Just like they did at Midway! The Navy was all like "Lookit this Hiro! No hands!" And the IJN was all like "LOL Wut?". And the Brits were all like "Brilliant!". And the Canadians were all like "Beer?". And the KM was all like "Vy cannot our ships do zat?! Schmetterling!!!" And the Navy was all like "Nya nya! Bet you guys can't hang ten off the bow, either. Losers!" And then the shells started flying (American shells. No Japanese shells because the Japanese were totally amazed by our genius and couldn't shoot back.) and we sank, like, the whole fleet and saved the world. LOL That was awesome.

Does it? Reminds me of the old joke: They told me to cheer up; things could be worse. So I cheered up and sure enough, things got worse!

I remember going to a freinds house, whom was at odds with his wife, came in sat down for a couple of minutes, and got up and left, on my way to the door they asked why I was leaving, I said, "when I came here I was really down in the dumps and lonely, man I feel much better now."

Hey, that anchor trick(it's known as Club Hauling and is a REALLY old trick) at least shows they did their homework..
I for one enjoyed the movie and would say it's a solid B ,movie, B+ if you are paying attention to the scattered details. The acting was good from all, although the main character actually was not far from pulling the next Chris Pine IMO. Rihanna had superb acting for her debut- her role in the plot could have been enhanced but it was not bad. As for the Aliens- they needed more done with them, as they show a human-side to them, through one's flashbacks- their engagement decisions, etc. What got my gears? None of the Destroyers or the Kongo-Class ship bothering to get some Standard Missiles going at the enemy artillery. Phalanx sure had no trouble engaging- where's the rest? Where were the SSN's? Aside from that, you know this movie is looking like there will be a sequel. The love-story plot is an attempt at the type of humor Transformers tried- Not sure how they can adjust that. There were a few huh's ? Plot wise, but it had moments when it shone- such as hammering out the message that you can serve your country even when your condition would stereotypically make others assume otherwise- or that you can step up to a role, even if you yourself never thought you could(the main character). Besides, I wasn't going to miss this one-sure it's made by Hasbro, but we need more live-action films showing the extent of the modern US navy(hard to do when you need to find an opponent, and the Russians and Chinese aren't options due to the international market for films.) You can turn your brain off for this movie, or you can do what I do and try to see through it all- you might find some substance. Battleship isn't completely devoid of it, and that shocked me. For the Sequel though, it'll all be script-dependent, I can say that right now. |

So is the movie based on actual events?
I saw someplace it was based on the game Battleship. I can't wait for the movie based on "Chutes and Ladders." That should be a thriller.
