 Why don't you come on back to my room and I'll show you Daddy's battleship.

Battleship! just feels like one of those movies that deserves an exclamation point behind it, like Airplane! The whole thing just sounds so ridiculous: "Hey, let's make a $200 million movie based on a board game. Might as well have it star Rihanna, too." This is the kind of stuff that people talk about when they cringe about runaway budgets and fiscal irresponsibility, really. 
 
Wait, no - cancel that. Word on the street is that Liam Neeson has now been cast in a role in the film; now this movie will be awesome. He'll be playing one Admiral Shane, whose daughter ( Brooklyn Decker) is engaged to another naval officer ( Taylor Kitsch). I don't know who those people are, but I'm happy that Neeson is on board; if there's another actor working today who can provide the same level of instant gravitas as this dude can, well, I don't know him. Those aliens better hope that they don't wind up kidnapping Ms. Decker, or boy will they be in a world of hurt.

This was hilarious. Yea now that Liam Neeson is on board this film seems to be a bit more bad ass. lol

More importantly: The guy who played Ghenghis Khan in Mongol is in this movie. This movie may or may not suck, but the casting is insane.

I hope his daughter is abducted by sex traffickers, forcing Neeson to pursue them in the most badass manner possible. Then this movie will be great.

I wonder what the tagline is going to be for this film.

Well Brooklyn Decker's range so far seems to be looking hot and be playing a swimsuit model.  The more I hear of the movie the more it seems like a huge practical joke that got out of hand.

 Liam Neeson's acting prowess will go to good effect as he states letter-number combinations. I also hope he ends up saying the line "You sunk my battleship!"

Man, I can't wait for the Connect 4 movie. They'll make that next, right? It should star Ice T or 50 Cent.

Yeah, but we haven't got a rapper cast yet! All major Hollywood movies must have a rapper involved somewhere!

Maybe Peter Berg can make us understand what the fuck Neeson says!!
 
Between his mumbling and the over-blown sound mix of THE A-TEAM I reckon I understood about 20% of what the fuck Liam Neeson (or anyone) said in that movie.

With Rihanna and Brooklyn Decker I probably won't have any idea what is actually happening in the movie but I am sure I will leave enjoying it.

I remain unflinching in my negativity towards this film. Let's not forget how little Mr. Neesan's presence helped the Clash of Titan's remake.  The man's great, but there are some things that are beyond even his abilities.

I want someone in this film, doesn't matter who it is (although Liam Neeson would be preferable) to shout "You sank my battleship!" after a dramatic explosion. If that happens, everything else in this movie can slide.

This movie is quickly becoming the new Waterworld.
 
...and I loved Waterworld.

Taylor Kitsch played Gambit in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and he's also on Friday Night Lights (the TV show).

Trailer 2: Battleship

Alexander Skarsgard's facial expression more or less mirrors my own in regards to this latest Battleship trailer. Remind me again how this is not an elaborate Michael Bay parody?
Trailer: Battleship

I hate judging movies based on trailers, but...this is 100% guaranteed to be the dumbest movie of all time. OF ALL TIME.
