Battleship Reviews

Movie Reviews

• was supposed to be a dud, but it's aimed in the right place, packed with brains and heart, and explosively fun

  by James Rocchi [MSN Movies ]

• too much uninteresting dialogue about “mysterious” aliens to wade through – plus, oodles of nauseating jingoism and slow-motion heroism

  by Adam Litovitz [Globe and Mail ]

• the screenplay, by Jon and Erich Hoeber, goes through such extraordinary narrative contortions in order to justify an allusion to the game's familiar grid-work board and guessing-game strategy

  by Nick Pinkerton [Village Voice ]

• the movie drags on way too long

  by Bill Goodykoontz [Arizona Republic ]

• the captains of this movie deserve a medal

  Review rate : B+ by Lisa Schwarzbaum [Entertainment Weekly ]

• overlong and numbing military-vs.-aliens saga with laughably bad dialogue

  by Claudia Puig [USA Today ]

• no characters, no plot, no natural tension

  by Bob Mondello [NPR ]

• like "Transformers," which it rivals in relentlessness, "Battleship" comes with its own force field

  by Joe Morgenstern [Wall Street Journal ]

• it's loud, it's large, it's stupid, and its best gag involves a chicken burrito

  by Amy Biancolli [San Francisco Chronicle ]

• it's all very earnest, but it's not a whole lot of fun

  by Kenneth Turan [Los Angeles Times ]

• it even-please fine me for saying this-makes Michael Bay's Transformersmovies look rollicking by comparison

  by Dana Stevens [Slate ]

• dumb, noisy, and flashy

  by James Berardinelli [ReelViews ]

• dopey, preposterous and unintentionally hilarious in all the wrong place

  by Rex Reed [New York Observer ]

• delivering volley after volley of impressive special effects, snicker-worthy dialogue, goofball humor and -- best of all -- aliens vs. the Navy showdowns at sea

  by Randy Myers [San Jose Mercury News ]
