Escape to the Movies: Battleship
- Thread starter MovieBob
- Start date
That Batman thing looks awful, they should stick to animation and not digital animation. Know why? Oh just all those animated movies and shows of the past and present FUCKING RULE
That was just awful, and I love you for it.DVS BSTrD said:
Okay, I did not expect Battleship to be in anyway good, but to hear its THAT bad makes me sad. No, I wasn't going to see it, but it could have pulled a "Pirates of the Carribean" and been a pretty damn awesome movie based off of a really silly idea.
Also, I WANT Men in Black 3 to be good. I really really do.
It won't, but I really wish it could be...
They already tried mixing Dark Batman with Goofy Batman, in The Batman. It was halfway decent, with a really neat take on the Joker, but it didn't quite pan out.ZZoMBiE13 said:
You know what the sad thing is?
Some dumbass exec is going to be looking at this next to The Avengers and not be able to figure out what went wrong.
New pointless hope: This will be such a disaster that it will finally jar Hollywood out of this whole endless licensed movie kick.

It just isn't coming out here. Movies havent been banned in the u.s in 90 years.(outside of a few cities.)Zombine3D said:
I was kinda with Bob on this one, I was rooting for this movie to be good. But I will say I'm glad the Navy got some spotlight. I was going to pass this up, but the whole bit about "Ageing vets rearming a Battleship to help fight" Kinda makes me wanna go see it, just for that part!

Since the trailers did everything they could to make Battleship look like Transformers I was praying to the movie gods that it would fail. Not because I dislike anyone connected to the movie but Hollywood likes to emulate what sells tickets and they tend to avoid the things that failed. We really need the failure of some pants on head retarded movies to break Hollywood from the cycle of bad movies just to cash in on the brain dead people who only need special effects to be entertained.
I think I might go watch Avengers again this weekend just for the chance that someone in Hollywood would get the idea of more movies like Avengers instead of crap adaptions that only seem to share the names with the original property.
Also if Liam "Release the Kracken" Neeson doesn't get to say the line for Battleship then it's just an unforgivable offense.

You don't know how disappointed that is to hear. I mean, they had the pegs! The PEGS! It would of been such an easy line to add in. One ship goes down after a stupid order, the guy has a quiet moment of reflection and says "My god... they sunk my battleship."
Boom, 1 extra half-star.
Honestly, I never had high hopes for this movie myself. If anything I would have almost hoped it wouldn't be as serious as it seems to be, but it is what it is. At the very least the ships look cool.

It would have been nice is the predictions of basically the entire movie going population was wrong but it's nice to be right about these things once in a while.
They didn't even use 'the line,' that's just unforgivable.

Speaking as someone who despised the first Transformers movie and never saw the other 2, the alien ships were kinda busy, but not quite so much as any one of Bay's monstrosities.
There were some cheesy moments, they were predictable lines, and there were some groan worthy one liners.
But there were also some pretty damn funny moments, some particularly interesting ideas, and awesome veterans.
That being said... You'd think this planet had six suns with all the bloom in that movie. Things that I wouldn't think could reflect were blooming.
The bloom really is my biggest complaint, other than that, it wasn't really as bad as Bob says.... though that is of course, merely my opinion.

Well, that's a shame. I will watch this eventually however, if anything for the couple good things Bob had to say about it.
Badass endings have saved movies (for me) before. For example, the first person sequence in Doom was amazing.
I don't hold much hope for MIB3, time travel tends to fuck with the enjoyment of something. I think that's what ultimately killed Heroes.

I respect your opinion, but I didn't care for Rasta Joker. The voice actor was great, but for me it was too much of a departure from established Joker tropes. It just didn't feel like Joker to me.Soviet Heavy said:
I did however think that shows take on Riddler was interesting. But I pretty much consider "The Batman" a failure on most, if not all, levels.
Well battleship isn't great but I know so many worse it's not even close to transformer-bad and far from green-lantern-bad.. decent simple (dumb and klishe drenched) but some action scenes are awesome (not so much when they focus on the alien witch are bad..) worth a popcorn but not if you don't got a lot of them...
And I'm just wondering did I miss the "spoiler warning"? ... Bob kinda tells the whole movie almost... or at least it's pitch...
(Captcha: chicken feed XD)

Awww, nobody says the line? I would've gone to see the movie just to hear someone say it.
BTW, I do not like the art style of that new Batman thing either.

Cheer up, Bob. Maybe you'll get your wish to prove conventional wisdom wrong when Candy Land starring Adam Sandler- HAH, no, I just can't finish that with a straight face.
