit of me.

Never again.

I know that feeling, bro.

I was expecting something of a good movie with lots of action.

Instead, I don't think I'd ever been more pissed off watching a movie.

This is, quite possibly, the most comical out-of-context movie poster I have ever seen. Seriously, it looks like an entry in one of those cracked.com fake poster contests.

By the way, does bragging in the trailers and posters that this movie was produced by the same guys who produced Transformers really get asses in the seats?

I imagine a lot of moviegoers are not completely clear on how a movie gets made and what a producer actually does. Putting the Transformers name on the poster might make people think that the "Transformers guys" were more involved with making the movie than they actually are.
 
I hate it when you want to find out a music track being played in a trailer and you don't know how to do so. Google reveals nowt. :(

Seriously want to know what the track is in this 3rd trailer.

Can't wait for the film. 3 weeks!
 
i loved the time when brainless action movies had story gore and genuine action.now a days action movies are mostly boring ed transformer 3
 
Lots of fun, well shot, great VFX, impressive action, really funny, the tone is actually totally parodic (voluntarily of course), and everyone seem like they're having a good time, Kitsch is great, funny (love the intro to his character), charismatic ; Skarsgard is very good too, Neeson is as always: classy, Asano is great, Rihanna is okay, Plemons "Landry" is damn fine.

Just a lot of fun, impressive action pieces, especially the ending, nice designs for the aliens'

B+
 
Rihanna you didn't lose enough respect for getting back together with that asshole Chris Brown you had to go and participate in this movie. Has good participation from the Friday Night Lights peeps though. Conflicted.
 
Damn, it doesn't even sound fun. I hate it when films like this are too long for their own good. Transformers 3 was like this too.

But I want to put my mouth on rihanna's mouth so I'm conflicted.
 
Yeah he's usually a decent director and he is responsible for FNL.

I don't know what he was doing with this one. Too busy chasing dat Transformers money.
 
You know I don't know anyone in real life that wants to see this and I probably have the broiest of bros as friend compared to most of gaf.
 
See the film before saying it's a POS, it's far better than the Transformers movies, and if you're not a snobby film critic who can't seem to enjoy a pop corn movie without being ridiculously overcritical, it is a lot of fun, and it's just completely parodic in tone.
 
Talk about low standards...
I'll probably go see it tonight, but everything about it looks insanely derivative. If there isn't a twist towards the end revealing this actually takes place in the Transformers universe I'll be very disappointed.
 
Like promised my quick review of battleship.

let me start of by saying I loved the movie. It was everything I expected it to be. Explosion filled fun ride of action!

Some notes:
- The story is as simple as it can be: Aliens come to earth, want to destroy human kind
- The CGI is awesome
except for a bridge collapsing
- The lines can be cheesy as hell, but that just adds to the fun. I didn't hear the line 'Fire the weapons!! Which one? ALL OF THEM' which made me sad though.
- The music is cheesy as hell too. Navy prepping up = AC DC playing in the background to let us know they're going to fuck some shit up!
- Rihanna did an OK job, she's clearly the 'ghetto' person in the bunch, didn't matter to me though?
- Starts of slow and suddenly the music starts playing and it flashes "Battleship" on the screen. Was an 'oh its on now' moment :p
- The love story was totally unnecessary but who cares, it takes 10 minutes of screen time.
- Yes it's predictable, but I didn't mind.
- Lots and lots of explosions!!!

Some spoilers below about things I had questions about, but didn't really thought much about.
- Why didn't the aliens attack the humans if they want to kill them anyway?
- Why wouldn't the aliens wear their helmets inside their ship?
- How can that no-legged black guy take on a huge alien like that?
- Why did the aliens come and take back their friend from the ship?
- Why didn't the scientist contact the US army to let them know about the aliens wanting to contact home so they could destroy the satelite?

I give this movie a 9/10. Don't go in expecting dialogue written by shakespear and a story that will keep you pondering for weeks about the true meaning. It's just a big ass action movie with explosions which I love. If you like those kind of movies, this is a must see!

Ofcourse I'm not a critic with refined taste (Insert biggest LOL smiley you've ever seen here).

PS: movie was packed, I expect it to make good money!
 
^Agreed, it was pretty good.

Pros:

-took their time to build the characters, and they were all likeable, even the comic relief ones
-....oh. Battleships are... pretty cool
-lots of explosions, yes, but I never felt like shutting off my brain or dozing off like with Transformers 3
-boobies
-Liam Neeson

Cons:

-what's Rihanna doing here?
-LG smartphone
-not enough boobies
 
Aw, damnit, I was just about to ask about the boobies, because I swore this wasn't rated R. Now I'm not so sure if I want to watch this now.
 
Saw this last night, it was awesome.

Rihanna's character was pretty annoying.

I wish they hinted a part 2 or something. :/
 
It's the climax of the movie. The Battleship is sunk, Liam Neeson is pissed off.

He stands on the last remaining piece of the ship, in front of the main enemy carrier, and screams ferociously "YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP!".

You Gentlemen are the reason will get films like this. Films based on a FUCKING BOARD GAME.

What have we become as a cinema going audience? Going to see films based on a board game that has no narrative and even less brand recognition, mindlessly lapping it up like pigs gorging in a trough. Happily swallowing whatever is slopped in front of us.

If this film is a genuine hit anyone who is even half considering pursuing a career in the film industry should just give it up. If this film does become a success it's all over. The studio system would have finally imploded in upon itself.

Also I'm going to burn down your houses tonight as you sleep......







j/k about the house burning......, sort of.
