Battleship
« on: May 21, 2012, 08:58:41 PM »
Saw it with my friend tonight, was impressed with it over all, plot was still very loose but it did contain a battleship game reference. Main thing that got me was they were able to bring a world war 2 battleship to life in the Hawaii harbor, fired those steam boilers up in about 5 seconds instantly had 1,000 psi of pressure, everything worked without a hitch, and guess what! The ship had plenty of live ammo just conveniently laying around for use. Not only that but after the main characters wash up ashore, they want to take the battleship out, get a few cool panning views then you see the veterans all over the ship in places you wonder "How the hell did they get up there" and "my god have they been there this whole time with the aliens destroying everything!?"  :rofl :rofl Few laughs, had some decent action, hardly any language, and was what you probably already think of it

I mean it wasn't terrible or bad, just a lot of hollywood bull crap, overall I would give the movie 7 out of 10 stars

Thanks but no, thanks.

This getting taken over by Aliens is starting to get old. I secretly thought "Battle for L.A." was stupid and silly but never said it cause I didnt want to seem un-American. But you gotta wonder how insects smart enough to go faster then light cant shoot straighter. :headscratch:

Why would not liking it be un-American? Independece Day was cheesy as hell too. But cheesy is just fine for summer action flicks.

Does stuff go boom, have a nearly tangible plot, and at least one busty good looking girl in it?

If so then yes I will go see it  :D

Horrible film.  Absolutely horrible.

There's also a new low budget copycat film starring Carl Weathers called 'American Battleship'
It's not worth checking out either.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

This is beyond cheesy.

It's even beyond ham and cheese.

Girl was ok, played a big part in saving the world in the end. Seeing those ships fire their main guns really got me ramped though, nothing like a giant arse gun lobbing rounds at an alien space ship to make your day  :D
