I want to say I don't believe this because it is far to stupid, but that means it is likely true.
Wait, Battleship is actually good? o_O

Yeah they do,
I mean two US Navy ships and one Japanese ship were destroyed, as was parts of Hong Kong and Oahu, but the humans not only destroyed the alien craft on Earth, but also stopped the transmissions that would've allowed more to come. I'm sure the one sole craft that remained at the end of the movie wouldn't have been that big of a deal to defeat, especially since it still had no way to communicate with it's home world.
Cause it's my guess and it seems everyone on Gaf hates the movie.
Im shocked there are two people in this movie saying this movie was good.
Did you guys watch some weird version where the opening scene of John Carter trying to rob a chicken burrito was actually the whole movie? Because thats the only situation I can think of where this movie would be decent.
Its not even a Transformers situation where the movie is so big and dumb that you can just revel in how big and dumb it is.

I'm thinking... Neo-Cold War military strategy film where a nuke is launched whenever 4 is connected.

Or a sequel to this.
Battlefield 2: We still won't tell you the aliens motivations are, but cheer when they die even though they come off as less hostile than the humans okay
They wanted to play Battleship.
I'm waiting for the Don't Wake Daddy movie, about an abusive father who starves his children.

Guess Who: An amnesiac cop must work out who the perp is from a police line-up, to avoid being thrown off the case and not being able to care for his young daughter and bed-ridden wife.
I know this is extremely lazy, but I'll just copy/paste my comments from the other thread:

Adam Sandler is doing Candy Land. No lie.
Oh I knew since early 2011 from a Hasbro press release.

What pissed me off about the movie was how the whole thing was basically all the main character's fault
But then for some reason he gets a medal anyway. The whole time all I could think of was 'America, fuck yeah'.
Death of his brother etc. I mean, they fired back because he started attacking! He started it!!
But... he has an American accent in interviews etc.
just saw this movie...it was awesome!
going into i didn't read any reviews, although i knew it got bad ones. i went in just expecting good effects at the least. but the whole movie turned out great.
-the plot, characters and main character, and dialogue was solid. funny parts were actually funny.
-the special effects were niiiice, and the substantial action was really surprising, i was expecting low budget and small scale but nope.
-it actually has discernible influences from the board/real life game itself. things such ashow they used water displacement buoys to make a grid and find the opponent ships, and also how the opponent/alien ships' missiles actually look like the pins you use in the board game. that was a nice touch.
-the enemy/opposing force designs were well done.
-i liked how the enemy,since they were supposed to be from an earth like planet, they look humanoid with realistic hands. like i could see how if our evolution was different we might have those hands and it would be practical. also liked how it was implied (imo) they were water creatures that could go on land whereas we are earth creatures that can go on water. its the reasoning behind why they are more sensitive to sunlight, and have water based vehicles. also, since our planet is 70% water its a good reason for them to come and take over.
only negative is whenbut that's not too big of a deal.the main character's brother dies he doesn't show as much emotion as i would have liked.
why didn't anyone else like it?
watch the movie!!
no kidding, i liked it too. surprised me. better than transformers, despite the comic relief of
the old timers and the battleship.
Pictionary: A detective must find a killer only by going off of pictures drawn by a mute child who witnessed the crime.
In any other movie, that could quite possibly be the dumbest thing about it. He gets into a fight with a Japanese captain and lays him out in the fucking bathroom. He should have been arrested then. But no, they let him go on and keep his command for the games. And then they give him a motherfucking medal and a promotion AND a fucking command of his own? Fuck this movie.
Honestly, how? The action was terrible. The direction was fucking god awful. The characters were even dumber than any of the Transformers films. There were plot holes large enough to drive -- I mean hop since these fuckers can't fucking fly for whatever reason -- a fucking alien ship through. There wasn't even the fanboy attachment to hang onto.

Bop It: A young detective must infiltrate a drug ring, who are using the underground "bop" scene as a front. To earn the trust of the ring's leaders, and get the information his superiors need to shut down their evil scheme, this undercover cop must learn the art of bopping it- mastering when to twist, flick, pull, spin and, of course, bop.
Yeah, I had a lot of questions regarding the movie as well. Why was Rihanna's character in the room at the time when the alien was being unmasked? Surely in real life with an event so classified a second class petty officer wouldn't be allowed anywhere near that, same probably goes for that chief. Also, why did the lieutenant run all the way from midships on the John Paul Jones to the edge of the fantail before jumping by a highly dangerous(and still spinning) propeller, instead of jumping off at midships like everyone else was?
And I'm sorry, but the lieutenant would've had some lasting damage to his hearing or worse after being in such close proximity to that shot from the 5-inch gun.

Excuse my ignorance because I haven't seen the film but I ask this with every alien invasion film. Why don't they just nuke us from orbit?

Hasbro. . .Them greedy sons of bitches
I was on Post a month or two ago and covered an event that included firing a small howitzer. I was about 15-20 feet away and I still have ringing in my ears from time to time. He would be full-on deaf if he was that close when they fired that gun. And I didn't even think about it at first until Xia, who funny enough worked on the film for ILM, pointed it out in the other thread. I can safely say this is quite possibly the worst big budget film I've ever seen.
These are aliens so fucking stupid they send only five vessels across the entire galaxy to our planet, crash into a fucking satellite like a bunch of fucking idiots and land in the highest concentration of naval military might. If they tried to nuke us from orbit, they'd probably blow up their own fucking ships out of sheer incompetency.
A research team stranded in the Antarctic sends out a distress beacon and suddenly goes dark. Satellite photos show a gaping hole where the base used to be. A rescue mission is formed to find out what happened and to locate any survivors. Rod Eagle, a former Alaskan oilfields roughneck is recruited to lead. His orders: "Get there, save whoever you can. But whatever you do...Don't Break the Ice."
It will probably be a glorious trainwreck though. Like Jack and Jill and that new Sandler movie that looks awful.
Trivial Pursuit- An explorer is searching for an ancient artifact, split into six pieces across the world. However the pieces are bound by sacred questions of knowledge - each with an answer more difficult and obscure than the last. It will take all of this explorer's cunning and brainpower as he spans the globe in this trivial pursuit.
that could be good

Beyblades with cursing and partial nudity.
3D Space Cats Pokahantis did this to me as well. Everyone has different tastes and everyone takes things in differently at different times. Hell I enjoyed Silent Hill in theaters then I watched it a few years ago and wondered what the fuck I was thinking the first time.
I could see the ending after the credits working. Perhaps a little contrary to what the movie set up, but not entirely unbelievable.
I found it odd that one satellite does so much damage, are they really that big? the alien ships in the movie look huge
that is like actually kind the plot to the last Indiana Jones. It is also something that is a conspiracy in the real world
the thing with the skull is that, they claim there is like 10 or some number amount of skulls hiding, and something apparently happens when you get all of them together in one place.....this is actually a myth. but I think they have found like one to two skulls

It tried to be Battle: LA at Sea and failed horribly. I'm a sucker for Alien Invasion movies and this was too much

I didn't understand the after credit scene at all. What's going on!?!?
Their weakness should have been the singing of a female pop star (a la Robotech). Then Rihanna's casting would have made some sense.
(Full disclosure: I have not seen Battleship . . . yet.)

man i genuinely enjoyed it, i really think people who haven't seen it should go with an open mind without bad reviews affecting their judgement/expectations.
it wasn't just the satellite,
was it the main charac's fault? wasn't
i was afraid of the 'america, fuck yeah' thing too but was pleasantly surprised when
it wasn't just the satellite,
it was an entire ship too that crashed with it.
was it the main charac's fault? wasn't
his brother the one that ordered the warning shot? also, when the alien communicated with the main character by touch i think we saw they pretty much planned to take over the planet anyways
i was afraid of the 'america, fuck yeah' thing too but was pleasantly surprised when
Japan won the soccer game tournament and also it was the japanese captain who took over and led that battleship attack strategy

George Clooney is Professor Peter Britton, who leads a gang of misfit English department academics to infiltrate Webster's Dictionary headquarters and alter the language itself, so that a newly-passed law won't lead to widespread chaos. But that's crazy! No... that's Balderdash! Summer 2013.
